for one so small, you seem so strong

[OOC: There will be a log on the 2nd for Clover's birthday party if you guys are interested~]

[Clover is in the kitchen of their house, bringing out a tray of freshly baked chocolate cupcakes from the oven. On the counter, a Togepi is...well, doing his best to mix a bowl of pink frosting with a wooden spoon and he's tittering happily while he's at it. She peers at her cupcakes and then places them next to the bowl.

Then she smiles, and sighs contentedly; well, her creations were a lovely, steamy brown. They were a success, and all that was left was to decorate them.]

All right, Lucky, you can stop stirring. [She faces her 'gear which is perched somewhere close - and yet it has miraculously stayed clean. Like the kitchen, which only had a few stains and patches of flour that could easily be cleaned up later. And yes, Lucky the Togepi finally stops stirring.]

My birthday's next week. February 2, to be exact. [There's a faraway look in her eyes, and her smile fades into a more wistful expression. The Togepi waddles over to her, gripping her arm.] I can't believe I'm actually gonna be celebrating my birthday really far from home... [Without her friends back in her world, without her family, without her brother...]

[She idly pats the Togepi.] Well, at least I still have people to celebrate it with. [And when Clover glances down, she will see a Vaporeon and an Eevee at her feet, looking expectantly up at her.]

And Pokémon. 

[Filtered to CASTMATES, Clive, Luke, Fuu, Rise, Hayate, Heather, Chloe, Larry, China, Sakura, Wataru, Fuji]

[What is filtering to the shotas, THEY KNOW THIS ALREADY.]

I'm inviting you guys to our house for my birthday - I mean, if you're around Goldenrod. We'll have lunch, play games and stuff. [Insert directions to the House of Shota-Loli-Shota Sandwich.]

But  yeah, I bet some of you are traveling, which is okay. I mean, there's not much to do 'round here sometimes. [Clover sort of wishes she could do the same and continue grabbing some badges, but she doesn't want to leave Ken and Miles. She'll only go if they go with her.]

[Filtered to Santa]

I mean it. 

Okay...so, um, I just caught a Sentret. With help from Light, of course. [Clover proudly holds up a Pokéball. Light, her Budew, is peering up at it.] It's a guy, but I dunno what to name it yet. [She shrugs.]

How do Pokémon fit into these little balls? [She turns the ball over and over, squinting at it.] It must be cramped in here...maybe it's bigger on the inside than the outside? It's like stuffing an entire country in a wardrobe...

...

By the way, how do I earn more money? Do I gotta get a job? [More to herself than to anyone else:] I should probably also get a bike...
