Phibrizzzzooooo! I have a question for you, so call me back soon, okay?
[There's a certain level of dread at how excited she sounds, but maybe she's asking something about magic. Anyhow, it's just a phone call. He calls her back a few hours later.]
Ring, ring
Ring, ring
[And his phone call is answered with happy laughter!]
Ahhh - yay! You called me back!
Ahhh - yay! You called me back!
[He winces a bit. He's so very glad he's not in the same room as her right now.]
What was your question, Pino?
What was your question, Pino?
I was just thinking. So many people are talking about birthdays soon, even my papa. But...I don't really have a birthday, since I was never really born. Do you have one even though you're magical?
No...I never really worried about it. I guess if you're around people talking about birthdays, it would bother you a little more.
You should just pick a day you want for your birthday, Pino.
You should just pick a day you want for your birthday, Pino.
On the calendar. Since you don't have a birthday, that means you can choose any day to be your birthday. Maybe if you can remember what day you first arrived in Siren's Port, that could be your birthday.
[That...actually makes a little sense. She hums thoughtfully.]
Hmmm. What day did you choose for your birthday?
Hmmm. What day did you choose for your birthday?
I didn't pick one...but I don't really care about having a birthday. I guess if I had to pick one for records and stuff I'd pick a day in late January.
But...how come you don't care about having one? Isn't it important to you at all?
Well, I don't really like to go to parties...so if I had a birthday I'd have to have a birthday party, right?
Mmmm, how can you not like parties? Aren't they supposed to make people happy?
[That's exactly why he doesn't like them. Not that he can tell her anything of the sort.]
I think they're too loud...I'd rather just be around a few people at a time.

You can just invite a few people over for a party! It doesn't need to be a lot of people! Just the ones that you like the best!
[A few of his favourite people in one room might result in them killing one another. Still, that does remind him of one idea.]
Well, maybe a horror movie watching party like the one Sunako had before would be fun...

A horror movie watching party? What's that like?
Well, it was an all-day marathon of watching the scariest movies we could find. There were snacks, and we made some of them look like guts even though it was really just mashed up cookies and popcorn. Whoever covered their eyes or looked away had to eat the snack that looked like guts.
It was fun!
It was fun!
[She giggles at the mental image.]
How many times did you cover your eyes? I'll bet you never did, huh?
How many times did you cover your eyes? I'll bet you never did, huh?
That's right! Not even once. I'm really hard to scare.
Nothing scares you? Nothing at all? There has to be something!
Well...my mother's temper is a little scary. I got a lecture from her right before the Core brought me here. She's an incredibly powerful sorceress.
My mother used to lecture me too, but she was just a normal person. Not a sorceress. What kind of magic could she do? The same as yours?
My mother created a spell that can cut through anything - even into dimensional space. She's amazing.
Dimensional space...
So, if she knew you were here, she could come and get you, right?
