birthday girl mingle

[stilllovesyou]

[Nona brings out a selection of party hats and a single balloon. Noodle is at her heel, running around happily with all six of his legs. She puts one party hat on her head, lets the balloon float to the roof, and puts the rest down for others to grab.]

It's my birthday! My half birthday, anyway. Everyone here is invited. As my present I want everyone to be nice to me.

[She's still a little drained and she's looking a little tired, but she's happy.]

[gluttoning]

Nona!

[He grabs the hat, putting it in his mouth first before realizing that it's not a snack, then quickly attempting to fix his mistake. His hat has bite marks on it now, it's fine.]

Happy half-birthday. How old are you today?

[stilllovesyou]

My body is nineteen and a half. But. I've been Nona for exactly six months.

[gluttoning]

...Oh?

[The surprise is there, but mild. Satan had a similar situation, sort of... maybe it was something similar?]

I haven't met too many people with two ages. Who were you before you were Nona?

[stilllovesyou]

Nobody knows.

[She smiles, it's a little sad.]

I have no memories before I was Nona. Nobody knows who I was.

But I am Nona, so it doesn't matter right now.

[gluttoning]

...

[He sighs, before leaning down to be more at her level.]

It doesn't.

I'm really glad you're Nona. I'm really glad we're friends. And I'm happy I can be here for your six month half-birthday.

Maybe we can go swimming soon, when we're not all locked up. Would you like that?

[stilllovesyou]

...

I would really love that, Beel. Thank you for being my friend, I love you.

[And if she's tearing up a little, well...]

[dakicover]

Happy birthday!

[ you know what?? nona deserves people being nice to her, and crea will gladly put on a hat. it was lake's birthday before coming here, wasn't it? man, time sure has passed. ]

I haven't been to a birthday party in forever!

[stilllovesyou]

I've never been to one! But I was planning a birthday party back home before I was kidnapped. I can't have it there so I'll have it here.

1/2

[dakicover]

Oh, well I guess it’s good that you can spend time with some of the friends you made here, then…

2/2

[dakicover]

[ wait a second— ]

Wait, YOU WERE KIDNAPPED?????

[stilllovesyou]

We all were, weren't we??

[dakicover]

Ah...

I- I guess you're right. [ and here he thought it was before coming here. ] It's been way too long...

[stilllovesyou]

Maybe.

But I'm glad I got to meet all of you anyway. And I got to spend all this time with you. I think I was really, really lucky.

[townmusician]

[Well, if it’s a birthday party now, he’ll put on a hat.]

Happy half birthday, I guess? It could be a better one, I’m sure.

[Being nice to someone is easy in theory but Haruka is… challenged.]

[stilllovesyou]

Maybe. I'd love it if I could have my friends back home here, but considering the circumstances this is the best birthday party I could ever hope for.

[Her standards are so low. Her dream gift was rainbow hair ties, which Xiao already got for her.]

[townmusician]

Just make ‘em throw you another party when you see them again. There’s no reason you can’t have two parties. Or more!

[Every day can be a party, who cares.]

[stilllovesyou]

Yeah, I can.

[There's something a little sad in her tone, but she snaps out of it pretty quickly.]

When's your birthday, Haruka? Maybe we can have a party for you too.

[townmusician]

[No time to be sad right now, they can be sad in the morning when one of them is found dead.]

December 6th. It's a pretty long way from right now, though.

[stilllovesyou]

Nothing's stopping you from having a half birthday too.

[plunges]

Your half-birthday?

[ He's never heard of that before, but there's a small smile on his face, now. ]

You should have told me. I would have gotten you a present, again.

[stilllovesyou]

I'm not that greedy. You already got me what I wanted for my birthday.

[She shows off the rainbow hair ties like they're the coolest thing in the world.]

Everyone was distracted, I didn't want to make it into a big deal.

i can't believe nona is fucking dead

[plunges]

Ah...you liked them, then? That's good.

[ He sounds a little relieved. Silly Xiao. ]

What is a half-birthday? I've never heard of that before.

[idologue]

[ Lacus puts on her party hat with a giggle. It's been a while since she's been at a party with this kind of outfit code.

And Nona gets another hug, this is her fate tonight. Love love love!! If Lacus looks a little sad as soon as Nona isn't looking her way, that's pure imagination. ]

🎵 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Nona, Happy Birthday to you 🎵

[ Everyone else is free to join in on this song but it's happening even if it's a solo. ]

[stilllovesyou]

Oh, it's a song!

[Nona claps in pure delight, jumping up and down like an excited puppy. She tries to sing along a little, but she... doesn't know the lyrics.]
