#ooc

Might have been adjusted around, but not ignored.

I don't know. I mean, y'know, improv rules...say "yes" to what's been offered.

Might make Siv look more unjustifiyably mopey than she was acting on

Who on earth would have authorized a birthday close to Yule????

Drat.

I really, honestly, totally missed it.

Well, perhaps it was a 'you are a gift' motiff 🙂

Ugh.

Okay, I totally need to figure out how to strategize this, because I really didn't know it was a thing.

Catnik declared Siv a Sagittarius . I lookedi t up and said Yup. Mentioned it to others. Most agreed she it. And I said then her birthday is near yule. But it wasn't sent out in an Email with large font 🙂

So dont beat yourself up

Mm. nod No, I just...I need to figure out how to justify that they missed her birthday without Brekke going into a pit of despair.

Of the I'm-a-terrible-mother variety.

And I'm half-way to posting "Wait, when's your birthday" from Sylvi, which would just codify the problem.

Options 1) They did do it. Someone has stolen or altered the memory but WHY! 2) They didn't do it, but no one remembers that date! It as if a day was taken out of the calender. Know what knows what they were doing Dec 17! ( Or 20th Or whatever) Someone has stolen Siv's Birthday itself! 3) Jessica had her break down near it. And brekke DID tell her daughter they would have the birthday but Siv forgot it was being post poned. 4) Court demands? 5) It's EBG's fault. Its always his fault!

Hmmm...Hang on, need to feed the cats, then I'll get back to you.

Also possible Kerri was never told the Birthday.

How about they had a fine birthday celebration but Jess didn't attend? Because I didn't even know, I think. We had a lot of RL and ER going on around that time, no one brought it up or specified WHEN the bday was.

Evenin' all.

Hi.

Yeah, but now it's established that Siv's birthday's been missed, and we need to go forward with that because it's a character development thing for the last several IC days.

I can retract.

No, I don't think that's a great idea.

Well, okay. those options then?

Or others?

Thinking....

Because if Sylvi looks at her and goes "But Siv, you DID have a birthday. I was there" it certainly will blow Siv's mind but I can work with it. If Sylvi says"yeah I..wait, what DID we do?" that throws something into the mix that's different 🙂

Interestingly, the birthday-was-stolen is most consistent with Siv's improbable existence.

Yeah, actually, that reaction is kind of what I was thinking...the "We did!...didn't we?"

If you're okay with rolling with that, I can move forward with it.

sure! Idid not mean to make you feel OOCly bad or drive Brekke into a depression

I am good with that.

Okay. Hope I didn't offend you either, shady.

Of course you didn't. And I didn't mean to make Siv feel like the forgotten offspring!

I know Frank has legit conccerns with daughters 🙂

Well, it's the fact someone has built a wall around Jessica to keep her out that has her thinking on the Birthday thing 😉

We're just going to get the whole King family matching t-shirts that read "It's Complicated!"

Ping, incidentally.

I am still sleep-groggy.

Okay. So you guys DO have a set date... Dec 17 , 18th, 19th, or 20th? Which one? obviously don't want it ON Yule.

smooch Shades.

Well...they're all difficult for me, RP-wise. It's one of the busiest times of our mundane lives, PLUS one of the busiest times of our RP seasons. But I guess the most reasonable date out of those is the 17th.

OK. Sorry if I had thought it through I'd have made her an Leo or something

No, it's okay, I just...I'm a bit flummoxed that I really had no idea.

NP. This might actually turn out to be retroactively fun. "Whatever happened to Monday" indeed

Ok.... getting there.....

You can do it, Shady!

Good thing not many Eiluned in RV..."Hey, a date is missing but you know, don't dwell on that"
