I know it's kind of a silly question, but I'm curious. Would you still celebrate a birthday if you arrived here just a little before it? For fun, or for real?

[April 1st: 1pm

Everyone needs a break from training now and then, and Katara is putting this theory to good practice right now.

A Meowth on a surfboard.

Well that's... different...? Or, heck, maybe not, knowing this place. Yeah, probably not. Still, different or not there is definitely a Meowth on a surfboard. She's not alone, though, as her new trainer- Katara -is standing behind her more towards the middle-back end of the board as they ride the waves, cheering and laughing.

The other Pokemon currently in her party are relaxing on the back of her Lapras, who happens to be the one providing the waves using-- well --"Surf". There's Carla and Arnook, at least. Jet and Hikaru (her new Leafeon) are both resting on the shore guarding her possessions and keeping an eye on her eggs.]

I never would have guessed Meowths would be such big fans of water. Careful you don't go over the edge, Nikta.

[The Meowth doesn't seem to be listening, she's intent on getting as close to the front of the board as she possibly can. Feel free to join or approach once they reach the shore.]

[Imogen gets to see what Katara is up to, since her gear is out with her. At the moment she's not surfing, just drifting along on Kishi's back.]

Well, at first I wasn't sure when it was, exactly. Sokka had to help me figure out how the dates here compare with our system back home. Then I realized it passed by just a few days after I'd come back.

[Not to mention that technically she's not sure if she really aged one year, two years, or three years between her travels here and home.]

So then have a not birthday party, I have those all the time at home!

*Which is an energetic but unabashed lie. That's just Imogen's way to cope.*

I mean, it's about you, celebrate it whenever you want! Also because parties are fun.

I guess I could, it just seems a little strange celebrating without my brother. We've been together for every one of my birthdays until now. [Save for her first one in Johto, but it had come and gone without her realizing it, so.] Maybe if he comes back we can celebrate both of ours. When is yours, Imogen?

Oh... well, that would be a reason to wait! If you think he'll be back.

...Is anyone else from your home here?

Mine's all the way in July, but given how time is all wonky from my arrival I should already be 18. But it's just a day, the party is celebrating you, it doesn't need to be held to just one day.

This place has a way of surprising us, and I have a good feeling. For now I'm just glad he doesn't have to miss me or the others.

I'm not that great at throwing parties. Or, I guess technically I've never tried, actually.

I have lots of good feelings! I hope yours work out as true, and not just being all shiny.

*Except about seeing anyone from home.*

Well, you don't know how you are at throwing parties. If you want someone a bit more veteran I can offer my services!

I'll be sure to give you a call if I decide to throw one. I appreciate it, in advance.
