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.]

(ooc: Just pretend the reply is whichever, for now!)

[She smiles to herself at that.]

That's a good way of looking at it. I guess it would make things easier to deal with if you can keep more things from home the same.

(OOC: lol I'm sorry! I knew I forgot something but just couldn't figure out what)

Yeah, it's helped me adjust before, keeping parts of your life before in a new place, maybe small changes to make it fit your new environment, but at the core it's the same as before.

Is it your birthday?

(ooc: No worries! I've done it plenty of times!)

Really? You've dealt with things like this before, then? I'm sure the experience must have come in handy. I actually had my birthday already pass though, actually. The date system is different here than back home.

Yeah, I had something very similar happen before, but this time it's more enjoyable. The time here is different, there's about a year difference here from where I was originally. But happy birthday anyways.

I'm glad that you're taking it better this time. [She probably would have asked what happened, but the subject is already shifting again so she'll have to come back to it another time, or a bit later. She's curious in a concerned way, though.] Thank you. Have you celebrated yours already?

[So she knows when to send you birthday wishes.]

No, it's not til July, so it's a ways off. I'm actually further from it now then I was before coming here.

I guess that technically means you have more time to get ready? [And make plenty of friends to celebrate with you, if you're the only one around from home.]

Seems so. It'll be interesting how that goes here. It's on a holiday back home, so I've never really celebrated without it.

[it often got forgotten, not that he ever minded, with all the fireworks and celebration, he was okay with sharing it with his country]

Really? Which day is it? They seem to celebrate a few here, but we don't have the same ones back home.

[Katara will remember it! He'll probably get a message on the fourth, if he tells her, that is.]

July 4th. How about yours?

[He'll do the same should she tell him]

[BRB writing that down on her breeder's notepad just for reference.]

March twentieth. [She thinks at least.] My name is Katara, by the way.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Katara. I'm Steve.

[will remember to note her birthday somewhere later]

The pleasure is mine, Steve. [Gosh you're polite. Have a bigger smile!] And thank you for answering. You've given me something else to think about.

[Namely that maybe she shouldn't feel so bad for comparing things, events, and people to home so much.]

(ooc: I hope it's alright! I know this thread has been short, but I'm not sure where else to steer the convo until they get better acquainted. I'm open to continue otherwise!)

Glad I could be of some help. [Smiles]

(ooc: I can't think of much that he would bring up or ask at this point. But I'm sure they will have plenty of chances to interact and get to know each other! I do enjoy the CR they're building)
