[ Honey's sitting in front of a pretty large looking cake at a cafe in Viridian. This thing probably cost him an entire paycheck, if not two. Kan-chan the Kangaskhan is looking on with what can only be described as slight motherly disapproval, although this is pretty par for the course for Honey. ]

Hiiiiii everyone! I reached Viridian City, ne. And made some new friends along the way - Kan-chan, introduce Jin-chan! [ Well, okay. The Kangaskhan seems pacified by this instruction, and will shuffle forward to lift something out of her front pouch - a tiny, annoyed piplup. He doesn't seem to appreciate the mothering, but both Honey and Kan-chan ignore that. ] Say hello, Jin-chan! [ NO. Something else seems to be speeding around in the background... ] And that's Nina-chan, although she doesn't like to sit still!

[ But anyway back to the matter at hand... ] We're having a birthday party~! Today is the 28th, so I'm nineteen! Ah, although I was born on the 29th, this year isn't a leap year in this place...so, this is a one-cake birthday. Although it's not as big as the kind I normally get at home, I think this one looks good, too, don't you~?

[ ...How big is the cake he gets at home, though...

But no, that note about his age dropped, Honey will just finish this up, although the feed catches a last comment from him. ] Now, what piece do you want Kan-chan, Jin-chan, Nina-chan?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Honey is a very cute name, I'll go with it. It's nice to meet you!

Hmmm, but in theory you could celebrate it on two days when it's not leap year and then you could eat two cakes - or half a cake on each day.

Just a moment~.

[Using the next table to grab her sketchbook from her bag, writing something on a paper or something. Once she's finished, the sketchbook and pens go back to her bag and Madoka turns around, offering him a ~~birthday card~~ picture of Honey eating the cake/having a birthday party with his Pokémon. They're all looking happy on that picture, by the way, no annoyed looking penguins there. On the flipside there's the Happy Birthday line with his name on it, and signature from Madoka, completed with little pictures of Eevee, Togepi and Pichu.]

Let's try again now that I know your name! Happy Birthday, Honey-san!

[She won't let it feel weird to say -san, no matter how young he looks. He said he's 19, so she won't question that he's 19 and Madoka herself is only 14.]

Thank you, Madoka-chan~!

And you're right!!! I never thought of that, but I could! [ HE NOW HAS PLANS FOR 2016.

Honey watches curiously as Madoka sorts out her sketchbook, but accepts the card with a smile once he sees what it is. And the smile only gets wider once he reads it over. ]

Ahhhhhh, this is so cute!!! Thank you, Madoka-chan~! You're a really good artist, you know~!

Maybe you can do it next time. Or well, it's not too late to do it this year either. [Unless he is out of money, because wow, that is a huge cake! Hmmm, but maybe Mami-san could help~.

She's really glad that he likes the gift. She's too new to have anything else to give, but she really loves drawing.]

You're welcome! Eheheh, I'm so glad you like it. [Hearing the last line she twitches, blushes and fidgets a little. Looking around shyly too.] You really think so? I -- I really love drawing, and I think I might try drawing things like that to people I meet here. You're the first new person to actually get one --

[Oh, but have a smile! She should get better at being complimented on her work.]

I mean, thank you very much, it means a lot to hear that.

Oh, well...we spent a lot of our money on today's party~! But maybe if the days can be a little further apart, we can have one next week!

[ That's not the royal we so much as indicating his pokemon are sort of involved in the decision making. ...They...sort of help out? ]

I do think so! And I'll treasure it well if that's the case! Do you want to be an artist when you get older, then~? I'm sure lots of people would appreciate getting pieces of your work!

[ Host club mode is go. ]

Ah, umm well I could ask my friend to bake you a cake, maybe? She loves baking and everything she makes is delicious.

[Fun fact: she thought he was speaking about his Pokémon~, so she was right. She's a big sister after all, she might be used to that sort of speak. ...Plus she doesn't know much about him, so that's what she assumed.]

Thank you for treasuring it well. Mmm, being an artist sound like it would be fun. Maybe I should aim to be a real artist. [Except she can't, but she won't tell it. She makes a happy sound.] I think I'll ask about it on the network later. What do you want to be when you grow up, Honey-san?

Your friend? Ah!! I have a friend who bakes, too, but she isn't here~ although I've met lots of people on the network who said they can. But that's so amazing! I wish I could bake delicious cakes...

Me? I want to open the Haninozuka company up to toys and race cars~! So I'm taking courses at the science and technology college, ne. [ Much like he is older than he looks, he is actually smarter than he looks. ...NEVER APPROPRIATE LOOKS FTW... ] And if it's something you enjoy, it's something to consider! I like toys, so I want to make them, you know?

Mmhm, I was lucky enough to meet someone from home in this world. I hope your friend comes here someday. Ah, I wish I could bake them too. Maybe Mami-san could teach us...

[That would be fun, and adorable and she should ask her about it soon.]

Heheh, toys and race cars sounds like something my little brother would enjoy. We'd buy everything from your company to him. Ummm, you look very young for a college student, but that's amazing. Good luck with your studies there. [Not that Madoka looks so innocent with her weapons either, uh huh.] I wish everyone could just do whatever they want.

Cooking lessons~! I would be happy to have those! And I hope my friend comes here, too. I think she would find this fun! [ ...She wouldn't. ]

Ah~ I get that a lot! I've always had a young face, ne? But I don't mind that. [ He looks curious about the last statement, but he's a bit too much of a gentleman to pry. ] In this place, this world, I think you can do what you like. At least, it seems that way to me!

I think having those would be great! Maybe they offer something on TV too~. [They should, considering how many little kids they kidnap here.] I'm not really sure if my friends would find this fun, but it would be so amazing to have everyone together again.

But always having a cute, young face sounds fun. [She loves you already.] Mm, I think you're right. Even if you'd like to be a breeder instead of trainer, it would be easy to switch to whatever you want to do. And there seems to be so much to do... It's fun as long as there's things to do, and when there's not, we'll just have to come up with something new.

That would be a good thing, I think! Ah, a lot of people who come here may not know how to cook...And I think I'd like my friends here, too, but it's also nice to make new friends, right?

[ He's adopting her, SHE'S WONDERFUL. ] Right! Are you a trainer or a breeder, Madoka-chan?
