July 22nd. the day that she was born sixteen years ago. she wasn't sure if anybody knew, although she had been in the group since she was nine so they might, but today was always fun. she sort of celebrated herself by going out and getting a flower pot somewhere and getting herself a new plant to her room, and as such, she was crouched outside on the porch with a bag of dirt and a small hibiscus tree. of course that didn't grow here naturally but it did in st Peter's after all the plants that their gardens and such for food and trade seeded and blew everywhere. and so she had a small one that she had traded three pretty shells she had found while walking on a beach and a pair of shoes that she had outgrown and didn't fit anybody else for it.

inglenook#6454 | female & bisexual | trying to come back
[align=left][justify][size=9pt]rudolf had been at the lodge for a very long time. He had seen many people grow, and many people die. In this new world they all lived in, many old traditions became trivial and forgotten; not for Rudolf. He had started keeping a notebook filled with the various celebrations - holidays, birthdays, even just celebrations for their own little group. He kept a calendar updated, afraid that the lack of power would leave them almost stranded in time. Each day he cross referenced the notebook and calendar, looking for something to celebrate. And today, there was a birthday.
He had been there to watch the young girl grow for several years, and each year he tried to make her birthday feel special. This year was no different. As Rudolf approached Dahlia, he marveled at her green thumb. How wonderful it must be to be able to maintain the life of plants in this climate. Lightly tapping her shoulder, he gave her a big smile and sat down his present; it was a gardening book he'd found at the back of the library when he had cleaned through it. "Happy birthday!" he spoke and signed with his good arm.

Johannes had remembered. Well; he'd always found out, one way or another, when a birthday rolled around. He rarely prepared for it himself; but today was a big day. Sixteen was important; and he'd taken care to remind himself when it was approaching. Dahlia was someone he'd known for a long time, as she'd been at the lodge almost as long as he had. Granted--he hadn't been a part of the lodge as long as Rudolf had; and he wasn't surprised to see his friend had already found Dahlia. Glad, though, that it was just the two of them; if there were many more he wouldn't have wanted to stick around. "Hey," He called out gruffly, giving her a nod and waving at the pair of them. "Sixteen." He felt his tone was appreciative enough; and he bit his lip, pausing before pulling out his...small contribution. It was a toy; a small stuffed mouse. "For your cat--" He offered it, unsure if it was really the best offering, but it was all he'd been able to come up with.
Sinking fast,
the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue
with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me

robin would've gone about his day thinking that nothing of interest was happen if not for one of the npc's reminding him that today was someone’s birthday. after questioning the guy further, he had found out that dahlia was turning sixteen today, which came as a surprise. even though he hadn't know her for very long, the younger teen seemed pretty damn cool, and was on the list of people he wanted to be friends with. so upon realizing that he didn’t have a present for her, the brunette quickly whipped something up and bounded down the stairs to the garden, where dahlia could often be found.
it didn’t take long for him to locate her, a smile appearing on his face as he walked over to the gathered group. “i heard it’s your birthday today, so i made you this!†he chirped, pulling out a light green scarf. it had taken him about an hour to make, and his wrists were pretty sore, but it was worth it. “are you going to do anything special to celebrate?"
We will fight or we will fall

Gray hadn't been here long enough to know when people had birthdays, or what they'd like for gifts, or anything. He wasn't even all that familiar with Dahlia beyond a surface level, but had been drawn over by the gathering group of people talking about a birthday.
Birthdays were... iffy for him. He'd had many good birthdays, and borne witness to good ones, but the same was true of bad ones. There were certainly a few he'd rather forget, and for once he shoved the memories of them aside successfully. This wasn't about him, this was Dahlia's day.
Gray didn't have anything to give, at least right now. Maybe he could try his hand at making a cake later, but right now he had to at least give his good wishes to the birthday girl - anything else would be impolite. "Happy birthday, Dahlia. Uh, sorry I don't have anything." He ducked his head, shoving his hands into his pockets.
