piratejournal | [voice] It's my party, and I'll throw it if I want to.

Ahem.

[Maribelle clears her throat to grab everyone's attention, as though she has some form of announcement to make.]

Today is my birthday, and as such I've decided to throw a little get together on Isla Empieza for all my close friends and anyone else who wishes to attend. Presents of course are not mandatory, but certainly encouraged, and certain individuals who know who they are, will be in a bit of hot water if they've forgotten all about my birthday.

My birthday party shall be at the Empieza Inn, and will go from now until late this evening. I have acquired a variety of candies and other hors d'oeuvres, and there will be music, dancing, and a general good time for everyone who attends.

[Maribelle's tone becomes a bit harsher as she lays down a few ground rules.]

There are certain individuals who are not invited, and the majority of them are lowborn pirate scoundrels! However, there are certain exceptions to this rule since I am not a completely heartless birthday girl. The host club, The Straw Hat Pirates, Hazardous Materials, and of course my former Shepherds are all invited if they wish, and any other pirates who do wish to attend must remember this is a somewhat formal occasion, so remember your manners and dress your best.

As for those of you who cannot make it to my party because your ship's nav has been used too recently, you have my sincerest apologies. I did not feel I should publicly announce my birthday is approaching weeks in advance because I needed to test certain individuals. I assure you that next year that all my guests will receive party invitations with at least a week's notice so that they can attend the celebration. Have a good day everyone~!

[OOC: Long story short?! It's Maribelle's birthday today, and I'm going to have a little party log that people can come party in over here. Sorry about the short notice for people who wanted their share of candy mountain candy, and partying with Maribelle, but I only remembered last night myself xD]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[he's not really on a sugar high. Well sort of ebbing from one. But his enthusiasm is more cuz he knows you than anything]

I can't come cuz Smoker used the thingy! But I can send you some candy! [he's not sure how or when it will show up or anything but...]

[Well after being woken up rather loudly for him saying happy birthday to Usopp, she supposes she should have expected this.]

I take it you were never taught to use your indoor voice Luffy?

Oh! I'd nearly forgotten that he and I used that so recently... I suppose that means none of the Straw Hat pirates will be capable of attending. Ah... would you do me a favor? Could you do something nice for Keimi for me? I feel guilty that she's going to miss my birthday party.

But I'm not indoors. [he's sitting on the figurehead actually]

Yeah! [no wait...] Mm well kinda. I think she's kinda mad at me. You should ask Sanji. He's good at doing special stuff for girls.

Yes dear, but some of us who are trying to use these journals are. So it's common courtesy not to bellow into them in case you happen to disturb anyone trying to use it.

[A pause...]

What did you do?

[Her darling Keimi is a gentle soul Luffy!]
