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]

Oh, dear. I hope he hasn't been giving you trouble?

[Because Ranma gives everyone trouble.]

Ah, fate has obviously rolled the dice in my favor. However, how sad am I - he is still not with me at this very moment, as I am at sea!

[Not sure that Kodachi would make a great daughter-in-law . . .]

That man has quite the nerve to talk to his social betters the way he does, and leaving his fiance alone in the middle of the ocean rather than rushing to her side.

[You never know... she is from a well off ~~psychotic~~ family... and she is devoted in her own... ~~psychotic~~ special brand of devotion.]

I would like to see the two of you visit me at some future date to have tea and discuss matters. It seems only fair that this man make his intentions perfectly clear to his fiance.

[Which you know, was a trick question for Ranma since he has so many fiances he hasn't made his intentions clear to.]

You have a point, Miss Maribelle. Oh, how lonely I have been!

[Another dramatic sigh.]

I'd love to have tea with you! How exciting! I shall be certain to bring delicious pastries to go with our tea. I also look forward to our scintillating discussion.

[Heh heh.]

What are you wearing to your birthday party? I wish I could see it in person, but for now, a description will have to do.
