[ Madoka's voice comes over the journal singing!! ]

Happy birthday to me~! Happy birthday to me~!

Happy birthday [ ........ nope too shy to go on. She cuts herself off with giggles at and is almost audibly covering her face. She still sounds pretty pleased though; ] Ah, never mind, forget that! It's too embarrassing!

But, back when everyone was still at Isla Empieza, did anyone see somewhere that might have cake? Just a small one would be fine...

Happy birthday, Madoka!! Don't worry if you can't find a cake! Your friends can still sing to you and give you presents!

[bydesign]

That's embarrassing! Our resources are limited, so I don't mind if I don't get any gifts or anything...

But if we could all share a cake that would be the best, I think.

[Voice for now]

Today's your birthday!?

[ oh my god she totally didn't realize- ]

[bydesign]

... Well now you're not getting any cake.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

You've got an October birthday too, eh?

[Voice]

[bydesign]

You too?

[This confuses Mitsuhide; the concept of a birthday is completely alien to him, and he's never even heard of cake. He gets curious enough that he decides to respond, despite his somewhat reclusive mood.]

[His voice is quiet, and perhaps a little uncertain. Hopefully this is an acceptable question.]

Forgive me, my Lady, but if I may ask... what is a 'birthday?'

[Voice]

[bydesign]

A birthday is... Your day of birth! It's like an anniversary celebration for you being born.

voice + drawing;

[ O: it's someone's birthday? ]

Happy Birthday! ... I don't remember anywhere that looked like a bakery, but...

[ She shuts up and a scribble starts to appear - a drawing that mostly resembles a cake, with lit candles on top. ]

[ *u* Madoka scribbles some lil hearts and stars around it!!! ]

Thank you! Hehe, almost as good as a real one! [ that might be an exaggeration but hush ]

Happy birthday!

[It's not a real cake, but it's a very convincing drawing of one, at least.]

Thank you!

[ Sparklies all around it to show how happy that made her!

She adds some randomly scattered balloons for good measure. ]

Cake? We all have an important goal to reach and you waste time on...cake? Is one more year of existence really that special of an event?

[Voice]

[bydesign]

Yes. It means quite a bit to me.

[yatagarasu]

Happy birthday! I was kinda busy looking for a way out back then, but I'll keep an eye out when we pop back there, okay?

[voice]

[bydesign]

We'll probably be departing soon, so I think it'll be too late... But thank you for the thought! Ah, I guess it wouldn't hurt to know, even later.

Greetings to you and good wishes for a safe and happy birthday. I have never heard that phrase until now, but it clearly means you are celebrating the anniversary of your birth. May you have many more and may they be full of joy, young one.

[ ..... Madoka tries to match her level of formality, but doesn't really succeed. uwu she feels embarrassed for singing so childishly when this person is being so mature. ]

Thank you very much. I've been surprised that other cultures don't celebrate birthdays, but you're not the first one to mention it.

[ There's a really long pause before she adds on ]

Happy birthday, Captain.

But, no, I didn't. I'm sorry.

[bydesign]

Just Madoka is fine.

It's alright! I think me and Homura-chan are going to make one. And then we'll all share, okay?

[voice]

[carptricks]

Your birthday, huh?

[The bad thing about these network journals not having a video option: he can't give her a long distance birthday magic show :(]

Heh! Look for me next time we're on the same island together, okay?

[voice]

[bydesign]

Ehh, why?

Forever late! SHHHHHHH!

[fabnguns]

It's your birthday? Such a shame to spend it in a place like this, isn't it?

shh no no no, nothing is ever late

[bydesign]

I like it, actually.

Forever late ^^;

[deadlyribbons]

Happy Birthday, Madoka-san.

I did not but... assuming we have some basic ingredients, I'd be more than happy to bake a small birthday cake for you.

BACKTHREADING OF THE GODS it's who i am inside np np

[bydesign]

Homura-chan and I are going to make one. I think we've got all the ingredients.

But I definitely want us to all eat it together, okay? Even if it's not very good!
