Okay, everyone, listen listen! I've been doing some thinking lately and I realized that it would be a good idea to make a list of everyone's birthdays! We're all just getting to know each other and it's not something you think to ask about right away, but then you feel bad when you don't know! Maybe if I make a list here in the journal where everyone can see it, we can all keep track of it and wish each other happy birthday on our special days!

Here's the ones I know so far:

Wow, this is a pretty neat idea! My birthday's actually the same month as yours, nya ha. It's November the 13th!

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Thanks! Just let me know your name and I'll add it in! I'm Hajime, nice ta meetcha!

[Voice]

[havesomedeath]

Oh right, whoops! The name's Henry! Nice to meet you too, Hajime! The list sure is getting big, ha ha!

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Gotcha, Henry! I want the list to get even bigger! It'd be great to get all of us on it!

[Voice]

[havesomedeath]

Yeah, that'd be awesome! There's a lot of fun people here and I'd like to learn more about them! And birthdays are a pretty good way to start to get to know someone!

[Voice]

[collagehero]

And to cheer them up, since a lot of people are awwwwful grumpy here!

[Voice]

[havesomedeath]

Yeah, no kidding! I don't know what's up with some people, but they really need to lighten up already! I mean, it's not like it'd kill them to be a little positive!

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Right! If you can't stay positive, everything is just going to make you gloomier and gloomier! It takes more muscles to frown than to smile! Hmmm, I wonder if that's why Rin is such a grumpypants. Maybe he thinks it's a workout.

[Voice]

[havesomedeath]

He should stick to regular exercising, that's much healthier, nya ha! I mean, there's plenty of things to smile about, even in weird circumstances like this, right? If anything, keeping a positive attitude is even more important now than during normal times!

[Voice]

[collagehero]

That's what I think, too! It's not like there aren't plenty of things to smile about. The ocean is really pretty, adventure is exciting and there are so many new people to meet! My crew even found some treasure.

[Voice]

[havesomedeath]

Exactly! If you stay negative, you miss out on all that cool stuff!

Ooh, really? Sounds awesome! What kinda treasure? Like gold or something?

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Nope! No gold! We found clothes and wigs and Halloween decorations and some tools and an awesome ceramic kitty figurine!
