[Today, Vash can be found most anywhere, except his place. He’s avoiding CH4 for some reason right now. He’ll be leaving at the crack of dawn and staying out until very late at night. He also doesn’t stop to visit the bakery. The item shop and grocery store are fair game, and so is the bar. He’ll be bopping around until he starts to feel restless and move on, but he has a very important announcement to make.]

[Filtered from Legato and Yuber//100% Unhackable]

Hey, everyone! It was Naoki’s birthday last week. Not a fun week for a birthday, so we need a party to celebrate it the right way. If you’re a friend of Naoki, seen him on the street, or just want to meet him? You’re invited! How about… two days from now! On the ninth in house number thirty one! There’s not too many people living around there so we can be loud without upsetting anyone! [Comment spam log to come in a couple days~]

Oh… Sanji, you can make the cake, right?

[A bit later, Vash will be at the flower shop and again notice that Flonne isn’t there.]

Has anyone heard from Flonne in a while? I haven’t seen her around the flower shop at all lately.

[…ahah, yeah. Vash just isn’t going to mention that post of Legato’s.]

[Edited after being given the idea] Hey! Brook! Luka! Do you think you two could help with the music!?

Oh you know... it's a long ways away, it might slip your mind.

That is very unlikely. Though it is true I cannot recall things such as the day I was made what I am today, the weeks following are very clear to me, and that was well over a century ago.

My memory is quite good.

Ah.... hahaha... great... [He hasn't actually celebrated his birthday in over a hundred years.]

[There's a first time for everything, Vash!]

I suppose this means there shall be a celebration of sorts on that day. Although, I have never truly celebrated anything, so I would not know what to expect. What is it you did for it last year?

Ah... actually, I uh... don't usually do anything for my birthday.

Let's do that.

[This face, Vash.]

And yet it was you who said with such sincerity that the day of one's birth is a day of great importance. Do you not believe your own birthday should fall under that category?

[And he's going to add a filter.]

Well, not really.

[She doesn't notice the filter, but this makes one thing she did notice about Vash a little clearer. His soul had been so short for one so full of power.]

Is there a reason for thinking this way?

Ah, well... I guess, but it's not important. Okay? [Translation - I don't really want to talk about it.]

[Unfortunately, reading between the lines isn't a strong point of Cheyenne's. She does, however, wonder why he is talking his way around the question so much.]

You say it is not important now, and yet before... hm. I suppose I just don't understand.

There's just... too many sad memories and thoughts that go with my birthday. [Like how it's another year he's failed to take care of Knives. Another year he'll outlive everyone he cares about. Another year he has to wonder if people will start to question why he doesn't seem to age at all. Another year without Rem. Not to mention, on a rare occasion, he sometimes wonder how much happier humans might have been if he and Knives had never been born.]

...that sounds like the sort of thing that would make a creature less inclined to look forward to such a day.

Would you prefer, then, that I do forget it?

Well, you don't have to forget, I guess, I just don't do much for it.

I will keep that in mind, then.

[But enough of your sad stuff.] You'll have to let me know what do you pick for your birthday though, so we can be sure to start it off right.

Of course.

I suppose if I thought about it long enough, I would be able to pinpoint a day closest to the one when I first became capable of feeling. Considering that day was also the day I began addressing myself as Cheyenne, it would be an appropriate substitute for my true date of birth.

That seems like a good day to pick to me!

I imagine it will take some time to deduce. It is difficult to count backwards to a date that was nearly a hundred years ago.

[Also kind of impossible given the calender discrepancies, but she'll pick a date eventually!]

A-hahaha, of course, I don't expect it tomorrow or anything.

Unless the day in question happened to be tomorrow, in which case, learning of it the day after would be rather pointless.

Well, we could always have a belated birthday party!

I suppose, but if the date is one I am choosing, for what reason would there be to intentionally choose a day that would not be convenient?

...or perhaps I am merely over-thinking things.

Well, sometimes an important date aren't always at the most convenient times.

True. Such is the case with the friend you mentioned, whose birthday was during that experiment, yes?
