Event Post! - Birthdays and Height Charts

[sketchthefuture]

*[Backdated to the 3rd of September]

The 3rd is Tomoko's 6th birthday and both Tomoko and Ruka can be seen outside Ruka's apartment. On the wall beside the door is what seems to be a height chart that they have pinned up, which Tomoko is stood with her back against while Ruka is marking out her height. Afterwards, Tomoko steps away and beams at the chart with a huge childish smile!

"I've grown a lot, haven't I!"

Ruka laughs a little and nods at her. "You have, Tomoko-chan!" Ruka then looks at the chart herself. "Seems I have a bit too."

On closer inspection, the chart has been marked with the heights of both Tomoko and Ruka... and occasionally Rua when Ruka forced her brother to be measured on it, all at certain ages. Tomoko's is from 4 and a half to 6 years and Ruka and Rua from 12 to 13.

This event is open for interaction with Tomoko and/or Ruka. If you wish to give Tomoko a birthday present, then feel free to do so in this event!*

::Erland walks through Sakana's front gate, holding a package that is rather obviously a present. He looks around to see who might be there... particularly for Sayuri or Tomoko.::

*Tomoko is there and her eyes light up when she sees Erland walk through the gate with a present. She runs straight over to him!*

Erlaaand!! Hi!

::Erland turns with his name called, smiling.::

Ah, hi there, Tomoko. Feeling a bit older today, hmm?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Yeah!! I'm six today!!

*You can see her eyeing the present in his hands*

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Why, you'll be a big girl before I know it, won't you?

::Erland shifts the present to his side, noticing it's effect on her attention.::

*Her attention shifts a little from the present, to him*

Yeah! I'm gonna be going to big kids school in October! It's gonna be fun!!

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Haha. I bet you're excited to make all sorts of new friends.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

I really really am!!

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Haha. Well, I hope you have fun.

::Erland pauses for a moment.::

...ah, I suppose I should deliver this package, shouldn't I?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

*Tomoko's eyes light up again at the sight of the package, as she looks curiously at it.*

Is that for me?

::Erland brings it out from under his arm and looks at it too.::

Oh, this? Why would you think that?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

...because it looks like a present!

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Well now, you wouldn't want this... I should probably find someone else who'd like it.

::Erland grins in a teasing manner.::

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

But, but, why...?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

::Gah, got me by the heartstrings.::

I'm just teasing, Tomoko. It's all yours.

::Erland holds it out to her.::

Happy Birthday.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

YAAAY! Thank you Erlaaaand!!

*With that she takes the present and opens it!*

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

::She doesn't waste any time, does she?::

::In any case, inside the box is a Skitty plushie, about the size of a normal teddy bear.::

I hope you like it... I didn't really know what to get.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

*Her eyes light up as she takes it out of the box and holds it!*

It's a Skitty!! It's so cute!!
Thank you Erland!!

*And you get a big hug from her!*
