Welcome to the Birthday Skeleton!

This is where you can receive small presents on the morning of your birthday, even if you haven't told anyone else what day that is.

Those with unknown birthdays will receive birthday skeleton visits on January 2nd.

Please list your character's birthday below, and your character will receive a birthday skeleton visit in the early hours of that morn! So long as it's a reasonable request - no nuclear bombs or jet planes or anything big like that - you may get exactly what you wish for!

Or you may get a smaller alternative. To fulfill the contract. What's the contract? No one knows.

[When Natori finally gets to rest in a normal bed...a voice drifts up.]

[You really just had to wait for him to finally get to lie down, huh Skeleton-san. Reluctantly, he drags his head off the couch to look down at the floor.]

You couldn't have come sooner? There was a lot I could have used this morning.

[He pushes himself up further to something resembling a sitting position, then casts a pointed look at the protective wards he hung around the house.]

So did the water ruin those too or did you just manage to get in regardless?

[upcyclingmod]

[Skeleton just is hangin out there, with a party hat on.

Sup.]

[paperpusher]

[That is indeed a skeleton wearing a party hat, just like Paige described.]

Ah, I see. [To both of those things. Natori crosses his legs and rests his forearms on his thighs; he's ready to be here a while if he has to.] I want my shiki.

[upcyclingmod]

[The pause that comes from the skeleton is a thoughtful one, with a slight tilt of its head. It's kind of funny...in a weird way.]

[Good try tho.]

[paperpusher]

[Natori... tilts his head at the same angle, just in the opposite direction. Because he's a dick.]

But having my shiki will help me uphold my end of the contract. [His frenemy told him what you said, Skeleton-san!!!]

[upcyclingmod]

[Oh Natori.]

[Well then.]

[paperpusher]

No? They would have been a great help in keeping me alive in the past few days. [not that he... died in the end, but still.] It will help me uphold my contract with my shiki, then. That predates our contract. [Skeleton-san.]

[upcyclingmod]

[There's a pause. And:]

They're not people, Skeleton-san! [he says chidingly, and he is definitely being sassy.] They're ayakashi. And they have great material wealth in my heart.

[...Natori is getting scolded???]

[paperpusher]

[Yeah, that's fair. Listen, if he had his shiki he could get scolded by spirits all the time, man.]

But that's all that I desire.

[upcyclingmod]

[....Natori why are you like this. Skeleton looks...disgruntled.]

[The skeleton...sinks into the floor.

And Natori will feel something warm in his arms. Something with a familiar scent.

It is...Hirragi.

As a body pillow.]

[paperpusher]

[What the actual fuck.]

Hey! [he yells as if the skeleton can hear him, sorry roommates.] The next time I see you, I'm going to exorcise you!
