19th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[There's a huge grin on Lloyd's face, the kind of grin you only give when you're pleased and excited and everything is right in the world, or when something amazing is happening.]

Hey, everyone! Guess who's officially an adult today!

[That's right, it's his birthday - or the one that he and Dirk celebrate. The only one he's ever known, so the only one that counts as far as he's concerned.]

Oh, yeah, by the way, Kanaya, I finished that necklace for you! When do you wanna meet up?

[He... hasn't realized yet that Kanaya is gone. Late with your gifts again, Lloyd. Always late. :/ ]

But man, I've been looking forward to this birthday so much! Now that I'm eighteen, I don't have to go back to school!

..you won't be attending University or anything?

[redcladidealist]

[He doesn't even want to finish high school if he can help it.]

Nah. Universities are for people a lot smarter than me and who like studying. That's not to say I'm stupid, but I'm just not interested in all those books.

And how does it feel, being one year older?

[redcladidealist]

It feels great! I mean, physically, I don't feel any different, but knowing I'm an adult now and can do anything I want is great!

Happy Birthday, Lloyd.

[will not comment that he had no idea that he was that old. noooope.]

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Kid!

[Well, Dirk was probably off by a few months. H-hey, what's that supposed to mean?!]

[couldnotfly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, definitely remembering this date for future occasions. for now, however...]

Happy birthday, man. Feels great, huh?

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Definitely. Now I can do all sorts of things that only adults get to do, like get a job and quit school and...

Uh...

Well, other things!

Thanks, Zack!

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!! Just play, sleep, and eat, and that's all there is to it!

[redcladidealist]

Thanks! [Lloyd grins.] Yeah, you can definitely count on that. I'm going to do that for at least a week before I start thinking about getting a job.

[popstar]

[Rise's yet to fully recover from a certain someone's departure but she's trying to cope and wouldn't want to be sad on Lloyd's birthday like that.]

Sounds like you've got your priorities set, huh? [Heavily toned sarcasm goes here.]

[redcladidealist]

[Huh? There was sarcasm?]

Yup! No more wasting time on history papers or sitting through boring lectures!

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! Look at you, Lloyd. That's really something. [And younger!Dino's voice cracks when he laughs and when he's talking, but after several days of this kind of thing, he's gotten used to it]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah!

[[Lloyd looks at Dino, then suddenly cracks up.]

Man, this is awesome! It's like we switched places, Dino! Only, you know, I wasn't quite that young.

[ is it time to be the bearer of bad news oh yes it is ]

Oh... hi there, Lloyd! I'm Jade- a friend of Kanaya's, but I don't think we've met. Happy birthday!

But... um... I guess you don't know what happened to her.

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Jade! No, I don't think we've talked before, but it's nice to meet you anyway!

[The cheerful expression falls off his face, melting into one of concern.]

Happened? What do you mean? What happened to her?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...That's so scary.]

Happy birthday, Lloyd.

Just because you're an adult, doesn't mean you won't learn.

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Sheena!

Hey, I never said that. I'm still learning new things all the time. But I won't be stuck in a boring classroom anymore. I'd rather learn things firsthand.

Happy Birthday. Maybe you'll get smarter this year.

[redcladidealist]

Tha- Hey, wait. I'm smart where it counts!

[foreversorryorz.livejournal.com]

Uh, happy birthday.

[Wondering a bit how birthday's even work in this place though]

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Emil.

[Same way they work anywhere else?]

Wow, I haven't seen you in a while. How've you been?

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ WOW OLD.

But that's okay-- a special person gets a special reply: ]

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Lloyd-- happy birthday to you~

[redcladidealist]

[Aww, now Lloyd really does feel special.]

That was nice. Thanks, Colette!

You know, I don't think I ever sang happy birthday to you.

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

Oh~ So just because you're 18 now, you think you're an adult?

[redcladidealist]

Well, yeah. Isn't that the definition of being an adult?

[damnwashtubs.livejournal.com]

...Hmph.

Age doesn't make the man, Lloyd... [ But he's smiling behind that STERN FATHERLY LOOK, ok? ]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd smiles back, making no such effort to hide the expression on his face.]

I know, I know. I've pretty much been an adult for months now. But now it's official, Kratos!

[Yup, like all teenagers, he has an inflated sense of his own maturity.]

Aren't you going to wish me happy birthday?
