19th Combo - [Video]

[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?

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

And how does it feel, being one year older?

[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.

[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!

[cursed_mouse]

You don't..even read?

[soulsymmetrical]

Happy Birthday, Lloyd.

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

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

Happy birthday, man. Feels great, huh?

[ video ]

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Kid!

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

[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!

I know how to read, but if you mean for fun? No, not really. Fun is... You do things. Outside or with your hands or with friends, not sitting inside for hours.

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

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

[soulsymmetrical]

But is not going back to school really what you're most excited about?

[nothing.]

[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.]

[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]

[ video ]

[redcladidealist]

Well, that, and what it means to not go back to school. It means I'm free to go out and chase after my dreams and goals, and I get to make my own schedule for once.

[Good. B| ]

[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.

[redcladidealist]

[Huh? There was sarcasm?]

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

[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.

[Yuki nodded with the bit for fun. But he slightly smiled at the last bit.]

Do you have a garden then?

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

[Laughs] But not for too much longer!

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I should get a job...

[thinking about this for a minute before getting agitated]

But it's been so nice not having to do anything—I hate studying!! But maybe we wouldn't run out of food so quickly if Hanajima and I had an income...

[riflekid.livejournal.com]

[ 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.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...That's so scary.]

Happy birthday, Lloyd.

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

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Not exactly. I've grown some things in pots, though! We have pots all over the place in my house! Some of them are things me and my Dad use in our food, but some of them are just flowers.

What made you think I gardened?

[redcladidealist]

Ugh, I know what you mean about studying. I'll be happy if I never have to pick up a book to study again.

What kind of job do you think you'd be good at?
