[VIDEO 3/28] It's my birthday, I can meme if I want to.

[destiny_key]

[The video opens up in a living room, on a couch, with a smiling Sora taking up the majority of the frame. Various murmuring can be heard in the background, along with an occasional dog whining from an adjoining room. Sora's smile widens upon seeing his phone is recording, and then the video shakes a bit as he adjusts the screen to not be an extreme closeup of his nose.]

Hey, everyone! I hope you're having a great day! I hope so, 'cause it's my birthday, haha. And it's Shiori's birthday, too! Hey, c'mere and be in the video-

[The camera shakes again as Sora leans over and tries to drag someone into the frame. They aren't having it, and they shove Sora off with an annoyed 'Get off me, ugh!'. Sora just laughs and scoots back over.]

Anyway, we're having a party at our house, if anyone wants to come! It's an open invitation, I guess, but it's mostly just gonna be cake and ice cream and stuff. Minako's making a bunch of food, too. We're eighteen now, so that's kind of a big deal, 'cause that means were grown ups now! Right, Shiori?

[Another shift in the video, and the frame moves sideways to where Shiori is sitting at the other end of the couch, looking at his phone. He looks up at Sora when his name is called, raises an eyebrow, then goes back to what he was doing. Sora laughs and and pulls the camera back to him again.]

So, like, the party's gonna be in a few hours, so I hope to see some of you! Like, don't feel obligated or anything, but it'd be really cool to have a big, fun party with all our friends. So, um, bye!

[He waves to the camera, then the video ends. Yes, he's always that awkward.]

[ooc: A log for the party will be going up on April 2nd and backdated to March 28th, so look out for that!]

I'm in need of advise.

I've had a memory of someone here in the city, who I believe is also on Retrospec, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Mostly because I don't really know them... at least not in this lifetime. We only met once and the circumstances were, to put it mildly, pretty odd.

Now I'm assuming (and please don't make the joke, it's one of my father's favorites and it gets old real fast) that I'm not the first person this has happened to, and so I was hoping someone here might have some useful advise for me.

I don't know if I can ever be mad at Retrospec again, since I woke up this morning able to see clearly for the first time in my life. Looking through my glasses with perfect vision makes me realize how bad my eyes really are. Or were? Being nearly blind is the bane of my existence, so this is like the single best thing that could ever happen. The fake glasses I got a few weeks ago suddenly make so much sense!

But anyway, a lot of us have had appearance changes, right? I got kind of curious about everyone else, like if you've totally turned into your memory self or if you haven't changed at all, or how you're dealing with the changes. I look pretty much the same, but I've heard some people remember being super different.

That, and... I've been trying to keep the tattoos I got from Retrospec a secret from everyone, but my Mom walked in on me changing clothes the other day and didn't seem to notice at all. But I've heard that's different for everyone too! (Don't tell anyone outside the app though, okay? Help me protect my low-key school life, I'm begging you)

Sorry for writing a whole bunch!
