[Any and all specifics here tend to be weird.]

Back home I'm a rear admiral.

Are you familiar with naval ranking systems?

[bratherine]

( She is not but she is familiar enough with phones to search them up. )

[lucky_e]

I have been for essentially my entire life.

[Or... well, her whole life anyway. But hey, details!]

So, what is it that you do on your birthday?

[bratherine]

( Wait wait. )

like a family thing?

( Army brat kind of life? )

whatever i feel like doing

( Well. This is the first year that's actually been true. )

[lucky_e]

[Waits!]

That's one way to put it. Both of my sisters were the same.

[More like made for it, and only it. At least in her mind.]

It is your big day, so you should do whatever you'd like to. What is it you were feeling like doing?

[bratherine]

( She expects that, if she has to continue down the path she's trying to escape from, she'll meet people who say similar things. )

kill time with people and spend money?

[lucky_e]

A regular birthday party then.
