Ophelia leaves and the place becomes a little quieter. I sip my tea and think about some things. I think about that meeting. It will actually be...later this week! I suppose I should pack and get some things ready.
"You and Cephrien should come to the meeting this week in London. I think...maybe by then we will know which design the Moderator picked. Discussing what to do about that could certainly be on the agenda. Anyway..I don't think we have much contact with anyone from Red Infinity." I say to Freakboy.

Annette looks at everyone. She has a mixture of emotions. "This party is for me?" She asks.
The initial feeling was shock. she didn't feel that people liked her well enough to throw her a party. The feeling that followed was anger. Birthday parties were a waste of time. Anyway, why should she celebrate getting older? She didn't know what to say. She just stood there, with a scowl, then a puzzled look, then a blank look...

"Happy birthday Annette!" Keitoleinen exclaims. He snaps his fingers and two men wheel a giant cake into the center of the room. Little does anyone know that the cake is filled with dinosaurs ready to jump out and frighten everyone.
"Who would like to cut the cake?" He asks. He holds up a somewhat dull looking knife and a plate, flashing it in front of the crowd...waiting for a volunteer to step up.

"Anyway Niilo, we were on our way back to Germany. Do you have a place here that we could maybe meet with you and some of your other...Enlightened friends.." Heikki asks him. "Someone might still be after us, so if you have some place to go...that might be good. We were stopped by a Manalist already."

"I'm glad you finally arrived, Annette. We've been waiting for you for some time. There is a whole stack of gifts for you. Maybe everyone should bring up their gifts so you can see what you received. At the end of the party, I will announce the winner of the monitoring system design contest." Ariel explains to everyone. He steps behind the cake to allow someone else to cut it.
"That cake certainly is big. We'll all have to have five pieces.." Ariel states after sizing up the cake.

"I've got some names here and there. An old friend of mine grew up with a lotta people who joined Red Infinity. Some courageous individuals," he said, recalling adventures with X back when the drug trade was the shit. So many memories... Heroin always made him nostalgic.

I get very excited when Annette finally shows up. I hate to be surprised, but love surprising others. Despite the less-than-thrilled look on her face I'm sure she's ecstatic... On the inside. Who wouldn't be? It's a party.
"Happy birthday Annette!"
I skip ahead of some people in order to be the first to present my... present. I hand her an envelope containing some Crest Mining stock certificates.
"I got you some stock in my company. I figured, what do I like? My company. So what would anyone else like? Why, my company, of course. You now own a small but significant piece of Crest Mining. Congradulations."

Linnea flashed a quick crooked smile when Ophelia eluded to Keito. The woman may think she might even have a clue what Keito was like under that smooth exterior, that tried to pick up women by being flashy.
"I know about chaotic," Linnea tried to make small talk and was failing miserably. "I hope you don't mind the couch, I just started renting our my spare room."
Feeling awkward, Linnea stood in the kitchen waiting for Ophelia's reply.

Will try his best not to laugh like an asshole. He knew that its rude, BUT Annette's facial expressions are pricelss.
"Hey, Keito!! You should let the birthday girl cut the cake first." he says to him.

"That's no problem. A couch is nice." Ophelia smiled taking off her poncho as she walked into the kitchen where Linnea was.
It was a cozy little home Linnea had Ophelia thought to herself. As much as she liked her own shop, she didn't have much of a living space for herself. Just the stuffy dark attic above her shop. She had a desk and a chair, a lamp, and a roll out mattress for furniture. But she had to sell just about everything else she owned when she moved her shop to its current location. Any personal belongings like books and clothes that she still owned were stacked in piles around the attic or hidden under floorboards.
"So.. Uh.. Obviously I sell flowers. What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking." she said quickly filling the silence before it became uncomfortable.

"How thoughtful. That's an excellent gift." Annette replies to Calithin. She wanders up to Keitoleinen and takes the knife. "That's right, I will cut my own cake." She says with determination.
She walks up to the cake, knife clutched tightly, and starts to dig into the cake...but, she pauses.
"Wait, I suppose I should blow out the candles first ...and then..there's that song ..."
She takes a step back and waits for people to start singing..

"Speaking of people...what happened to...Cephrien?" I say looking around. He must have left without me noticing.
"Oh...and by the way, does Red Infinity have a leader or a central office?"

"I'm an artist...a painter mostly," Linnea stumbled over her words.
Not sure why she was such a blunder tonight but she felt awkward, more then her usual shyness. Linnea couldn't look at Ophelia, she felt like this woman already knew too much about her since she brought up Keito. Almost like this woman knew all her dirty secrets. She also felt bad about snapping at Ophelia when she opened the door.
Linnea wanted very badly to say something but everything that she said in her mind first sounded stupid and she didn't want to worsen Ophelia's opinion of her.

I step closer to Annette and start singing, hoping that the others will join. It seems that Annette is getting into the party more than I imagined that she would.
"Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, Annette Rosenthal...." I sing.
