TEXT | UN: Laura


It's going to be my birthday soon. I picked one a few months ago, but I don't know how it works when it's time to celebrate them. I have left everyone 'invitations' on their doors, though.

[And true to the text's word, if people wander out of their cabin or approach it, they'll find a piece of paper taped to the front:]




The letter says the following: I picked May 23rd for my birthday, so I am turning 12 on Friday. I would like to have a party at 3:00 pm around the campfire. I am not sure what people do at birthday parties, but maybe we can sit and eat cake. I like horses, nail polish, breakfasts, stuffed animals, soft-feeling things, books, drawing supplies, snacks, and monster energy drinks. I would like to try make-up things. Like eye shadows. (If someone knows how to bake cakes, I would like to learn.) Gracias, Laura

New? No. I just keep to myself, mostly. My name's Vax.

[ But a kid talking about a birthday party is a little too adorable for him to ignore. ]

[ She's the birthday girl, so she's allowed. ]

I have a lot of friends. At home.

[ Sad on the inside? Oof. Getting called out by a kid. ]

Maybe I'll make some friends at your party.

[ Just making random friends is kind of awkward, though. He's really better at lurking in dark corners unless he's around the ones who already know him. ]

[ She's a nice kid, and he knows she means well, as most kids do. Sure, Vax has spoken to people, but how many know him well enough to use the word 'friend'? It's not one he tosses around casually. ]

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like you're an expert at this.

Why would they get hurt?

[ Maybe he shouldn't ask over a text, but he's not sure when he would otherwise. ]
