What are the birthday traditions on your home planets?

[ jyn hasn't celebrated a birthday in something like... fifteen years so to say she's out of practice would be a gross understatement. she tells herself this is cultural anthropology, her mother would be proud. TIME TO LEARN, time to attempt to live like a normal human being... ]

Some people liked it. Gave them a chance to show off all the people they knew and the money they had. Being invited to a party was a matter of social status.

Then again, some people are just social butterflies.

[realists]

That sounds horrible.

[ jyn hates rich people, unsurprisingly ]

[jolting]

It was. But if the parties are like the ones James had, then they aren't so bad.

[realists]

I suppose his party was alright.

[jolting]

Maybe I just liked it since he did it for me to meet all of you.

[realists]

Yeah

I don't like meeting people so I hate parties.

[ and yet jim's party to meet victor was alright so obviously victor himself is alright. ]

[jolting]

James is a special case, huh?

[realists]

Don't tell him that, it'll go to his big head.

[jolting]

Wouldn't want that.

Don't worry, I'll keep it between us.
