So does your birthday still count if you technically skipped four months?
[This is an important question being posed over your journals, Luceti. Because if it does count, Zatanna's fifteen today. Not that she's been advertising it a lot. Holidays have been kind of hard on her since Halloween, and today really isn't an exception. It's the first birthday she's spent without her father, and in the superhero business? That's saying something.
She tries not to let it get her down, though--or at least, not to show that it is. Maybe if someone catches her when she's alone, they'll see hints of it. Staring off into space with a frown at some reminder. There's bound to be plenty, since she's raiding the library for books on magic and the item shop for more stage friendly props. The training she does daily at the battle dome (with her birthday being no exception) isn't the only thing she should keep up with.
So at some point during the afternoon, she'll try to find bored people in the plaza, cards in hand. It'll be better than just the "think of your card and I'll name it" bit, promise. Sometimes she sticks to sleight of hand, while others she may employ a backwards chant. Maybe it's not all that impressive in a place where anyone can learn magic, but she doesn't want those skills to deteriorate. It's the one connection she's got to her father, the person who taught her what she knows.
Eventually, she'll head back to Community House 5 when she starts thinking about dinner.]

Re: private;
Doesn’t everyone? Especially on their birthday. Sweets are pretty mandatory then.
Re: private;
Birthday cakes, at least.
I was just making sure for-- uh, ya know, your friends.
[And not her little delivery gift that will be some cookies that spell her name.]
Re: private;
Sure. For my friends. [Yeah, Zatanna’s starting to see through this, especially since Kushina doesn’t know any of her friends.] I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.
Re: private;
She'll get a nervous laugh, obviously seeing she's been found out so she rubs the back of her head.]
Well, um, they're nice. Don't want to make a cake if the birthday girl isn't going to have a slice.
[And that's clear because they're throwing a party. She doesn't need to know them to come up with that too.]
Re: private;
[Turns out Kushina knows Zatanna's friends pretty well. but she's still not expecting it, so she grins.]
Well, if a cake were to show up, I'd definitely make sure to have a piece. Especially if someone went to all the trouble of making it for me and my friends.
