[Tinya's dressed in her (almost) best, bare feet peeking out from the edge of the gown while she's sitting against the stained glass in her breakfast nook. Tinya looks eager, yet somehow apprehensive. her batkitten, Carmilla, is perched on her shoulder clearly ready to take on all who might disrespect her mommy]

All right, everyone in Trench! Awfully gloomy out there, don't you think? In situations like this, we can either curse the darkness or light a candle. Nineteen of them,, to be exact.

This is the fourth anniversary of me being taken from my home! It happens to coincide with my nineteenth birthday, so I guess the cosmos has a cruel sense of humor.

However! You can make it far better than that. You see, I'm having a birthday party for myself at the Racoon Room and I'd love to see you there! There will be music and dancing and hors d'oeuvres and haute couture!

Your presents aren't required, but your presence is on April 21st! [and she blows a kiss at the Omni]d

((OOC: the log will go up on April 21st in the evening!))

[ it's a dark and — well it's just a dark month and ahiru never really functions well in the dark. she gets spooked easily which is sort of what happens here. a sequence of events, by a duck.

1. she enters the kitchen. the lights are off and she bumps into various furniture. ]

Ow ow ow ow —

[ 2. her hand brushes against a coat hanging on top of a chair. in her mind, she imagines a snake.

3. She panics and lets out a loud: ]

Quack!

[ 4. ahiru ends up turning into a duck on screen. gasp! not that she has realized she's being recorded.

5. she quickly waddles off and there's the sound of water and she comes back into the kitchen with a relief. ]

— Phew that was clo . . . ooooose, O-Odette! Were you displaying this the whole time?! A-Ah!!

[ ahiru immediately runs in front of the feed, waving her hands frantically. ]

You didn't see that! There's nothing to see! It was . . . uh, uh, a MYSTERY DUCK that broke into the house but it's gone now!

[ alas, ahiru has been well and truly outed as . . . a duck. ]
