[ FILTERED FROM RAPUNZEL! Admittedly easy to hack (maybe 10% locked) but it's Rapunzel so. ]

[ Greetings, Luceti. Ikki's as loud as ever. ] HEY, ART CLUB. This is an important message, so listen up! ...And everyone else, too, if you know Rapunzel! This is a S - E - C - R - E - T, so no telling her anything that's mentioned in here, or else! [ This is said with a lot of drama, although the faux-serious expression dissolves into giggles easily enough. ]

So! Rapunzel's birthday is on the 5th! And as all the art club members know, our meeting is normally on the second Sunday of each month, but...we're having it on the 3rd! BUT, you can't tell Rapunzel! And here's why!

Rapunzel told my grandpa a story about lanterns. She said that in her world, every year on her birthday, lots and lots of paper lanterns were released into the sky - and that she had always wanted to see that in person. So, we though maybe we could try to make that happen! And we need your help to do that! We're gonna need people to keep her ABSOLUTELY busy and away from the school on the 3rd, so she doesn't catch on, and then people to keep her busy when we set up for the 5th, and of course we need people to help us make lanterns!! Even if everyone only makes one, that'd still be lots! If you come on the 3rd - same place as always! - we'll show you how to make lanterns, and we'll make lots. But you can make them on your own, too, if you know how!

The plan is to set 'em off on the night of her birthday, 'cause they'll have little flames in 'em and they're going to be super pretty, like tooooooons of little stars so it'll make it like we're all in the sky!!! And hopefully she'll like it a lot!! No one can say ANYTHING until we release them, though. We're going to tell her right off that there's a party on the 5th, but the lanterns are secret!! Okay?? We're going to have a signal for when and EVERYTHING.

And if you TELL, I'll set GRANDPA on you, so there.

Now who wants to help out?

Even in the magic book she is long and loud. [Oh, sorry, could you hear that?]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Count me in, of course.

[savedtheworld]

[And Aang steps forward to congratulate her following the message, with fake hair and mustache in full effect.]

Great job, granddaughter! You sure told those whippersnappers!

[Rapunzel's birthday was coming up? Drat he must have missed that. This is what he gets for missing art club meetings and generally napping.]

Count me in, Ikki. I can help keep Rapunzel away all day.

[voice]

[pendantry]

Oh. ...The art club is making them.

[ action ] because I can, what

[markofthebrave]

[So sometime after seeing the announcement (I'll set GRANDPA on you, ha), Katara goes to see Ikki. She finds her granddaughter while she's still answering folks in the journal.]

Getting plenty of volunteers?

[happyends]

I'll come help out for sure! [ she's already discussed this, after all.. ] I'll try to make as many as I can, promise..!

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

Lanterns, huh? I've never made those, but I would love to learn and help make as many as I can.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Wait, they fly without using any kind of magic or engines or anything? How does that work?

[She should probably know this already. When Rapunzel's birthday was. That it had been so close to the time they had both arrived in Luceti just about a year ago now. But she never claimed to be a good friend. Not to Rapunzel, not to anybody.

Still, the girl had been one of the very first people she had met here. Had been there for her despite Katniss never nearly being there in return. With the talk at the hot springs still fresh on her mind, she wants to do something. But she's not so good with anything artistic. That's always been Peeta's thing.]

Do you still need someone to keep her distracted?

[risingwinds]

Well, if you need an extra push in getting those lanterns up, I could always try using a bit of Zero Gravity!

Heck, I'm willing lend a hand in whatever way possible. Rapunzel deserves a birthday to remember, if you ask me.

[video] laaaaaate

[kickingcatcher]

[Ikki, you're as precious as ever.] I'm not exactly the best at arts, but I'd love to help, Ikki. It sounds like a really beautiful idea, too.

[sugarglitch]

"Grandpa"? [Pbbfffttttt.] I ain't scared of no old man! What do I get if I keep it a secret, Ikki!

[She's totes keeping it a secret don't worry.]

[Video]

[lostinmyway]

[Okay, this? This is all the pings ever for Grune.]

Oh, my, what a wonderful idea, Ikki! Rapunzel is going to be so happy!

[voice]

[handing]

That sounds really amazing, Ikki. I'd love to help if you're still looking for volunteers. [Especially since Rapunzel and Ikki both are such sweet girls, and Pepper knows the value of having a great birthday.]

[video]

[seleniahymn]

If you need help with keeping her attention directed away from the school I would be willing to help her. Or even if it's making the lanterns.

[Rapunzel was such a good person after all, and she had promised to celebrate her birthday with her.]
