[ Storm returns from her week-and-a-half long mission midday on the 12th. Well, she hadn't known it was the 12th when she came back, just that she'd been gone a while. The first thing she'd done when she got back was return to the X-House, but since Rogue had claimed dibs on the only bath in House 16, Ororo decided to indulge herself in an outdoor shower. She needed to find a relatively secluded place for that, so quickly she decides to detour to somewhere high above the flatlands beyond the forests where (hopefully...!) she wouldn't be disturbing anyone.
It'd been a while since she had done such a thing, bathing in rainclouds of her own making, and the mission had been long and tedious despite having Rogue by her side for much of the fighting... So she uses up most of the afternoon for herself and takes the scenic route home.
It's only after she returned to the X-House refreshed and energized that she thought to check the journals and realize belatedly that it was the 12th of January, today. That... gives her pause.
So, thirty years old. Strange; most women gave that number quite a bit of significance. It was supposed to be a milestone (or at least, that's what her sister told her) where by now she should be thinking about whether or not she was ever going to get married, have children or what kind of career she was supposed to focus on. Food for thought, she figured.
In the end, she decides to celebrate it with little fanfare. Evening finds her stopping by Good Spirits for a drink or two, dressed with a little more care than she would have taken on a regular day. She's warm and friendly for the most part, even if towards the end of the night she seems more introspective than normal. Feel free to approach...! ]

[You don't want to play gay-chicken with her, Ororo.]
I'll show you. It'll be fun.
[Action]
I'm sure it will be. It would be nice, to try something new.

[Saori starts off, floating rather lazily so that Ororo can keep up.]
I haven't seen you in a while, have you been well?
[Action]
We haven't seen each other because I have not been in Luceti for some time. [She gives Saori a wry smile.] My new year's resolution was to be a little more open-minded about the missions some people have busied themselves with.
[Action]
Ah. I...have yet to bother. I suppose I should look into them, but there's little I want or need.
[Action]
Neither do I, to be honest. Well, other than information, anyway. There are people out there, Saori. And people talk about things that our captors would not tell us under normal circumstances.
[Action]
I did not know that. Did you learn anything interesting?
