Birthday

Birthday Spankings are not actually a new concept, being performed by people in the real world as well as in the rejuve universe but in Lurking Dragon's Melody Stories the author steps up the punishment and sets a convention of spanking that is seen frequently through the stories. Additionally he introduces the idea for of Welcome Home spankings, intended as a variation of the theme.

Welcome Home Spanking
The moment a penny is rejuved and brought home from the centre the spankings usually begin. As the day a penny is rejuved is essentially their first birthday the guidelines aren't that different to birthday spankings. Typically each parent will give twice the child's age, once with a hand spanking, once with a helper paddle and once with a hairbrush.

There are exceptions though. Like with a birthday spanking spankings are encouraged to be shared around. On a large number of occasions new pennies will have guests, neighbours and other children drop around and each of them is typically allowed to give the penny twice their age in hand spankings. This means that in average pennies recieve as much as 150 swats on their first day.

Birthdays
Actual birthdays are much the same. The main difference between a welcome home and a birthday is that a birthday is actually a celebration. Children who are school age are typically presented in front of the class with the teacher delivering the child's age in paddle spanks and each of the classmates delivering the age in hand spankings.

Once they get home they get to have a party, recieving gifts, having cake and good food and partying. However as part of the party environment 'spanking Games' are usually played where the birthday individual will be punished by his or her guests in accordance to who won. Details of known birthday games will be listed in Games and Amusements.

Typical spanking count - enough to raise blisters without needing a severe implement.
