{Fourteen (42)} &diams A gift to the city, the veins of which have broken me down

[burnt_orangesky]

I suppose it is [pen taps] somewhat appropriate that my birthday be marked by a resurgence in these troublesome things; I did manage to evade being struck by rubber balls today, though it was a near thing once or twice.

Thank you for the cake, Composer, it was quite good.

Got any plans to celebrate?

[Not that being stuck here this long is any reason to celebrate--but it could be a needed distraction.]

[burnt_orangesky]

Not at this time, unless you had a suggestion?

[live_ringer]

If it was me, I'd probably celebrate with drinking, but the traditional methods seem to call for cake. Genius seems set on that option, too.

Maybe you can get a rum cake and cover all the bases.

It's your WHAT?! Birthday?!?!?! I didn't know that! You didn't tell me! No fair!! I demand cake!

[burnt_orangesky]

My birthday in Edensphere. I have been here for one year today.

/sigh [1/?]

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!

What am I supposed to do now?!

Happy birthday!

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you, Nova.

[Since man-twin demands cake, Fred will find one from Derrick on her doorstep, with a simple hand-written card on top reading "Happy Birthday", and a drawing of a purple octopus. ♥ Yes, Genius, he saved some for you.]

[fuck yes cake! Genius will have to find Fred something, but it'll suck and totally be inappropriate. I just need to think of something.






....You asses better not say whip cream or a collar or Imma gonna hurt you]

[burnt_orangesky]

[She'll be happy to get it! And it will probably be look much better than Composer's cake >_>]

[ghost_of_00]

I will get you an umbrella.

Do you want a gift?

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you.

Only if you wish to give me one.

[books-and-toads.livejournal.com]

It's your birthday? Well then, happy birthday!

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you. Perhaps I shall stop by the bookstore later, and buy myself a present. Have you any good mysteries in your inventory?

[spandexisyouth]

It is your birthday? Happy birthday! What would you like?

[burnt_orangesky]

If you would like to give me a present, Youth, I shall not refuse it--but I believe the tradition is I am not allowed to know what it is in advance.

Happy birthday.

[And somehow a tiny bouquet of autumn flowers will come for her today.]

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you, Juliet. [She'll put them in a vase.]

[darcyredux.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[So proud of himself.]

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, it was quite good. [She thinks he's sweet.]

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

[ There will be a tiny amigurumi likeness of Fred found in her room sometime tomorrow with a little note that has Qĭ's signature and a little ♥ ]

[burnt_orangesky]

[She will kind of o.0 at it in private, but put it on a dresser or something, and thank Qi the next time she sees her.]

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ah congrats. A whole year, and only 2-3 deaths.

[burnt_orangesky]

[There is absolutely nothing she can say to that that won't make it worse.]

...I don't suppose you wish to give me a present as well?
