Since timing was never an old man's best skill, I've been informed
Only a day before mind you
That Miller's birthday is tomorrow

We need to surprise the hell out of him!!
Now I've got the party organization handled
But who here can whip up a cake?
Because I sure can't

I figure we can just take over a portion of the mess hall
Let me know who is coming so I've got enough cake
And you all better bring presents!

I'll need a distraction team too
Got to keep Miller occupied until the party so he doesn't know what's up
Anyone want to volunteer?

[ventifact]

why do you want to surprise someone for their birthday?

[sidecars]

[ Uhhhhhhhhhhh.......... That is a good question, ma'am. What the hell is he supposed to say to explain it? ]

Because it's fun!


[ Yeah, that's all he's got, sorry. ]

[ventifact]

in my experience surprises are hardly ever fun

[sidecars]

Jeez you must have a lot of terrible surprises then
They CAN be fun!
A rush of adrenaline and the shock of seeing all your friends together celebrating you
That makes it a pretty good surprise

[ersatzeverything]

Oh, I am totally on distraction team.

[sidecars]

I knew I could count on you, pal!
Do whatever you need to do until the time is right
Just don't injure or infuriate him
That's the only rule

[ersatzeverything]

Can I irritate him slightly?

Not that I'm planning to, but sometimes it happens.

[sidecars]

You know
I think that's a good idea
We don't want him getting suspicious and slightly irritating is your main attribute
He might catch on to us if you're too nice

[saveyourserpent]

Didn't know he even had a birthday.

[Is it a faux pas to go to the birthday party of someone you'd had killed and then impersonated, even if you haven't done it yet where he comes from?]

I can be on eat cake team.

And distraction if necessary, I suppose.

[sidecars]

I know!
It's like he's a real human being or something
Weird, right?

[ That's called sarcasm, white snek. ]

You can definitely be on team cake eating!
That's totally a team
And one I will also take part in

[saveyourserpent]

Who would've even guessed?

[Obviously he'd been joking. Obviously.

And maybe he doesn't exactly know when his own birthday is so he doesn't think about them much to start with but still.]

Alright then cake team it is. I'm bloody good at this, too, don't worry.

[sidecars]

Not the people who deal with him

[ HA! Just kiddin', Miller. We love you! Or... Bucky does, Eli maybe not so much. ]

Oh you better be!
There's a cake stuffing quota you have to reach
And so help you if you don't!

I can bake provided we have the ingredients and I'm compensated for my time.

[sidecars]

Aww what
Someone's appreciation and joy isn't compensation enough?
You frigid bitch you

[smoothaf]

Maybe if you were curvier.

[sidecars]

Excuse you
Don't dismiss my rear end before you've taken a gander

A birthday party for someone special! I'd like to do something nice for him.

Can I help with decorations? Or preparing snacks?

[She's just a kid so there isn't a whole lot she can do.]

[sidecars]

Now that would be great
I could use the help!

What's your name?

[reseal]

My name's Sakura Kinomoto and I'm twelve years old!! It's nice to meet you!

What's your name?

[cardboard_boss]

I can create a decent enough distraction.

[Being one of his close friends, it would be easy, right?]

[sidecars]

I suggest terrorizing him with a cardboard box if you've got one

[ Bucky'd pay money to watch that. ]

[cardboard_boss]

You really want me to do that?

[He thinks about it then finds it rather amusing.]

It'll keep him away from the cake. You're on.

[...Rinzler's been trying to look up strange user terms himself, but this one sounds both significant and time-limited.]

Clarify: birthday?

[sidecars]

[ Oh god another alien or robot or both to explain shit to. ]

It's an annual celebration on the day of a human's birth
They are very important

Procedure?
