Who: Cheese Sandwich and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide - video
Action: Bishop
When: Right now.

[Cheese has been here for three months now, and it's clear Atroma aren't about to get rid of him, so he has an important mission to carry out. He turns on the video feed at stares down at the camera, his face is serious. This is serious business. ]

Okay, everypony. I have a super duper absolutely utterly important question to ask all of you. I really, really need an answer from everypony. It's that important.

[He leans a little closer in, to show how REALLY IMPORTANT it is. ]

I need to you tell me when your birthdays are. I also accept dates of anniversaries or likewise important dates to you.

[He picks up a pencil from off camera, and sits poised, ready to write into a little notebook. His words are a little muffled when he speaks again on account of the pencil in his mouth. Earth pony problems.]

OKAY GO!

You know it. I gotta be prepared, after all, and there are heaps new people I need to throw parties for here.

Re: video;

[peacockherald]

Do you plan to do individual parties, or are you thinking more parties for everyone who has a birthday in a particular month?

[preformthisneigh]

I think we can do individual parties. I mean, everypony is split up on the ships, its not like we have a central place like Paradisa's ballroom. It'd be easier for a personal service, than trying to cram everypony onto one ship.

[peacockherald]

That is true. Though I think you should check with people and make sure they want a party and are all right with you making up the interior of their ships. Some people are not as enthusiastic about them as you are, my friend.

[preformthisneigh]

[Vanyel, that's silly. That's just crazy talk. ]

Pffft, I can make the perfect party for them. It won't all be about loud music and games, y'know? I can do quiet affairs too.

[Asking him not to throw a party is liking asking him not to breathe. ]

[peacockherald]

Yes, I am sure you can. I am not doubting your skills, but not everyone is as excited for parties as yourself, Cheese. It would not due to make enemies among the crews from your exuberance.

[preformthisneigh]

Don't you think 'enemy' is a little excessive for not liking a party?

[peacockherald]

Perhaps, but it is wise caution nonetheless.

[preformthisneigh]

OKay, okay, I'll be careful, I promise.

[This is a lie, he's never careful. ]

[peacockherald]

_{[ He gives the pony a look. ]}

Promises are meant to be kept, Cheese. They are your word, after all. Just please be cautious should you attempt any surprises.

[preformthisneigh]

Hey now, a party pony never, ever breaks his or her word. We've got very clear rules on that kinda thing. I'll be careful not to surprise anypony who doesn't want to be surprised.

[peacockherald]

All right. Not that I think your surprises are bad ones, Cheese, but some people might react poorly and the last thing we need is someone getting hurt by accident.

How have you taken to your ship?

[preformthisneigh]

Aw no, I'd never hurt anypony, especially not with a party.

The Bishop? It's really nice. I like the crew a lot.

[peacockherald]

You might not, but some people react poorly to surprise and lash out. My concern is for you. I know you would never hurt anyone, Cheese.

Wonderful. No steering issues?

[preformthisneigh]

It'll be fine, don't worry, amigo.

Nope! And I got a fellow pilot. He's usually a penguin.

[peacockherald]

_{[ There's a pause. ]}

I beg pardon, did you say "penguin"? As in the black and white flightless birds of the Earth worlds?

[preformthisneigh]

Yep! Just like that. Except he's not really a penguin. He's a shapeshifter, but not of the evil love-sucking sort like we have in Equestria.

[peacockherald]

Ah... I see... And - and his natural state is a penguin or that's the one he prefers?

[preformthisneigh]

I think it's just one one he prefers. He's probably got his reasons.

[peacockherald]

Yes, of course, and he should be what he is most comfortable being.

_{[ Havens knew that Vanyel had struggled with just that concept for quite a long time. ]}

If it helps your records, Cheese... I prefer chocolate myself. Or strawberry.

[preformthisneigh]

Duly noted, how do you feel about a combo of the two? Delicious or unholy joining?

[peacockherald]

Do you know I have never had them combined. But I would hardly call their joining unholy.

[preformthisneigh]

Then this suggests the need to experiment!

[peacockherald]

_{[ He laughs and raises a brow. ]}

Does it? And how do you suggest we experiment?

[preformthisneigh]

I was mostly thinking of just smooshing them both together?
