Second Bamf

Who: Kurt and youuuuu
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Huntress
When: Shortly after everyone returned to their ships

[Kurt has just woken up from a cryo-sleep, and the German teen looks a bit bummed after having seen the date.]

Awww man, is the date for real? Did I sleep through my birthday and Thanksgiving?! Total bummer...

[He gives a defeated shrug.]

I heard of catching up on your beauty sleep, but this is ridiculous!

You must have been exhausted.

[ she doesn't know what those days are -- except that, perhaps, a birthday might be synonymous with one's name day. ] Why else would you sleep so long.

[ polite conversation. after all, they share a ship now. ]

[Someone hasn't realized that yet. It is awkward seeing her again after that first meeting, but he tries to sheepishly grin his way through it.]

Um... well, because of science? Or magic.

I have a pretty good feeling I was getting all of the sleep that I needed. [Considering that they were all knocked out at night when they were on the Marsiva. Although then there were those strange dreams.]

[Octavia's face appears on the comm looking a little taken aback.]

Whoa, whoa, we missed your birthday?

Guess I better wish you a belated happy birthday, then.

Kind of... Does it still count when the months are different in space and then you sleep through it?

But it's supposed to be the 11th of November...

I promise I wasn't trying to fish for well wishes...

But since they're here anyway, I'll take them! Thanks, Nami.

[How did the tiny horse fly a shuttle here so quick? How did he FIND you? Why has he exploded onto the scene in a cloud of streamers and confetti??? Where did the balloons come from???

These questions may never be answered. But there is Cheese, grinning like a lunatic and playing his accordion. ]

♫ So your birthday passed during your nap
Well don't you worry it's just a lil' old mishap
We can get the celebrations back on track
So grab the cake and pour the cognac
I'm here to make your birthday wish come true
SOOOOOOO a happy belated birthday to you!!! ♫

Hey, I would have been. But I believe you.

How old are you, anyway?

[ she squints into the screen. she vaaaaaaaaguely recalls happening upon the "thanksgiving" topic during her holiday research back in cerealia.

but more on that later. ]

It was your birthday? When?

I'm supposed be turning 18... To be fair, I don't think the months line up just right.

[THIS HORSE IS SUDDENLY SINGING TO HIM ABOUT COGNAC Kurt jumps with a start and looks on bewildered as he plays his song. This is a different level of awkward than getting sung to at a restaurant.]

Wh-what was...

Why?!

[Why is she squinting... He just raises an unsure eyebrow.]

November 11th! That's the day.

[ tadashi shakes his head, a little amused. ]

Happy belated birthday. How old are you now?

Heh... Thanks, dude. I guess you can say I'm 18 now! Pretty cool, right?

[He assumes this guy might be younger then him ~~despite that deep voice~~.]

[ omg kurt no... ]

It's a fun age. [ tadashi is ever-agreeable, though. ] You should do something to celebrate.

That is ridiculous. [Shawn nods sagely - which is a Sign, considering how he's struggling to sit still and remain in the frame of the video] All the more reason we should still throw you a party, right?

I'm sure your crew won't mind if we steal the kitchen for a few hours.

[Aw man now it sounds like he's actually older. And just when Kurt was looking forward to being the big man on space campus!

Oh well, he'll roll with it.]

Yeah, I totally should! I just don't know what...

Any suggestions, Mr. Fun Age?

It's Tadashi, by the way. Nice to meet you.

[ mr fun age... he's cracking up a little at that, though, but looks thoughtful. ]

We should be coming up on another planet soon. I'm hoping, at least.

Shawn! Dude, good to see you!

Hey, I like the way you think. It shouldn't be a big deal. No one even uses our kitchen most of the time, anyway! [He hasn't found out they got a cook yet...]

Good to meet you! My name's Kurt.

A new planet, huh... Yeah it has been like ages since we had some solid ground to work with. I'm starting to feel all cooped up!

Just now? Feels like we've been trapped in here forever.

They never do. I think I probably had a birthday somewhere in the last god knows how long, but dates are pretty irrelevant in interdimensional prisons.

I don't understand. How does that benefit...them?

[ the last word is whispered, as though she speaks of a monster listening in. ]

[At least he's stopped playing the accordion. That's...something. ]

Because even if you missed it, you still need somepony to wish you a happy birthday.

Oh man. It was your birthday? We have to do something!
