Who: The Vision and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Windrose
When: Today!

[The video clicks on to an unusual-looking man with maroon skin and a yellow gem set into his forehead. Though he's been a familiar sight around the Windrose, the Vision doesn't tend to post much so he wouldn't be surprised if there are many unfamiliar with him.

This is a special occasion, however. There's even what looks like a cake in the background.]

There was a slight time differential between my last memories of home and the calendar here. Namely, I seem to have missed the month of June entirely. Given that lack, today is the three hundred sixty-fifth day since I was created.

Accordingly, there is cake and ice cream on the Windrose for any who should care to visit.

[He pauses and furrows his brow slightly.]

I cannot vouch for the taste of either, but I assure you they received the highest ratings from the shops they were purchased at.

That's an excellent idea, Wanda. A visual catalog would present an easy explanation for new arrivals.

[Naw, more like he'll make a directory and link her to it. And one for his plants, fish....

He clasps her hand quickly to show his appreciation.]

It should prove both useful and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

[Wanda smiles back, both happy to see that Vision liked her gift, and also feeling rather pleased with herself for having picked something out that Vision actually loves as a gift.]

You are very welcome. Happy Birthday Viz.

[She stops. The nickname for Vision that she'd been toying with in her head suddenly slipped out. She eyes Vision carefully, checking his reaction.]

[unbearablynaive]

[Oh. Oh, that's--no one's ever given him a nickname before (that he knows of, anyway). His smile softens and he gives her hand a light squeeze, not letting go yet.]

Wanda--

[And then he lets go of her hand so he can ever so briefly touch her cheek before dropping his hand back to his side.]

It would mean nothing without the people I care about. I hope you know you are one of those.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She stiffens slightly at her name being said out loud, not sure what was going to come after. However, when she sees his smile, and feels his hand briefly on her cheek, she relaxes, relief washing over her. His words even bringing a slight shade of red to her cheeks.]

I do. It is the same for you, as to me.

[unbearablynaive]

I'm glad.

[That she understands, that she counts him as a good friend as much as he does with her, that she's here today when he decided to have a party. That she brought him a useful gift when she didn't have to get him anything. All of it.]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[There's a moment as Wanda stands there, smiling with that slight shade of red still in her cheeks. Then, she wraps her arms around Vision in a big hug. It lasts only for a second or two, before Wanda pulls away. She looks up at him, the blush having faded, but her smile having grown.]

Happy Birthday, Viz.

[She repeats her earlier line. This time, there's a greater sense of care and tenderness to her words. She doesn't wait for his response though, as she turns and heads over to the refreshments. Looking to help herself to some cake, and maybe make a little small talk with other party attendees.]
