Kitty's birthday : Mingle!

[passingthrough]

Who: Kitty's friends, anyone Pinkie or Winn would have invited, people who would be on the ship anyway, party crashers, etc. They probably tried to keep it small and then failed hard. Feel free to assume you heard about it.
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The Tourist
When: August 15

[Kitty was not expecting a surprise birthday party because while it is the date of her birth, her last birthday was about seven months ago because abductions that can happen from any time make things weird. And then there's also the part where Winn got attacked by Sascha and she and Winn had their first significant fight and things have been on the rough side. Of course, with people like Winn and Pinkie Pie in her life she really should have known better.

So, here we are on The Tourist with dancing in the cargo hold. Winn's phone is playing mustic amplified by Cisco's speakers. There are snacks, beverages, and cake in the kitchen. With Pinkie Pie helping out and some of the stores of food they built up from the time on the hand holding planet you can expect better-than-spacefood quality. And if you need more privacy, Winn opened his room up, but he did include a sign that says no making out complete with a disappointed frowny face, so you would never! Probably.

Enjoy the party! Kitty is turning 20 years and 7 months today? Yeah, there may be another birthday party for her coming up. She's probably doomed to have two per year. Of course you have to get gifts for both!]

[Sup, Kitty. Eventually the second party horse will pay her a visit. He doesn't really have a gift because he kind of sucks at the personal details as much as Pinkie excels at them. He is, however, carrying an accordion.]

Heeeeey birthday girl. I know you already had your special birthday song, but I wondered if you'd like another?

[passingthrough]

[Are you the party horse of parties present? Will the party horse of parties future come to her next?

It's okay. Seeing a talking pony with an accordion is more than enough gift for one life time.]

I don't even know how I could begin to say no to that.

[preformthisneigh]

[If he ever decides to leave the former Stepford Smiler village he lives in, sure! ]

Great! That's what I always like to hear.

[And now she gets to observe the glorious sight of a creature with hooves playing an accordion. He does it pretty well, all things considered. ]

♪ Happy birthday dear Kitty
Have a birthday ditty!
I hope your day is real thrilling
And many drinks you'll be swilling!
And most of alll
Have the happiest birthday ball! ♪

[Oh god, how do you even react? Maybe this whole thing—the prison and now the fleet have just been one very long fever dream and this is what is supposed to snap her out of it.]

That was a custom song. You wrote me a song. [Just stating facts here in an enthusiastic voice.]

[preformthisneigh]

Well, of course I did.

[He says that as if she's stating the obvious.]

That's what I do for everypony's birthday. Did you like it?

[passingthrough]

[She's an everypony. If only her parents could see her now.]

Now one has ever written be a song before. How am I going to not like it? [At least she assumes Winn was singing a pre-made song. Maybe she should ask.]

[preformthisneigh]

[It's only the best thing to be ever. ]

Really? Well...that's just really sad. I promise you'll get one from me every birthday. Maybe even whatever human winter celebration you do. I know there are a couple, so it's a little hard to keep track who celebrates what.

[passingthrough]

Hanukkah. I usually end up celebrating Christmas with people too, but Hanukkah was mine. [Back when there was more to celebrate. Her world seems so opposite of pony.]

How many birthdays do you think you'll see me for? [Looking amused, but it's always a little strange to talk about the future with other captives from the multiverse.]

[preformthisneigh]

Ahhhh right, that's the one with the candles, right?

[He tries his best to keep track of non-pony holidays, so he knows how best to celebrate them with his non-pony friends when the time comes. ]

I don't know, as many as Atroma keeps you here for. This kinda thing is always hard to judge.

[passingthrough]

That's the one. Do you have that back home or did you just learn about it here?

Yeah. [Noting like being an indefinite captive!]

[preformthisneigh]

I learned about it in Paradisa. We don't have any real religion in Equestria.

[passingthrough]

I'm not sure anyone has a real religion anyway. [Her and god haven't been on the best terms even if there were traditions and holidays she missed.]

[preformthisneigh]

No? I thought it was pretty important in other worlds.

[passingthrough]

[A soft sigh.] It's important. Just not always good, but don't mind me. I don't always look on the bright side. [Back home the bright side was probably just radioactive.]

[preformthisneigh]

It's okay. But if you ever need somepony to give you something to smile about once in a while, hit me up.

[passingthrough]

You'll be my first somepony call. Thanks. And thanks again for the song. That was extremely memorable.

[preformthisneigh]

Don't mention it. Have a fantasteriffic day!
