Who: Vash and you. Yes you!
Broadcast: Open to all
Action: Three Twins
When: August 18th

[And yet another birthday. Vash ticks it off mentally. He's never had a real problem with his birthday, but he never felt the need to make a big deal out of it either. Sometimes he'd have a nice meal or something, but this year he doesn't feel much need. There was all these exciting new places to check out!

He was in the cargo area. Putting away some spare ammo he had just picked up for the revolver he had. Finished he decided what he likes more than anything is being around people so making a broadcast would be a fun thing to do, right?]

Wow! Isn't being around all this life, wonderful? The people around here are really passionate! Has anyone been into any of the libraries around here? There are a couple books I'd like to look at but it seems a bit selective in who they want looking at them. Anyone have any luck at getting to some of the more... what's that sound?

[As Vash was talking a quiet chripping noise that sounds a lot like "happy birthday" has started to play.]

And what smells like burn-WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! [The camera will get a very quick glimpse of a cake in the shape of a donut. Or at least that's what it looks like it could be underneath all those candles. One of the blaring out happy birthday. Just one out of the over one hundred and thirty candles crammed for room together.]

Crap, crap, crap, crap, oh crap!!! How do I put this- BEEP! BEEP! FIRE! FIRE! BEEP! BEEP! FIRE! [Vash drops the communicator as he dances around. Trying to blow the candles out, but there's just too many! Doesn't help that they're the trick candles that keep relighting themselves.

But it's okay! The ship's sprinklers finally turns on and out goes the candles! And... any dry spot on the ship. Hope everyone visiting the Three Twins wanted a sudden and unexpected shower.]

Uh...oh... how do I get those off?

I'll see if I can get you some info on the terraformers. No problem. Moon with all the poison, though? That sounds bad. Must've happened before I got here.

[ He's clearly curious, though - a moon covered in poison, but there was still a terraformer? interesting... ]

Uhhh... maybe? But I think you'd have to like find a manual override switch or... somethin'. Maybe on the bridge? Or somewhere in the controls of the ship?

[ He's trying to be helpful, but let's face it, he's not~ ]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, but hopefully we found a fix for their terraformers so it won't be poisoned in the future. So, thanks, I'd appreciate any help I can get!

Ugh. I don't know where anything like that is. Hopefully someone else knows. Oh man, they'll probably blame this all on me somehow.

[deviances]

Hey, no problem.

Well, uh, who's the engineer on your ship? Maybe they can shut it off? [ Beat. ] Or start pullin' wires until somethin' stops?

[goldenglasses]

I am not pull out random wires from the ship. What if I turn off the oxygen controls or something!? [Asking an engineer isn't a bad idea, but turns out it doesn't matter as the sprinklers start to sputter themselves off.]

Well, there. That's one problem solved. Now there's just the fact that everything is wet. Great. Just great.

[deviances]

[ He watches the sprinklers go out... and gives a sympathetic, slightly sheepish smile. ]

At least water's not quite so dangerous?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah. And I know they work in case a real fire happened?

[Luckily Vash is a positive sort of guy.]

[deviances]

[ Positivity is a good thing! ]

I'm, uh, thinkin' that many candles stuck so close together kinda almost counts as a real fire. Heh. Seriously, what was up with that? Was someone tryin' to start trouble?

[goldenglasses]

I don't know if they intended the alarm to go off or if the sponsor was just having a bit of fun.

Either way, cramming that many candles on one cake makes a guy feel old. Joke or not that's just mean! [Lalalala. Skimming the truth if they had the right amount of candles or not.]

[deviances]

[ He laughs at that, completely missing that it's a dodge~ ]

Yeah, seriously! Well, happy birthday, regardless, yeah? [ Beat. ] Did you make a wish before the sprinklers happened?

[goldenglasses]

No, it surprisingly didn't cross my mind while I was worried about the ship catching fire. [He has ammo stored back there after all.]

Besides, does it even count if you don't blow them out yourself?
