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?

[Vash just shrugs a shoulder.] Eh, it's fine. It's not like I asked for one, but such a shame to waste perfectly good baked goods!

[forsometimenow]

It is. ... Happy birthday, anyway. Maybe we can find a good bakery somewhere around here and get you a non-soggy cake donut.

[goldenglasses]

Heh. Usually I'd say it's the thought that counts, but I don't think any thought went into this gift. Non-soggy baked goods are much nicer.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, when it comes to Atroma, you can always assume they put zero thought into their quote-unquote presents.

[goldenglasses]

Well, hopefully my ratings with the ladies have boosted from all of this. I understand they like to see beautiful men get wet.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer giggled at that.]

And if not, they'll feel sorry for your cake being ruined, or they'll laugh at all the candles. Win-win either way.

[goldenglasses]

Good! Because I've been thinking this ship could use a few upgrades lately.

I just wish I could have gotten some extra credits another way. I hope the crew doesn't blame this on me.

[forsometimenow]

I think your crew will understand if you tell them it was Atroma's fault- it's so typically THEM.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, they should understand. I wonder if the sprinklers went off in the other parts of the ship too? Because the cat and dogs we have on board may be less forgiving.

[forsometimenow]

Oh, man, I hope not. Dogs are usually okay around water, I think, but cats... not so much.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I know. At least the cat won't know it was because of me?

[forsometimenow]

Mmmhmm. Still, let's hope the rest of the ship is dry, for everyone's sake.

[goldenglasses]

I hope so too.

I better get cleaning for now. I have to get to work later. Unless you're really bored and want to come by and help. [He's mostly kidding. He won't say no to help, but he really isn't expecting a yes.]

[forsometimenow]

I think I'll pass, but thanks for the kind offer.

[goldenglasses]

Well, alright if you're so sure.

[He sighs under his breath in a way that is clearly done for the other person to hear.]

Won't even help me clean up on my birthday.

[Guilt. Guilt. Guilt!]

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer smirked.]

If I bring over another cake later, would that make it up to you?

[goldenglasses]

Well, I do like baked goods. Yours won't be wet, right?

[forsometimenow]

Promise.

[goldenglasses]

Heh, well alright then. I'll hold you to it!

[forsometimenow]

See you soon.

[goldenglasses]

I look forward to it.
