Cheese is Good, Cheese is Nice

[spontaneouscombustion]

Who: Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Iskaulit
When: October 23

[Frankly, this last shuffle could go to Tartarus in a wicker basket and a card reading "Dear Tirek: Dig In." But if there's one thing that could bring some joy back to Pinkie after losing a friend, it was making others happy. Especially by throwing a birthday party she'd been planning for months, and doubly especially for the love of her life, and someone who lifted her up after the hard weekend. So early-ish in the morning, those who Pinkie knew to be Cheese's close friends would get a video message.]

Morning, everybody~! Pinkie Pie here, and I've got a super DUPER special birthday I need help celebrating today! My super duper co-party planner and even super-duper-er special somepony Cheesy turns another year older today, so come by the Iskaulit for lots of cake and punch and games! See you there~

[Indeed, Pinkie pulled out as many stops as she could for this one. There's a vast and varied snack bar (vegetarian of course) featuring fondue and chips and dip and pizzas, a literal rainbow of punchbowls, and as many non-dice party games as you can shake a tail at. And the centerpiece is a pretty dang big chocolate cake with a frosting in the image of Cheese's Party Howitzer, Boneless 2 riding on top like a proud general. (She wanted it to be colossal but flour's been at a premium and the last of it went into this beauty.) Come on in, guys, and give the Fleet's first party pony some love back.]

[He watches her slowly lower the present, his grin still on his face. Then he leans in and opens it with his hooves. How does he do that? How does that even work? How do these tiny horses function?

No one knows.

Still, he looks pretty pleased with the glorious gift. ]

Oh wow! This is awesome!!! Thank you!!

[She's watching and she still doesn't know. Nothing makes sense. NOTHING! She was also not expecting such happiness over the gift which is foolish because who is she dealing with here? Of course there would be rejoicing.]

It was no problem. Glad you like it.

[Sorry, Kitty, he's great at happiness. It's his forte. Or at least, making OTHERS happy. Still, getting gifts is a new thing for him, he's genuinely happy. ]

I love it!

[passingthrough]

Yeah? I would have settled for "didn't hate."

[preformthisneigh]

[He gives a dismissive snort- it's absolutely a horse snort. ]

But that would mean I didn't like it- even a tiny bit, when I really do love it. It's awesome. You can never not have enough things to keep you warm when you're a drifter.

Glad you like it. [Stoooop you're embarrassing her. How take compliment?] Want me to go put it on the table for you so you can get back to meeting guests and whatever birthday guys do?

[He grins, nodding happily. HE WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL SO THERE. ]

That's great! Thanks again.
