Who: Vash the birthday boy
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Twin Roses
When: August 18th

[The crew of the Twin Roses may wonder why one of their captains has been sitting in the cargo area for the last day with a fire extinguisher nearby.

Unless they heard about what happened on the Three Twins last year. Then they might understand why.

Vash waited. Just in case. Ready.

His wait paid off! As suddenly there is a sponsor drop of 135 donut shaped balloons that all read in big, bright, and colourful letters HAPPY 135TH BIRTHDAY!

They gently float and bob happily around as they attempt to escape onto the rest of the ship.]

Oh NO you don't! [This is of course when Vash communicator decides to turn itself on. Silly malfunctioning thing! It shows nothing but a sea of balloons and the occasional POP! as Vash uses the knife hidden in his boot to pop them all one by one.

Hopefully no one opens the cargo bay door to unleash the sea into the rest of the ship!

Also in the crate is a "gift" 135 small packages of colourful sand art kits. Because what man who spent over 130 years on a desert would want more then brightly coloured sand?]

Anyone want some free dirt? [Will be the offer he makes after the balloons were all destroyed and the evidence tossed.]

[There's a scruffy smirk on the vid link. Whatever is going on, Wolfwood has to be nosy about it.]

What's the occasion?

Re: Video

[goldenglasses]

Because it's international space dirt day. I don't know why the sponsors give what they do half the time.

[Never to celebrate a birthday. Nope never.]

[holygunslinger]

I'm pretty sure those balloons you just finished destroying said it's your birthday.

Unless somebody else is 135 years old. And likes donuts. And lives on your ship.

[goldenglasses]

There... there could be!!!

[holygunslinger]

Oh come on, Tongari, you're a horrible liar. Drinks on you tonight, okay?

[mrfancyhat]

[What the hell is even going on. All the stuff is kind of annoying. How's a guy supposed to enjoy his quiet time like this?]

Who the hell wants free dirt? Just trash it.

[goldenglasses]

Well, I didn't want free dirt and the sponsors gave it to me anyway.

[mrfancyhat]

[He chuckle.!]

I think that's what they call karma.

[goldenglasses]

Maybe I should pour the sand out in your room and all over your bed.

[mrfancyhat]

Yeah, that'll go over well.

[He holds up a finger at him, amused.]

You do know I can touch sand right?

[collegedropout]

... You're sure as hell an old-timer, aren't you?

[goldenglasses]

Don't you young brats know it's rude to mention a man's age?

[collegedropout]

You're right, I should be more respectful toward my elders.

[goldenglasses]

Exactly! You can make it up to me by buying me a drink. [If the sponsors are insisting on not allowing him to have a quiet birthday then he might as well take advantage of it.]

[collegedropout]

I'm surprised you're not fighting the 'elder' title. But okay.

I might afford you a drink. Or maybe not. I'm still wafting on the idea.

Happy birthday man. I...absolutely do not want free dirt, but I got a present for you that is not dirt.

[goldenglasses]

What, really? [He's a bit surprised as he stays pretty hush-hush about his birthday. He would probably automatically guess a meal or a drink that someone could easily just have in hand, but with friends Ike Wolfwood, he also won't be surprised if it's a prank of some kind.

[alwayscomeback]

[He pays attention, Vash. HE PAYS ATTENTION.]

Well, yeah. It was this time last year, right?

...Unless it's not your birthday and some really cruddy anniversary of something terrible happening, in which case you've got a commiseration gift.

[goldenglasses]

Hah, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised someone remembered a ship being nearly set on fire. And here. I thought I did so well covering up the reason. [And by doing well he means he did an abysmal job.]

But, no, not a horrible anniversary. Well, some might think birthdays are, but no terrible anniversaries this month. [NEXT month however...]

video;

[alwayscomeback]

...Yeah no, bro. You sucked at that hard.

[So hard. ]

That's good! So, do you still want your present or are you just going to keep on pretending it's not actually your birthday?

Vash? Why are you offering dirt?

video

[goldenglasses]

Because why not? [Said with a long suffering sigh.] I've suddenly come into a large collection of colourful dirt if you're in the market for some.

[bythewaves]

Ah... a gift from our hosts, then? I hope it is not as... persistent as the one they gave me!

Re: video

[goldenglasses]

I doubt it. I think it will be gone once I throw it away.

...how persistent was your 'gift'?

Every time we get rid of it, we turn around and a new one appears. It also appears to um. Stalk people, showing up in places where we did not leave it.
