Holy fuck is it really Crowley's birthday? That's awesome! I better make him a card and like... um... what do you even get someone that's a kajillion years old?

I KNOW! I'm gonna make him a unicorn! But like... a stabby unicorn!

[This is SO EXCITING.]

[throwsdown]

He's 6,001!

[That's Crowley's fault, he created that number in their conversation. It's law now.]

... I bet he'd really like a stabby unicorn.

Re: video

[pain_train]

Wow, I kind of thought he'd be older.

He really seems like a stabby unicorn kind of guy, I thought.

[throwsdown]

That's what I think, too. A unicorn with glasses on, 'specially.

video

[pain_train]

I can totally do that! You know, I bet I've got the right kind of yarn for it too...

[throwsdown]

Oh, do you like to do crafts and stuff? I try sometimes, but I'm not very good at it...

Re: video

[pain_train]

I really love crafts! I paint, and Winter taught me how to knit, which is really fun. I could try to teach you if you want.

Like... all that really matters with crafts is what's in your heart when you're making things.

[throwsdown]

I'd love that a lot! I've got lots of stuff in my heart!

[He pats a hand over his chest, smiling.]

[pain_train]

I can tell! [She is just beaming.] When do you wanna start?

video

[throwsdown]

Any time! Maybe that can be that thing people talk about — what's it called...

... New Years Relutions?

Re: video

[pain_train]

I think that's what they're called, yeah! [Sounds good enough to her, really.]

It's a cool goal to have--make more fun stuff!

video

[throwsdown]

Especially in a place like this. But... this place isn't that bad, anyway.

The Tranquility was way worse...!

Re: video

[pain_train]

It's really not! Pretty laid back really.

...the Tranquility?

[onlyanapple]

It's not my fucking birthday.

AN NO STABBY UNICORNS!!!

[pain_train]

Oh, okay! So when is your birthday, and what do you want if you don't like stabby unicorns?

[onlyanapple]

I don't have one, on account of the fact I was never born.

I don't want anything. Unless it's booze- and then only with the stipulation that it's not a birthday gift.

[pain_train]

You know, AI get birthdays too, and they don't technically get born either. Like a creation day kind of thing.

Well shit I mean I'm always happy to give people booze.

[onlyanapple]

My creation day doesn't exist either. I was created before time existed, so-

...I will accept booze as long as there's no birthday paraphernalia attached.

[pain_train]

I don't understand what that means, so okay.

Are you just super allergic to birthday stuff? Are you having a hurfdurf problem?

[onlyanapple]

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

I don't want any birthday stuff because it's not my birthday.

[pain_train]

It's words. They don't come in a tin?

[She laughs.] Man, I didn't think you were like... super pedantic. [She knows that word because she was friends with Delta, okay.] But you know, your friends are gonna jump at a day to celebrate you being around.

[onlyanapple]

They might.

[He lets out a long suffering sigh. ]

No, don't you try and get to me with the whole...emotional blackmail thing. That isn't fair.

[pain_train]

...that's not emotional blackmail! That's just like... the truth! People like you, so we want to celebrate the whole... you existing thing!

[onlyanapple]

I'm calling it emotional blackmail. It's a purposeful attempt to pull at my heartstrings to get me to agree to this.

Which I don't have. Heartstrings.

[He does, and consider them pulled. ]

But fine, whatever. Just no singing.

[pain_train]

No it's not. I'm just being logical. Like Delta taught me how. It's not my fault that I've come up with an argument you can't refute. [Haha, she used another big word! So proud of herself right now.]

I mean, that's probably for the best because if you had strings, they could get all tangled or frayed or stuff.

[Sigh.]

Fine, no singing. But you get a stabbycorn. And cake.
