And yours is, like, four digits!

So come get your special prize for being a really cool old person!

I don't have any digits because-

UGH. You know what, fine. Okay. Let's just- fucking get this over with.

[He's coming to find you, you tiny pain in the ass. ]

[throwsdown]

[Excellent. Follow the confetti stream on the floor —

And there he is, with a paper-wrapped small box and a thing full of rather nice-looking cupcakes.

Takeshi holds up his arms.]

Welcome to your birthday surprise! I couldn't get cake, but I got something just as good!

[Hoi Hoi is rolling on the floor in the background.... We expect this, at this point.]

[onlyanapple]

[Hoi Hoi is always around. Crowley hopes he gets confetti stuck in his stupid panda fur :|

He steps a little closer, head tilted to one side, as if he's expecting this to be a terrible, awful trap. ]

...Right. Something just as good would be booze.

[throwsdown]

[He nods fervently, handing over the present with urgency.

Clearly a good gift!!]

And it lasts a lot longer, too!

[Upon opening it, he will find the following:



Spooky scary skeletons.]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley opens the package and stares at them for a moment. Because...wow, that sure is a thing. ]

Those are ties with skeletons on them.

[Just gonna...state the obvious while he lets it sink in. ]

[throwsdown]

[HE NODS FERVENTLY.]

Yeah! They're pretty badass, right?!

[LOOK HOW COOL, YOU'D LOOK SO AWESOME IN THESE, HUH?!?!]

[onlyanapple]

I mean. Sure? Skeletons are...badass.

[All he can think is WOW THIS IS WHAT AZREAL LOOKS LIKE WITHOUT CLOTHES ON. ]

[throwsdown]

[Oh no...! He can't help but frown, looking worried.]

Do you not like them...? I was real certain you would, but...

[onlyanapple]

[And, because Crowley is a terrible demon and doesn't want to make Takeshi sad:]

No. No. They're...really neat. I. Like them. Thumbs up, fantastic gift.

[throwsdown]

[He sighs in UTTER RELIEF, CROWLEY. Hand to his heart and everything.]

Oh, good...! I was real worried there for a second that I'd let you down...

[onlyanapple]

[Someonefuckingdamnit. He offers a smile. ]

Nah, you couldn't do that, kiddo.
