Happy 19th Birthday!

[the_tailor]

Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Huntress and planetside
When: 7/28 and some time before the following drifting period



[A - Broadcast]

[Lance is all smiles at the camera once he opens the feed. There's something a little...different about his appearance. Namely, that he's wearing a brown cat ear headband along with a matching tail. And looks thoroughly unashamed.]

So, I know time's all messed up due to all the coming and going and differences from back home, but going by last year's... Well, I just turned 19 today. I got another sponsor gift box, and it's actually some pretty sweet stuff! You've probably already noticed the ears and the tail, which I have no idea why but I think it suits me well. Plus, I got these shindigs.

[He tilts the camera to show a sweet pair of shark plush flip flops on his feet. Next, he holds up a large blue water gun he definitely intends on surprise attacking people with.]

I'm definitely not complaining. Thanks, mysterious fans out there! I'll be putting all of this to good use. And speaking of putting things to good use... I think my favorite present might be the last one. I got a CD, and, well.

[He smirks, pressing a button as music starts blaring. Those from Earth will recognize that the song is in a foreign language, specifically Spanish. Lance just grins even wider before singing along, eventually cutting the feed halfway through.]




[B - Planetside - Action]

[Last year, he'd mostly put together his own birthday celebration with the help of the others. This time, he hadn't even mentioned the day coming up to anyone. After the mist, he hadn't been in a very self-celebratory mood. Which is why he's absolutely shocked when he's brought down planetside to what looks to be a decently fancy spa meant for groups. Being able to do this, especially surrounded by friends (family, rather, because that's what he thinks of them as), is more than a pleasant surprise.

There are plenty of things to do there. Massages, facials, jacuzzis, hot springs, a pool, and more. For the most part he lets everyone do what they want, though he does drag various people along with him to certain things. For example, no one's leaving the building without experiencing the benefits of a good face mask. Frolic around, take part in things, and enjoy your fuzzy white robes and slippers!]




[C - Broadcast + Action]

[Have another happy looking Lance. He's noticeably been improving since his mist illnesses, thanks to the support of his friends. And a few new things.]

So I heard some people have found things of theirs from back home in the mist. I went in there a few times, but I was pretty resigned that I just wasn't going to find something of mine. But then I heard a sound from behind a rock, and what do you now, I came across one of my best friends! Say hi to everyone, Kaltenecker!

[He angles the camera to show a calf-sized but adult aged beautiful cow. She moos in response, and Lance clasps his hands together.]

I don't know why she's so tiny, but it's her! She still has her bow and everything! She's gonna stay here on the Huntress where we're growing plants and veggies and stuff. So yay, fresh milk! I make a mean milkshake, so feel free to come by sometime soon for one of those.

[He kneels down, wrapping his arms around Kaltenecker and just snuggling her happily.]




[D - Your choice]

[Feel free to message him or see him about anything else!]




[ooc: All of Lance's positive CR would have been invited to the spa day, so if Lance is friends or even good acquaintances with your character, feel free to assume they can come along. Also, sorry for the memelord.]

Comments

AAAAAA

[pidge_out]

[Against her better judgment, Pidge is grinning. Full on grinning from ear to ear, and Lance might notice a little green space caterpillar idly floating around in her room somewhere behind her.]

You're such a fucking meme, dude.

[the_tailor]

And you love it.

[He winks to his fellow memelord. Lance knows you, Pidge. His eyes trail to something behind her on the screen, though.]

Whoooaaaa, did you get your fluffy friends from back home?

[pidge_out]

Dumbass. [Of course she is, that's why she's grinning. But she just rolls her eyes and will neither confirm nor deny this statement.]

Oh yeah! Just one of them, though. [She looks back over and there it goes, a little fluffy ball of green floating over to say hi.] Found it wandering around in the mist.

[padadin]

[Fluffy robe indeed! Shiro chooses the biggest robe he can find, covering his body from neck to ankles, not wanting to show Lance the fact he isn't exactly down to his underwear under it, he's still covering skin. No matter what Lance said that one time before the wedding, it's still not easy for Shiro to show his scars.

At least he's being nice to the birthday boy in other ways? Like letting him pull his fluff back with a hair pin. And... ok, rising his eyebrow at the green goo on Lance's face and the tub of it on his hands now.]

What is that?

[the_tailor]

[Awww, Shiro looks adorable with his hair floof pinned back like that. Note to self, take picture soon. Lance smiles up at him once he's done applying it to himself.]

It's a face mask! I've never really heard of the ingredients before, but they swear by it here, so I'm more than willing to trust them. It's gonna make your skin feel fantastic.

[padadin]

My skin doesn't feel bad...

[It's just. You know, normal? But ok, they said they would this for Lance's birthday and now he has to keep his word.]

Alright, I get it. Put it on. Just be careful with my nose.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't understand this obsession with getting older. Aren't you closer to death now?

[the_tailor]

...Wow, buddy. Way to be a grade A mood killer right there.

[Loki PLEASE. It's a good thing Lance is getting a little more used to him over time.]

Look, it's more of a celebration of yay, I've actually lived this long! And trust me, when you're in a job like I'm in back home, that really is something to cheer about.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose that makes sense.

[ As much as birthdays do. Loki still finds them weird. ]

B

[tempredmental]

I can't believe I let you talk me into this...

[Keith scrunched his face up while Lance was putting that weird goopy stuff on his face.]

Are you sure this isn't just some weird version of Altean food goo or something?

[Hunk probably would have tasted it by now.]

[the_tailor]

It's my birthday, babe. You can make a couple of small sacrifices for the birthday boy.

[Lance leans in to place a kiss on the exposed skin on his forehead before that's covered in the mask as well.]

I'm positive! It's this place's most popular face mask. Even if it was edible, who cares? Supposedly it really does the job, and I'm going to trust them.

[One of the best parts about this was having to pull Keith's hair back into a cute little ponytail, small clips in his bangs to keep them back during the mask procedure.]

[axi]

[Kaname's on camera, smiling at Lance.]

Happy birthday! I never realized I didn't know how old you were until now.

[the_tailor]

Really? Well, now you know! It's probably not exact, mentally anyway thanks to the going and coming, but it's good enough.

[He smiles right back.]

Thanks for the happy birthday.

A / audio

[unbearablynaive]

[cue one vaguely British voice, though he sounds more amused than horrified like his words might suggest]

They've done it. They've sent you Despacito.

Truly, the sponsors are merciless.

[the_tailor]

Merciless? You mean awesome! I thought I'd never hear this song again! And now I get to play it whenever I want!

[...Sorry, Huntress.]

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose is so confused. She doesn't know Lance well, but she doesn't need to. Not after this display.]

Your best friend is a cow? That's quite sad.

[the_tailor]

I said one of my best friends, darn it! My other two best friends are my boyfriend and also my total BFF Hunk, who isn't here. Kaltenecker is my furry friend! I mean, Oliver too obviously but...

[Pout! Don't knock him!]

C

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Cue Ulaz looking at the screen with a very perplexed expression]

What manner of creature is that?

[the_tailor]

A cow!

[She moos, and Lance smiles.]

They're a domesticated farm animal from Earth. And they produce milk!

[Video] C!

[wallcrawler]

[Pete's happily isolated himself in the lab, big surprise there. But Lance coming back with the latest point in favor of renaming the ship Noah's Ark 2.0 is enough to warrant a reaction. He can let whatever he's heating up with those bunsen burners on the table next to him just continue to boil for a bit while he gets to the bottom of this.]

One of your best friends is a cow. A miniature cow.

[A Mini Moo-Moo, if you will. But Pete's just...trying to understand what's going on here. And why they have tiny space livestock now.]

Dude you're like a hundred times more social than me, why is one of your best friends an actual cow? Did you grow up on a dairy farm or something? Like, you had a pet cow instead of, I don't know, a dog or something several hundred pounds lighter?

[Look even this bio nerd with animal-based special abilities hasn't gone so far as to befriend actual animals, he needs to understand this.]

[the_tailor]

Yes. Yes she is, and I am not ashamed of it.

[Katlenecker is his gal! Other than Red, now. Which...granted, considering Red is a giant robot lion...isn't much better, but.]

Look, not all of us can have normal pets out in space. We kind of ended up getting her for free at a space mall when Pidge and I bought a video game system, and she kind of became my cow. And excuuuuuse me for being buddies from someone back home who doesn't judge me.

[dandyofawolf]

[Of course you can bet Biffy is here for a spa day with his friend. Well, spa night really. Due to his nature, he had to show up late since he can't come out when the sun is up. (Honestly he probably could but he would just be miserable and no one needs that.)

Smiling as he walks in with his robe on that he's freshly changed into, he comes over to greet his friend.]

My apologies for how late I am. I hope have been having fun. Oh, and I have a gift to give you later.

[the_tailor]

[He isn't disappointed when Biffy isn't one of the first people who shows up, because even if Lance doesn't know all the werewolfy details, he doubts he's the kind of guy who would turn down a spa day. And indeed, there he is once the sun goes down. Lance pads over in his new shark plush slippers and gives him a bright smile and wave.]

Hey, no problemo! I'm not going home until I've taken advantage of like everything this place has to offer. It means a lot that you came...and you didn't have to get me a gift, seriously!

[tsunergy]

[Mikleo's one of the primary caretakers of the engineering garden - everyone is under strict instructions never to touch the radishbells, there's signs all over the plot marking their poisonous nature - and he visits it daily for the pengyon's egg-laying, so it isn't long before he wanders in to check on how things are going. Goodness, but that's the smallest non-baby cow he's ever seen.

It's exciting, though. The prospect of real milk is basically the best thing ever to happen in the fleet.]

How is she settling in?

[Hope he's gotten her a pen.]

[the_tailor]

[He's hanging out with Kaltenecker, petting her as he chats aimlessly to her about anything and everything. And don't worry, Mikleo, he's set up a pen as best as he can. He doesn't want her to end up nomming on the vegetables that aren't meant for her.

When he hears Mikleo, he looks up and gives him a wave.]

Pretty well, actually! She's a low maintenance cow. Honestly, I think she's just chill with whatever, which makes things easier.
