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

[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.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith pouted a little, but just the fact that he was letting Lance do this to him in the first place was a pretty big step.]

What if it does something weird on human skin?

[Or... well, in Keith's case, half-human/half-Galra... it wasn't something he'd needed to consider before.]

[the_tailor]

Well, it hasn't had a bad effect on me yet, so I'm pretty sure we're safe. Don't worry. Seriously, you're gonna thank me when you feel how nice your skin feels and see how good it looks. And, you know, the fact that I'm going to want to kiss it all over.

[He winks, finishing applying the mask almost reluctantly--he likes touching his boyfriend's face, okay?]

[tempredmental]

It feels weird right now, though. I don't like it.

[He pouted more, definitely forcing himself not to wipe it off right away.]

You know I'm only doing this for you, right? [You better appreciate this, Lance. Keith was way outside his comfort zone.]

[the_tailor]

Yeah, yeah, you're extremely clear about that. Still, would it kill you to smile a little instead of looking like you want to burn down the place?

[Lance does love that Keith's here with him, but...he feels bad if it's literal torture for his boyfriend.]

Look, if you want to just wash it off and go back to the ship...

[tempredmental]

[Keith squeezed his eyes shut for a second, and then sighed.]

I'm sorry. I don't want to leave. I just... this is really not something I'm used to. I'm sorry. I didn't... I didn't mean to mess things up.

[He stared down at his hands for a second.]

If you want me to go, though... I will.

[the_tailor]

I don't want you to go! I like getting to share this with you. I just don't want you to feel miserable here, you know? I don't want you to suffer just to make me smile.

[He wipes his hands clean before tucking a stray lock of hair behind Keith's ear.]

I just want you to be happy. That makes me happy.

[tempredmental]

[Keith was quiet for a moment, and then shook his head.]

I know this kind of thing is important to you... and, it's your birthday, so... It's only fair we do something you like. That's more important. I don't mean to be such a grump about it.

[the_tailor]

Okay. But if it gets too much, don't be afraid to tell me. Like I said, you happy makes me happy, and even if it's my birthday, I don't want to take advantage. It's not right of me if I did.

[Look, Keith, look how much your boyfriend has matured. And possibly lose some self liking, but that's besides the point. He gives a little smile and places a little kiss to Keith's lips.]

It means a lot to me that you're here, Keith, seriously.

[tempredmental]

[Keith smiled a little in return, reaching over and giving Lance's hands a small squeeze.]

It's fine. I promise.

So, what's next?

[the_tailor]

Hmmm...

[He looks down at their hands.]

How about a manicure? Don't worry, you don't have to get your nails painted some flashy color. Though you'd look really good in red.

[tempredmental]

[Keith winced a little.]

No nail polish.

[He tended to be too rough, anyway, so, even if he wanted it, it wouldn't last. If anything, it would chip, and then he'd just strip it off with his teeth to get rid of it, and he'd been really good at not biting his nails for the past ten years since he stopped. An overzealous chaperone at the group home had been pretty rough on him about it when he had started biting them after his dad died.]

[the_tailor]

Just a clear polish, that's all. Nothing fancy. I mean, I'm probably gonna get mine done in a nice blue, but you know me.

[He winks.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith shook his head.]

I'm probably just gonna mess it up and then end up chewing it off anyway, so don't bother.

[the_tailor]

[SIIIIGH.]

...Foot massage and pedicure?

[tempredmental]

[Keith shrugged.] I guess. I just don't want anything on my nails, okay? Like... you can do the rest of it. That's okay.

[the_tailor]

Fine. You get a foot massage, and I'll get that and a pedicure. Is that fine? Actually--you can get like, a half pedicure? They can just fix up your nails, but not actually paint them.

[tempredmental]

That's okay. [Keith shrugged.] They can do that on my hands, too. I just don't want anything on my nails.

[the_tailor]

[That definitely entails a smile from him.]

A manipedi with my boyfriend. Be still my heart.

[He laughs, leaning in to kiss him carefully so they don't mess up their masks.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith smiled back, scrunching his nose a bit at the facemask-conscious kiss. Silly...]

That's good, then?

[the_tailor]

More than good. I think I've got that one on my bucket list, actually.

[tempredmental]

[He chuckled a little.]

Well, good. Nothing like checking off a bucket list item on your birthday, right?

[Well, maybe not on his birthday, but it was definitely in celebration of, so ... close enough.]

[the_tailor]

Exactly. Makes it doubly as special.

[Smile.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith smiled back.]

Good.

[He stole a kiss, which, unlike Lance's earlier, wasn't as concerned about the facemasks.]

[the_tailor]

Nnnn... You're gonna mess up the masks, making me want to kiss back more.

[Because he does. Lance always does. But...the masks!]
