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.]

[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.

[tsunergy]

That's good. Hopefully she and Viviane get along well enough.

[He nods towards the other pen, where the pengyon waddles through a small pool outside of her coop, watching the cow suspiciously.

Mikleo ventures closer, leaning over the fence to offer a hand out to the cow for a whiff. Animals tend to be naturally drawn to seraphim for one reason or another, so he's curious to find out if the same applies to space cows.]

[the_tailor]

I'm sure they will. Kaltenecker is a sweetheart!

[And as if proving that, the cow sniffs at Mikleo's hand before taking a step forward and bumping her head lightly against it.]

[tsunergy]

[Mikleo lets the cow take her time with it, moving his hand when the animal deems him acceptable, gently scratching at her forehead the way he's seen people pet horses in the past.]

I'm less worried about her than Vivi. She's notorious about pecking at the feet of strangers when she's in a mood.

[the_tailor]

Oh.

[He frowns a bit. Because no one's to hurt his beloved cow, okay! At least she seems completely content right now. Mikleo seems to have a way with animals.]

Should have a good talk with Vivi, then.

[tsunergy]

Yeah, good luck with that.

[Talking to a pengyon is not the most productive use of one's time. Her beak's not big or sharp at least, so the chance of any major injury is pretty damn slim.]

I'll keep an eye on her, but she's quite happy in her pen most of the time, so as long as the cow is polite and doesn't poke her nose in on a bad day, they'll be fine.

[the_tailor]

[Oh welp.]

Katlenecker's well behaved, so I think everything'll work out. ...Heh. Eggs, milk...we can actually start baking around here right.

[tsunergy]

Actually, that's what I'm most interested in. You mentioned milkshakes, right? Because I'm looking forward to making ice cream, as well.

[the_tailor]

[Lance nods eagerly.]

I love ice cream. Getting to have it again once we got Kaltenecker was basically, like, heaven. A little bit of dairy heaven in the cold vastness of space.

[tsunergy]

I can imagine- I'm already looking forward to it. As soon as you have a surplus of milk, let me know and I'll whip some right up.

[the_tailor]

Sweet. No pun intended. ...Pun intended.

[Who is he kidding.]

I'll let you know! She's always been good with producing a lot of milk, so we ought to be good on that.

[tsunergy]

Hah.

[This ship is full of dorks, it's exhausting.]

Excellent, because I have a long list of recipes I've been waiting to try. Milk powder just isn't the same. Although- is cow milk very different from goat milk? I may have to adjust a few things...

[the_tailor]

Well, goat milk definitely tastes different. The only thing I've had it as, though, is like...goat cheese. Which is really good. But I've never baked with it or anything.

[tsunergy]

It can be tricky to work with, when it comes to flavour, but overall it's not bad. Most of what I made in the past was using goats, actually. I'd never even seen a real cow until the year before I arrived here.

[the_tailor]

Huh. Well, either way, we're gonna make this work! Baked goods for all!

[tsunergy]

Indeed. We can swap recipes as well as ingredients.

[He's kind of excited! There's nothing quite like having natural material to work with in the kitchen.]
