Happy 19th Birthday!

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.]

[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.

[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?

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

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.]

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

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

[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.

[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.

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

What manner of creature is that?

[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.]

[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.

[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.]
