happy birthday magicboss

[Whenever you come back to the lab, Natsumi has the place all decorated and nice -- string lights and little paper lanterns, with a few things moved to accommodate an (already set up) table and chairs and everything. She even went to some effort to look nice. Birthdays should be special, after all.]

That sort of feels like it'd be an abuse of power.

[ridestherider]

I'm the wrong person to ask, I don't really have any.

And what I do have I abuse to keep the people I live with from destroying everything in sight.

[powerisyours]

Ah, well. No use in worrying about it now~

[ridestherider]

I'm sure they'll get over it someday.

[powerisyours]

I suppose we'll just have to see.

[ nomming down the rest of his food and reaching for more . . . then pausing ]

Have you taken what you want?

[ridestherider]

Oh, I was way ahead of you there. The rest is yours.

[powerisyours]

Great! I want to see what the something extra is.

[ Might be losing his manners a little here and just reaching for the serving dishes so he can eat straight off of those ]

[ridestherider]

Don't get too excited; when I told you that you'd have to wait I meant it.

It might not even be here until after vacation, depending on how Camp chooses to do things.

[powerisyours]

Oho~? How so? Something that fantastic?

[ridestherider]

I'm not telling~.

[powerisyours]

That's no fair, Natsumi. What if I forget about it between now and then? Or I die waiting?

[ridestherider]

If you forget, it'll be an even bigger surprise. And I'm not going to let you die waiting.

[powerisyours]

Cheater. Dirty cheater.

[ridestherider]

Some things take time.

[powerisyours]

[ beaming ]

I'm only joking, Natsumi. I'll wait as long as necessary.

[ridestherider]

Good, because you're not getting it until it's done and delivered.

[powerisyours]

Now I'm all excited.

[ridestherider]

I hope it lives up to expectations.

[powerisyours]

If it's from Natsumi, I'm sure it will.

[ polishing off the rest of this food ]

[ridestherider]

Let's hope.

[Clearing dishes so she can serve up cake.]

[powerisyours]

[ KID IN A CANDY STORE he's waiting with knife and fork in hand ]

[ridestherider]

[This cake looks like it took some serious effort, and you even get candles.]

Happy Birthday.

[powerisyours]

[ beaming and waiting until you're seated again before blowing out the candles ]

Thank you, Natsumi.

[ridestherider]

You're welcome.

[Here, I even have plates.]

[powerisyours]

It smells delicious. What's in it?
