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'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.]

[ 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?

[ridestherider]

It's just white cake, but there are raspberry preserves and coconut between the layers, and the frosting is flavored with orange.

[powerisyours]

Can I eat it now, or do I have to wait for you?

[ mmmmight be drooling a little ]

[ridestherider]

[Laughing, and actually snapping a picture with her phone.]

You can eat it.

[powerisyours]

Yippee!!

[ SORRY NATSUMI YOUR CAKE IS BEING DECIMATED

he left you a decent sized piece though ]

[ridestherider]

[You are too cute, sometimes. She'll finish cleaning up while you decimate the cake, at least.]

[powerisyours]

[ at least this time I'm not a panda with food all over my face ]

[ridestherider]

[Very true.]

I take it it turned out well.

[powerisyours]

[ mouth completely full ]

'S 'elis'us!

[ridestherider]

Chew then talk, Jiu Wu.

[powerisyours]

[ SWALLOWING ]

It's delicious.
