Somewhere around 2/28 to 3/1

I would like everyone to join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Liminal Space's best six-and-a-half year old, Takashi Shirogane!

Happy birthday, dude. If I could make things, I'd make you a cake.

... I hadn't thought of that.

Knowing my luck, she probably will. We, uh, haven't really thought about the ceremony yet. But... yeah. It's been a long time coming, really.

Tachibana... I was in college, wound up pretty popular there, and then was on a mission with two trolls, and then in a castle with four teenagers bored out of their skulls.

...You tell me how often it comes up. Also, since it's basically between two days, I usually get it on the 28th and the 1st. He's late this year.

[tookashirototheknee]

Thanks. I'll bring my blanket.

[vrepit_no]

We'll see. Depends on how many people start giving me toys.

[starshaper]

[Because she can't help it.]

Don't worry, you'll still learn the real way to cook faster than me since I doubt I'll learn it in my whole lifetime. But relying on people like that especially on a day like this sounds great!

I hope you'll have amazing birthday time where you'll be surrounded by many wonderful people!♥

[vrepit_no]

...Huh?

[rustyhonesty]

That sounds inconvenient and silly. Though I guess that can't be helped if the ... if that happens that way.

[vrepit_no]

Well, I mean... I can't exactly reach your parents. It seemed like a good alternative. And I wanted to make sure you weren't going to like. Hate us for it for some reason.

[It made sense in his head, he swears.]

I do not have enough facepalm icons my god

[smol garbled noises]

[tookashirototheknee]

Hey, there. I'm the only person who should be giving you that.

[rustyhonesty]

That age makes a lot more sense. Joking about it seems kinda unfair, though, since you didn't decide to be born that day.

Well, it's not like I decided to be born a horse face either...

[claudiometer]

It's your birthday and that does matter.

[verdeleonessa]

Hey, it's okay. I understand. But now you don't need to be nervous. I'm totally cool with it.

[vrepit_no]

Oh no. I have learned my lesson about kitchens. I can do things which involve boiling water, usually, and things out of a can. Scrambled eggs and bacon. So long as I'm not distracted. I don't do anything more complicated than instant ramen. It's just a bad idea.

But thank you, ma'am. I'm sure Matt has something planned.

[verdeleonessa]

Yeah, it'd be great if we could tell him and mom... but I know they'd just be happy for you two dorks.

[vrepit_no]

Yeeeeeah. Well, that's pretty much how it goes. Every year. So. I'm used to it.

[bite_the_hand]

...And I thought it was bad that you have to be eighteen to be treated like an adult in most worlds. How do people born on this Leap thing manage to get anything done?

[Eren heard the explanations of what a Leap Year is. But he's also now under the impression that Shiro really is "officially" six and is legally treated as such.]

[vrepit_no]

Heh... Thanks. I um. I'm planning something more formal than what actually happened, but I'm doing some prep for it first. If that means anything.

[tookashirototheknee]

Yeah. I know Dad would be over the moon, over all the moons, really, and Mom would just... mom at Shiro.

[There's a tiny hint of sadness in his voice.]

[claudiometer]

Usually by marking their birthday to either side of the 29th, in years when the date doesn't exist. Chronological age is more important than actual celebrated birthdays for legal purposes.

[vrepit_no]

...I dunno. It's just another year. But I guess at least it's one more closer to wearing this white without looking like an edgy emo kid. Or a grandpa.

I'll take your word on it. [[Since all the standard jokes around him in college involved food and his coworkers think he's far too serious to even joke around him, he really has no comparison. But he's getting an idea just from the giggling in this post]]

Did you want to get a drink? You sound like you need one.

[vrepit_no]

Not the star blanket - that's mine

[vrepit_no]

Please.

[It shouldn't be able to sound like he has his head in his hands, and yet.]
