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 really do not care so long as there is something not cake, sprinkles, or bubble-gum flavored.

[vrepit_no]

She'll like that one better anyway. You taking Pidge with? [The dragon. Not the sister.]

[tookashirototheknee]

[There's some minor mental grumbling.]

I'm just joking, Shiro, sorry.

... anyway, I'm going to stay up all night with Pidge anyway. So, uh... yeah. Sorry.

[triggerhappytraitor]

I think Hajime would be morally offended if there were.

[vrepit_no]

Yeah. There is that. [He has opinions, but he's... not sharing them right now. Too depressing.] I'm going to go make sure the room hasn't suffered an attack of the streamers while I was flying.

[vrepit_no]

Thanks, Jean. You really don't need to do that, though.

[bite_the_hand]

Wait, so they've had a few hundred years to fix this, and they still haven't figured this out!?

[vrepit_no]

Don't worry about it too much. This sort of stuff happens all the time at home. There isn't as much life and death involved. It's mostly just like. Cake with toy cars and nerf darts on them, or plenty of decor that's blue with white polkadots, in case I forgot I was a boy. It's all in good fun.

[He's resigned to it. He thought Matt had forgotten, what with the skipping yesterday.]

[vrepit_no]

[Why this, Thorne. Why u do this.]

[vrepit_no]

[Embarrassed noises like he's running his hands over his face.]

It's fine, I swear. I really should be used to this by now. But yeah, go spend time with Pidge. She needs you too.

[vrepit_no]

Thank all the bitty gods. Please tell me there's beer.

[claudiometer]

I'm not even sure how they worked out the planet's typical orbit ends after a quarter of a day most years in the first place.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Some of the canned stuff, yeah. Also some wine and sake.

He's out with Ryo at the moment, but I know where everything in his kitchen is. We'll find you something.

[vrepit_no]

That's perfect. Yeah, I'll be there in a few.

[claudiometer]

Probably a good call.

[thornsofmalkav]

Unless you're a pirate in Penzance.

[claudiometer]

Yeah, but he's not. He's a pilot in deep space.

[bite_the_hand]

Uh... Toy cars are for kids, so I'm guessing "nerf darts" are for kids too? ...What the hell do blue and white polkadots have to do with being a boy?

[Now he sounds even more confused than he did a moment ago.]

[otomechapilot]

Wow it sure is a good thing I have all this chocolate cake and cheesecake, what's a fourth birthday on the pile?

Though I hope you don't mind six candles on your slice, even if it's just Matt being a derp about February 29th.

[bite_the_hand]

...Good point.

[He pauses to think for a moment.]

I guess I can understand it getting left for so long. It's confusing and annoying but it's nothing life-changing for most people. So all of the really smart people were busy making things like electricity and hot showers, right?

[claudiometer]

You're probably not far off.

[She's just. Not gonna open the can of worms that is Daylight Savings.]

[vrepit_no]

You don't have that stupid thing where pink is for girls and blue is for boys? Color code your baby so everyone knows to get them balls or dolls?

[He is actually a little jealous, if that's the case. Just a tiny bit.]

[vrepit_no]

...You have chocolate cake? Like. Actual? Chocolate cake?

[Focus, Shirogane.]

No, seriously, it's not a big deal. I probably shouldn't be surprised that we have birthday candles in liminal space, but here I am.

[otomechapilot]

Chocolate cinnamon cake like Merry used to make, with actual proper chocolate frosting.

We have people with liminal shaping and who remember birthday cake candles, same difference. Bet we could find an actual chandler at the Resistance too.

[vrepit_no]

I don't know if I've ever had chocolate with cinnamon in it... That definitely sounds interesting! So where do I go to taste test this beautiful cake? And thank the chef?
