Okay, I'm just gonna be one hundred percent honest 'n tell you all why I'm gettin' drunk tonight.

[A big old grin, and yeah, maybe there're a couple empty glasses beside him. Or more than a couple. Obviously, he's getting started early tonight.]

It's my goddamned birthday. That's right, happy fuckin' birthday to me. Before anyone asks, I'm turnin' twenty four. I think. I mean, it's all kinda confusin' around here anyway, isn't it?

[He's just going to muse on that for a second before turning back to the camera and shrugging.]

Oh well, whatever birthday it is, it's mine. So come have a drink with me. Y'know you want to.

You sure you had the same birthday last year?

[ Judging by the glasses, who knows what's true and what's fuzzy at best. Seems like something he'd already know-- then again... ]

Last time I checked, they're the same day every year.

[Does Laruna show up as soon as she sees that video? Damn straight.]

[trenchknives]

[And he's damn glad to see her. He's waving enthusiastically as soon as she shows up.]

Hey!

[water_wine_wizard]

Hey you.

[She reaches over and gives him a kiss on the cheek.]

Happy birthday!

[trenchknives]

Thanks.

[He just grins at her, looking contented.]

You want a drink?

[water_wine_wizard]

Of course I do. When don't I?

And I brought something for you.

[trenchknives]

Well, I ain't gonna complain about that.

[He orders her a drink, just the same as what he's having, then turns back to her.]

So. What'd you bring?

[water_wine_wizard]

[She takes the drink from him.]

Some of my own stuff and a gift.

[trenchknives]

A gift? For me? That was nice of you.

[water_wine_wizard]

Why shouldn't have I? It's nothing really though.

[trenchknives]

Hey, if you were nice enough to think of me, it's definitely somethin'.

[water_wine_wizard]

I'm always thinking of you.

Well.. no.

But you know what I mean.

[She drops onto the couch and stretches out, taking another drink.]

[anunluckypenny]

So where're you celebrating? I mean, which bar? Just in case someone might want to show up.

[trenchknives]

I sure hope not. It'd be pretty borin' to think about me all the time.

[trenchknives]

Uh, well, I'm startin' at the Blue Light, but I could be convinced to go just about anywhere. Why, you joinin' me?

[water_wine_wizard]

I don't know about that...

[Wicked grin.]

[trenchknives]

Well, I guess you're right. Depends on what aspects of me you're thinkin' about.

[anunluckypenny]

I'm thinking about it. Do you have any idea when the last time I spent a Friday night out was? ...Trick question. I don't think I ever have.

[trenchknives]

You serious? No time better than my birthday, right? We gotta celebrate.

[water_wine_wizard]

Exactly.

{She waves him over.]

Come here. See what I got you.

[trenchknives]

[Obligingly, he gets up from his seat and heads over to her, looking curious.]

Okay, so what is it?

[anunluckypenny]

Alright. I'll see you soon, okay?

[Just as soon as she puts on a nice dress and a little makeup. Really, it doesn't take long.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[She hands him a box. It's no bigger than her palm. It's horribly wrapped. Clearly she is not the crafty type of person.

Inside the box is a silver pocket watch with a blue tint. The watch is transparent so you can see the gears ticking and turning as the hands go around the face.]

[trenchknives]

Okay. Sounds good.

[He'll be right here waiting. He's got nowhere else to be, and he's looking forward to seeing her.]
