2nd Mistake; video

[Here is a cheerfully smiling Mahdi. He's holding up an obnoxiously cute kitten planner and looking cheerful.]

Hi everyone. I've been thinking. If we're all going to be stuck here for a long time, I figured I should find out everyone's birthday and if they have a favorite meal or type of cake. If you'd please respond to this message with your name, birthday, and a little bit about you, I'd really appreciate it!

On that note, I was thinking. If people keep turning up, we should have some sort of monthly event so everyone can get to know each other, introduce ourselves and catch up and celebrate one another's birthdays. Like a potluck, maybe? There are too many people to do do this at my apartment, so I'd need to figure out a spot. What do you think?

Oh, by the way. I'm Mahdi. I like cats, singing, and cooking. My birthday is Valentine's Day!

[sweet Jesus, that planner. what is this kid?] A quaint idea, to be sure.

[moralperil]

I'm hoping lots of people will be into the idea.

[This guy is yet another person who looks like nothing he's seen before. Mahdi peers.] What's your name?

[omg it's like a boy Madoka] Huh, it's you again. Guess some people would be into that kinda stuff.

[moralperil]

[Mahdi is 25% magical girl, 25% Carebear, 25% Cloud Cuckoolander and 25% MYSTERY.]

Everyone's into birthdays and cake. [hmph.]

WELL THERE'S NO HARM IN IT )

My name is Lorna. My birthday—it's June 17th.

A potluck could be a good idea, to make people feel more at home.

[moralperil]

[Hold on a sec he's totally pencilling in for next year.] Lorna... June 17th! [He looks over the result, pleased.]

Can you help me with a potluck, Lorna? I don't know much about this place yet.

[has_a_cult]

What's a birthday?

[moralperil]

It's a yearly celebration of the day you were born. You don't celebrate that?

[charming_jerk]

Are people really here that long? To really needs birthday parties 'n' all?

[moralperil]

People have been here a few months already. Someone's bound to have had a birthday. And it would be nice, you know... I figured it would be a way to get to know everyone.

If they can't send us back, then we need to try and make this place our home.

[totallytrustworthy]

Birthday parties, huh? Cute.

Are there going to be presents as well?

[moralperil]

Maybe! I don't think I could handle putting together more than a monthly thing for birthdays, but it'd be a great time to have your own exchange during your birthday month.

[deathwalker]

What's the point of this exactly? [And what do you get out of it?]

[moralperil]

I just want to get to know everyone! And it'd be nice if we could have one day a month where we all get together. If we can't go home, then we should start trying to make this place like home.

[howherolls]

...I can make the cakes, if you want.

[moralperil]

Oh, do you like to bake too? [So. Excited.]

What kind of cake is your favorite. Wait, let me guess. Is it German chocolate cake? Or maybe red velvet! Or is it coconut?

[healplz]

A fair idea, if you're willing to commit to so many celebrations.

[moralperil]

You'll come, won't you? If I get this thing organized, you'll stop by?

[square_cubelaw]

I think that sounds like a good idea.

A meet and greet sort of thing will at least keep us from having to wander the halls and hope someone's chatty.

[moralperil]

[Sorry what you're saying is very cool and he'll want to talk to you about that but right now--] --You're a robot!

[ex_symbioses706]

That's a great idea, Mahdi!

My name is Ranka Lee, I love to sing, and my birthday is April 29th!

[moralperil]

Nice to meet you Ranka! What sort of singing are you into? I was in choir for years as a kid, but they didn't like I couldn't read sheet music.

[ex_bandai157]

Valentine's Day? That's fitting.

[moralperil]

Isn't it? It's exactly the birthday I would've picked for myself! I just love Valentine's Day decorations, and chocolate, and the cards...!

[fintastic]

I don't have a human birthday, and I don't know how to convert my wriggling day to an Earth date. Can I make one up?

Re: video;

[moralperil]

Totally! That's what I'd do if I didn't come from Earth. [pause] Not that I did that!

[wrexy]

[Oh, he's seen this kid around his "assigned living space." Roommates. Something like that. Great] Hey, whelp. Don't invite people here.

1/2

[moralperil]

I said there wasn't enough space in the apartment! But I should be able to have friends over so long as they're not loud and don't make a mess.

[sacrificar]

Why is that information important?

[moralperil]

So I can wish you happy birthday on your birthday! And so I can get to know you!

[bratworth]

[ how can someone be so obnoxiously happy? ]

You forgot to add 'birthdays' to your list of likes.

[moralperil]

[He was born this wa-hay~]

...Oh, you're right! I guess it's more or less implied, though.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh! Oh! I know Barnaby's birthday! Want me to tell you? And then Chloe's too.

[moralperil]

It'd be best if they tell me, but I'll go ahead and take note just in case.

[He sort of suspects there's no way Chloe's is actually the 21st of every month. :| ]

[revelation]

What a great idea, I'm working on a cooking club so maybe we could help out.

But, um, my name is Madoka and my birthday is October 3rd!

I really like cats, singing, and cooking too! Even though I'm not that great at the last two, but I'm getting better at cooking. Hmm, my favorite colors are white and pink and I really like to draw. Oh! I'd also really like to take a trip around the world.

[moralperil]

There's a cooking club?! Sign me up right away!

[He grins, and starts writing down the pertinent info in his kitten planner.] Madoka... October 3rd... cats, singing and cooking, white and pink and drawing and traveling!

It's nice to meet you, Madoka!
