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!

[moralperil]

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

[sacrificar]

You consider that necessary?

[moralperil]

I do. The Initiative might think everyone they brought here is nothing but a soldier in training, or a weapon. There's value in proving them wrong.

[sacrificar]

Value...

Interesting.

[Well played.]

[moralperil]

Um... thanks?

[sacrificar]

[yep, just a quiet nod.]

[moralperil]

I'd like to add your name and birthday to the list.

[sacrificar]

My name is Tier Halibel.

I have no birthday.

[moralperil]

Tier - that's pretty!

Do... do you have some other day you'd like to celebrate instead of your birthday? I don't want you to be left out!

[sacrificar]

A day to celebrate?

I have none.

[... yep.]

[moralperil]

Oh. [His face falls a little, but lights right back up with an idea.] I could help you pick a special day!

[sacrificar]

It's not necessary.

[moralperil]

I'm not doing this because it's necessary!

[sacrificar]

You are insistent in this matter.

[moralperil]

Yup. I'm pretty stubborn when it comes right down to it. [smiling] So do you have a day that's special to you I could mark down as your birthday?

[sacrificar]

I don't.

[y e p...]

[moralperil]

Oh.

Well, um. If you decide to change your mind, you should contact me.

I could put together a fun birthday for you.

[sacrificar]

A fun birthday?

[moralperil]

Yeah! You know, we can sing happy birthday and you can get a cake and blow out candles and get presents and play games! It'll be so fun to do those things with someone who's never gotten to before!

[sacrificar]

Everything I need, I already have.

[god halibel, way to be a downer.]

[moralperil]

That's wonderful! Most people are always thinking about what they have to get next instead of being happy with the blessings they already have. Just means we'd have to have a really fun party! You can never have enough new experiences.

can't beat his optimism

[sacrificar]

As long as the experience is worthwhile.

[moralperil]

[This is Mahdi giving a very, very serious look.]

...Fun with friends is always worthwhile. [And then a smile!] Okay?

[sacrificar]

Friends.

[Yeah she doesn't have too many of those.]

[moralperil]

That's the whole point of a party. To spend time with friends and make new ones.
