Anything more than thirty candles per cake would be ridiculous, but you'd need more than forty cakes to do it.

[And that's terrible.]

[slingshots]

44 cakes is doable if i get started now

[kingside]

Which flavors?

[slingshots]

i'm thinking... 20% chocolate, 40% vanilla, 35% ice cream, 5% mystery

[kingside]

For forty cakes, that doesn't seem like much variety.

[slingshots]

feel free to put in any suggestions
we folks in our advanced age aim to please

[kingside]

Angel food cake? Red velvet cake? Cheesecake? Coffee cake?

[slingshots]

no objections there
figure there's enough milk around for this?

[kingside]

It's difficult to say. If not, you could try spreading the celebration out over an extended period of time.

[slingshots]

a week long birthday wouldn't be awful i figure
you sound good at this

[kingside]

I was involved with planning and running events on my home world as part of my school's student council. It helped to break up the monotony.

[slingshots]

figure everyone needs a hobby
what about here?

[kingside]

I haven't felt the need to recreate that lifestyle in Exsilium.

[slingshots]

well sure here's to seriously hoping not
mostly i'm wondering what you felt the need for instead

[kingside]

In terms of hobbies? I tend to spend my time in the library. There are a lot of uncatalogued books.

[slingshots]

find anything good?

[kingside]

Here and there. A lot of it is difficult to follow, though. There are books from every world there.

[slingshots]

no shivin? sounds like i'm due a trip in

[kingside]

Try not to get lost when you do. I'd hate to have that on my conscience.
