[This post is super backdated to shortly after Tyki leaves Lavi's birthday party with a slice of cake. :)

The camera does not, in fact, open with a focus on Tyki's face. Rather, it's showing a picture of a nice-sized well-frosted slice of chocolate cake on a plate, with a fork resting alongside. Someone is singing, in a reasonable voice:]

Parabéns a você,
Nesta data querida...
Muitas felicidades,
Muitos anos de vida...

[The song trails off, and he laughs.]

This is delicious, by the way, compliments to the chef. The one bright side to this place is how many interesting things I get to eat! Kangaroo, cake... [Ill-gotten birthday cake...] ... and history. You know, they don't tell you that history is delicious.

[He laughs, and carries on with the song, though humming this time. It's to the tune of "happy birthday," by the by.

This carries on for about thirty seconds and then he gets tired of doing that and switches the video off.]

[Ok, ok, he'll bite.]

How do ya' eat history?

[phaseshifts]

Eating a dinosaur is just like eating history, or so I'm told.

[onehundredswords]

Hopefully that don't mean ya' ate someone right outta history.

[phaseshifts]

I'm not sure what important things a dinosaur could have contributed to the modern world, but you know, those bookish types...

[onehundredswords]

Not really sure to be honest; history ain't exactly my strongpoint.

[like really he just figures there's no point in learning about earth history]

People just keep sayin' they were important.

voice, filtered

[velveteened]

( he almost doesn't think to put a filter on this, nor consider any need, but considering what just happened... )

I'll come by to get the plate later, if it isn't too much of an inconvenience.

[phaseshifts]

Ah, it's yours? No inconvenience at all.

[velveteened]

Well, it's a little hard to keep track with all the fuss to set up for a party, ( AND ALSO THE FUSS YOU CAUSED BRO??? ) but I think so.

Aah, there'll be so many dishes to clean up, too...

[phaseshifts]

Shall I bring it by?

[Well, he sounds very normal now. Hardly liable to cause a fuss at all!]

[velveteened]

( in some ways he's actually less worried about tyki than the others, at least in terms of fuss-making )

No, no! I couldn't possibly ask you to when I can do it myself, especially not as one of the hosts.

[overclocking]

[Nah, this seems entirely legit.]

... Should someone be saying "happy birthday"?

[phaseshifts]

Not to me. This is a song for another lucky boy.

[overclocking]

Oh. That's nice of you.

I hope you didn't cut the cake without him, though. I've been repeatedly told how against the rules that is.

[phaseshifts]

I was late! Isn't that terrible? Lucky me, to get a piece anyhow.

[overclocking]

I'm sure there are worse crimes.

Besides, you probably made up for any faux pas with a... serenade?

[crocodilesmiles]

See, told you the chocolate was good! When's your birthday anyway?

huhu

[phaseshifts]

Who's this? Who's speaking to me so pleasantly. [ NO CANON BIRTHDAY HRP HRP]

[crocodilesmiles]

Mean Girl!

[phaseshifts]

Oh! Hello, mean girl. What a surprise.

[crocodilesmiles]

Yep! Though you still haven't said when your birthday is. I think your calendar is pretty similar to what they use here?

permavideo!

[the_human]

How can you eat history?

[And then, because he's curious about this too:]

What's a kangaroo taste like?

[phaseshifts]

A bit like beef, I suppose. You eat history when you eat a dinosaur.

[the_human]

You'd probably save a lot of time if you just said that. Did it taste good?

[phaseshifts]

But I wanted to say what I said. Considering it probably lived a life of terror, anyhow, I think so!

[the_human]

I guess. Hey, what's that song you were singing? It's about birthdays, right?
