[ There's a little bit of fiddling around with his tablet. In fact he's not even looking at the screen for a good fifteen seconds as the video records his dumb face, before he finally looks up and gives it a bright and cheery grin! Gonna keep positive despite all the recent going ons of this place. ]

Well hello there, folks! It's been some time since I made one of these public announcements. Er, do they count as announcements? I suppose they are announcements of sorts. Can't say I've had much of a reason to, but it's been--

[ Looking back down at the tablet for another few quiet seconds. ]

Egads! Has it really been that long? I see it was with Miss Lalonde. What I wouldn't do to see that gal again. She'd know how to liven up the moment.

Which reminds me why I booted up this old computer in the first place. In light of recent incidents it might seem rather inappropriate to ask such a questions, but I do feel rather chagrin even bringing the whole thing up! But I'm looking to procure myself a cake, and possibly a few party goers if anyone's interested. You see today's date happens to be a personally big one for yours truly. Seems today I've not only made it to the ripe old age of seventeen, but I've reached my first full year here in this particular universe. Like a grim anniversary of sorts, but just because the occasions grim doesn't mean it can't be treated as an occasion to celebrate!

[A broad grin.]

Happy birthday, Jake!

Thanks, Ahiru! I do appreciate the well wishes.

If you do have a party, you've gotta tell me when it is, okay?

[gunsling]

I'll be sure to do just that! Just need to get all the kinks worked out and the cake cooked up first.

[fintastic]

Why didn't you tell me you needed a cake? What kind of cake?

video

[gunsling]

It slipped my mind until this very moment! But oh boy, that's a doozy of a question. Any kind of cake would work for me at the moment.

It's a shame Janey isn't here, I'm sure she'd be able to whip something up that'd impress anyone that got a gander and a taste before I even thought to ask for it.

[fintastic]

Yeah, but what flavor? Do you like chocolate, or vanilla, or something else? I don't know if we can get anything too fancy on short notice, but I could whip something together!

I think we all miss the elder Ms. Lalonde. I shouldn't be relied upon for [anything] cake but I'd be happy to help with anything else you need if you're really going to host a party.

[Video]

[gunsling]

That's real swell of you, Kanaya! I suppose I'll need a spot to host this little get together I'm trying to throw, so if you've got any ideas of a good spot for that I'd be open to suggestions.

--I don't think there's any particular location more suitable than a VR room, activated or not, because you are not using the transporter for such an endeavor under any circumstances. If you choose to use the technology of the space I can help you with the virtual architecture, I've done this a few times before.

Happy birthday, Jake. It may be hard to obtain items for a party on such short notice since supplies are limited. However, I would be happy to celebrate with you if you'd like.

six ever, even!

[gunsling]

That's what I was worried about, but thanks, buddy! Once I think up a suitable location I'll be sure to let you know where the meet and greet is going down.

no no let's go for the elusive seven ever

[pomerenian]

Usually people plan ahead for parties. Did you only just remember today?

[notpeterparker]

It's your birthday? Well, I hope you have a very happy birthday then!

video

[gunsling]

Thank you kindly! It seems to be off to a good start. Well, actually I went through most of the day without realizing it was even the first to begin with, but now that I've realized today is my birthday everything seems to be going swimmingly.

[notpeterparker]

Wow, that'd be really unfortunate if you forgot your own birthday! I'm glad it's going well for you though.

[reassures]

I could make a cake for you if you would like.

[gunsling]

Boy that sure is sweet of you to offer, but I believe Feferi's planning on tossing some things together for me. However, despite the old saying about too many cooks in the kitchen I've always thought the more the merrier and invite you to come down to the kitchen and join the two of us in a little pre-party baking romp.

[reassures]

[...You know, that. Actually sounds really nice. She knew there was a reason she had a soft spot for kid's like Jake.]

I'd like that. When are you going to the kitchen? I can meet you there.

Party!!

I could most certainly be of utmost and very partying company during this most needed time for guests at a party.

[gunsling]

Thanks, chum! I'd hate to think this party might go unattended, so it's good to hear there are people interested in the event. It'll be helped in the VR room just as soon as we get the whole place setup properly.

[sits up from his spot and peers at the camera, shaking it just a bit when he moves in to adjust.]

There's enough Loki for a whole party! Worry not!

[knightofcourage]

Count me in! Happy birthday. I'm sorry that it had to be here, but...it is another year.

[Video]

[gunsling]

There's no need to apologize for that. There are worse places it could have been, [ probably ] and at least I've got good friends around me to celebrate with. Though, er... I do need to figure out what time we'll be throwing the event. There's a matter of getting the VR room set up properly and a cake cooked to party perfection.

[Video]

[knightofcourage]

Well...I can help with the cake.

[It'll sure beat that time someone asked him to make two hundred of them.]
