subjecting dear-mun to this since I didn't get to do it in my old game

[yankovic]

Heh heh! Happy birthday to me!

... OH MY GOD! You almost forgot?! You said you'd remember! 68 isn't something you shrug at! And 95 in 2015? That's pretty damned impressive for an old man!

Hmph. Anyway! So what do I get?

Ya get the pleasure of bein' alive despite yer best efforts ta the contrary, berk.

[yankovic]

That's a given on birthdays.

[spacedragonmonk]

True.

Clearly the best solution is ta break out the good stuff and have a night 'bout it.

"Uhhh..." Koishi blinked. "I have a plum in my lunch that grew in old hell. A goddess visited and planted the tree so they're flawless and sweet and absolutely divine!" Literally apparently.

"Also, I have some riceballs, some roasted meat-" Considering she was a youkai he probably didn't want the meat. "-steamed vegetables... oni sake! That's a rare thing for a human to have right? you can have a sip. A big human like you could probably take a small dish of it without dying but a sip is just fine for now."

"Also, sis made me some taffy. I have that too. It's actually flavored with the tiniest bit of sake too instead of salt. It's perfectly safe for humans."

[yankovic]

Uh. [he has literally no clue have to respond to any of that so cue the ihavenoideawhatimdoingdog.jpg] I wouldn't mind... taffy. I guess.

The little youkai reached into her pocket and pulled out a little drawstring bag, taking out a piece of candy wrapped in wax paper. She certainly appeared out of nowhere with her glowing green eyes and strange blue sphere- actually it resembled a closed eye- that hovered around her. Likewise the cords that were connected to it floated loosely around her and connected at her ankles.

"Here you go~" She held the candy out to him. "Birthdays are really really special Mister. Especially for humans since you don't live that long."

Getting a little old for presents.

[yankovic]

I'll have you know my daughter got me a watch for my sixty-sixth.

You're never too old, Lorne.

[sliceofapple]

Just seems like you'd be up to your ears in watches and other crap by now.

But happy birthday.

[barebacking]

And you continue to age with such grace.

Perhaps, you should receive something golden for your birthday.

[yankovic]

Golden?

[barebacking]

Me.

Am I not the best prize to receive?

[starwhore]

Man, you are old.

[yankovic]

And still kicking, you little shit.

[starwhore]

Just because you're an creepily huge muscled old man doesn't mean I'm little, Joe.

... are you still ripped when you're 95 too? Cause THAT would be weird.

[yankovic]

[Huh.

So this is interesting. Joseph's quiet for a moment (mostly from looking at the Zeppeli family resemblance) before a wide smile spreads across his face.]

Signor, eh? Caesar and I really were the rebels of our families. [He laughs.] Nothing's too late when a bottle of wine's involved!

[trickstar]

At least your mun made a post or something for your birthday!! Mine's been ignoring me for days!! ON MY BIRTHDAY!! TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!

...So I can't really blame her. I'd be doing the same.

[yankovic]

Seriously?!

[beat]

... I guess I would too.

[arealgentleman]

It is pretty impressive consider what you have put yourself through.

[yankovic]

What, on purpose?

[HE'S GOT A FEELING THERE'S A DOUBLE MEANING IN THAT]

[dorarara]

You're still expecting something at your age?

[SERIOUSLY?]

[yankovic]

Ninety five is a big deal!

[WORTHY OF PRESENTS
USUALLY IN THE FORM OF UGLY GRANDPA SWEATERS]

[fartsonyourface]

[That would be more impressive in dog years, you shit.

Iggy is probably thinking something along those lines. He of course only uses the word shit affectionately when speaking to those of his past on earth he feels a bond with. Totally.

Chillin on a pillow that looks like a cloud from doggie heaven, Iggy groans in annoyance.]

Grawrr...

BLESS

[yankovic]

[Probably.

By now Joseph's used to the way the dead spring up around here. It's hard not to grin when he squats down to look at Iggy on that pillow. Much of a shit as he's fully aware Iggy is, he's always liked dogs.]

Is that a happy-birthday-to-me or do you just want gum?

[Latter. Probably.]
