003- Happy (late) Birthday (video)

[renegadedriving]

[The camera is aimed up at Shepard from about waist height, implying that Monodramon is pointing it at her. She's examining the contents of the fridge when her digimon starts singing. Incredibly poorly.]

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to--

[Shepard turns abruptly and glares at the camera.]

Cadet, turn that off! My birthday was yesterday!

[Monodramon grunts and takes a step back when his partner tries to take the device from him.]

But Commander, you're turning 36! The internet said humans--

I said turn it off!!

[AND OFF THE CAMERA GOES.]

[Oh. Whoever is singing her a birthday song? Way better than her digimon's.]

. . . It's hard to be offended when the singer can actually sing.

Well, I am an idol, after all. I need to be able to sing, act, and dance!

[ she pauses, and then she remembers that not everyone here knows what an idol is. ]

I do this for a living, basically. I'm actually pretty famous, there's a lot of boys back home who would pay a lot of money for a birthday song like that, so I'm glad you're grateful.

[Shepard doesn't know what idols are specifically, but she puts it together pretty easily.]

You're good. Bet there are a lot of worried fans back home.

Yeah, I'm really letting them down right now. But there's not much I can do about it.

But I'm sure you want to go home too, so complaining to you about it would be pointless.

audio

[renegadedriving]

Hardly your fault. It's good you've got people waiting for you back home, at least.

There are... a lot of things I have to do, at home.

I hope we all get to go home soon.
