[Video] ♞ Fire Cross II

[knightfan]

[ On the feed is a smirking Impmon. He clears his throat loudly and, holding up a piece of paper to the camera, he majestically declares: ]

Attention human boys, girls and Digimon! Today is a very special day. It's someone's birthday and it's supposedly human tradition to give 'em cakes and other sweet and delicious confections on their birthday, right? Right! So! As you're all such kind people, you should leave this guy some cake. His name is Squall Leonhart, for the record. Just... leave it outside his door, okay? Floor 02, room 008. It's across from 007 in case you can't find it! You don't have to knock, just leave it there and he'll get it!

What the hell are you doing, you dumbass pixie?

Uhhh... like I said, room 007! Lots of cake! Otherwise he'll never smile and you guys don't want that, right?!

[ The feed cuts out... which probably saves the younger viewers from having to see Impmon get knocked upside the head for being a nuisance and trying to con people out of cake. ]

[ At first he was a little surprised, not because someone was doing something for his birthday, but because it was his birthday. When did that happen? But that slowly morphed into being annoyed. Only one person besides him knows his birthday here which means SOMEONE must have been blabbing. ]

Seifer. I will murder you. And your little imp too.

[knightfan]

[ Impmon is nowhere to be seen. Because Seifer is sitting on him while he thinks of what he can do to discipline the little bugger. ]

Yeah, I'm shakin' in my boots. Look, ya dumbass, I didn't have anything to do with this.

[ ... ]

Well, I mentioned it this morning but it ain't like I asked him to draw a hideous picture of you.

[Video]

[innermonologues]

The fact that you told him is reason enough.

[ Pauses ]

He can't spell either. Do something about that.

[knightfan]

Just because we're here now doesn't mean I'm suddenly gonna start takin' orders from you. Ain't my fault you're embarrassed and it's not like I marked today on my calendar. He doesn't even plan on letting you have any of the gifts your friends might leave, so everyone'll forget about it by tomorrow.

[hellspawnedhero]

Birthday, huh? I dunno, guy doesn't seem the sort to have much of a sweet tooth.

Cute things probably work better!

[knightfan]

[ Sittin' on Impmon while he thinks of a punishment. ]

Why are you actually even considering gettin' him anything?

[hellspawnedhero]

Why not? Met 'im a couple times, got a stick up his ass but he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy.

*And he reminds him of his brother a bit...*

He was very nice to me.

[knightfan]

[ Snrk. Well, it's a pleasant thing to hear someone say Squall isn't their knight in shining armor.... ]

Yeah, well that doesn't even count. You're a Moomba, practically a full-fledged lion cub; of course he's gonna be nice to you.

[filtered to Squall]

[scratchitti]

You can hide out at my place if too many people start showing up. I won't narc.

[He knows how... handsy people can get here when you have a birthday bro]

[filtered to Squall]

[innermonologues]

I doubt anyone is going to want to "give Skwall" any cake.

[scratchitti]

Dude, I thought the same thing and like, 10 people showed up intending to feed me.

[innermonologues]

You're more likable.

[wall_flower]

[Because Marley doesn't know the best way to get in touch with Squall, she'll just sing here. Hope no one minds~]

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Squall!
Happy birthday to you!

[knightfan]

[ . . . ]

You actually know him?

[Video]

[wall_flower]

We talked once and he came to get me when the Data Stream sent me to Server.

[She blinks.]

Is it...bad that I know him?

[Video]

[knightfan]

Oh, so he does leave his room on occasion. And it ain't a bad thing that you know him. I'm just surprised he's got a woman singin' happy birthday to him.

[Action]

[fullofthorns]

Room 007. Room 007. Room double oh sev--Ah! There we go.

[ humming to herself, Roze stands in front of the apartment door, arching a brow at it thoughtfully. She didn't bother calling ahead to see if Squall would be in his room - he'd want to avoid her like the plague. Best to just show up unannounced! ]

*knockknockknock*

[Action]

[knightfan]

[ There's a faint thud inside followed by a muffled: "Oh, come on! It's probably a guest for yooou!" with a "tch" in a response. A few moments after that, Seifer finally pulls open the door. ]

Yeah?

[ Please don't have cake please don't have cake. Or gifts. Why—and how—did Squall make so many friends?! ]

Re: [Action]

[fullofthorns]

Huh. You ain't Squall...

[ Roze stands there at a towering six foot, plus four with her stiletto heels. Sucking her teeth briefly, she clucks her tongue and cranes her neck to the side, looking past Seifer. Frowning, the pink-haired girl arches a brow and leans forward, face inches from Seifer's own. ]

You're better looking. Not the point. Where is the gloomy shit? I owe him a birthday present. [ She drawls, sharp canines flashing in a malicious grin. ]

[heartdive]

Happy birthday!

[knightfan]

Not you, too.

[ He's gonna murder Impmon... and maybe kick himself later for mentioning Squall's birthday offhandedly with Impmon around in the first place. ]

Guess you two are true blue friends, huh?

[heartdive]

If it really is his birthday, then shouldn't I wish him a happy birthday?

[headup_stickontheice]

[Look, Seifer, it's one of your dumbasses.] Ohm, ah... What's he like? Like, present-wise.

[Video]

[knightfan]

[ His favorite dumbass! ]

His deepest desire is to run wild in a lion suit and hang out with all his lion friends.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

You're really not going to tell me, huh?
