[Greetings, Lunatia! Here is a dumb boy.

Well, okay, his purpose for being here is not a dumb one. It is food related, though, which seems to fall second only to pet posts and questions of a sexual nature.

But food is generally a universally enjoyed thing.

Except for robots. Sorry, Penny.]

Hey everyone. So uh. My birthday is comin' up!

[He tries to smile, but it comes out rather hollow looking and fades after a second. He rests his chin on his hand with a sigh.]

I know I haven't been the most uh-- ... I mean. I don't know many people here still, so if anyone is like "who cares, it's some random punk's birthday" I totally get that. But uh, I figure I can at least offer somethin'?

Is it weird to do that even though it's my birthday? Eh...

I-it's... my birthday, I mean, it's two days after Christmas. That's the big winter holiday where I'm from. I was talkin' to someone else a while ago about how there's no KFC here, and that's where people in my country usually get their Christmas dinner from. It's a whole weird tradition...

[That's besides the point, though.]

Anywaaaaay, I can't make fried chicken exactly like KFC but I've tried a coupl'a times in the past week and gotten it super close, so I wanna try makin' a whole bunch for anyone who really misses it, or really wants to try it. I figure we could meet up at the community center for a... a potluck thing? If... anyone is even interested...

[Potlucks also seem to be somewhat popular here. He might be piggybacking off of too many of them, and he's all awkward and anxiety about doing this at all. He hasn't looked directly at the camera much during this, fiddling with his ear, his shirt, his hair.]

Or maybe just show up, eat all the chicken and bounce. I can't even really be mad if that happens...

[This is getting sad. He's just going to turn the feed off.]

Oh, uh. 27th. Christmas is the 25th.

[taketheblame]

Got it. I'll be there on the 27th, then.

In the meantime, if a random punk with no friends needs someone to hang out with, go ahead and let me know whenever.

[Your words, not his, nerd.]

[satanslash]

26th, actually. Put it between the two.

[A late Christmas party, an early birthday party, works out best for everyone it seems.

And yes, he is a nerd.]

Y'sure you wanna hang out with a sadsack like me?

[He's joking now, grinning as he says it.]

[taketheblame]

Got it. [Since the 25th isn't a significant day for Yuri, it doesn't matter which day it is, really.]

I dunno, you don't look that sad to me any more. You must really love chicken.

[satanslash]

[Rin shakes his head.]

I like sharin' food with people.

[taketheblame]

Heh, then you cheered yourself up. Good job.

[Getting excited about cooking suits him a lot better than moping, besides.]

[satanslash]

[Shush you.]

Hey, other people helped. This wasn't all me.

[taketheblame]

[never gonna shush]

It was your idea, though, wasn't it? You made the decision to reach out, so give yourself some credit.

[satanslash]

[Well you should!!!]

I guess I have gotten better about that. Dunno what the hell I'm doin' but it's workin' anyway.

[taketheblame]

Just keep figuring it out as you go. You'll be fine.

[satanslash]

Yeah. That's probably all I can do, really.
