[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.]

You wanna do a potluck, too?

Well, 'tis the season. It can't all be fried chicken, though. That's way too much chicken. Someone is gonna get a heart attack from it.

Oh, and happy birthday, Sir Chef of Demons.

[satanslash]

course not theres gonna be a lotta food not just chicken

more like a chef who is a demon

or you can just call me rin

[offshoots]

It sounds like a good party, then.

Anyway, it's your birthday. Is KFC what you want or are you just offering that because you think that'll bring the people to celebrate?

[satanslash]

honestly as soon as i was reminded of it i wanted it

its how we used to celebrate back home, but it we wound up having a different party on our 16th, and I completely missed my 17th, so its been a few years and i really missed it

[offshoots]

You usually get hungry for something when it's mentioned.

But everybody wins, I guess, in your case. How do you miss a birthday, anyway? Sleep through it?

[satanslash]

we didnt have power
or calendars
or phones or anything

someone else mentioned the date they thought it was like two weeks later and i realized it had come and gone

[offshoots]

What the hell? You're talking about KFC and there was no power, calendars, or phones? Were you stuck under a rock? A bad storm? Some kinda riot against life's small conveniences?

[satanslash]

the place I was BEFORE here wasnt HOME dingus
i lived sixteen years in japan before i got dragged to that shit place

1/2

[offshoots]

[Rin yeah he's just being stupid please]

Who're you calling dingus, kid? Like I knew that. Phones and power I get but we've had calendars since the stone ages.

i'm sorrydsglkjsd

[offshoots]

You got stuck in a shit place before this too, huh?

LOL its ok

[satanslash]

oh

sorry

yeah idk why there werent any calanders not even the people who were there before us left any it was weird

but yeah it was
well it didnt have a name we knew of before we all showed up so we took to calling it chroma village

which just makes being here even weirder when you think about it

[offshoots]

[......... he apologized.

what a good kid.]

Chroma to Prisma. Hah! Someone's got a funny sense of humor.
So, it was the lack of phones that made it shitty?

[satanslash]

[He's got a foul mouth and a bad attitude sometimes, but he does try to be good. Apologizing for a mistake on his end is the least he can do to that end.]

fuckin tell me about it

no
god no if it was just that i would have been okay with it

the place was totally abandoned when we got there
it was also completely without color
and all the food tasted like ash without color
the quests we had to do to bring color back to stuff helped a little but supplies were still limited
no power, no plumbing, had to cook everything with fire
sometimes there would be attacks on the town
other times we were expected to go out and kill shit in the forest
and the quests just got more and more fucked up
"bury someone alive"
"break up a relationship"
i think there was even one that was just straight up kill someone in town
i honestly thought we were all going to die there for good before we ever got out

[offshoots]

[...... hah. if that doesn't sound a little familiar....]

Yeah. Sounds like hell.
Sorry you went through that, kid. Nobody should have to.
At least you're out now, huh?
And there's enough color and life on this planet it'd make a mime cry.

So, where's the party?

[satanslash]

yeah its pretty blinding here

community center, on the 26th

[offshoots]

Gotcha.

Maybe I'll peek in and see if it's any fun. Right now, I've gotta run. Things to do, things to not do.
But a happy Belated 17th to you, too.

[satanslash]

well im gonna try to make it fun

thanks, see ya
