[ The video opens to... the ceiling? With a fair bit of commotion in the background. Voices can be heard near the vicinity of the shellphone, suggesting its user is nearby, before an irritated sigh booms from the side. ]

—Why's it such a big deal, anyway!? It doesn't matter!

[ The jostled device shifts as a hand seems to reach for the camera, only for it to be snatched away just as small fists attempt to clamp themself around it.

Another sigh, but this time from a much younger voice.

"Aw, don't be like that, dad! It's your birthday! Just lettem know!"

There's a loud "tsk!" that follows, and long white hair flashes across the screen before the scene moves again. Almost as if... he had climbed on something? Higher? The world below looks a little smaller, but with that clarity comes the beaming face of Moroha. Her half scowling, half smiling face indicting her motives quite clearly.

"It's a big deal! Tell'em or I'll do it for you...!" ]

H- hey! Back up! Don't touch that—

[ .... Annnnd a "thunk!" followed by the shellphone toppling to the ground as Moroha sweeps in and scoops it up.

"Haaaappy birthday! Make sure to say it to'em, too—" ]

Morohaaaaaa!!

[ Before more rustling and the feed cuts off— ]

I mean, it can be embarrassing but you're supposed to give the birthday person cake and gifts too.

[halfdog]

Guess you don't have to, but if you really cared about the person...

[ He grumbles under his voice, shaking his head. ]

But I'll never say no to free food.

[telepathicignorance]

What, you don't want people to embarrass you but think they don't care if they don't just do it anyway?

(They'll send a set of location coordinates.)

How about I meet you outside the bakery in question? It's not far from the docks.

(In case he can't figure out the coordinates.)

[halfdog]

Huh!? I... I don't know! Maybe!

[ now he's just being embarrassed all over again

but thank the gods because he was not good at coordinates. his face lights up a bit when the word "bakery" is spoken, and his tone will soften. ]

... Alright. I'll take ya up on this offer this time. But I ain't asking for hand outs! Only this one time, alright!?

[telepathicignorance]

Need me to sing the birthday song so you'll feel embarrassed enough to make it better?

Because I'm not going to do that.

(They really aren't feeling the kind of attention their horrible caterwauling would get right now.

Even if it would be really funny.)

Alright. Got any flavor preference? They do like, three different kinds of chocolate, vanilla, mango, coconut...

(They can pop over with their ring of returning and have the cake bought before he even gets there.)

[halfdog]

You better not even think about it!

[ He gawks, but grateful that Chris sounded like they were actually making a joke.

Do it and he'd punch you over the head, he swears- ]

Hmm... I dunno what any of those flavors taste like. Kagome use to bring from home something that was pink? Do you have pink flavor?

[telepathicignorance]

Oh I'm definitely thinking about it. About not doing it.

(Pink flavor? Well, there's only one pink option they care about.)

That's probably strawberry? They don't have big cakes in strawberry flavor right now, but I can get a couple of smaller ones instead?

(At least Kagome has good taste.)
