Birthday Planning! [locked to new hires][yes, all of them!]

[credit_not_blame]

Today is my birthday! Happy birthday to meeeeeee!

[Stacia clears her throat.]

After some serious thought and because this place is disgusting, I have elected to turn seventeen again. To that effect, please feel free to greet me in person with whatever seventeen-and-under age you like, especially where Jorg employees can hear so as to sow confusion amongst their ranks.

In case you didn't see the schedule, the Jorg put Bunny on a stupid off-Rig escort mission. Over Easter. We need to do something nice for him, any thoughts?

Suggestions for petty revenge that can't be traced back to us are also welcome.

[Petty vengence you say?]

We could make notes saying they're from random kids on the rig, talking about how mean Jorg is for not letting the Easter Bunny be here for them on Easter, put them in mailing tubes with colorful rotten eggs, address them to the higher-ups, and have Kokichi sneak them into the mailing room to be delivered.

Oh! And Happy 16th Birthday!

I'm coming to give you birthday noogies and I will show you no mercy.

What the hell. These guys are such dicks.

Whaaat if we like... I dunno I'm bad at this? Get him a nice brush? Like, fur can be such a pain.

Happy Birthday, Stacia! I hope that 17 treats you better this time around.

[pain_train]

Happy birthday, Stacia! I hope you have lots of fun even though it sucks here.

What are your favorite colors?

[bringinghopewithme]

Happy birthday indeed. What flavor of fruit filling do you want in your gift?

[tr1xx]

Happy birthday! Totally gonna greet you with a different age every time I see you anywhere for maximum confusion.

I will fight you!

[She says it with a playful grin and absolutely no sense of "do not" though, to make it clear that this is a playful rejoinder, not a warning that Kenzie would be overstepping her bounds to do so.]

[credit_not_blame]

Thank you, Robbie! I hope it does too.

[credit_not_blame]

I will do my level best!

I'm a big fan of pink, actually! Something somewhere in the range of "Barbie" to "fuchsia". Vivid, "fuck the patriarchy" pinks.

Thank you, Bunny!

Would raspberries be too much trouble?

[credit_not_blame]

That's the spirit! Thank you, Cammie!

[Stacia mulls this over.]

I think the eggs might be taking it a little far for our cover, as appropriate as it would be. But anonymous notes in crayon might work.

And hey, if Kokichi can sneak smelly stuff besides eggs into the ventilation system, I wouldn't say boo.

They super are. I hope something throws up in their shoes and they don't notice until they put their feet inside.

That's a good thought. I'm not sure where we'd gets a brush though. I was thinking we could do something nice for him, since our ability to go shopping is limited.

[kingofneworleans]

Joyeux anniversaire, petite.

[And it feels so good to be able to do that again. Speaking his mother tongue and having his accent back and the eyes. He's just...not going to make a big deal of it.]

So. Stayin' un'er eighteen, yeah? Can do dat.

[myagents]

Jorgmund employees are not in a position to voice such complaints if they don't mind ripping people away from their timelines. Happy fourteenth birthday, miss Novik.

[Is it supportive? Passive aggressive? Enticed at the idea of confusing someone? Trying to go with the flow? You never know with Price. He might not know either, but he's glad to see a kid doing kid stuff undisturbed.]

[kingofneworleans]

Hmm. Can't say as I have any particular ideas m'self, but you need anyt'in' hidden 'way for somebody to fin', I'm more dan happy to help.

[credit_not_blame]

They really, really can't.

[Stacia had given Price permission to view this post mostly as a test, to see if he'd play along or if he'd make sure the Jorg knew that she was eighteen. It's a relatively small secret, not really worth betraying, but Stacia never stops asking questions.]

Thank you for the good wishes!

[fromfryingpantofire]

Given everything around here, I wouldn't mind turning seventeen again, myself.

Happy birthday, Stacia. Let's hope for better next year or you might be seventeen for a while.

[trialbyliar]

[Aaaand here's Kokichi, making a theatrically exaggerated expression of dismay.]

It's like you all think I'm some kind of vandal!

[pain_train]

Oh that's so cool! Pink is my favorite color, too. Especially those kinds of pinks! And sparkly ones, too.

It's so awesome to meet someone who finally gets how cool pink is!

[credit_not_blame]

I have faith in your skills, Kokichi!

[credit_not_blame]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Happy 17th birthday, then.

[His brows furrow a bit.]

...although now I'm wondering what would happen if I started telling them I'm 5.
