[longwinded]

Who: John Egbert and vatheon
Where: At a Cafe.
When: Afternoon-ish.
Style: Starting in action, but will change to whatever style you prefer!
Status: O-P-E-N!


[Good afternoon Vatheon, have you been keeping up with your calenders? No? If not, a brief reminder that today is this young boys birthday! Yes we are speaking of one John Egbert. However, he has not mentioned his birthday to anyone. no big deal, he just wanted this piece of cake from this Cafe anyways, it's cool!

>John: Proceed to deal with Bakery workers figuring out it's your birthday, get extra sprinkles and a candle on your piece of cake.

He sighs. He only eats cake this time of year, can't deny Dad's cooking. So here he is, sitting by himself under a shaded table at this Cafe. Eating a piece of cake grossly decorated with sprinkles and a candle now. He wonders if Dave or Jade even remembered what today were. Not that he wanted to make a huge deal out of it or anything!

>John: Sit here alone and think about what a nice day it is, a little cold, but it's a nice day!

Please, come bother him. He can't eat this whole cake slice by himself!]

[Your name is DAVE STRIDER. You have spent a gratuitous amount of time not sleeping to figure out what you're going to do for John's birthday. There may be other reasons as to why you are not sleeping, but that's not the point. You also just spent a gratuitous amount of time trying to find one, JOHN EGBERT.

What the fuck man. Do you know how long it took him to find you? Not that long, but it's the thought that counts. Shut up.]

John, I know mimicking how awesome I am at the lone wolf shtick might make you think it'll make you cool, but you are not meant to be one. So how about we stop trying and get all friendly and buddy buddy, because I seriously just hauled major ass to find yours.

[He just pulls a chair up so he can sit across from John.]

[longwinded]

[Wow, through and through. You suppose you can count on Dave. Dave never forget many things- him showing up at this cutesy Cafe might have just been the thing you needed today. So here you guys are, sitting at this table.

It is your birthday, and Dave is here on your birthday!]

I just went out to get this piece of cake! [He tosses the candle. Yeah, like that's going to hide the fact that today is definitely your special day of the year!] Just had a craving for it I guess, and no, don't make any ironic jokes about me being a woman and getting pregnant, because that is not it.

[knightime]

Manning up to take on the diabetes layered into it? Your...[He trails off. That probably isn't something he should bring up.]

Woah, you're being way moody right now? What crawled up your pants today? I just went to look for you through this entire stupid underwater bubble and you're giving me major sass already. Did I somehow piss you off without knowing or trying? I mean, I know I do that, but I haven't been that incredibly jackass-like yet.

[longwinded]

Oh, I'm sorry Dave! I didn't mean to snap at you or anything! I'm just a little cranky is all. Didn't sleep very well last night you know. I've been thinking a lot lately.

[You have been thinking about DAD, and how much you miss him. Also how Dad used to make you countless birthday cakes. But no matter, your best friend Dave is here!] So what's up?

[fighting4afuture]

[Oh hey floating buddy.

...Trunks can't remember ever getting your name. That's okay. He's kinda distracted by the rather sizable plate of pancakes and breakfast meats he ordered and not dropping them as he makes his way to a table. (That is, a plate of pancakes *and* a plate of bacon and sausage. Both piled fairly ridiculously high.)

Saiyan appetites, man.

Once he sets the plates down though, he sees John and gives a little wave.]

Ah, hello.

[longwinded]

[John is delving into this huge slice of cake, because wow, he really hates cake and this is probably just for irony. That excuse would be applicable if he were Dave really.

Oh hey. Floating buddy. He waves back promptly.] I see you're feeling a lot better today?

[He was sick WEEKS ago, but that's okay. John is just strange. Very strange.]

[fighting4afuture]

[WHY DO YOU EAT IT IF YOU HATE IT.]

Yeah, definitely. Completely back to normal.

[Well, except for having some emotional trauma from the whole dad killed by dad-substitute because he was trying to kill you thing. Oh shenanigans. Hey, there's a candle on that cake!]

Special occasion?

[longwinded]

[LONG STORY BRO. He has "I miss my Daddy" issues. Completely unrelated to "John loves his Daddy". Because John does not swing that way.]

That's good to hear!

[...OH NO THE CANDLE. CHUCKING IT TO THE SIDE.] Not really no. No special occasions here!

[redcloakedthief]

[Sup sup sup.

Suddenly there's a thief peering over the slice of cake.]

Hey, this is a pretty nice slice! How generous of them.

[longwinded]

[SUDDENLY A PERSON? What the heck man, sneaking up on a dude is not the way things work.]

Well, I guess so! I really didn't want a piece this big. [:Ta]

[redcloakedthief]

[don't judge, don't judge.

He eyes it thoughtfully.

And then a fork appears from his hand from somewhere and he sticks it into John's cake and takes a bite.

Omnom.]

Is that better?

[longwinded]

[No judgement here! None at all!

...except for where did that fork come from, AND HEY YOU DOUCHEBAG.] Geez, you could have asked.

[sonlight]

[A young pup slides into the chair on the other side of the table and casually props his paws on the glass surface.

Dude.

Bro.

You gonna finish that cake?]

[longwinded]

[skdhfkjsdf is that a dog?! John is cutting a piece of the cake and laying it on the other side of the table.]

Did you want some too?

[sonlight]

Arf! [Nodding quickly, as it does look tasty and he wants to hurry the transaction along... But he's at least polite enough to wait and be told it's okay for him to eat.]

[longwinded]

It's okay, you can have it! I mean is that even good for dogs?

[He giggles a little, reaching across to pet the puppy.]

[frogs]

[SUDDEN HUG FROM BEHIND!]

Happy birthday, John! Hehehe.

uses this icon no shame yolo

[longwinded]

[SDKLFJKSDJFKSDf, what is with all of these hugs and surprises?!]

Thanks Jade! [He's just gonna be cute and hug her arms back.]

askjfhakdgj yes, good.

[frogs]

[because we luv u Joooooohn.

She giggles and rests her chin on the top of his head.]

Wow, is that cake you're eating?

[gorges]

[......

Really? Of course she's going to be pinged by food, no matter what. Except she just happens to be walking by, and sees the cake out of the corner of her eyes.]

What, someone threw up sprinkles on a birthday cake or something?

[How appetizing.]

[longwinded]

[Oh geez, more people. John is usually pretty outgoing, BUT NOT TODAY NOPE.]

Yeah, the local that works there thinks birthdays mean sprinkles. I mean, there's a shit ton of sprinkles on this.

[gorges]

[Yeah, well...people tend to come around when you least want them to.

Unfortunately.]

So it's your birthday, huh? Figured it was either that or you got out of a too-enthusiastic party.

Hi John!!

[Nepeta had wandered in looking for something to tide her over until her next meal, but even the prospect of sweets can't distract her from greeting her human friend as soon as she spots him!

And by greeting, she totally means randomly hugging out of nowhere.]

[longwinded]

[And down John goes again, right down. he is okay with this though. He was okay with people hugging him he guesses. He reaches behind himself to pet at her head.]

Hey Nepeta. [Would she want cake too...]

[bestestfurrend]

Oooh, that looks good! What are you having??

[Nepeta always wants cake. Always. But first there are head pettings to be had, and she rubs her head against his hand approvingly.]
