A Belated Birthday - video and action options

video

[At least Keith knows how to keep a feed steady on his face. He's had a lot of practice at this. His voice is somewhat hushed, and he is in a darkened room, glancing back over his shoulder before he finally clears his throat and starts to speak.]

It was Lance's birthday on Sunday. And I totally forgot, and I think it might have hurt his feelings. So. [He takes a deep breath, glancing back behind his shoulder again.] I guess I'm going to throw him a late birthday party, so he stops sulking. Please, everyone, I could use some backup here. If you could just show up at the house this afternoon for a few minutes or something, that would be great. You don't have to know us. He'll just be happy to have people paying attention to him.

[There's some noise behind him, and he looks back again before standing up hurriedly and speaking in a hushed voice.] Okay, Keith out.


action

[Keith is pretty sure that Lance is aware that something is up, because he's been running around like a madman setting things up for what he hopes to be at least a decent little gathering. With luck, people have heard the message and will show, and that should help Lance feel a little better. Not that Keith cares, of course. He just wants his roommate to stop making snide comments.

By mid-afternoon, he's managed to set up a table with some food -- of questionable quality, but still edible -- and found a bot to play some music quietly. It's not like any sort of music he's ever heard, honestly, but it'll do the trick for now, hopefully.

Now to wait and pray that someone actually shows. Even better if they bring something with them.]

[Casually showing up around town was just a Thing Kiwi Did. Especially when it came to people in need, and a person whose birthday had been forgotten was definitely a person in need! They didn't have much they could give in material presents, but what they did have was their sweet sonorous voice, and that was always enough before.

Their first order of business was quickly finding Keith and asking him to point out the birthday boy, then they approached cheerfully.]

Hi! You're Lance, right?

[Aw! Whoever this person is, they're definitely adorable. Massive points in Lance's book. He smiles brightly at them and nods.]

Yyyyyyup, that's me! Thanks for coming by!

You're welcome! I have something for you! It's not much, but...

[They step back about half a step and clear their throat lightly before they start to sing.

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Lance,
Happy birthday to you!


[And they end it with a smile.]

[Oh...! Lance claps his hands together, grinning brightly. Definitely a great present.]

That was beautiful! Thank you so, so much. It means a lot to hear that.

[Oh those applause are like music to their ears. It always feels good to have one's music appreciated.]

It's the least I could do, I'm glad you liked it!

I did! You have an incredible voice, you know. Are you a singer back home?

Mmhmm!

[Even that sound of affirmation has a musical quality as they nod their head once.]

I'm a bard!

Ooooh. That sounds really fun! I love singing, honestly, even if I don't get to do it much anymore. I think I drove my team crazy with it at some point...

[Shrug. Losers, if they can't deal with Despacito a few times a day.

Memelord gonna memelord.]


I'd love to hear you sing more sometime.

[Kiwi laughs goodnaturedly at that.]

Miriam always got annoyed at me singing, too.

And I'd love to sing for you again sometime!

Pfff, Miriam should be grateful to hear such an amazing voice. [He laughs.] Awesome. Maybe we could sing together sometime, if we find something both of us know!

That sounds like fun! And we can teach each other songs we know! I'm a pretty fast learner when it comes to music.

I'd love to. I'm a pretty quick learner myself!
