HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[vrdr_mods]

[Visitors to the Velvet Room are in for an unusual sight.

Gorb balloons. Streamers. Banners that not only read, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GORO AKECHI! but also...

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FRIENDSHIP!

This particular banner has cutesy illustrations of a normal Akechi and Falcon. Yes, really.

There are multiple, multi-layered cakes. One is an angel food cake, decorated to resemble Robin Hood. Then there's another cake, fashioned after Loki, with lovingly decorated dazzle camouflage frosting. Inside is a heavenly red velvet.

Lastly, there's a purely chocolate delight, patterned after Hereward.

There are even little Gorb cupcakes, designed to look like the myriad Akechis resident in the Velvet Room. Fresh brewed coffee and Jazz Jin mocktails await those who seek a beverage, and there's even some curry. How thoughtful!

So... care to mingle?]

Raven approaches with a smile when he spots the familiar face. It's always good to see him out and about. "Ah, Jay. How are you today?"

[fledglingcrow]

He smiled at the boy. "Good, thinking about bringing cupcakes back to Ken." There's plenty anyways. He thinks Ken would laugh at them.

"Happy birthday, to us, I guess," he laughed.

[fogboundcrow]

"I'm still going to have my own celebration later, but... I can't exactly turn down free refreshments." He chuckles right back, eyes on the cupcakes. "But yes, happy birthday to you as well."

[fledglingcrow]

"So you get to be fancy and have your own party do you?" He teased.

"I wonder where the orb version of us came from."

[fogboundcrow]

"Well, I'm sure no one would object if you do the same." His smirk only sharpens... At least for a moment.

The talk of the... ugh, Gorbs, gives him pause.

"Frankly, I'm not sure I want to know whose twisted mind concocted those orbs."

[fledglingcrow]

"I think they are cute. Look just a round little guy." he said holding one up. It was quite fun to tease Raven.

He may have his own party, but since he wasn't as popular it would probably just be him and Raven, and Ken.

[fogboundcrow]

"And then you remember that they're food." He snorts, eyeing the innocent, frosted faces. "Rather a morbid treat. But then, the same can be said of Easter candies or chocolate Santas..."

[fledglingcrow]

"Yeah, there's always things like this. Eating people seems to be something people are a fan of. Since it's us, it makes sense to be us."

[fogboundcrow]

Um.

Raven blinks, staring for several moments. "...I realize you're referring to food in the likeness of living things, but for a moment I thought you were referring to cannibalism."

Said with such a cheery smile, too.

[fledglingcrow]

He looked shocked at the other. "No, I wouldn't. That's much too dark for a celebration."

[fogboundcrow]

"True. It's not as though we're a population of demons." He pauses. "But I'm sure even Phoenix has his limits."
