Bonzo comes into the Bar for dinner. He sits down at the Bar, and promptly gets an unordered cupcake with a candle on it and a note on a napkin.

Happy Birthday

"Birthday? Yeah, I guess it is. How do you keep track of this stuff? I mean...I've been in and out..."

Whatever day it is in here is what I go by. And I just know."Well...thanks

There's a snicker from behind him, and that's all the warning Bonzo gets before Weasel launches into the loudest, most off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday" he's likely to have ever heard.

There's a grin on his face; he's being purposefully obnoxious, that much is obvious.

[mandercommander]

Bonzo winces, blushing with embarassment.

Please make it stop, please make it stop...

However, wincing aside, he does let Weasel continue, quietly praying that there's not a second verse of the song.

[waste_wanderer]

There's only one verse, although the look on Bonzo's face makes Weasel think about making up a second, even more embarrassing one.

Luckily for Bonzo, he's drawing a blank. Oh well.

"C'mon, most of the guys in the Vault would have tried to stuff a sock in my mouth by the second line," Weasel laughs. "You need to lighten up a little."

"So, how old is the birthday boy today?"

[mandercommander]

Bonzo laughs at Weasel's reaction.

"If I hadn't lightened up a lot over the years, you'd have been pasted to the floor by now." Pause. "Depends on how you count. If you only count how many years I've been alive back home? 18, I think. If you add my time here in..." Pause. "22 or 23. I think."

Thanks to the wonders of Millitime, certain plottish things have not yet happened to Enzo, and he is mildly anxious at worst. Nothing he can't blame on History homework, anyway, and nothing he can't put aside for the time being.

"Hey, Bonzo! What's processing?"

[mandercommander]

"Not much." Pause. "It's my birthday."

[a1enzo]

"Happy birthday!" says Enzo, but he's giving Bonzo a strange look. A birthday is 'not much'?

[mandercommander]

Bonzo gets what the look is about. "We have them a lot more frequently." Pause. "Not to mention...at Battle School, they were a decidedly understated affair. You got new uniforms, and that was it."
