009 ⚜ Video ⚜ The birthday boy
[Francis appears on the NV a few hours after midnight, looking so excited he can hardly contain himself. But he tries desperately, for the camera. With a bit of a playful grin, Francis finally speaks.]
Today is a very special day, mes amis. Do you know what today is? I'll give you a little hint.
[He clears his throat, and then, with that still playful expression on his face, starts humming a tune. Anyone who has heard it will recognize it almost instantly - it's the song "Happy Birthday to You".]
It is true, darlings! It is my birthday today! [He's practically beaming now, a surprising contrast to only a fortnight ago.] I asked for the night off to celebrate, et monsieur Creed said yes! Ah la la, this will be a marvelous night. Of course, I can always squeeze someone into my very busy birthday schedule, if they wanted to wish me a happy birthday, or give me presents or hugs. [That was a hint, dear Newcomers. Cough up your presents. :T]
