[The feed switches on to show Darc leaning against the wall of one of the run-down looking buildings that scatter the town. His expression is somewhat pensive, rather than the permanent scowl that he usually wears. He remains silent for several moments before finally addressing the camera]This place doesn't seem all that bad. Not as good as that

[Yeah...he's never heard of that]
...I probably don't wanna know, do I.
[Its not even a question :|]

[He pauses.]
But no, knowing you? You don't wanna know. How about just cake, then? It's a little boring on its own and it's not made of dead animals, but unlike most things, apparently, it probably won't drive you into a blind rage.

[He shrugs...before considering the offer of cake. He's discovered that he quite likes sweet things]
I'd say yes, if I wasn't concerned it was some kinda trick to try and piss me off...

...thanks, Alma.

You're welcome! Are you gonna have a party? Or cake?

I don't think so. It seems like a lot of fuss over what's essentially just another day. [That...and the fact that big groups of people will never be his idea of a good time] Someone gave me cake, though.

Happy Birthday. Eighteen is usually a big deal where I come from. [Since it technically makes you legal.] It hasn't been too bad here yet, so you should enjoy it. Do something enjoyable for yourself.

Yeah, it is. I don't usually take much notice of it, to be fair.
[Another nod] Yeah, I've been told. [It was actually a bone of contention between him and Izaya for a little while, so he's very much aware that many humans only count as 'legal' when they reach eighteen] I expect I'll think of something. Its better than being stuck in that other shithole, anyway.

Spend it with people you care about. I'm sure they'd really like to celebrate you, even if it's small. And it seems convenient to have your birthday while nothing is going on so take advantage of it.

[Another, more tentative nod] We'll see, I guess. Maybe I'll do something like that.

Darc...Happy birthday.
[Awkwardly shakes her head.] I guess that's debatable, in a place like this but...
Hope you at least have an okay day, if not a good one, okay?
...I wish there were things that I could make you a cake with or something...

Um...thanks. But yeah, don't worry about it. This one's probably gonna be better than all the others.
[Seeing as all the others for the past ten years passed without note, with him working from dawn till dusk for his owner :|]
Someone already did that, actually. Which is kinda alright. Its only about the third time I've ever tasted it.

[An apologetic smile.] O-Oh, that's so nice! Did you like it?

[He nods]
Yeah, it was alright. It looked weird, though.
