I never expected to be celebrating my birthday in a place like this. Of course, I don't usually celebrate my birthday anyway, so the location doesn't really matter - but regardless, it is a bit odd.

[Mukuro is relaxing on a sofa in the Varia mansion. Nearby is the rainbow lamb Fran gave him as a birthday gift - it's chewing on something. Looks

[Guess who's stomping strolling into the living room, a very pouty look on his face and wearing nothing but boxers after getting out of the shower?]

[He hates you so, so much right now. You were supposed protect his clothes, dammit.]

You should really warn them about yourself, Master.

...

And please stop making Genny eat my pants, please. I only have two pair.

[grandtheftbody]

[He is totally protecting them. No one stole them, did they?]

Why in the world would I do that? They don't need to be warned about me.

[A glance over at the lamb.]

Genny, don't eat Fran's pants.

[No response. Mukuro shrugs.]

He doesn't listen very well.

[They were stolen by a sheep's mouth. :|]

Oh, I don't know. Maybe they would like to know about the murders, or possession, or all those kinds of things.

[But really, he seems more concerned with getting the pants out of Genny's mouth in a round of tug-of-war.]

Ch. Pets always resemble their owners, huh.

[grandtheftbody]

They don't need to know those kinds of things. That would make life much less fun for me, you know.

[He watches Fran fighting with the sheep and does not raise a single finger to help. Go, Fran, go!]

Ah, that's a good point. Your toad does resemble you a bit.

[sauceytomato]

...Your birthday. [That's right, it's June 9th. Ugh.]

[grandtheftbody]

Yes. My birthday. [Silence for a moment.] Don't you think I deserve a 'happy birthday'?

[sauceytomato]

I don't even know you. You just reminded me it was someone else's birthday today.

[grandtheftbody]

Oh, I see. You haven't got much in the way of manners - that's all right. You ought to wish that person a happy birthday, at least.

[buntails]

Eh? You're a friend of Fran's? [Ohey that means you're a friend of hers, right?]

It's nice to meet you. Happy Birthday, too!

[grandtheftbody]

I wouldn't say 'friend', but yes. [That's totally what that means! Mukuro is a friendly guy.]

Thank you. Can I ask your name?

[buntails]

I'm Tsukino Usagi. Call me Usagi-chan.

[grandtheftbody]

Nice to meet you, Usagi-chan. I'm Mukuro. You're a friend of Fran's, then?

[Voice]

[bloodseal_soul]

Happy birthday. How old are you?

[Voice]

[grandtheftbody]

[There's silence for a moment, as if it's taking him a little while to remember.]

Sixteen, I believe. And thank you.

[Voice]

[bloodseal_soul]

You believe?

[Voice]

[grandtheftbody]

It's so easy to lose track of these things, you know.

[hardcorecute]

Happy Birthday! I don't know you, but it's nice to say Happy Birthday, even to strangers. I'm Bubbles! If you tell me your name, then you won't be a stranger anymore and then I could even sing the birthday song for you! It's weird to sing that to strangers, you know.

Are you a teacher? Fran's kind of a dum-dum head sometimes, so I'm glad his teacher is here now.

[grandtheftbody]

Thank you, Bubbles. My name is Mukuro, and no one's sung the birthday song for me in a very long time. I'd love to hear it.

I'm Fran's teacher, and you're right, he is kind of a dum-dum head, isn't he?

[hardcorecute]

He sure is! He's nice and fun to talk to sometimes, but then other times he's creepy or bitey and that's just weird.

Okay, I'm going to sing for you, now that I know your name! Are you ready, Mukuro? Here I go!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Mukuro!
Happy Birthday to you!

See? I needed to know your name to sing it in the song!

[grandtheftbody]

Yes, bitey isn't normal for him at all. [Creepy, on the other hand...]

That was a very nice song. It certainly made my birthday feel much more birthday-like.
