Of course we're all terribly busy, but I would like to announce that I am now accepting suggestions on how best to celebrate a 537th birthday. As no one I know from home is here and we are currently on mission, I realized I cannot possibly expect a surprise party, much to my own disappointment — though, if someone should feel inclined to gift me something with milk and honey, or otherwise assaulted with sugar and sweet things, I would be surprised, and I wouldn't turn it down.

Something to think about, as a celebration of me. Carry on.

i'm still not sharing the sweets i smuggled in.

[business]

Not quite there, yet. Maybe one day.
You're cruel to me. Does my heartbreak amuse you so?

[peasant]

are you sure? i could have sworn i saw a wrinkle this morning ...
fine, don't pout. you can have one of them.
i might have dropped it in the grass earlier, though.

Wow man, you look wonderful for your age. What water are you drinking?

I found some fine liquor in the kitchens, I think that being more than half a millennium old is worth opening a bottle.

[business]

It's the Fae blood, I'm afraid. And a somewhat rigorous skin care routine.
It's never too early to be worried about wrinkles.

Well, I wouldn't turn down cheersing to my continued good health. Let's break it open!

[spacedisaster]

Dang, of course it is that. Lucky man, making all of us, the regular aging fellows, look bad.

Perfect then. I could try to bake you something too, if you think we can find the right ingredients in the kitchen. I'm an incredible cook.

[ No, he is not, but baking is surprisingly one of his decent skills. Just don't ask him to make healthier meals. ]

You know, that's a question I never thought to ask Wrex. Missed opportunity.

[business]

I get the idea Wrex is perhaps not a fairy?

[majorbiotic]

Krogan. They're a long-lived species in my world, so he would know about celebrating a 537th birthday. I'm thinking that a fight would be involved, and probably breaking shit.

Since we don't want to piss the castle off, maybe not go with that idea.

wow
someone's old.

and cocky
never known someone just up and ask for shit for their birthday
what about the surprise aspect of it?

[business]

I cannot deny either of these points.

I don't mind a surprise. In fact, I'm occasionally fond of them.
The suggestion of honey and sugar are merely that — quite popular for Faerie birthdays. I also like exotic jewels and fine fabrics, and pleasant smelling lotions and oils.
Some more ideas? Anything is fine.

[cheapbastard]

i don't know you from adam
still think i should get you a present?
what about a hug?
i've heard i give good hugs.

( that's untrue. )

did you say faerie? like a thing with wings?

573? Yeesh. You ever considered just getting drunk? Mission or not, if I lived to see that many years I'm not sure "surprise," would even be in the cards.

Ever try Tennesee Honey? My treat when we get back to the ship.

[business]

Are you calling me old? Why, my delicate heart.
🥲💔

I don't know what Tennessee is, but honey I like. I'll hold you to that.

[krazed]

Was it that obvious? If you're past five-hundred I don't think your heart is anything near delicate.

I'll try to wrangle some up and if I can't I'll do the next best thing.

Lots of booze. I'd say a bottle for each year but then it might be the last year you ever have.

[business]

I bet I could manage it, with human liquor. Or ... nearly, before making myself sick.
Faerie wine would be a death wish.

[oiorpata]

537 is a big year, you gotta drink up.

That's how you got to be so old? You're a fairie?

[ giant alien robot cars, magic, time travelers, why not the fae?? she's given up being fazed by anything here. ]

organics can do that?
huh
any more of this and my position as oldest one here might be threatened

[business]

Just how old are you? It's rare that someone can make me feel like a young man.

[aurable]

Just shy of my five millionth.

[calmness]

Congratulations on this milestone. Is it a common age to reach in your world?

And are surprise parties common?

[business]

It is fairly common among my kind, the Fae. I might even say it's on the younger side.
Humans naturally have much shorter lifespans.

Well ... not for me, exactly. But they certainly happen.
Do you have surprise parties where you're from?

Your 537th BIRTHDAY?

Is this another one of your dumb pranks?

[business]

My pranks aren’t dumb.

( rude!!! this might be more insulting than the old jokes. )
