WHO: Hugo and anyone
WHERE: Libra network
WHEN: October 4th
WHAT: It's Lycaon's birthday
WARNINGS: None, except Hugo.

Some of you may know Lycaon. It's his birthday today.

As much as I would love to let this go quietly, he has a habit of not mentioning these things to the people who might care to know. So please feel free to lavish him with well-wishes as you please. I won't be monitoring what's said.

Also. This isn't about giving him happy wishes for me. This is about revenge. He knows what he did.

[What.]


What. Are you doing.

[myriadeclipse]

Exactly what it looks like. Now anyone who wishes to say something to you can feel free to give you well-wishes on this most important day.

A reminder that people care about you and all that.

[paraselenic]

[He knows what stirred this revenge post. He knows this is karma coming back to bite him after a month's reprieve. In hindsight, he should not be as surprised as he is.]

Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is?

[He does. Hugo absolutely does. The embarrassment is the point.]

Oh, that's what I forgot to tell you.

Your present should be at your house's doorstep by now.

Happy birthday, Lycaon!

[paraselenic]

A gift? Harumasa.. you did not need to exert yourself for my sake, but I am no less thankful.

I will be sure to have Butler retrieve it now.

[You heard right, a certain Bangboo (the OG one) is here in the flesh! Metal? Whatever.]

Happy birthday, my baby boy!!!!! I have a gift all ready for you. You should thank Hugo for making sure people know what a SPECIAL day this is.

(I am choosing to ignore the renege article, it doesn't fit into my narrative).

[paraselenic]

Sir Zulius... I

Thank you. Your well wishes could not make me happier.

As for thanking Hugo, I must refrain. He is doing this in revenge for forcing him to acknowledge and celebrate his own, and thanking him will only preen those wings of his.

[They flirt so weird, Zulius. Like. So...so weird.]

Since he stated he is not monitoring this, I suddenly feel very loose lipped about his own birthdate. It would be a shame if I were to utter it.

[bebest]

Of course, Sweetie! Everyone deserves to have a lot of love and affection on their birthday. It's your special day!!!

OMG is that ALL? That's what he's so bent out of chap about. GURL, this is how we celebrate people's birthdays it's normal!

[ Guys why are you LIKE this?]

OMG. Babe. Tell me! I need to know! I'll send him a cake and some balloons! I'LL DO IT!

[ Oh! They flirt like he and Jun do!!! He gets it. ]

Ha ha. I see. What did he do?

And happy birthday, Lycaon!

[paraselenic]

Ah... Thank you, Varian.

[Hugo is truly devious. He's dying from all the attention. It's almost like this is the consequences of his actions!]

It was certainly nothing as..public as this.

[droptheious]

You're welcome! Are you doing anything nice for it? Other than uh... doing this thing with Hugo.

[This thing. The flirting thing. This is something he and Jun would call a romantic evening so he's assuming the same applies to Hugo and Lycaon. ]

Well, that just means you CAN get him back in a public way when it's your turn.

[WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN, like this is so normal. ]

[myriadeclipse]

He's downplaying how he had me kidnapped on the job and forced into merriment at emotional gunpoint(figurative) purely because he wanted to prove a wretched point.

Announcing his to everyone is going easy on him.

[paraselenic]

Next time I'll walk up up to your art gallery myself and show you what a real kidnapping is.

[droptheious]

I mean, as someone who isn't super happy about being dragged to social events either, I can get that.

You know he'll probably get his own back too, right? That's usually how this works.

[ Only for the people who flirt weird, Varian. ]

[Lycaon's finger hovers over the block button, intrusive thoughts being what they are. After a long pause, he pulls his finger away.

Not today, Satan.]

Thank you, Zelos. As...garish as the text is, the message still warms my heart.

[True, on both parts.]

AW DUDE HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD :D :D

but thats super lame to use somebodys birthday as revenge
cmon man

[paraselenic]

Ah. Thank you Hermes. You are truly too kind.

[This post is so embarrassing. He was hoping it would just be a quiet day but HUGO HAD TO ANNOUNCE IT. He appreciates the well wishes, naturally but. BUT!]

If I am quite honest. I was the one who cast the first stone with his birthday. It is my comeuppance as it were.

[myriadeclipse]

Lycaon used my birthday to kidnap me and attempt to wage emotional warfare because it suited him. This is far tamer than what he did.

[ Hugo, you know Hermes isn't going to understand all of those words in that way. ]

think me the villain if you wish. I hope his birthday sucks.

[mmmleather]

Oh? Is that so?

Then perhaps the esteemed man of the hour would enjoy dinner. As a form of celebration.

[paraselenic]

[THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING. HUGOOO.]

Thank you for the invitation, Sir Zevran. I'm afraid I will have to raincheck on it, as I cannot leave my home with the Spirit Vein barrier thinning.

But your well wishes are more than enough.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?!

WE NEED TO CELEBRATE, STAT.

I'm getting my brother help me make you a batch of cookies RIGHT NOW.

[paraselenic]

[It was only a matter of time before his coworkers would find out, he assumes. It makes him smile, nonetheless, to see them so excited.]

Vash, I'm glad to see you're keeping out of trouble. [For now.]

You're correct, today is my birthday--but you do not need to overextend yourself for my sake. Your cookies would be a lovely gift, but know your well wishes are enough.

[greatlydares]

what??

Lycaon!! You never told me today was your birthday!! Hold on, I'll get you something nice by the end of the day.

[paraselenic]

[Oh no, MISS BELLE DON'T LOOK AT HIM BEHIND THE SCREEN LIKE THAT!

H-Hugo didn't tell you his either!]

Ah...there is no need to strain yourself, Miss Belle. The date is not the important part--it is the well wishes from you and the others that warms my heart.

You need not be held to these 24 hours.
