[Gabriel thinks that most of the population could agree with him about things being generally dreary. What with the Emperor death and all. Which really sucked, considering everything he told her about his brothers was gone now, unless she had the foresight to inform others. He had no plans of going through it all with someone else anytime soon.]

[And then Castiel was gone. Took the tension with him, really, but he would be missed. Not to mention they were one fewer again. And then Betty. Not that he knew her well, but that woman.]

[So, yeah. Crap was sucking and he didn't like it. Gabriel wasn't the type to stare at a wall and lie in misery, so he turned the console on.]

'Sup, folks. It's your favorite person again.

Look, here's the deal. My half-bro's birthday is coming up and that's enough reason for me to celebrate. He's not here, 'course, but I'm sure he's here in spirit or something.

So, who wants to participate in some drinking, dancing, and gift giving? Can't promise it'll be kid friendly, but that's a usual for me.

If nothing else, we can go around as a group and make sure everyone has some proper lights up.

[Drunk angel putting up Christmas lights in every yard. There will be many blinking dicks if he goes unsupervised.]

[Locked to Cecil]

Bro. I got you a thing. You gonna wanna see this.

[whitelotustile]

Lights? Is that a custom for birthdays where you come from?

[casaerotica13]

Not for most people, but it is for this guy. He gets a kick out of 'em.

[whitelotustile]

Well, I can't say that the Fire Sector needs more lights, but I can put out a few extra candles.

[casaerotica13]

That's the spirit! Thanks a lot!

[Yet another person he likes. Oh, this place is great.]

You could always come and shake a leg at my place, too. Always gotta party in style.

[whitelotustile]

If an old man like me wouldn't spoil the fun for the young people. I do enjoy a chance to relax and meet new people.

[And food and drink and music. Iroh can be a regular social butterfly/.]

[casaerotica13]

Please. We'll party like it's 1095. You'll fit in great.

Besides, I'm older than I look, myself.

[whitelotustile]

Are you?

[casaerotica13]

By a few thousand millennia, yeah. It's all about a positive outlook, my friend.

[whitelotustile]

Well... I can't argue with that.

[casaerotica13]

How could you? [He has seniority, after all.]

We'll show those kids how to have fun.

[whitelotustile]

Ah, well, if they choose to listen to their elders, they'll be wiser in no time at all.

[casaerotica13]

That's what I'm talking about.

[whitelotustile]

Mmm. [Iroh nodded] I don't believe I caught your name, Mister...

[bonjourguignon]

Drinking, dancing, and gift-giving? You speak appropriately as a favourite person, Monsieur!

[knewtoomuch]

You can definitely count me in on all of that. No need for a reason to do any of that, but it certainly presents a slightly better excuse.

[hasthreefingers]

Absentee birthday? Sounds like you need some crowns.

[casaerotica13]

Gabriel. Just Gabriel's fine.

[casaerotica13]

I thought so! Who doesn't love a good old party?

[casaerotica13]

Definitely don't need a reason, no, but excuses are nice in case people start asking questions. Some losers need reasons, you know.

[He decides it better than to ask about Cas. Whether Bal wants to celebrate him being gone or to just not think about it isn't any of his business. Yet.]

[casaerotica13]

Crown Royal, yes, and plenty of it.

[knewtoomuch]

You do indeed have that right. It's so difficult to have a little fun every now and again.

[That is likely for the best. Cas tends to produce....negative emotions nowadays. Maybe it is that whole stabbing in the back thing.]

Better to have a little fun with this grim business going on here. I was hoping this place would be more laid back. Guess we can't have everything.

[casaerotica13]

Agreed. Life can be tough, man. [Oh, how he misses the good old days.]

They did say something about their evil whatever thing. Just goes to show you, no place is perfect... Just how I like it, really, but if they could tune down their crazy, that would be nice, too.

[knewtoomuch]

[Life was much more simple when none of them were getting all stabby with each other. Times have changed.]

Well, I could definitely do without Pleasantville. Crazy is a necessity. It just seems a little...dialed up recently. Let's just make sure this get-together turns into an annual thing, hmmm? Crazy with a side of drinks.

[casaerotica13]

[Oh, the good old days. Dialed up was right, though.]

[And then, the thought vanished, because Balthy is a genius whether that would have happened anyway or not.]

I like that plan. Rain or shine, crazy drinking is here to stay from now on. It is law.

[He makes it so.]

[bonjourguignon]

No favourite person of mine!

[Tentatively,] I am sure your half-brother will appreciate your efforts, wherever he may be.
