[bragnificent]

Okay, so as most of you should know by now, it's my birthday today.

[ That might be slightly ironic, given how so many of his friends who might know that are actually gone by now; there's maybe 2-4 people who would still know at this point. ]

I'm 18 now-- so not just physically a man anymore, but legally one, too. [ He finger-guns at the camera. ] And to celebrate I'm gonna be having a party next weekend over at the Frisky Nickel. Drinks, food, and games are half-off and dessert is on the house if you come in and mention me by name. Pretty lowkey for now, just show up if you wanna get in on it.

After-party to be determined, but that'll be need to know only anyway. As in, 18 or older.

[ AKA, friends...? who will be willing to accompany him to a strip club, or something else similarly celebratory in that special "I'm 18 now, bitches!" kind of way. It's fine. He'll bring it up at the party. Reggie pauses, then adds: ]

And for the record, this isn't a prank. [ A beat. ] Seriously.

What was your name again?

voice;

[bragnificent]

Hey, if you want the discount that's on you. Not actually my problem if you have a crappy memory.

voice;

[plentystrong]

So, am I supposed to just call you "hey you" from now on?

voice;

[bragnificent]

That depends. How often are you ever planning on actually using it?

[twatter]

Got a place in mind for that after-party? I got some sweet VIP hook ups for some clubs in De Chima.

video;

[bragnificent]

Well I didn't, but dude, get me that hook up and you can totally be secondary VIP for the night. It'll be epic.

[twatter]

Can do. Will do. Sure hope you like techno.

video;

[bragnificent]

Techno? Why? [ He makes a bit of a face, but then shrugs. ] I mean, I guess I can live with it.

[psychophilia]

Finally old enough for the draft.

[ drinking and drugs are always legal for the bold, okay? ]

[bragnificent]

[ Oh, and he's been enjoying both plenty even prior to things becoming official now. It'll be nice to have slightly fewer things to need a fake ID for, though. ]

I think here technically anybody might be. It's kind of one of the first things they do to us.

[psychophilia]

They do to us? That's kid talk. Time to start doing to them, if it bothers you so much.

[bragnificent]

Hey, no point in living in denial, but it's not like I actually play along with their whole "draft" thing.

[ Oh hell yes. Reggie grins as he's responding, trying not to type too fast. ]

definitely the afterparty
if only cuz there's a solid chance that could get me fired from the frisky nickel

[melodramagic]

Oh my gosh, Reggie!

[ She grins back at him, albeit somewhat surprised at the same time. ]

Happy birthday! You never told me it was in April.

video

[bragnificent]

Thanks, Sabrina.

[ He smirks a bit, shrugging his shoulders. ]

And well, it never exactly came up, so why would I?

video

[melodramagic]

Because then I could have gotten you a birthday gift in time?

[ She loves gifting people things! ]

Besides, I owe you for coming with me to my house.

video

[bragnificent]

It's fine. I don't need a gift, just show up to the party. You can do that, right?

video;

[fridgeflower]

If it was a prank, it wouldn't be a very good one, which... Well, that better guarantees that it's not a prank.

Happy Birthday.

video;

[bragnificent]

Thanks. Like, if I'm pulling a prank it's always a good one, but it does get a little tiring having to come up with something every year that's just gonna overshadow my big day. You know? So I figured this year I'd just skip it.

video;

[fridgeflower]

That's fair, I think.

I'd ask about what you expect to get up to in celebration, but I would probably take a decent guess.

video;

[bragnificent]

What does anyone expect to get up to on their 18th birthday?

video;

[sanguinespell]

Yeah, I guess I'm in? I'll see if Karolina wants to come, too.

[ she sort of presses her mouth into a line, thinking. ]

Also I'm--totally fishing here, and I feel like I should know this already, [ in fairness to nico she was probably kind of blazed during most of the conversations where it might've come up ] but screw it, what kind of stuff do you like? Besides, y'know. Booze, sex, drugs and jock shit.

video;

[bragnificent]

Cool. It's about time, I'm not even sure I've met her yet.

[ Maybe briefly or in passing, but-- well, anyway. Nico's question makes Reggie pause, brows furrowing slightly. ]

Shoes. Or maybe a jacket, I dunno.

[ Still kind of basic answers, but she's ruling out a whole lot of what he usually bases his personality around, so. He shrugs. ]

Truth is I haven't really given a lot of thought to gifts this year, so don't overthink it.

[sanguinespell]

Guess I'll figure something out. You're not usually that easy to please, but I'll take it.
