Happy Birthday Victor! (Yes, Just Victor)

[forgotten_vows]

Yes, today is all about the birthday of the newest member of the Inkwell group -- Forgotten Vows! Why are we neglecting Marty McFly, DG-Victor, and Butterfly Boy?

Largely because everyone realized we were up to FOUR people with the same birthday (SIX if you count Tie-Twister and Secundus Marty), and everyone said, "Oh HELL no." It's just too much trouble at this point to keep track of everyone. So, to simplify things, the party is being focused on the guy who has yet to get one.

So! The Inkwell is not only done up in Corpse Bride-flavor blue, but "Alice"-flavor red as well today. The jukebox is playing bits from the "Alice" soundtrack -- primarily anything that strongly features piano, with a few other pieces Forgotten likes as well. And sprinkled liberally around on the unoccupied tables is butterfly confetti, as that applies to both series equally. Forgotten himself is at the traditional birthday table, looking a little shy, but happy to be so loved. Won't you come by and make sure to welcome him to the family properly?

Doc steps up first with his present -- a small box wrapped in yellow paper. "Happy birthday," he says. "I think you'll like this."

"Thank you, Doc," Forgotten says, taking the gift and opening it. Inside is what looks like a magnifying glass, only with a blue crystal instead of the lens. ". . .er -- would it be impolite for me to ask what it is?"

Doc laughs. "It's a night-vision crystal! I got one like it from a vending machine the LiveJournal Nexus sometimes had around. We still sometimes raid it for gifts here. I figured, since your main issue with the dark is that you can't see in it. . ."

"Oh!" Forgotten grins as he lifts the crystal to his eye. "So this lets me see in the dark? Yes, that is useful -- especially if I happen to run out of matches." He slips the "magnifying glass" in his pocket, right next to the matchbook. "Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome! Happy birthday!" Doc reiterates, clapping him on the shoulder.
