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?

"Ooooh, I see," Vic says, grimacing. "Yeah, that does pretty much show just how serious it is when Doctors have to team up. Wow. . ."

The Victors look at each other. "Er -- kind of," Tie-Twister says, playing with his hands. "We've all got the same basic skills, I believe -- playing piano, drawing, knowing rather a lot about butterflies -- it's just that some of us have things added on, or focus on more than the others."

"Exactly -- I'm the one who knows the most about butterflies -- to the point of being able to make them these days," Butterfly Boy says as an example, beaming with pride.

"And I'm the one who knows some magic, and how to fight," Forgotten adds. "And how to survive in a world where your dreams like to come true every night in odd ways. We each have our specialties."

"Yup." AL nods. "It's always a Big Thing."

"Again, true. Tell Ferdinand I say hello, by the way."

[butterflyboy]

"And in that universe, it can never be a pleasant 'Big Thing,'" Forgotten notes, shaking his head.

Butterfly Boy chuckles and nods. "I certainly will. He's getting along very well these days, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear."

(I just re-watched "The Two Doctors", so I'm back, lol)

"No, not in that case," says AL. "The Time Lords did it themselves the first time...and the second time, too, come to think of it."

Five idly rubs his chest. "One Time Lord," he corrects gently. "He wanted to use me to get into the Tomb of Rassilon...one of the developers of time travel for my people. He thought he'd find immortality because he thought Rassilon himself immortal."

"Well," says AL, "he is, in a way. I mean, he turned Borusa into a living statue and got us out of the Death Zone." Five nods. "Now the third time...well, that was just kind of concidence, wasn't it? Though I suppose Two and Six winding up in the same place could've been a subconscious thing." She shrugs. "I mean, Two was in danger and Six had a vision of it, so..." She shrugs again. "Part of me is glad it happened, though." She grins. "It brought Jamie and I back together even if just for that one adventure."

The Scot smiles.

"Now, the fourth time, Five and Ten...well, Ten had the TARDIS shields down and kind of merged his and Five's TARDIS accidentaly."

Ten scratches his head with a sheepish look. "Well..."

"Would've caused a giant explosion but Ten fixed it and separated the TARDIS. Was nice to see Five again, too."

Five smiles at her as well.

"Now the fifth time, when Ten and Eleven meet up...well, ask me after November 23rd." She makes a face.

The face dissapears, however, when Butterfly Boy talks about Ferdinand. "That's great to hear. Yay Ferdy!" She grins goofily.

"Ahhhh," Vic says. "Interesting. And yeah, the Ten and Five thing I saw. There was going to be a Bad Thing the size of Belgium, if I remember correctly."

"Belgium?" Forgotten Vows repeats, raising an eyebrow.

"They thought it was weird too." She grins at AL. "I'm sure we won't have to ask. Either you or other you will tell us all about it."

Butterfly Boy giggles at her smile. "Yes, he's doing great. Which is really something for the tumblr version -- I made him during a thread where I and my adopted 'daughter' for that world were trapped in Aperture Science."

"He likes to brag that he's made one of the very few things created with Aperture technology that's worked as it was supposed to," Forgotten jokes. Butterfly Boy preens playfully.
