007: Bon Anniversaire à moi

[hawkeyowa]

[It's been one hundred and sixty-three years to the day that Jack obtained statehood. One hundred and sixty-two years prior, he hardly guessed he would get this far. Of course, he hasn't celebrated it every year, and he doesn't know if being in HQ for this one makes it any different. After all, he figured that if a cupcake costs an average $1.99 at a grocery store (plus sales tax, but he'll round it to $2.00 even), he would have wasted $326 in the past one hundred and sixty-three years on cupcakes. Thus, he finds it a little bit useless to celebrate.

Even if he thinks that way, he managed to find a cupcake on his end table this morning with a lovely little note from HQ wishing him a happy one hundred sixty third, and hopefully another one hundred and sixty-three to come. Obviously, he can't waste a perfectly good cupcake.

So yes, Happy Birthday, Jack. :)]

[Indy would like to say he's only here to repay the favor of the delicious fantastic surprisingly not disgusting cornbread you made him for his birthday.

So... he's at your door. He wants to knock, but his hands are loaded up with succotash and persimmon pudding. So he sort of maneuvers the tupperware bowl filled with succotash and sets it on top of the pudding so he has a free hand.

There we go.]

Oh, hey there Eli. What's the occasion?

[He knew your Birthday was sometime after his, all he had to do was go look it up in the encyclopedia.

But it's kind of sad that he doesn't realize it's his own birthday. You've kind of deflated his spirits, but he does a lazy swaying dance with his foodsuffs anyway.]

Happy Happy... Birthday! Happy Happy Birthday Iowa!

[You're damn right he would, he steps in, examining Iowa's room and all the things inside.]

Pretty...

Aw, thanks. I kinda tried to make it seem more like my house back home, but the view ain't exactly the same.

[He's just trying to be polite. Don't go overboard.]

It's really does seem like like... you.

Ya really think so? I always thought it was kinda plain.

[hoosier-state.livejournal.com]

You've never been in my room have you?

[hawkeyeiowa.livejournal.com]

...Do I wanna go?

[hoosier-state.livejournal.com]

There's no nest of vipers in there, if that's what you're thinking.

[hawkeyeiowa.livejournal.com]

That's not what I'm afraid of.

[hoosier-state.livejournal.com]

What then?

[hawkeyeiowa.livejournal.com]

Ah, nothin'. I'm just playin' around with ya.

[Is it wrong he automatically went on the offensive? Now he feels like a jackass.]

Oh... okay.

Ahh... that food I brought ya. Succotash and persimmon pudding.

[hawkeyeiowa.livejournal.com]

Really? That sounds really good! Kinda beats out the cornbread I gave ya on yer birthday.

[Surprisingly, he did not make it to hear that. He made it simply because he owed Iowa. Though it did give his ego a boost.]

Save your compliments till you've tried it!

With pleasure! []
