[video] Happy Birthday, Laura!

[Laura has not really been on the network much, since the kidnappings had happened. She had been scarce in general; just because she was held captive all her life, after all, did not make it any easier to be thrust back into that terrible sort of world. But now she's back and has at least had some time to try and heal from those nasty little metaphoricalwounds, chewing on her pencil thoughtfully before lowering it and smiling a little from where she sits at a table in the community housing..]

I am twelve now... I have never had a birthday before, so I am not sure what to do other than to say so; since I have been here for a year now, I have decided that August is my birth month.

[She grins a bit, rather impish.]

And since I do not have the exact day, I guess every day in August will have to be my birthday. Gracias.

[LAURA NO—

Oh, the feed ended on that note.

Guess August is National Laura Month, so sorry.]

[Magnus takes maybe too much offense to that.]

Yes! It will! It's not hard to follow the directions on the back of some cake mix! I'm not that bad!!

It's going to be the best cake you've ever had just to show you how wrong you are!! Best... tasting. Maybe not the prettiest. I can't do shit with fondant or whatever.

I was going to say — it's okay if it's not.

Food poisoning does not work on me, and I will appreciate your cake whether it is edible or not.

But I'm glad it's not that bad.

Well!! I would still never give a kid inedible cake. That's just cruel.

[He folds his arms and pouts. She still doubted him!!!]

Very well. Then we should have this cake together.

It will be a nice birthday present, to share some.

Oh-- yeah! Man, the pressure is on. Still totally going to be the best cake you've ever eaten, though.

I will not hold back in my grading scale. I hope you are up to a challenge.

[She's just talkin' shit, she has no real scale of what is and isn't great cake.

All dessert is good dessert when you don't have any for years.]

I will conquer. I will win. I will... bake.

Don't forget sprinkles.

Sprinkles can be arranged.

... Sprinkles that look like hearts and stars.

Rainbow colors.

[HARD MODE.]
