Video | HAPPY... LATE... BIRTHDAY??? | @p.parker

[The feed is mostly full of textbooks, the spines all turned enough that they're legible; it's math, chemistry, social studies, all the fun things nobody misses from high school. And on the right side of the screen is Peter, sitting with his cheek on his palm and his elbow pressed beside a blank page of paper. He looks kind of sleepy, like he'd just nod off if he didn't have the feed to focus on.]

So I've got this essay I need to write by tomorrow, and I'm having a hard time getting — personal, and all that. The prompt's asking about what inspires you, specifically. [He looks to read it word-for-word:] 'What motivates you in your day to day life?' And I mean, I've got a lot of motivations, but trying to put it to paper is giving me a wicked case of the fogbrain.

[He tucks his pen under his nose, holding it with his upper lip for a moment before letting it fall pitifully to the table. He sighs.]

What motivates you guys? Into doing what you do? What makes you put your shoes on in the morning, huh?

And don't just say 'to avoid stepping on pointy stuff barefoot'. That's a cheap and obvious answer—

[Peter startles violently as birthday music blares behind him, so much so that his pencil goes flying through the air and RIP's somewhere off-screen. Pam the pancake making robot seems to be flying onto the scene in the background with freshly made pancakes and festive lights blinking all over her.



A little lighter arm pops out, preparing to light a lone candle on the stack of flapjacks.

Peter mutters, mortified:]


...I thought I disabled Birthday Mode for repairs...

[He looks back at the robot with his hand pressed to his temple, and clears his throat.]



... Pam, uh. My - my birthday was two days ago. Two days. It's August 10th. And, uh, it's... it's the 12th now.

[Peter watches as the AI seems to try to process this, tapping his finger on the table and thinning his lips at the awkward silence. Pam's little plate-holding robo-arms lower slightly, the generic birthday MIDI file slowing to a depressive stop as the party-themed lights and lighter are shut off together. A pause of nothing. Then she turns and dejectedly wheels away into the community kitchen with her plate of pancakes.]

Wait, Pam — Aw, c’mon, I can still eat them! Hey—

[Peter drops his arms.



... Note to self, fix her internal clock...]

[ And just like that he slides his way in, flapping his sleeves excitedly while he looks around. ]

So this is where Peter Parker lives! Hehe! Everything looks as young as you!

[ He turns around, and gestures at the cake box with a sleeve. ]

Yeah! I don't remember if you ever told me your age so I bought at least a double dozen candles! You can use the leftover ones for when the power goes out?

Do you wanna be that old already? You shouldn't! Like I said, you've gotta enjoy your youth! Heck, I wish I was sixteen again!

[ He flops on Peter's bed without a prompt, testing how bouncy it is. ]

Where's Pam-chan? If you didn't hug her earlier, then I want to!

[ YOU'RE NOT WRONG... he kicks his feet just the way a teen would, tbh, he didn't do a lot of growing up in the last ten years or so. He also puffs his cheeks, pouting. ]

Did you eat all of her pancakes eventually? [ He sounds a bit stern. ] She may have been off mark but she's a sweet and caring robot that deserves happiness too!

[ After meeting Connor and Markus, his care for robotic individuals has ridiculously expanded. They might as well be perfectly human to him. ]

[ IT'S A CUTE TEENAGE ROOM, AGREED. Jyushi grabs one of the comics without permission (rude) and flips some pages. ]

Her pancake skills might get her somewhere high if you let her shine! If Pam-chan loves making them so much it'd only benefit the community and herself if something can be managed! Imagine opening a pancake business!

Right! You can make her do everything you want, and if she's happy with it you've got great things ahead of you!

[ Somehow he can still have a conversation while his eyes are frantically shifting over the comic book pages. ]

You can program her to make more than one type of cake, can't you?

Peter Parker is a smart boy! I mean, you built Pam-chan so I know you're gonna make it just fine!

[ He loves Pam and as his creator you've got his respect multiplied tenfold. ]

I believe in you! At your age I could barely build up a class project without setting it on fire by accident! [ He laughs at his dumb high school years... ] But you're clearly a genius and if there's someone who can do his best and succeed it's you!

[ He probably should get a degree in Praising at this rate. ]

That's the thing! I gave up at my first attempt, but you wouldn't, right?

[ They're so different. He gave up, and that's why he became a NEET. But he can still help youngsters like Peter find their ways to success with his weird pep talks. ]

I trust that you won't set Pam-chan on fire if you run into some fails!

[personal profile] yakyuuman 2018-08-28 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Atta boy! Do your magic and I'm sure Pam-chan will be loved for it!

[ He tosses the comic aside and abruptly stands up, flexing his arms without prompt whatsoever. ]

Hustle, hustle! Muscle, muscle! Come on now Peter, open up the cake! I want a slice! I'm getting hungry!

You've got to use the muscle for anything! The brain is a muscle too, right?

[ Fortunately for Peter, it's not something alien at all! Jyushimatsu bought the cake in a hurry and so it's got a pretty plain design, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER haphazardly scribbled with frosting, and a bunch of blue and red candles on the side, ready to be used.

Jyushimatsu hums, looking at it with slight disappointment. ]


Should have made it a baseball theme... [ He would have stuffed a whole fucking baseball in it tbh. ]

But imagine a cake shaped like a Ghost Shark! It'd be both harmless and awesome! I should remember to commission it next year! [ UH OH... ]

yakyuuman: (002 homeruns)

[personal profile] yakyuuman 2018-09-01 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll commission the shark cake AND cookies next year! Let's make a Ghost Shark party!

[ HE NEVER HALF-ASSES ANYTHING BRO. ]

[personal profile] yakyuuman 2018-09-04 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ He jumps, like he's just heard the best thing ever. ]

Wah! That works too! I'd loooove to have a shark themed birthday, but also with baseball!
