[ The video starts off shaky, clearly taken using the front-facing camera on a phone being wielded by a deeply intoxicated Cisco Ramon. He is pink-cheeked and bright-eyed and giggling so much he has difficulty speaking. ]

Heyooo Quarantine! Sup! Guess what?! It's my birthday today! That means I'm twenty fuckin' five, which means I'm totally old, and wise, and stuff. So I thought it'd be fun if y'all sent me, like, questions! For advice! You know, like Dear Abby, only instead it's Dear Cisco. I've been around a whole quarter of a century now so you best believe I've got plenty of knowledge I can drop on ya like that!

[ He lifts the hand not holding the phone, clearly meaning to snap, but realizes belatedly he's still holding a glass. He turns away from the screen, muttering a quick Babe, babe hold this for me- before handing off the drink to someone outside the shot. Then he looks at the camera once more and snaps, not loudly enough to be heard and late enough that it is unintentionally very comical. ]

It's cool if you send them anonymous or not, anything goes. Lemme help you make some good-ass choices in your life! Or if you're not feeling the advice game you could just like do some shout outs and holler at your loved ones.

Oh! Happy birthday, Cisco!

[ But a question, huh? ]

What flavors of cake and filling do you like?

[ Cause Shigeru is going to make him a cake there is no arguing this fact. Cisco's been nothing but nice to him and well...he definitely wants to do something nice, especially on his birthday. ]

[franciscoramon]

thank you!

omg
are you for real
youre gonna make me a cake???

anything
honestly
i've never met a cake i didn't like
just surprise me
i'm sure it'll be awsome

[mysophobic]

Yes! If you want one! I mean everyone gets cake on their birthday, right? And buying on from the shop isn't as fun as making one.

[ Besides Shigeru's cake are totally better than any store bought one. ]

You don't have any allergies, right?

[franciscoramon]

hell yeah
birthdays and cake go together like

[ Cisco sends that text and then there is a pause, embarrassingly lengthy, as his drunk brain fumbles for an equivalent: ]

like two things that go together really well!

[ Yes! Nailed it. ]

nope, no allergies
and i love all sweets equally
they're all great

you know you don't have to tho right?
like it's cool to just say happy birthday
everybody's benig so nice i don't even know like
why

[mysophobic]

[ Of course Shigeru knows he doesn't have to, but that was never an option in his mind. Cisco has been a really nice and caring person so Shigeru feels like he should do something nice back to repay him. ]

Because you're a nice person, Cisco! But doing something like this really isn't a problem. And everyone deserves to have a nice birthday. I'll get started right away though and I can bring it by if you like?

[franciscoramon]

but i'm no nicer than anybody else

[ Cisco... please. ]

i mean i'm not arguing with you
i love cake
i totally want cake
i am down for cake in my life
i guess i' m just kinda overwhelmed
everybody here's too nice
it's confusing

[mysophobic]

That's not true at all! [ Cisco stop being modest, gosh. ]

It is a little weird, isn't it? I wasn't used to it either, especially since everyone back home is afraid of my kind. But I think it's better to just embrace it and let people be nice to you for a day. You deserve it!

[ Well that's how Shigeru feels at least. ]

And there's no arguing with your elders, so you can't say no.

[franciscoramon]

pretty sure you gotta be more older than me than you are to be my elder technically but ok
not gonna argue with th guy making me cake
🍰

[mysophobic]

I'm 3 years older and that's plenty old!

[ Shigeru please. ]

But I'll stop by in an hour or so!

[ Because by the looks of it Cisco is going hard with the booze so he might only have a limited window of delivery! ]
