[Mark Hunter's friends]

Hey guys. It's Mark's birthday today. I'm cool if everyone wants a party but I think it would be hilarious if everyone gave him stupid shit - like a box filled with nothing but packing peanuts. Hell, fill our room with balloons I don't give a shit [she cackles with laughter] Get creative

[everyone ELSE in the castle... except Mark]

It's Mark's birthday today. You know, the guy who does the weekly broadcasts around here. If any of you care and wanna do something do something crazy. Like blow up the microwave or fuck with the elevator. Something that'll shake things up in Castle Wonderfuck. Hallmark Cards are for lazy uncreative people. [she laughs].

[with a GRIN] Don't think I forgot what day it is today.

Do you know if he bought anything at Zonko's while we were at Hogwarts?

Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

He did. I don't think any of it came back with us, though. I can look, though.

[hard_talker]

[SOMEONE is flopped in bed still, his face buried in his pillow with Nora's own firmly clamped over his head. the following is muffled and only vaguely audible, but still pretty crabby sounding]

But I don' WANNA be nineteen.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She bounces over and HOPS on the bed]

Tough luck. If I had to turn 19 so do you.

[A birthday?! That gets Sugar's attention fast. (Though she still doesn't understand half of Nora's words.)]

Something crazy?

[What could she do that was crazy?]

Second Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She grins]

Yeah! The crazier the better.

[wilder]

His birthday huh? I'll have to try to think of something...

Are we setting another cake on fire for it?

Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She laughs]

For the record it's usually the candles on top of the cake that get set on fire. I don't know, maybe. It might take the edge off his whole "oh my god I'm 19" whine fest he's got goin' on.

[indirectcause]

[Creative? Oh god that's asking a lot. But he will try. For the sake of his bro, he will TRY]

Sure. I'll see what I can do.

[It'll probably end up being a plastic cup attached to a coat hanger]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She grins]

That's awesome! I'm sure he'd love to get something from you.

[You know... being his BOYFRIEND and all :P]

First filter

[mal_addict]

Okay, but bear in mind you've just given me explicit permission to do something really weird for him.

First filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

[she laughs]

Oh I'm torn between being scared and totally excited about that.

First Filter

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Ooh, it's his birthday? I'll think of something to give him asap!

First Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

Awesome! I'm taking him out for a while so if you have the ghosts send it to our room or something it'll be there when we get back.

First Filter; Dictated

[cyan_maid]

Something crazy, hmm?

First Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

Totally crazy!

First Filter

[the_effect_she_has]

....Huh.

[She thinks about this.]

How about a baby bunny with a ribbon?

First Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

A bunny?

[She's torn between wtf and OMGBUNNY.]

Second Filter

[babyaliendaddy]

Okay, how old is he?

Second Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

He's 19.

First Filter

[originalcopy]

One order of green jello and a Popsicle stick craft kit on it's way. Let the old man bitch in style.

[in a box wrapped entirely in several layers of duct tape.]

First Filter

[eat_me_beat_me]

[That is the sound of a teenager laughing her ass off]

Perfect!

[silentrunning]

[Chell giggles, reading that filter, and filters back.]

OH man. I am going to have SO much FUN! I was so bored! Thank you, Nora!

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She grins]

Glad I was able to help, Chell. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[toobravehearted]

Mark's birthday, that's excellent Nora. Why specifically nonsense things as gifts? I do have just the thing in mind, though.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She laughs]

Because he's whining about getting old so I figured mixing things up would be a good way to get him out of that funk. Besides, he'd be more interested if people were using their heads and getting creative instead of just giving him whatever crap they had on hand.
