[Having a boyfriend whose birthday is on Valentine's day is beautiful. It's beautiful and Murdoc definitely doesn't understand why. But to Bro, it's beautiful. Because it means that when he throws Murdoc a surprise party, he can get away with using the most horrendous pink decorations that he possibly can. Of course, they're not all pink. Some are purple! The shade of purple that Murdoc likes the most. There are hearts hanging from the ceiling and there's a giant poster that says 'Happy Birthday Murman' hanging on the wall. In the corner there is a playpen set up for anyone who might have decided to bring their snakes. It was a spur of the moment decision and he isn't quite sure how it's going to work out, but hey. At least the snakes have somewhere to play.

But the most standout thing in the room has gotta be a cake. Bro went all out and made a lifesized cake for the occasion. It's chocolate, and it's as tall as a goddamn person. It... looks special, though. It's kind of lopsided, and the icing's thickness is sporadic. And it looks like he might've ran out of icing towards the bottom, because it's definitely not as delicious as the top.

Overall, it could have turned out worse. It does look like it could fall over at any moment, though.

And who even really knows how it tastes.

That isn't the point though! The point is everything is beautiful and it's time for the best party you ever did see.]

Fuck on a stick.

[Yeah, he's not going to be moving his arm from around Dave's shoulders any time soon.]

That may have been the worst idea he's had in his life. What is he doing trying to set you up, anyway?

[strideallknight]

I'm single, Cronus is single, and apparently that was all Bro thought was needed. Doesn't help that Professor Donaghue is Cronus' dad.

[Dave definitely appreciates this. There's a reason he's going to Dirk about this and not Bro, who will probably just. Encourage things.]

By the way, Bro also set us up with wine earlier, and no, I didn't drink a fucking drop. I like to think I have more wisdom than that.

[toocoolforthis]

He could have chosen me, too. Whatever. I can't claim to know what goes on in his head.

[Really, he can't, though it pains him to admit it. And he can understand why Dave wouldn't go to Bro, who's responsible for the whole thing in the first place.]

Wasn't going to accuse you of it, lil' bro.

[strideallknight]

And how easy would it have been to get you to agree to a blind date compared to me?

[Yeah....]

On the plus side, since Bro pretty much encouraged us to order whatever the hell we wanted, I went and made sure I got the most expensive shit on the menu as payback. As well as cover the cost for people other than me.

[Vindictive? Dave? Never.]

[toocoolforthis]

That depends.

[...Okay it would have been pretty difficult right now because he's in the middle of developing a spectacular love potion crush on Jane, but at any other time he would probably do it for the irony.]

I'd say he'll slaughter you, but he brought it on himself.

[That deserves a fist bump, in fact. They are so nice to their father.]

[strideallknight]

If it involves the potential to get put on a blind date with Cronus or Eridan?

[He shrugs, and that fistbump is so returned.]

Hell, if that gets me outta another date with the dude, then I'm all for this slaughtering.

[toocoolforthis]

Don't think you have to go that far. Bro can be a dumbass but he ought to be able to realize when something isn't gonna work.

[strideallknight]

If he doesn't, then have at 'cause I'll be too busy keeping Cronus outta my pants.

How's the party so far?

[Topic change!]

[toocoolforthis]

[Topic change is a go.]

Not bad. Boring as shit, mostly. Haven't seen Jane around yet.

[Not mentioning Jake? That's because Jake's busy. Or something. Dirk isn't sure but he knows Jane's going to be here and Jake isn't.]

[strideallknight]

Oh, yeah, she was asking about you while offering to tutor me in potions. She's probably around here somewhere.

[toocoolforthis]

She was? What about?

[He definitely isn't looking around the room for her right now. Or at least he's not moving his head.]

[strideallknight]

[Man, now that he knows what he's looking for, it's pretty obvious to see that they have it bad for each other. Damn it all.

Oh, well. He can at least help get them together. Matchmaking little bro go!]

Mostly trying to see if she could catch you while she was tutoring me. And maybe probing for info.

[toocoolforthis]

[Once the week is over, Dave can be consoled by it being due to love potions. And everyone will probably regret that he helped.

In the meantime, Dirk's raised eyebrow is a clear invitation for Dave to go on.]

Didn't know she was tutoring you in the first place.
