Cola never did shit for me, personally.

Of course, neither did birthdays. Narcissistic little holidays. Suppose everyone's got one, though.

[Private to Matt]

So, got a birthday wish?

[myownmemory]

Narcissistic?

...What's everybody talking about, this Cola thing?

[consecratedash]

Holidays focused on personal rot, you know. Celebrate your own birth, that kind of shit.

[A little pause, mostly for Mello to roll his eyes.]

There's a cola machine lurking around out there. Think fizzy battery acid. Course that might not mean anything to you either.

[myownmemory]

It's not rot, to count how long you've been existing. A year's a long time to look back on. A lot of important memories can happen in a year.

Fizzy battery acid? So it's like the drinks at Thorn, only fizzy.

[consecratedash]

Never been much for sentiment, myself.

[..]

Right. Not a bad example, come to that.

[gamepatch]

Chocolate Coke would probably be an acquired taste. Worth a try though.

[Private to Mello]

Nah. Would've been a big two-one though.

[consecratedash]

Yeah, I don't see that going on my menu... ever.

[Private to Matt]

What, no bullshit kink requests?

[... A little sigh.]

I know. Far as I'm concerned, it counts. Might not age, but you've still been around for a certain length of time.

[gamepatch]

C'mon, I know you know how to live dangerously.

[Private to Mello]

Ever know me to need a special day for that?

[Pause.]

You know what's fuckin' weird? I can't grow facial hair.

[consecratedash]

No one loves toxic material sludging up their veins.

[Private to Matt]

...mm. Makes sense. After all, you're dead.

[Behold the awkward silence. Ugh.]
