Kaoru hasn't shown up for work in days. Kaoru, if you see this, you better come in to work. You're then head waiter. You don't just get random vacations.

And if he doesn't see this, I'm offering a reward for returning him. Alive only. You can get a free meal and dessert in the best restaurant on the ship; so if you know where he is bring him back.

[I guess... Canada was wondering about that?]

If- if you need someone to help cover until he gets back, I could do some...

[maple_syrup_can]

Eh-? I'm not? B-but I've always- [He pauses, trying to take that in. This... is going to be completely different from what he's used to, isn't it.]

Um, w-what should I do then?

[maraihi]

Just show up! Everything else will be taken care of.

[maple_syrup_can]

[Canada's confused. Is that like a surprise party without the surprise?]

Really? I can be there at 1:00 then, if- if that's all right... b-but please don't go though any trouble on my account...

[maraihi]

Of course. Silly. You should know how birthday parties go by now.

[maple_syrup_can]

...I'm sorry. This will be my first birthday away from home, and it seems that it will be ...quite different from what I'm used to...

[maraihi]

Really? What's different about it?

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah, well... [how to explain...?]

Everyone in the country celebrates, so it's kinda... a very big celebration. It's a holiday and there are concerts and fireworks and other special events... and I like to just watch...

B-b-but of course I'm not expecting something so big here!

[maraihi]

I'm afraid it won't be quite that big. But we can have a nice little office party. Or kitchen party.

[maple_syrup_can]

I'm sorry. I'm very, very grateful for it! A nice little kitchen party sounds perfect. It's very kind of you to take the time-

[maraihi]

We can even have a little cake! How many candles should I put on it?

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah...
...
Candles for how old I am?

...M-maybe just put on twenty?

[maraihi]

20 years old, huh? All right then.

[OOC: Did you actually want to do anything? Maraich would just throw a small party among the employees.]

[maple_syrup_can]

N-no, but... just twenty candles will be all right.

[ooc: For just a small 'kitchen' party, it's probably all right to just hand-wave it, but thank you! ♥
Canada will be properly abashed and thrilled. ^.^]

[maraihi]

How old are you really?

[maple_syrup_can]

[*blush-!*]

Ah- a- a hundred and forty four. [Sorry, he's so young-!]

So- I'm afraid that many candles won't fit...
