=/\=Myqian here. Uhhh.. what do you mean…=/\= But Dira didn’t get to finish her sentence.There seemed to be some other voices on the Commander’s side fo the comm and she was clearly distracted by something else.
Commander Myqian, XO
“Yes, yes, indeed,” Ria, the Mad Hatter, exclaimed. “You all need to have tea and cake! How could it be an unbirthday party without everyone having tea?” She got up again and dragged the remaining officers, who weren’t already seated at the table, over and forced them down to sit. Or at least tired to depending on how much they tried to resist. But whether or not everyone took their seat, she started to fill all the cups anyway.
Looking up, Ria suddenly said, “But we don’t have an unbirthday cake!” Without another word she hurried over to the replicator and after some coaxing managed to get it to replicate an unbirthday cake. It was a rainbow coloured vanilla cake with white frosting, red sugar roses and one pink candle in the middle. Carrying it over to the table she asked, “Whose unbirthday is it? You have to blow out the candle!”
~Ensign Iyun, the Mad Hatter
“Why my dear, if today isn’t your birthday then it was be your unbirthday cake! Luckily we have enough ‘tea’ to go along with it too! Sadly my unbirthday is in March or I’d love to blow the candle out, but instead I will simply enjoy watching you do it instead. Only as long as you share though! Can’t stand a stingy unbirthday party with no shared cake!” Achilleas said while gesticulating wildly and nearly spilling his ‘tea’.
CSO Petrakos
“Oh, but of course! Today is my unbirthday! But it is also yours. We all have lots and lots of unbirthdays! Isn’t that fun?” she giggled and was about to lean forward to blow out the candle when she continued, “But first we have to sing. No unbirthday without singing! You start!”
Achilleas smacked his forehead and exclaimed, “Of course we need the song! How could I forget?” He quickly stood and cleared his throat before he began the song in a baritone:
A very merry unbirthday to me!
To who?
To me!
Oh you!
A very merry unbirthday to you!
Who me?
Yes, you!
Oh, me!
Let’s all congratulate us with another cup of ‘tea’! A very merry unbirthday to you!
Now, statistics prove, prove that you’ve one birthday
Imagine, just one birthday every year
Ah, but there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays!
Precisely why we’re gathered here to cheer
Suddenly one of the NEs chimed in, “Then today is my unbirthday too!”
It is?
What a small world this is
In that case…
A very merry unbirthday,The NE replied, “To me?”
To you!A very merry unbirthday
And Again the NE asked, “For me?”
For you!
Holding the cake towards the NE, Ria finished, “Now blow the candle out my dear
And make your wish come true
A very merry unbirthday to you!”A very merry unbirthday to you!
~Ensign Iyun, the Mad Hatter
With the song done and festivities well underway, Achilleas lifted his tea cup and shouted, “Cheers!” He took a heft sip before he eyed the unbirthday cake. “Now who has a knife?”
CSO Petrakos
“Here is a knife,” Ria giggled as she picked up one of the butter knives from the table. It wasn’t exactly ideal to cut cake, but it would have to do.
Having either embraced the madness or having been exposed the most to whatever is causing these symptoms, science has become the epicenter of the madness as indicated by the remaining science crew, except the lone NE monitoring the situation joining the Hatter and Hare at their wonderful tea party.
Several of the NEs sat around the table between Petrakos and Iyun singing harmony to the song, adding in random and untimely ba dum dums and Ooo Ooo OOOs to accentuate the lyrical masterpiece that was the unbirthday song.
GM Wombat
At that moment, over the general address system the cheery computer voice announced =/\= Attention Code Orange. Repeat, Code Orange. All emergency personnel are required to respond to their duty stations for briefing.=/\=
GM Wombat
It seemed that Ria had either not heard the announcement, didn’t think it was meant for her, or just decided to ignore it. Whatever the case, she busied herself with cutting the cake, trying to make precisely equally large pieces. Once that was done she started to put the pieces and plates and hand them around when suddenly an unusual expression played across her face. Well unusual for her anyway. Smiling mischievously at Achilleas, she stepped closer towards him while running one finger over the icing of the cake. Hoping he wouldn’t be fast enough to stop her, she reached out and tried to smear the icing across his nose.
~Ensign Iyun, the Mad Hatter
Achilleas was indeed not quick enough as he didn’t even attempt to move out of the way. With a look of surprise on his face at the resulting mess that became his nose, he guffawed loudly with amusement. He reached for a bit of icing and grinned in what might be considered a mock menacing way as he made to smear the icing across Ria’s cheek.
Petrakos, the March Hare
Ria giggled and tried to duck out of the way with the result that Achilleas missed her cheek, but got the icing in her hair instead. For a short moment she considered retaliation, but then decided that the cake and everything else was too delicious not to eat it. Not to mention that retaliation was something that happened between enemies, wasn’t it? And an enemy he was definitely not. So instead she said, “You should all drink more tea! Have you had a cup of tea yet? And cake and scones. You need to have something to eat. No tea party without good tea and great food.”
~Ensign Iyun, the Mad Hatter
Achilleas licked the remaining icing off of his fingers before wiping off what icing was on his nose. He grinned like a fool and took a slice of cake to eat. “You’ve outdone yourself with the cake my dear. Even better than the scones! Quite the achievement.” He moved closer to Ria and offered her a bit of cake on the end of his fork. “Now do say aww…”
Petrakos, the March Hare
Ria chuckled some more, but obediently opened her mouth. At the same time she was using the sleeve of her uniform to try and get rid of the icing in her hair. But for the most part it merely resulted in her smearing the icing even more into her hair than it already was. While she didn’t really care about it in her current state, once she was back to normal she’d probably be anything but amused though.
~Ensign Iyun, the Mad Hatter
Achilleas gently brought the fork to her mouth but didn’t get the cake in cleanly. Part of the icing get smeared on the side of her mouth. Normally he’d get her a napkin to help wipe it off, but in this current ‘situation’ his inhibitions were nearly non-existent. He leaned forward to where his face was extremely close to hers and lightly kissed the side of her mouth before he followed up and licked the remaining icing off. He shifted over a little and kissed her lips in full before he pulled back and grinned. “Mmm, definitely a tasty unbirthday cake my dear!”
