THE "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" MEME
1. Post!
2. Tag!
3. RNG: 1-10
4. Have at it!

1. Forgotten Birthday
Did everyone forget your big day? Were you really hoping for some company, or just a damn present? If only one person remembered... It'd be okay even if they're late.

2. Secret Birthday
Birthday? BAH HUMBUG. You don't want to be reminded that you're turning 50 or 500 this year. It's just another year of receding hairlines and sagging breasts. Seriously. You don't have a birthday. (Or hey, maybe you just forgot to mention it. That happens too.)

3. Expensive Birthday
Time to splurge! You only get to do this once a year, right? So everyone better bring some damn good presents for how good a bash you're throwing. Getting thrown, maybe, with Daddy and Mommy's money.

4. Double Birthday
There's nothing quite like the kinship of being born on the same day. Maybe you're twins, maybe you were cloned, maybe you just budded off asexually or something. Or, you were just lucky. Better figure out who gets to blow out the candles.

5. Surprise Birthday
Did everyone forget your birthday? This is the wrong number, isn't it? Hey... isn't it awfully quiet? Where did everyone go?

6. Senile Birthday
Birthday? Whose birthday is it?

7. Unbirthday
It's not even your birthday, but the hell with it, you want cake. And balloons and streamers and maybe a fucking pony. Well, you're going to get them. And some tea, if that's your thing. Either way, this is going to be the BEST RANDOM DAY EVER.

8. Romantic Birthday
Nothing says I love you like actually remembering when your significant other started existing. After all, this is only one of... 5? 10? Occasions of the year where you get to ~~spend too much money~~ spoil them.

9. Crashed Birthday
Who the hell are you? This is a private party!! Wait, what do you mean poisonous hamsters from Zanzibar are in the pantry?!

10. Deathday
Hell yeah, the day you were released from the ties of the living world. Nothing quite like it. This is an absolutely festive occasion. It's a great day to haunt someone you know! Or something.

[Duchess had been awaiting this day for quite some time. Though the process of finding the perfect gift for Elliot's birthday proved to be quite the challenge, the young girl had found one that she hoped to be to his liking.]

Excuse me, Elliot?

[A small smile appeared on her lips, as she approached the slightly older male with the gift hidden behind her back; it being a small box wrapped in a blue paper, with a yellow ribbon attached to it, and inside held a pocket watch that she felt lucky enough to find.]

It is a special day today, is it not? [She then pulls the gift from behind her back, lifting it up for Elliot.] This is for you.

[Elliot half-turns at the sound of his name, blinking when he sees who it is. Then he turns properly to face her!]

Duchess. [He nods, but falters as soon as he lays eyes on that little gift. Embarrassed, he glances to the side.]

You didn't have to, [is what he says, not unkindly, before moving his hand to take the gift slowly. Gloved fingers fuss at the ribbon.] Thank you.

[Once he has taken the gift, she places her hands neatly over her lap.]

Of course I had to! It is your birthday, after all.

[Elliot looks down at the gift for a long couple of moments, then makes a sheepish noise.]

Still. I wasn't expecting that many people to remember. [Now he tugs at the ribbon, pulling it loose and carefully tugging apart the paper.]

I am certain that others took the time to remember, just wait.

[She watches him fumbling around with the wrapping paper.] I only hope that I helped on giving you a very happy birthday.
