Thank you for coming! Please, enjoy yourself by all means! Remember to say, "Happy Birthday," to Hiro too please.

[ This is the greeting given by the birthday girl. Ai's face is aglow with cheerfulness that couldn't be beat as she welcomes guests inside the Sanctuary where some nice music is playing. It's the most convenient place to set up a small party after all and there's even a few things to do for fun if one isn't sticking around just for congratulatory birthday greetings:

A) FOOD

Where there is Ai Thao, there is food. Lots of it. Starring a peach birthday cake made by the Man, the Legend, Chef Archer. Aside from those, there are some Vietnamese spring rolls, roasted meat, some healthy salads, and colorful cookies and drinks! (Hey, did someone bring hard cider to this party...???)

Ai might even collect your plates and clean up after you isn't she nice? Oh, that's not Ai, it's a robot who's taken on the same skin tone as her owner... Creepy. Ah well, at least it's being helpful although it might say every once and a while, "Thank you for coming to my birthday party!"

B) Piñatas

How cute, there's a few of these cute piñatas hanging around in the ceiling. When you try to bat one down for the sweet candy innards though, they are just out of your reach. Ai Thao (real one, not the similar looking skin robot) giggles because she's passing by you. Ah, she's the culprit. Those guys can't move on their own after all.

"Sorry, sorry! I couldn't help it."

Oh, so that's all... Actually hey wait, some of those piñatas ARE trying to run away?! Try to catch one, but these little bastards are pretty fast for cardboard full of candy.

C) KARAOKE

There is a TV screen, mics, a karaoke box and an endless selection of pop music in all languages. All of them. Try to belt out those tunes, serenade your loved one, get the highest score, no one's going home a winner anyways.

(Ai's robot is sitting at the machine and taking the mic, humming in a voice that sounds too similar for comfort...)

D) Late Evening

Let's settle down. Maybe chat and catch up with other people. It's a good a time as any right? The lights are low, the cake's been served, there's hot tea (and booze still???) and there's a lovely lamp projecting stars onto the walls. What a nice mood!

(It might make your robots, should they come to the party look rather eerie though, especially since they developed that layer of skin.)

[ OOC: Robots are free to be at the party and tagging each other is encouraged! ]

[It was hard to say if Hiro wanted to listen to her or if it was because he had no choice. But in the midst of Ai's speech, he came to a shocking realization...

She was always an honest person. He was so used to dealing with two-faced people that he found it hard to believe that there was someone who only had one single one in this world. Maybe earlier on... If she had done something like lie, cheat or done anything delinquent-esque and contradicting, he wouldn't had reacted this badly right now.

When he thought back on it... She was created, right? She was raised in a lab, right? She was molded to be a certain way, right? Just how much pain did she have to endure? Just what did they do to her? His stomach was doing backflips just thinking about it.

"Nothing was ever mine."

When he flips those words around... Was that a cry for help? Should he had extended his hand out to her like he's done for Miyako and multiple people when they needed comfort? Become the hero who makes everyone laugh, smile and say the magic words to make all the bad things disappear?

He wasn't sure if it was a result of him becoming something more than human (lots of things felt different, yet he was still himself... Right?), but...

What he did just then... Might have not been any more different than those cruel mad scientists in her world.]
