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! ]

[Hiro goes eerily blank after hearing those words. He's not sure what he heard, but it sounded like glass. The sound of something in his head shattering.]

...

[This wasn't matching up to the Ai that had always envisioned and maybe even idolized to a certain degree in his head!

It was like how he thought Yamato was doing everything for the greater good and he revealed that he was going to brainwash the world for his desires, then Ronaldo who acted like a great hero, yet he was fueled by the selfish fires of revenge... Then Miyako who acted kind and helpful only to reveal that she was going to sacrifice everyone for her great plan...

Hell, he knew that even Saiduq wasn't as pure as he lead people to believe. Then Keita, Jungo, Joe, Makoto, Otome, Airi, Hinako... Even Io and Daichi... He's seen the worst of humanity in complete strangers and even his friends. Hiro knew that humans were self-serving creatures at heart, yet...

Why isn't she saying what he wants to hear? "A happy ending exists for the both of us." He knew it wasn't true, yet of all people to say those fairy tale words... He expected it to be her. Just one gentle lie.

Why? Why? Whywhywhywhy--]
