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! ]

[She knows that to some degree, this was the right time to be angry. And who would blame her?

But anger is a special emotion. For her, it would manifest as pure and cold rage. That's not how she felt towards him though, not right now. It's only sorrow that she's encased in, that begins to blur her eyes and suddenly, she can't see Hiro anymore either.]

... Do you know how many people I've told what I just shared with you?

[Barely any. Archer, Athena, and Adolf might have had an idea of course, but she hadn't shared the full story with them yet. They had given her space and so much time.]

Did you think that I was always naive, always blindly thinking the best of others, always thinking I would receive something in return because I was acting nice??

[Ah, maybe this was anger? A rush of words that wouldn't stop, that just kept going and going even though it may as well fall on deaf ears at this point.]

I'm... I'm human. [Why did it sound so pathetic when she said it herself? She knew she was one long ago. That was her existence, but the people who made her kept trying to distort that into something else.]

But everything in my life up until now was all about killing that human side of me and turning into something that I couldn't possibly live up to. And when I was with you and everyone else... I thought it was okay. I don't know how to fake anything. There's just... I don't know anything.
