R1 DEADLAND PT2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?
How strange.
But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

Note: locations lag a week behind the living counterparts

Oh, hey! It's... for you, actually, haha. Happy birthday!
[ Mishima beams and gestures toward the cake. There is indeed a small card next to it that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WAVER, so he's not messing with you!! ]
I mean-- it's probably not technically the 365th day since your last one because of all the weird time stuff, but it's the right day according to the calendar, so. We just go with that.
no subject
waver looks at the cake. he looks at the card, and then at mishima, who looks so happy about all of this. ]
I didn't even remember that it was my birthday. Why would you guys do this sort of thing for me?
[ at least waver's not angry about it. even if his arms are crossed, he looks more...confused and embarrassed about it than anything else. ]

That's notable, considering it was where she spent about all her time, in the living version of Fayflower University.
But...
But this is the first time since. She looks...uncomfortable? Definitely a little uncomfortable, but she's covering it with a smile, as she approaches him with...oh, did she make him something? Yes, some of Rebecca's signature stovies. ]
Well, why do you think, you silly boy?
no subject
[ for the same reason that connor compliments him. why rebecca hugged him, and why 2d tried to cheer him up, along with hank and maya.
because they care about him.
just the thought alone brings tears to his eyes, and he has to duck his head to wipe his eyes with the back of his arm. ]
You're all...so dumb...you shouldn't have...
[ he's appreciating it, i swear ]
no subject
A thank you would be nice, you know.
[ But there's nothing harsh in her tone. She pats him on the shoulder and sets the food down. ]
Now, we may be stuck in this place, but there's nothing to say we can't enjoy the time we have with the people here with us.
no subject
I guess that's true. I just...never thought anyone would do this for me. Even when I was alive.
no subject
Happy Birthday, Waver.
no subject
Hey, that just means it's never too late. Happy birthday, and congrats!
no subject
Yeah, you have friends who like you a lot who are happy that you were born!
And even if some of us don't know you that well yet, we can all agree that what happened to you was unfair and seriously sucked. So you deserve something good for a change!
[ And by throwing this party and not inviting his murderer, he's basically checking off both boxes on the guild mission statements list! ]
no subject
[ waver looks visibly surprised over the fact that mishima would say that. it's obvious that he hasn't done this in a long time...and that he does yearn for it. for kindness. ]
no subject
[ It should be obvious, right? Rebecca even went to the trouble of making... whatever that food is!
But... well, it's not like he can't kind of understand the disbelief, really. He definitely knows how easy it is to get used to not being acknowledged, if that's why he's so surprised by this.
He tones down his enthusiasm a little. ]
...You know, the day you first showed up here was actually my birthday, haha. [ Hence the piece of cake he was holding at the time, which hopefully now makes more sense in retrospect. ] That was the first time anyone had really thrown a party like that for me, and it was nice, so.
[ Even if he'd been blatantly advertising it to everyone beforehand in hopes of getting one. ]
You deserve that too!
