IRIS MESSAGE - MARCH 24, AFTER DINNER

[angeliaforos]

[Finally. Finally, he's got it, and he's so excited about this. At least, the cake part. (Thanks, Jehan.)

There's a part of turning 18 that scares the everloving crap out of Gabriel, especially being here, of all places, but he's not going to think about that right now. No. Right now, he's going to think about how freaking great this cake is going to be.

But first he's got a little matter to settle of who he's going to share his birthday cake with. He sends out an IM, the giant cake very visible in the rainbow.]

Really, guys? You're gonna let me sit up here by myself and eat the whole thing? By myself? Really, guys?

[He's teasing, of course. That was his idea of an invitation.]

[Gabe grins a little and pats her knee, and his voice rings out following her. It's nothing special, but it gets the point across fine, and he's on key, at least.]

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change - and did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage??

[With him joining in, it isn't hard to finish up the song.]

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
And how we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[He gives her a little smirk at the end, elbowing her in the ribs.]

You don't have a bad voice, y'know.

[toeverywhere]

Thanks. [She smiles at him.] So there. Happy Birthday.
