[Voice/Action] Forward-dated to the afternoon of the 9th
[He should have seen this coming- it's like it's some kind of retaliation for what he'd done on Teddy's birthday. He still manages to be surprised when Teddy shoos him out of the apartment some time after breakfast on the 9th, barely given time to grab his coat and stuff his laptop into a bag before he's been officially banished from his own home.
...Well then. Looks like he's in the wind today. First things first: while he isn't usually the type to announce this kind of thing, thanks to having the afternoon to himself (whereas usually his birthday is filled with doting parents and obnoxious little brothers vying for attention) he's feeling indulgent enough to go for it, and he remembers something in particular...]
Okay- first of all, question for everybody. Now that I know about that whole... Valentine's Day thing that's supposed to happen every year, does anyone know how to avoid it? Or should I just lock myself in my room for a few days and hope for the best?
And second, to the X-Men? If the team training is still on for today, it's probably safe to go ahead and assume I won't make it. I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday. But happy birthday to Logan whenever he gets back- 180 is a pretty big landmark, right?
[Hopefully he won't get killed for that one, but he just couldn't help himself. Even if the accuracy of that number is questionable.
The rest of the afternoon will be spent in the following ways: goofing off in the Battle Dome with some self-indulgent hologram scenarios blatantly ripped out of Star Trek, wasting time in Seventh Heaven with excessive amounts of coffee and his laptop like a proper teenage hipster, and then, when his battery's running dry, returning to building #5 to bully Teddy into feeding the laptop's power cord under the door, at which point he'll be curled up on the floor outside his apartment playing Minecraft or something while he waits for his boyfriend to finish... whatever he's doing in there.]

I've only heard of them from Isamu and Naoki. Apparently they're a common thing in their world. People there pay money to go to a special building to see them.
[Action]
I've actually programmed one into the Battle Dome, if you want to see it.

[Nobody has mentioned to Richard that a theater can have more than one movie showing in it at once.]
[Action]
[The sky's the limit, bro.]

[Action]
[He's teasing, honest. Mostly because he has no idea who Asbel is.]
[Action]
No, Asbel is just a good friend. There isn't anything between us like that.
[Action]
[Action]
[Whoops. He thought you actually meant it, Billy.]
[Action]
Are you dating anybody, though? Because you could bring them. Or we could make it a whole party, if you wanted.
[Action]
Richard's face falls at this, though he's quick to try to smile again.]
No, there isn't anyone like that in my life right now, but I appreciate the offer. I might just bring some of my friends instead.
[Action]
Ah, okay, sorry. But friends are good to watch movies with, too. Now we just have to figure out which one.
[He thinks for a moment.]
Do you read? Is there a particular kind of book or story that you like?
