It's my birthday today, WHOO! I am seventeeeeeen. 10+7! I am a most excellent prime number! ... also the age Edward Cullen has been for a while, but let's not talk about Twilight on my birthday.
Anywave! It is my birthday, HOORAAAAH
I bequeath to you an urple Awake. Treat it well, for it has a great destiny before it. Or gas. It may just have gas.
Seventeen, A ripe, good age I have not reached yet (soon...)But I missed it! I'm sorry, but what can I possibly give for compensation... hmmm... Oh, I know! It's supposed to be for my brother, but since I did not miss his birthday, and after-birthdays can be even more fun than the actual day, here is a certificate to one Pinkie Pie Party for one whole day! It will be insane, but if you know Pinkie, then you know how nuts it can be. No garantes you won't die in a terrible forth wall acident though.
(But hey, come on, how cool would it be if you were crushed under the forth wall!)
You're dead.
(Yes, but imagine millions would be *sunglasses* watching the funeral.)
That was a terrible joke. Still, being crushed by a immanganary force used for theater... It would be talked about for years.
Ummm....*goes through pockets*...here it is! Have a Mini-Saber Lion named Artura.
I will cuddle her and squeeze her and love her zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I should... prolly go't'bed a coupl'a hourzz ago. I was readin' a new purchase, though. So. Stuff.
Never mind the Twilight similarities, seventeen is a lovely age, not that I would know... *coughI'monlyfifteencough*. Have a birthday hat as a celebratory gift!
The game of Pin the Tail on the Balrog shall continue! This time with a cake in the flavor of your choice and some confetti.
*Throws an entire basket of confetti in the air and walks off to let someone else clean it up*
I personally liked 19 the most... Lucky you, for you it is still something to look forward to. :)
Herpy birthderp! Have some lemming repellant!
Shiiiiiiny! I shall use it wisely.
Wow 17 already!^^
I feel so young xD
Anyways, enjoy your day! Eat lots of cake! :D
Have a Minecraft dog!
A... Minecraft has dogs? Interesting.
...but that's just nitpicking.
They're so cute and fluffeh.
You are now of age, if you're living in the wizarding world. If not, you have to wait another year. (Or not, depending on your country of residence.)
I was contemplating mentioning that. Instead I went with the Twilight reference because it's what popped into my head when I was typing. And I do, unfortunately, have another 365 days (not counting today) until I am legally of age. Canadia and all.
For that astronomy reference, have a full color map of the solar system. And my nostalgia. (I was a huge astronomy nerd as a little kid, and you saying "orbit" triggered memories)
Sweet! Is it to scale? :D
Do you want it by distance between the planets or by sizes of the planets?
Or? Hermione of Vulcan, really. Both. :D
*Solemnly places a party hat on Lilac's head, then leaves as mysteriously as she came.*
How strange. Suddenly I am wearing a party hat.
♪And a happy new year!♪
Also, Twilight.
The only twilight I accept is the time of day known as 'crepuscular'.
Have a special triple chocolate cupcake! Don't forget to blow out the candle!
Bit sensitive to sweets at the moment, but I'll put a stasis spell on it and pull it out once I've got enough savory stuff in me that I won't get queasy. Thanks! :D
Have a Balvhakara suit of power armor!
Hey, my birthday is tomorrow. I wonder how many other Boarders had their birthdays within the same two days or so?
I think I'll need a link to what exactly I've been given.
Hmmmm. The birthday problem means it's inevitable that a large enough group will have some pair with the same birthday, but a specific date is less likely, and 3 within 2 days is... hmmm... I don't think I know how to do this problem!
Well! First off, here is the link to the Bal's wiki page: http://wiki.drowtales.com/index.php/Balvhakara
It's from a webcomic called Drowtales, which I absolutely reccomend, except it's been running for over ten years and has tons of stuff to get through, and worldbuilding, and it's so freaking huge.
The Balvhakara are a clan of engineers. In the peaceful (until the current Civil War arc) city, they are the only one of the clans to actively prepare for war. Nuqrah is an extremely prosperous city, as the main clan, the Val'Illhar'dro, is a massive trading clan. So there's that.
The Bals make their living off warfare, apparently selling their goods to the clans that do make war, like the Val'Sarghress, the Vel'Sharen, and others. They make war golems (enormous mecha, pretty much) and power armor. I'm not sure of the exact specs of the armor, but it has blades that extend, I'm pretty sure it has mana blasts.
Want me to try and find some comic pages with the armor in it?
This probably wasn't clear - the Bals are from Nuqrah'shareh, a peaceful city, but they probably sell to the clans of Chel'el'Sussoloth (which include the Sarghress and Sharen)

Yay, happy seventeenth! -huggles- Here, have a war moose as a present.
And if movie!Thranduil comes asking where you got it, it's totally not his. :D
A war moose! Now all I need is another moose of the opposite sex and I can breed an army to protect my dwarves, aaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa
Shoosh about the movie, Kitteh, I'm not watching it until tomorrow! D:
And have some Nm&Nms!
