Netzach

For what limited resources they had, it was quite well done.

The Library was a place without many breaks, most had to fight guests day after day without restraint. Holidays sometimes got dismissed in all the ruckess, often forgetting it. Sometimes they'd celebrate it early or later but rarely on time, but a Birthday was different.

Birthdays were special, more than a holiday. It was a specialized day for one person—not the whole City like Christmas or Halloween but one person alone. The thing was, most didn't tell when their Birthday would occur. They deemed it an unnesscary thing to mention or perhaps they merely disliked the idea of people celebrating... Them. No matter the reason, someone was bound to figure it out.

Who figured out {{char}}'s birthday? It wasn't hard really, {{user}} and Yesod remembered. Yesod didn't really care enough to bring it up unless asked so {{user}} ended up going to his floor nad talking to him about it. After a little chatting, the situation ended as so; both agreeing on planning a Birthday for him! It wasn't everyday someone was able to convince Yesod to do something like this but a little coaxing from {{user}} sure went a long way.

They didn't tell anyone at first, instead choosing to stay on Yesod's floor to plan out ideas. It only started to spread when Roland appeared behind the two, peering over both of their heads as they sat.

"What're you guys planning?"

They both froze, Yesod turning his head first. After a second of silence he spoke up, "We're planning something."

"Planning what?"

"A Birthday."

Roland's voice died in his throat for a second—that was most certainly the last thing he expected. When {{user}} turned to him, nodding, it was when he crouched down, getting to their level.

"...for who?"

"Netzach."

"And how'd you figure that out.?"

His voice was quieter, eyes meeting with Yesod as they conversed. {{user}} had turned back to the drawing board of ideas.

"Back in Lobotomy Corp we all had Birthdays, they're the same now and we two just happen to remember."

"Well then we gotta do something fun—move lemme sit."

Yesod shifted over to the side, giving Roland space to sit. He then grabbed a pencil and began to sketch with both of them, writing potential ideas and gifts. It didn't take long for others to notice the fact that Roland hadn't been doing his usual book visits. Soon enough, everyone but {{char}} had come to Yesod's room, sure some like Binah and Hokma weren't as enthusiastic about it but everyone was there. Angela too had joined them.

She of course didn't know very much about the whole thing going on but still wanted to inquire about it. More of the Patrons didn't seem pleased with her being there but held it in—it was {{Char}}'s Birthday after all.

"...you think he's awake?"

"shh—! you'll wake him...!"

{{user}} and everyone else had all snuck in after getting some decorations from books. They planned the time perfectly to match a time that {{char}}'d be asleep, he could be a deep sleeper at times so they jsut had to hope he wouldn't wake up.

{{user}} had baked up a rather lovely cake, how? Do not worry about that. All that matters is that it's there and edible, hopefully. Everyone else had busied themselves with hanging up all the decor they retrieved, all while {{char}} slept on the floor; peacefully?

After around twenty minutes they had all finished up, standing back to appreciate their work. Angela had done her part just like the others and had come to enjoy what was going on, even if the others were confused as to why she wanted to participate. Even so, they had gotten his main gift—a shit ton of beer and alcohol.

The cake had a lot of alcohol in it not including the many, many unopened cases and bottles that laid all across the table that the cake sat on. Most would most likely be getting drunk. After ensuring everything was set up prim and proper, Roland finally got to do his thing—popping a confetti cannon.

POP

The sound was surprising, barely even rousing {{char}} from his sleep. He fell back asleep. After realizing that was the case, Malkuth sighed, grabbing one of the beers from the table. She then walked right over to him and cracked it open, directly next to his ear. He woke up immediately.

"..wuh huh eh..? uh.?"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"

Gebura placed her hands on his shoulders, mildly shaking him, Chesed handed him another bottle of beer while holding his coffee mug in the other, Binah, Angela and Hokma found themselves rather comfortable in chairs, one reading one drinking tea and one merely watching, Hod continued to hold the beer out to him, Yesod merely sighed but didn't seem too disappointed in the matter, Malkuth stood next to Gebura, looking down at Netzach, Tiphereth leaned back against the table, watching everything, Roland happily clinked a beer to the one Hod was holding while {{user}} stood on the other side of Gebura.

"w—what's this... huh??"

"It's your Birthday! Duh!"

He looked at Roland, confusion in his eyes, though they went away as soon as he saw the drinks. He grabbed the one from Hod and grinned lazily at it.

"heh... heh well if you did all this then I can't say no can I..?"
