14th Match // Video - August 21st

[fuelthefire]

[Krieg is in a much better mood than he has been in for months. So when the video feed opens up, his masked face is right up against the 'Gear, just like old times, as he excitedly announces:]

Today's my birthday!

Guess my age and win a prize!

And no cheating if you already know!

[Says the man wearing an almost entirely face-obscuring mask. No one said this was going to be easy!]

[maybeitsmabelline]

Hmm!!

[Mabel strokes her chin as Princess Chomper the Gible attempts to mimic her where she sits beside the young girl.]

27!

[Video]

[fuelthefire]

[He laughs.]

Too low!

[spacebaloney]

Thirty-one.

[Lance is shooting higher than he probably should, but it probably takes a few years to get to the level of crazy that Krieg is operating on.]

» video

[fuelthefire]

[Actually, it probably takes less than a year to reach Krieg's level of crazy with the right kind of motivation. 8')]

Nope! Wanna try again?

[schachmeister]

I don't think people will be able to make any accurate guesses with your face mostly covered.

[There Armin goes again, trying to inject logic into this situation.]

Video;

[fuelthefire]

No one said this was gonna be easy!

[Come on, Armin, you know Krieg's not a fan of "logic."]

You've seen my face! Wanna guess?

[lordofthefries]

I didn't know it was your birthday, Mr. Krieg! I think you're...

[Sasha squints and tilts her head in deep concentration. The mask does make it pretty hard to guess accurately.]

Twenty-nine. Also you have to have a cake, so I'm getting you one.

[Guess who's gonna get a meat cake?]

» video

[fuelthefire]

Angel picked it! It's the same day I got here.

[He doesn't remember his real birthday, so today's as good a day as any!]

Wrong!

...What kind of cake?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'd say... Younger than me, but by less than ten years.

[Cecil that's not a guess, that's a uselessly wide range.]

[video]

[fuelthefire]

Pfff! You gotta pick a number or you don't get a prize!

[Video]

[keep_surviving]

I dunno. Old? Like, 35? That's pretty old.

[Video]

[fuelthefire]

Pffff! Nope! Wanna try again?

[Video]

[disarmingstrikes]

Mmmmmmm- forty-two.

[He has zero basis for this besides shitposting.]

[Video]

[fuelthefire]

Not yet!

[Shitpost away, good sir!]

video;

[shiro2hero]

Six.

Like me.

[He is absolutely pulling your leg, Krieg. He figures you're really a few years older than he is for real... but...]

video;

[fuelthefire]

Pffff! Way off!

Video

[sleepallthewayhome]

Umm....

[Newt is seven, so this will go well. He's an adult but that could be a lot of numbers.]

30!

Video

[fuelthefire]

Not anymore!

[She picked a really good starter number, though!]

Text

[tookashirototheknee]

As old as your tongue and slightly older than your teeth.

Also, happy birthday! Come over if you'd like. We'd love to see you.

[fuelthefire]

NEither of those is a numbeR!

We have to have an anniversary partY! LOts of anniversaries this month!

[sociallychallenged]

[Hell of mask to suddenly find on your screen. Sure. Makes as much sense as anything else has.]

Well, I guess since I'm late to the betting party, I'll just say happy birthday.

So uh... How does the birthday thing work here? Because mine was just a few months ago back where I came from, but now it's next month.

[He's already too damn old and could use less birthdays, but now he's curious.]

[fuelthefire]

There's no bets, just guesses!

[But if this guy doesn't want to guess, that's cool, too.]

Pfff! Don't ask me! I forgot my real one, so Angel said we could use the day I got here, instead.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Happy birthday, in that case. I hope you're having a pleasant one, full of meat and fire.

And you're exactly as old as you are.

Video

[fuelthefire]

No meat and fire yet, but there'll be plenty of both tonight!


...That's not a number, Miss Fitz.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

FIFTEEN!

<sub>[Surprising nobody, this is bellowed at full volume.]

[Wrath may or may not have a great sense of human aging and the passage of time.]</sub>

[Video]

[fuelthefire]

[In Wrath's defense, Krieg does tend to display all the maturity of a fifteen-year-old.]

Nope! Try again!

[notvaljean]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Is Jean yelling? Damn straight he's yelling, because this is good news on top of good news, what with so many people coming back lately, and he knows Krieg will appreciate it.]

LET'S ALL GO TO THE ISLAND AND BARBECUE!

[fuelthefire]

I'M ALREADY HERE!

[Of course Krieg appreciates it!]

You better hurry up or you'll miss the bonfire!

[No, he won't, actually. Krieg would totally save some bonfire and some BBQ for Jean.]

Video

[brokencode]

[They're absolutely in the same building right now; Angel could have this conversation with Krieg face to face but... he's having such a fun time with his game that she wants to play along.]

I don't think it is fair for me to guess. I don't suppose I get a consolation prize though? [She lifts a hand to muffle her laughter.]

Happy Birthday, Krieg.

Video

[fuelthefire]

[He's a little puzzled that she's responding to his video post via video instead of just. Coming to see him. But if she wants to do it this way, that's fine by him!]

Thank youuuuu!

You get the best consolation prize!
