( to wanda maximoff's close cr )

[catholica]

( this...could be a bad idea but he knows that wanda's not going to do it on her own and he thinks she deserves the recognition.

would she get angry and not speak to him for telling everyone? possibly. would he be setting himself up for revenge? absolutely. )

Can everyone do me a favor and wish Wanda a happy birthday today? She's not going to tell you that it's her birthday and she's going to think it was a mistake to tell me but —

Well, it's out there now. You don't have to sing to her or anything but I'd get a kick out of it if you did.

( ooc: please know this was cleared with wanda's player beforehand and this was supposed to be posted yesterday but i fell asleep. )

She thinks she can hide this?? That fool.

She's gonna get it.

[ Is Julie using birthday celebrations as a threat? Yes. Yes, she is. She's seeing Wanda the next time Nocwich is open. There will be a beautiful little birthday cake. And sparklers. ]

[catholica]

( see, this is why matt decides to tell people. because now wanda gets a very threatening sounding celebration. )

Please tell me there'll be cake for it. I don't think she's had one in years.

[princessvegas]

Well duh. How else do you make a fuss about a birthday?

[catholica]

She's probably going to drop me into a hole for this so I'm trying to imagine it before it happens.

Make sure you sing too.

[princessvegas]

It's Wanda. She can drop you in way worse places than a hole.

Don't worry. She'll have to make a wish and everything.

[catholica]

If she does that, just remember the good I did before she makes me disappear forever.

Think of me well.

[princessvegas]

We'll hold a real nice memorial service for you.

[widows_kiss]

Already on it, lover boy, but good job on being so on top of things.

[ Even if Natasha knows Wanda's birthday is a complicated holiday for her, considering her twin, but she's glad someone else is bullying her into celebrating it all the same. ]

[catholica]

Do I get to ask what you're planning?

Something ridiculous, I hope.

[hextechhead]

And she almost got away with it too.

[catholica]

Close but no cigar.

I had no idea she kept it from so many people.

Private to Matt

[hextechhead]

Probably because of her brother.

[catholica]

Yeah, I guessed that.

But I know she has a lot of people who love her here and she should be able to hear that. I bet her brother would want that too.

[hextechhead]

I agree, and I think he would too. It's probably the reason why she kept it quiet though. But maybe that's all the more reasons we try to provide her with a positive memory.

[catholica]

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. If anyone deserves something positive and just

Good, it's her.

She might come down on me for telling everyone but I'm glad her friends will be able to wish her a happy birthday.

[hextechhead]

I have a feeling she'll forgive you very quickly, don't worry.

[ordinar]

[Hm...who is this man who's apparently close to Wanda...]

She probably doesn't want everyone making a big deal about it.

[catholica]

( are they going to size each other up? )

No one has to make a big deal.

But acknowledging it is a good thing.

[ordinar]

[Mild suspicious-of-mom's-new-boyfriend vibes over here.]

I'm just saying, if she didn't want anyone knowing about it, and suddenly like 50 people are in her brain saying happy birthday...

[He also assumes, of course, that Wanda knows just about everyone.]

It's a little overwhelming.

[catholica]

I don't disagree.

But I'd hope that not everyone that gets this is going to run to her and say something.

Maybe they'll see her in person and say something. Maybe they'll just say something later.

[ordinar]

I guess.

How do you know Wanda?

[catholica]

( ah, that's — a good question if only because they haven't really done the labels thing. )

We've been seeing each other for a few months.

When we can.

[ordinar]

Oh.

[Is it weird that he doesn't think of Wanda as somebody who dates? Like, obviously she can do whatever she wants, but...]

That's cool.

[actualwizard]

[ Hmmm mom trying to get out of her birthday huh? ]
Oh, thanks for the heads up. I’ll make sure to corner her today. I should probably make sure she doesn’t hex you too bad for this either.

[catholica]

I'd appreciate that too.

I don't know what a hex from her would entail for birthday announcements but I don't think I want to know.
