What's the point...

[allons_y_alonso]

 ...in having a birthday if you don't even get the day off work for it?

Do you really?

I haven't had a job in decades; I'm out of practice.

[thneed]

Mmhm. It keeps everything organized and a boss can't be expected to remember every employee's birthday.

What was the last job you had?

[allons_y_alonso]

I was a schoolteacher in 1913.

[thneed]

1913. Woah. Lucky students...

[allons_y_alonso]

There was some debate on the subject.

[thneed]

Why? What were you teaching them?

[allons_y_alonso]

It wasn't that. Aliens attacked the school. Looking for me.

[allons_y_alonso]

Not a very cheery subject for a birthday, though, is it? Never mind that. Come down to the Phony and grab a pint; I'll try to keep Jack off of you.

[thneed]

Oh.
Well. That's... Uh.

Yeah, okay. -Who's Jack?

[allons_y_alonso]

You haven't met Jack? Just a friend of mine. A very... friendly... friend.

[thneed]

I don't think so. ...Friendly is -good? Right? [ why are you saying it like that ]

OOPS WRONG CHARACTER

[allons_y_alonso]

I'm glad you think so! You'll like him, then!

SOUJI FELT LEFT OUT. and i am up for anything

[thneed]

Okay... great.

Let me just make something quick if it's your birthday.
What's your favorite color?

Re: SOUJI FELT LEFT OUT. and i am up for anything

[allons_y_alonso]

Something for me? Really?

Blue!

[thneed]

Yup! For you because it's your birthday. It'll be super useful and I have yet to give anyone a blue one of these so there you go! Birthday special.

[chronosexual]

Captain Jack Harkness. And who might you be?

[thneed]

The Once-ler. Hi.

[chronosexual]

The Once-ler? Interesting name. I'd love to hear the story behind it sometime.

I think I've seen some of your performances on the Network. You're talented.

[thneed]

Yeeaaah. The story isn't that great. It's kind of a terrible one, actually. Heh.

But thank you! You really think so?

[chronosexual]

I do. You should play nights at the Phony. They desperately need some performers, even if they don't think that they do. You'd be a real shot in the arm, trust me.

[thneed]

Wow. Yeah, I'd do it if they hired me! That'd be great.

[chronosexual]

Rude. That's a good word for you, Doctor. You know that I'm happily involved.

[allons_y_alonso]

And of course, that means you're always aloof with new people.

[chronosexual]

I'm just being friendly.

[allons_y_alonso]

That's always where it starts.
