Why hello there! [Snow White looks even cheerier than usual, which is impressive considering her general nature.]

What a lovely winter we're having! [Snow, having come from German winters of the Renaissance is honestly quite cozy with all the inventions Trench has to keep you warm. ]

Now, I've never gotten to celebrate my birthday before, and since it's today, I was hoping for some ideas on what I might do! I have been told, quite vehemently by my beloved, I'm not allowed to bake my own cake.

Though, I don't think there should be a party, I don't wish to waste food for something that doesn't matter all that much. Just something small should be alright. So, I would love to hear any recommendations you might have!

I hope you're all staying nice and warm and fed as well! If not, please let me know and I will be happy to help with food and clothing.

Why thank you, Robby! Goodness! That does sound fun. Are you really very sure it's not too short notice?

And a present! You're all going to spoil me!

[strongroots]

If you can't get spoiled on your birthday, when can you be? It doesn't sound like a problem to me, anyway.

Why don't you let everyone know what your idea of a good birthday party is? C'mon, give the people listening ideas.

[onebadapple]

I don't know. [She's never been spoiled, so.]

Well, I would want there to be lots of dancing. I've always wanted to be able to go to the balls my stepmother held where everyone was in beautiful outfits and dancing for hours and hours. And when I danced with the dwarfs, that was so much fun! We all sang and danced and told stories! It was much rowdier music than what is played at the grand balls stepmother held but I liked that music much more.

I'd want there to be all sorts of yummy treats for people to eat as well!

[strongroots]

So- lots of dancing, and lots of food people can snack on between the dancing. I'll make sure Peter knows about that - I'll even help him find some good dancing music.

[ A beat, and- ] I'll even stick around long enough to give you a dance. I know a few moves.

[ They're not all karate! ]

[onebadapple]

That's wonderful! I'm sure you're a wonderful dancer! I know a few dances as well. I watched the grand marches and promenades from the shadows. And then I got to practice with my dwarfs. Oh, I wonder if Silly Song can be played in some way.

It was the first song I ever got to dance to with friends. It has very fond memories for me.

Oh, the only thing about all the food... there won't... there won't be any apples, will there?

[strongroots]

Silly Song? We can try looking it up on your omni and play it that way, but - you don't like apples, we don't need apples.

[ A pause, his look thoughtful. ] You have a bad experience with them?

[ She'd mentioned no apples before to him, but that questioning was rather..off? ]

[onebadapple]

I can hum it, if you like? I can thankfully carry enough of a tune that I think I might be able to recreate it.

Oh, well, I used to like apples. But after my stepmother poisoned me with one, I... can't look at them without feeling faint.

[strongroots]

[ --Holy shit? Pause on the song right now, with Robby's brows furrowing. ]

What? On purpose?

[ Not just a really crappy apple pie food poisoning way? ]

[onebadapple]

Hm? Oh, yes, that was the second attempt. The first one was her forcing the huntsman to cut out my heart. He couldn't bring himself to do it, though, and he allowed me to escape.

I'm sure when she found out, that's why she came to poison me herself.

[strongroots]

[ What the fuuuuck. Which is definitely an expression he's wearing in hearing all this, but he's got some self-restraint not to just swear in front of Snow White (even over video). ]

Your stepmom had some issues. [ To say the least. But a beat, and- ] Well, she can't ruin your big day here. And you wanted that one song, right? I bet if we can find it on your omni, I saw some people saying about going to the Red -- we could get it played there. Or someone musically inclined?

[ Which isn't him, but he's lifting his voice like, maybe there's such a person?? ]

[onebadapple]

No, she certainly can't. And I'm very glad she isn't here while I am here, honestly. I have you, and Peter and Rose, I have so many lovely friends and made a family of my own!

Well, I can sing it if you like? I know the tune by heart.
