So I've had a thought, and it might seem silly, but I figure it's worth a shot!

[Usually, when she gets that kind of look in her eye, it's not the kind of thought that's going to leave her- or anyone else- alone for a good long while.]

I know a lot of us are here alone, and that's bad enough- but it's even worse on a birthday! So I figure while the calendar here might not match the ones from your homes, and it might take some finagling to figure it out...

Maybe we could set up some kind of committee or something- so people don't have to spend their birthdays alone!

[Cupid what.]

Of course, I'd have to make sure people would be willing to give their birthdays up first, but I mean...

[A bright, hopeful grin.]

Who doesn't love free cake, right?

Well, I figure with as... down as things have gotten lately, a little pickup for the community at large might do some good.

[The community at large? Well, birthdays can be restrictive in some ways...]

Why don't you hold one of those potluck things?

Hmmm, maybe... wouldn't that be a bit impersonal for a birthday?

[A pause and then thoughtfully-]

Although a weekly birthday party might be easier than one every few days...

[redpeacoat]

Gonna run yourself ragged.

[One person can only do so much. Plus, not only would you have cake, but others could bring other party food. Like maybe this guy maybe maybe]

Well, I'm hoping I'll get volunteers to help out. If not, well... I don't tire as easily as mortals do. I'll manage!

[Please help her, Shinji. Otherwise she really will run herself ragged.]

[The next sound out of his mouth is a long sigh. He remembers the Christmas party.

But he's not doing anything important anyway. Might as well help make life better for the other visitors.]

Nobody's volunteered yet?

[reassigned]

Well no, not yet... but I'm sure they will!

[Bright and optimistic as ever, yep.]

[redpeacoat]

You need to come up with an attack plan. Figure out what you're going to do, and what talents you need to pull it off.

People won't think they're good enough to help if they don't know what to expect.

[And without saying it out loud, he's already starting to help. In his caring-that-seems-uncaring-and-harsh way.]

Well, I've planned my share of parties, but it's always a lot easier with Olympus on my side, you know?

[But she nods thoughtfully, putting a finger to her chin.]

I guess I should put together a list, maybe make another announcement later?
