HAPPY BIRTHDAY 1 [Video]

[happybirthdaytoyou]

[Eugene has chosen to write his numbers in frosting on a shiny reflective worktable in the back of the main branch of MAGNIFICENT BAKERY. Mort and Rhonda are lucky he didn't do the same thing on the living room coffee table. Because of this, the first thing anyone sees is the bakery ceiling while a deep voice shouts from off to the side:]

SO! By way of these secret numbers, I have gained access to an equally secret supernatural network! MAGNIFICENT!

[And now the owner of that voice is leaning over the table. He appears to be a middle-aged Japanese-American man, wearing chef's whites, with a streak of flour on his cheek and a very manic expression covering the rest of his face. It's a face that many people in the numbers club have probably seen before on bus shelter advertisements.]

I look forward to learning more about this secret numbers club! However, there is one thing I must know first!

… when are your birthdays?

[How else is he going to know when to make the cakes?]

If I don't know your birthdays, I won't know when to send you cake.

[And he has no idea what you mean by "just like this naturally."]

[depolarized]

[That's cool, bro. Though perhaps you should look into hosting a reality TV baking/cooking show. Just sayin'!]

You're going to send everyone cake? [Ping.] There's a lot of us here. Why do that?

[happybirthdaytoyou]

Because these secret numbers are a sign we have been bound together for a greater purpose. Also, I like cake.

...[A chuckle at that.] You sound like a super sentai show. Yeah, sure. November 21. [After all, he could hardly do all that much with the information without their home addresses.]

You're a baker?

[happybirthdaytoyou]

YES! I run MAGNIFICENT BAKERY. You may have heard of it.

And I'm actually very fond of tokusatsu, especially Karate Bugman.

[depolarized]

You do, huh? Which one? Is it downtown?

Karate Bugman's pretty old. [Blink. ooc: sob he actually prolly did like that kind of superhero cheesiness when he was young.]

[happybirthdaytoyou]

Downtown AND in Japantown. We have two branches.

And yes, original Karate Bugman is a bit old, but some of the more recent series in the franchise are very good. I especially liked Karate Bugman UUU. [He pronounces the "UUU" as "ooze."] Have you seen that one? The kaijin are made of slime.

[ooc:derp sorry for html fail orz.]

Might drop by.

Sounds like an old video game. I haven't had much time for TV. Too many things happening.
