[Sam's broadcasting from a seat at Your Place, a milkshake on the table in front of her.]

Having now completed a couple years of it, I'm now pretty sure everyone under a hundred is improvising this 'real adult' stuff. And as for the rest of you? [She grins a crooked little grin, pointing at the camera with a cherry stem.] I've got some suspicions still.

[The broadcast would end there---and does, briefly---but the network's treated to Hiro hijacking Sam's drone to properly inform other Haveners.]

Hey, so, uh, what Sam means is that it's her birthday and she's just being cryptic. So, y'know. Don't let her forget it.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I appreciate your sincerity. [It may be because Knock Out mostly voices snark and sass, but hey. The appreciation is authentic.] And should probably recommend you to Subzero as a resource. You should have been there for the conversation when he asked what humans run on. We tried to break the whole 'omnivore' thing to him as gently as we could, but...

...you probably would've found it entertaining anyway.

[Not that it wasn't.]

Oh, please recommend me to him. I'm going to blow his mind. It'll be hilarious, you can watch.

Deal.

I'll do my damnedest to stay straight-faced for as long as I can.

Well, now I'm just going to try my damnedest to get you to laugh.

Really? I would just be not wanting to interrupt whatever you were telling Subzero about---or whatever he was asking about---at the time. But, if that's the way you wanna play, fine.

[this is shaping up to be a pretty good birthday]

I have a feeling that would happen even if I did try to take it seriously.

Hence the trying, for what good it would do. I've never been stoic! [She indicates herself with a flick of both hands, smiling crookedly.] What you see with me is what you get, for the most part.

One of the many things I like about you, to be honest.

While we're being honest, you're welcome to list some of the other things.

[There it is: the little wise-ass grin. Sam's only as serious about this as she is about most things, which is to say 'not too terribly.']

In that case, I appreciate your modesty.

[Knock Out sees your wise-ass grin and raises you one cocky asshole grin.]

I'll take that.

[No wonder Breakdown isn't quite sure how to feel about this friendship.]

I'd like to know, though, whether or not you will take... a birthday request.

I can't say I'm entirely familiar with this whole human birthday thing, but I don't see any harm in taking a request.

I guess it's a little late to tell you you're welcome to ask about anything y'wanna, but I can't feel too too bad because you're not a shy sort and the offer's up now, at least.

[Sam's little smart-ass grin shifts into something sunnier.]

I would like to request a ride just screaming around the city. Top Gun soundtrack suggested, but of course entirely optional.

As long as I get to listen to Danger Zone at least three times on repeat.

[of course he's seen a movie that cheesy this is knock out]

[As Sam herself said, she's not stoic---her day has just been made, and it couldn't be clearer.]

I wouldn't dream of objecting. When's a good time?

Any time, really. I don't exactly have a full schedule.

How bout now, then?

Now sounds perfect. Where is that you're sitting? I'll swing by and pick you up.

I'm in the upstairs at that Your Place bar. You been before?

[Honest question. If he has, she wouldn't expect him to recognize the human-scaled seating---it's pretty out of the way,]

I haven't, actually! But I think I know where it is.

Okay! I'll finish my shake quick and be outside to meetcha.

Don't drink it too fast, I hear humans can freeze their brains doing that. Be there in a bit.

[he gonna hang up and be on his way zoom]

[By the time Doc Knock arrives, Sam will be waiting outside, although she'll've happily avoided the singular agony that is the ice cream headache.]

Hello, hello.

[Knock Out rolls up and pops the driver's side door open all inviting like.]

Well, hello there. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.

[Sam just grins as she gets herself settled into the drivers seat, giving Knock Out an amiable pat on the dash before buckling up.]

Not at all! And even if there was a wait, it would've been worth it for the hang-out time.
