[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.

[Suspicion ahoy.] Does that one have headcheese in it?
no subject
No, but it's got the closest thing here to Kraken.
no subject
Aaaaand leaning far away from her and the milkshake.] Did you put squid in that milkshake, Sam?!
no subject
[Her first answer is a very small smile.]
What do you think?
no subject
Also have a squinty face.] I think you're just crazy enough to do it.
no subject
[Hiro's ideas about lots of things are odd.]
I'm just crazy enough to do a lot of questionable things, but no, there is no squid or squidlike creature in this milkshake.
no subject
[The shake still gets a mistrustful face.] Then what IS in it?
no subject
[The mistrustful face is fine, since Sam doesn't plan on sacrificing her shake to Hiro's INSATIABLE APPETITE.]
Dark spiced rum.
no subject
[That gets a momentary thoughtful face, then a very slooooow reach forward. He is undeterred, whoops.]
no subject
[Sam will just as slowly lean away, taking her shake with her.]
Hold up, buddy. You can have a taste, but we're going to have to have a talk. Goes back to that whole 'adult' bit, and being what you've got for a guardian.
no subject
Guardian? Makes it sound like you're some kinda ancient cursed cryptkeeper. Guardian of the abyss. Woooo.
no subject
[Sam pauses, having heard herself.]
Calvaire, câlisse, et crisse, I sound like such a stellar influence. But anyway.
I love karaoke, and used to go out to karaoke a lot. Consequently, I have seen a lot of shitshows, many involving the underaged in some state. So, now is as good a time as any to tell you that if you are going to have more than a taste of anything with alcohol in, I want it to either be at home, with me, or after at least telling me where you are, what you're doing, and who you're with. I'm gonna gently discourage you until you're older, but the bottom line? I'd rather have it out in the open and know you're not in a situation than try to crack down and not know.
no subject
[Hiro laughs a little at that, propping his chin in his hands and listening seriously.] Okay...that sounds, uh. Fair?
no subject
[Sam nods.]
Good.
no subject
[That settled, Hiro looks hopefully at the milkshake. Really, he's in it for the sugar, not the alcohol, but his curiosity's been piqued.]
no subject
[Sam slides the shake across the table, shrugging and smiling as she does.]
Banana shake, splash of rum, caramel drizzle. Happy birthday to me!
no subject
[Hiro takes a slow sip. Pauses. Takes another. Slowly wrinkles up his face and awkwardly slides it back across the table.]
Banana, ew. [It's a lie and a transparent one, but he's about five seconds away from gagging because of the alcohol aftertaste.]
no subject
[Sam watches with mild interest, a little amused as she accepts the glass back.]
Lemme recommend something like.... Oh, I dunno, a tin lizzy shake instead. That should be sugary enough.
no subject
I-I'm good.

no subject
Kiddo, when's your birthday?
no subject
The question gets a pause, like he actually has to think about it.] April 2nd.
[Another pause, then:] Wait, is it your birthday?
