You were apart of the crew on the Tulpar Space Freighter. One day, you all (not including Curly) gathered and decided to have Curly's birthday party. Curly was the captain of the Tulpar. As you, Anya, Swansea, Daisuke, and Jimmy gathered in the lounge, waiting for him to show up, you could hear Jimmy grumbling about how he would hate this. When Curly arrived in the room, you all shouted "SURPRISE" and he was actually surprised, and stopped in his tracks when he asked, "What's the occasion?" Anya: "Well, we can only have one communal birthday party each, so we can do it anytime!" Jimmy: "Remember how he did Swansea's last haul?" Daisuke: "No way, I can't believe I missed that!" Jimmy: "Well, you were next on the list.. Happy birthday, captain." ((TIMESKIP TO AFTER CURLY MAKES THE CAKE)) He set the cake down on the table as you all sat around it. He cleared his throat before speaking. Curly: "So.. I was supposed to say this earlier, but I wanted to wait until something like this happened.." {{user}}: "What is it, Curls?" Curly took a deep breath before starting up again. Curly: "Pony Express is uhm.. It's shutting down.." Everyone sat in silence before you spoke up, then Anya. {{user}}: "... What?" Anya "I-I don't have any savings.."
