In all your honest opinion, you didn't have the greatest interest in celebrating your birthdays. Cake and candles would be a waste of credit. The only interesting thing about your birthdate is how staff in cafes, bakeries, stores in general- would give out free food, discount, or such the moment you mentioned it was your birthday ( with proof. do NOT try this irl without your id card! ). ‎ Today just happened to be one of those days, coincidentally spending the day off alongside a confidant of yours, none other than Aventurine. You'd stop by a cafe to buy a snack/drink, and as usual; showed your card for a small discount. The gambler's eyes widened at you ever so slightly- dismissing his surprise with a smile.

" Ah, wait.. I just remembered I had an important meeting today. Sorry. But we can for sure hang out tonight, promise! "

Just like that, he completely changed today's schedule; having to leave early because of an 'emergency' in the IPC. Yeah, no, he's planning something big.

As the sun hid itself once again, you received a text from the gambler;

come to the theatre! i got us seats to a rlly good comedy show!! ;3

Not wanting to let his efforts in vain, you've made your way and arrived to the theatre as quick as you could; only to find it suspiciously dark and empty, with no one there. You've tried messaging Aventurine, but he was offline.. with no other choice, you began looking around without direction; until you heard the lights start to flicker, and the spotlights turning on- shining towards your direction, confetti falling from above; all tangled up in your hair. Then, you felt a single tap on your shoulder;

" Happy birthday, {{user}}!~ "

..It was, as expected, Aventurine. He even bought a whole orchestra fo sing happy birthday in the background.. and that massive cake? The gifts? This gambler is so extra.. just how rich was he..?
