[ Peppering anything with humor is Klaus's only real defense mechanism now, but it also helps open doors that might otherwise be difficult to handle. ]

I'm on my way back to the apartment complex.

What'd you do? Or what scheme have you come up with?

[imprudency]

ye of so realistically little faith

so in case you havent noticed in your short time here with us on this delightfully fucked time traveling astral plane the hargreeves family has a fun little disappearing act we apparently like playing

i took a little spin right before you got here and now that fives back i feel it my elder brotherly duty to inform you that if you decide to walk your little tentacles back across one of those portals i will personally conjure you now that i know your perfectly coiffed self can come here and i will make you suffer

im going to eat all of your new favorite foods and make you sit there and watch me while playing backstreet boys on loop

in other news allison and i are watching the bachelorette this weekend and eating a tub of ice cream so be there or be square

Since when are you the elder brother? We're all the same age.

AND you know I have no control over what the portals do or don't do here either, so is threatening to be a cruel little psycho man making you feel better about fear keeping me here somhow? Or do you need to go on a little further?

What kind of icecream? And which Bachelorette? Is it one of the love stories or one of the drama seasons?

[imprudency]

ive definitely time traveled more than you so therefore im older ;) and while i know the portals are unpredictable and we have no control im only letting you know my expectations

as your elder brother

allison and i have decided on pizza too. bunches of sides. and if you want to get fancy we can go shopping for personal pints but allison usually stocks the good ben and jerrys shit

pizza and ice cream are necessary for the bachelorette. its all drama and true love where im concerned

[imprudency]

oh excuse me
im looking for a cute pie boy
a little birdy told me a pretty redhead sent you homemade apple pie
and i am incredibly offended that one
you didnt share
two
you didnt tell me about said redhead
i happen to know her and i could have even put in a good word for you

[ And he probably already has, but you know. He's not going to admit to anything kind. ]

[ilovedirt]

You need to know about my pie consumption? That's news. Are you a pie addict now, Klaus?

Also, who said I need a good word?

[imprudency]

ah yes youve caught me pie handed!
but i dont need to know about your general pie consumption ben
only when said pie is made by my beautiful redheaded wifey whom i so love and adore
and whom i will definitely give good words even if youre right
you dont need it you pretty bastard
i hate you for that

text; 9/25 late evening

[sanguinescry]

Thank you for the flowers, they're so pretty ❤️ I'm glad you liked the pie. I wasn't sure it would be great, but it was the first one that was neither undercooked nor burned, so you should feel really special.

text; 9/25 late evening

[ilovedirt]

I'm glad you liked the flowers, I didn't know your favorite or anything so I went with what I thought was just pretty.

I do feel special ;) And it really was tasty so even more impressed!

[sanguinescry]

Well, you done good, sweetie.
They're beautiful.

I'm so glad you liked it. There was like an 80/20 that you'd enjoy it versus it would give you food poisoning or something.

[rumores]

Hey, just wanted to check in to see how you’re doing.

text, 9/27 morning;

[ilovedirt]

I'm doing okay

Better question is how are you doing after everything?

[rumores]

Honestly? I’ve been better, but I’ve just been trying to stay busy.

I’m sorry it’s been so rough around here since you arrived. Are you all settled in? Do you need anything?

Happy Birthday, Ben.
Want to do lunch downtown with me? There's a street that has like six food trucks that show up around noon and hang out until dinner time. My treat.

text; 10/1

[ilovedirt]

Six you say? I'm definitely in, I haven't tried any foodtrucks around this place yet.

And happy birthday to you too, old man.

[solipsistically]

At least, yeah. Sometimes more. All right, I'll meet you in front of the apartment building at noon, does that work with your schedule today?

Yeah, thanks, kid.

happy birthday; 10/1

[sanguinescry]

( Left outside Ben's door, is a box of birthday cupcakes and a birthday card with a little note:

I heard it's your birthday today so I thought I'd try my hand again. This time, I stole one and tasted it so I know they're good.
Happy Birthday.
❤️ Lydia )

happy birthday; 10/1

[ There are things afoot in the Hargreeves family, and Ben being invited to an outing with Five is no birthday coincidence. For when Ben returns to his apartment, he'll find one wall decorated with twinkling lights and a happy birthday balloon ensemble. The room itself is filled with crepe paper streamer in all varieties of color and glitter hanging from the ceilings, brightly colored balloons everywhere, and a haphazardly wrapped box on the table. It's wrapped in newspaper from the Sunday cartoons. Inside, Ben will find two tickets to a local roller coaster park, and the other is a bottle of expensive red wine. On top, in sharpie, the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY GHOST BITCH. WELCOME BACK. -K are scrawled across. ]

[ Someone else has taken advantage of the fact that Ben's apartment was otherwise occupied. Alongside the newspaper gift on the table, there's a plate of homemade peanutbutter fudge with a small note attached. When the note opens, it will burst with little sparkles and glitter, all magic, that fade as they fall.

The note reads:

I heard the commotion and birthdays aren't to go uncelebrated. Happy Birthday from your neighbor.

- R. J. Lupin, 204

P.S. - when the inevitable cleanup is upon you, I'm more than happy to lend a hand. ]

happy birthday; 10/1

[ Sorry, Ben, but Klaus had some help in decorating your apartment. Not only because she wanted to join in, but also because she wanted to drop off his gift as well - a batch of homemade apple cider donuts (and yes, she made them), as well as a gift bag with different spreads for him to try. In front of the donuts, there's a a card with a note:

Happy birthday, Ben! I hope you like them. Here's to many more new adventures and food to try.

Love,
A.

[ Although he had only met Ben that night that Klaus had invited him to watch television with him and his siblings, an envelope is slid under his door in the morning. In it, there's a birthday card and a gift card to the local bookstore.

Happy birthday, Ben. I hope you have a great one.

Hey Ben, would you be able to keep the boys on Tuesday night, and most of Wednesday?
