Birthday Prep! (OTA except Senku)


Setting up food!

Plenty of people have offered to bring a number of treats - cookies, savory dishes, snacks ... Gen was placing a half-sheet cake, decorated with planets and with 'Happy Birthday Senku' written in frosting on the table. He looked quite pleased with himself, and would help lend a hand with other food.


Setting up decorations!

There were roughly a hundred origami stars to fold, which Gen would spend most of his time doing, especially if he didn't have any help. But after, he'd be stringing them up all around the dining car, creating an effect like a starry sky from the ceiling.


Setting up party favors!

Then, of course, there were paper flower crowns to fold. Gen had no idea how many people would end up coming, so he wanted a fair number - any extras could sit in the Arms Band or up his sleeves as part of a surprise to spring on people later. You never knew when you needed a paper flower crown!


Setting up the escape room!

This is really what Gen hoped he'd get the most help with. He only had so many math tricks up his sleeve, and he was very certain that Senku knew them all already. At least Nita would be lending a hand! Otherwise, Gen was sure any room he'd make, Senku would solve in minutes.


BIRTHDAY PARTY

Greetings!

Gen would greet the newcomer with a bright smile and an origami flower crown - placed right on their head! He'd direct them to the food, and let them know of the escape room upstairs. Have a lovely time!

Food!

Cake! Cookies! Popcorn! There's some spicy, savory food that's been made by other passengers, too. But hey, at least take a slice of cake. That's what this party's all about!

Escape Room!

Featuring math, puns, and clever little questions fellow Voidtrain passengers could come up with. Of course, anyone can enter and leave as they'd like, but perhaps if they look particularly stuck on a problem, another person could help them out?

Birthday Boy!

Somewhere in this mess, Senku would be available to chat with. Probably. He's not really expecting a party, or gifts, or even a kind thank you - but all would be appreciated.

"Ah, well it's not a mirror like you would think, made of glass or silver, but it was in use from neolithic times until about the Qing dynasty in China." Senku explained.

"It just predated it and we work with what we've got. Except bronze apparently, because Taiju was freaking out about it." He rolled his eyes a little.

"Huh. I've probably even seen one and just not noticed, then."

Being from China, and being of a rank where he gets shooed into all the fanciest estates and temples when he travels. But he's never paid a lot of attention to the decor, despite his hosts' hopes of impressing him. That included all the ancient artifacts squirreled away and put on display.

"So what did you end up using, instead?"

"At the time, nothing, although I have a mirror now. I realized that the reason my sextant was such garbage was because the Earth had tilted and lining it up with Polaris no longer gives true north. So I use a magnet." It was an extra step, but it was worth it in the end.

"Better than going sixteen kilometres off course."

"I guess the planet had plenty of time to... shift like that, huh?"

It's certainly not a problem Koumyou would have considered.

"Yeah." Senku agreed with a bit of a nod. "The Earth has tilted on its axis. Everything about the topography has changed. Mount Fuji, for example, has erupted up to ten times while we were all sleeping."

"That's... uh... that's a famous mountain in Japan, right? I think I've seen a picture..."

Koumyou isn't the most well-traveled guy.

"That's right. It's a stratovolcano, and the highest mountain in Japan, and it's still active."

They were not living close to the volcano, it would be hard to know when it erupted last, frankly and he couldn't deal with that wiping out humanity at the moment.
