Chase, yawning, slouches down the stairs and takes a seat at the bar. "Just coffee and some toast, thanks."

The Bar obliges. Next to the toast, however, a small cupcake with a candle on it also materializes, with the number 27 written on it in frosting.

Chase blinks. It takes a few sips of coffee for this to register.

"Oh!" He grins, and bites into the cupcake. "Thanks, Bar."

Anyone want to come wish Chase a happy birthday?

Jack is on his way outside for a run when he spots Chase at the bar, digging into...a cupcake?

"Isn't it a bit early for that?" he asks with a teasing smile as he approaches.

He laughs. "Yeah, but I get to make an exception today."

[action-antihero.livejournal.com]

Jack thinks for a second before realizing it's the 17th, doing a mental *facepalm*. "Of course. Happy birthday, Chase."

[ooc: Meant to mention this in last tag--gotta go to work but wanted to at least start a thread.]

[OOC: No prob--I probably shouldn't be on LJ at work right now at all. *grin*]

"Thanks. I'd forgotten all about it, actually. I wouldn't have remembered if Bar hadn't given me the cupcake." He grins.

"Then I guess you and Kim don't have any plans. If you wanted some time to yourselves tonight, I can always take care of Angela."

Lets assume that Angela is with Chloe for a bit.

Chase is glomped from behind by a smiling Kim.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

"Ack!" He drops the cupcake onto the bartop and his grin widens as he realizes who he's being glomped by and turns to greet her. "Hey!"

[agirllost]

She giggles, "Hi. Happy Birthday, Chase."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

"Thanks." He moves over to make room for her, still grinning. "Man, 27. I feel old."

Ramon walks by and isn't planning on stopping, he's on his way to sleep off the activites of the last week. But he sees the cake and can't resist a quick comment.

'White frosting Edmunds? Is that courtesy of Castle by any chance? I've heard all about the two of you...'

Yeah, he's laughing, a lot.

[OOC: Sorry couldn't resist - he's not staying though, don't worry... :D]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

[OOC: Hee! I was actually debating sending him over to Ramon's entrance post for a little bit. Can't let him have an entirely happy birthday, can we? :)]

Chase tenses as he recognizes the voice, and flinches at the mention of Lee. He grimaces, disgusted, and has to put the cupcake down, because...ew.

"It's sad that you don't have anything better to be thinking about right now, Salazar."

[latino_menace]

[OOC: Hee! Of course not! Unfortunately, I have to hit and run, about to get kicked outta the library, grr...]

'Oh, after the week I just had Edmunds, it's pretty surprising I can think about anything else.' Hence the chilled and smug expression. 'Still, I cant say I've given you and Castle any thought because I dont want to make myself sick. But you do make a lovely couple I'd say...might have to fight Andres for him but that shouldn't be too hard.'

He claps Chase on the shoulder and laughs. 'Well, I'll leave you to your little cake. Just wanted to say hi - I'm sure I'll be seeing you and Kim around. And your daughter.'

He leaves, laughing.

He grits his teeth so hard it hurts. You'll see Kim and Angie again over my dead body, fuckhead...

He notices that the Bar has changed the frosting on his cupcake to chocolate, and sighs. "Thanks, Bar," he says quietly.

It's a safe bet to say that his birthday isn't very happy thus far.

[ ooc: mun is at work, too, but mun is boooored ]

Tony is eyeing the cupcake.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

Chase takes another bite, licks frosting from his lips and looks up.

It is his birthday and he has chocolate. Tony's presence cannot ruin his good mood. "What, you've never seen a cupcake before?" he says.

Reasonably good-naturedly, all things considered.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Today's your birthday, isn't it?" he asks. It's not as if he had everyone's profile memorized.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

Chase blinks, but he's done his fair share of credential-memorizing too, and the fact that Tony knows his birthday doesn't really alarm him.

"Yeah."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_chappy_/]

And there's a Ryan nearby, in a peachy mood after his talk with Ramon and he sees Chase with the cupcake.

"That's a healthy meal," says the man who once referred to cigarettes and coffee as the 'The Breakfast of Champions'.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

"I figure I get to let healthy eating slide for today," he says dryly.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_chappy_/]

"What's the occasion?"

He's guessing a birthday but he doesn't memorize people's files like some folks.

Well, not everyone's.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

Which is amusing, because Ryan's file is one of the few Chase did memorize. Though Chase has never been quite sure why.

"It's my birthday." He would be considerably more cheerful, but Ramon's been getting around.

[el-vago.livejournal.com]

Look! It's not a CTU Employee! Thank god! His mun is also being attacked by exclamation point fever!

Andres takes a seat at the bar as well and looks over curiously. "Special occasion?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

And Chase, upon recognizing Andres, is attacked with a sudden wave of misplaced resentment.

"Yeah," he says dully, "it's my birthday."

What did Ramon mean, I'd have to fight Andres over Lee?

[el-vago.livejournal.com]

He nods and smiles amiably.

"Felice Cumpleaños. Then. And how is your birthday going thus far?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_righthandman_/]

He coughs. What the hell am I doing? I'm not seriously acting jealous over Lee, am I? I can't even stand the guy.

"Pretty good," he says, his tone becoming a little friendlier. "Not counting the part where Ramon Salazar decided he had to stop by, but otherwise..."
