When the feed switches on, it shows Desco wearing a party hat, her tail wagging fiercely behind her.

"Hello, Desco's adorable subjects! Today, Desco turns five! Therefore, you are required to come give her tribute! There will be cake for all successful tributeers!"

She pauses slightly.

"Oh! Also, Desco now lives at the Shinonome residence, since the rest of her family has disappeared. So come there, got it?"

[Nano doesn't forget birthdays, so of course she's already all set with a big cake for Desco. It's frosted in purple and red like the colors of her chitin, and half of it also has jagged pieces of metal sticking out of it - the other half is clearly for Nano herself.]

Happy birthday, Desco-chan!

[tyrantball]

YAAAY HAVE ALL THE HUGS, SECOND-BEST SISTER

[all_wound_up]

[Nano gives her a big warm hug right back, patting her on the head.]

[tyrantball]

Desco wiggles in appreciation for a few moments before floating over to sit at the table.

[all_wound_up]

[Nano smiles, heading over to the table herself.]

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Desco!
Happy birthday to you!

[And then she claps happily.]

Blow the candles out and make a wish!

[tyrantball]

Desco does so immediately, expending no visible effort to do so at all before loudly declaring her wish.

"Desco wishes for a Space Castle to launch her assault on Celestia from!"

[all_wound_up]

Let's hope it comes true...

[Nano's learned to deal with statements like that, and her smile is only slightly nervous as she pats Desco on the head.]

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Ah, happy birthday, Your Majesty. You have reached a milestone today.

[Shelly is baking a cake for her right now shhh.]

[tyrantball]

"Yes! Desco will continue piling up milestones until she ALL THE TROPHIES."

[dekillerqueen]

[Hmm. Perhaps he shall add a tiny trophy to the cake.]

Where is this Shinonome residence, incidentally?

[tyrantball]

"In Pisces district! Desco painted a dragon skull with purple glitter and put it next to the mailbox!"

[dekillerqueen]

Then perhaps I will pass by.

[And deliver his gift.]

[tyrantball]

"Yes! You are always welcome to offer tribute to Desco!"

[Voice]

[press_start]

[Oh, so she's five. Any other person might have their reservations about five-year-olds running around like this, but Nanami seems pretty well-adjusted to the quirks of Hinoto-Ri's array of Visitors.]

"Hello, Queen Desco, happy birthday!"

[Nanami takes the liberty of adding a short blast of trumpet fanfare into the recording.]

"What sort of tribute would you like the most?"

[tyrantball]

"Force multipliers for her military invasion of Celestia!"

[press_start]

"....I'm sorry, but I'm not from your world, you see. Could you explain a bit, how would one go about getting force multipliers for a military invasion of Celestia?"

[tyrantball]

"...hmmm. Well, Desco is going to try and establish an Item World outpost here, so please bring her equipment to outfit her troops in!"

Slight pause.

"Oh! A three-pack of t-shirts! Get the largest size, because Desco looks really cute in those!"

[press_start]

[Ah, yes. T-shirts were something she could get her hands on. Not that she didn't want to try to source for Force Multipliers, if she could figure out if there was such a game mechanism available around here....]

"Mmm, I see. What colors does Queen Desco look the best in, then?"

[tyrantball]

"Oversized t-shirts have to be white!"

[thirdarrow]

Takakage doesn't really know Desco all that well, but he does know that birthdays are very important to modern folk. Thus the message.

Happy birthday, Miss Desco. May your next year be a fulfilling one.

[tyrantball]

Of course! Desco is going to conquer Celestia!

[thirdarrow]

Celestia? May it be a land in your home realm?

[tyrantball]

You humans usually call it Heaven! It's where angels live.

[thirdarrow]

[ Heaven... in Abrahamic religion, the promised realm of eternal life for those of virtue. ]

Why is it the target for your conquest, then?

[tyrantball]

One: Mommy is there! Two: Big Sis's will is to extend her dominion over all of existence!
