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?"

[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!"

[dekillerqueen]

Tribute...? Who is to say that is my intention?

[tyrantball]

There is a long pause.

"...Desco's rules are very firm: no tribute, no cake. But since Desco likes you, she will allow you into her presence, okay?"

[dekillerqueen]

That is exceedingly kind of you, Your Majesty.

[LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW... OF HIS CUNNING PLAN.]

[tyrantball]

SHE WILL COMPLETELY APPROVE OF HIS CUNNING PLAN

when she finds out

"Yes it is!"

SURPRISE ACTION

[dekillerqueen]

Later, Shelly approaches the door to the Shinonome Residence.

With a box that is most definitely cake-sized.

[tyrantball]

When Desco answers the door, she manages to keep her red eyes from widening in surprise at the sight of the cake box.

She doesn't manage to keep her golden eyes from reacting, however.

"Oh! Tribute!"

oh god sorry this is kind of late

[dekillerqueen]

That is entirely too many eyes and Shelly feels like he may never get used to this kind of thing.

"Once again, happy birthday, Your Majesty." With a courteous little bow, he hands her the box.

s'alright!

[tyrantball]

"You're a tricky one!"

Desco's tone is approving as she accepts the box and hands over a party hat.
