[ DARE: purchase a stuffed animal from the zoo gift shop and leave it on someone's doorstep. ]
[he felt it more prudent to deliver the promised dessert in person, anyway. if he were to just leave it on the doorstep too, it could be crushed! nor could he send it through mailboxes, as it might spoil if left for too long.]
[so here's robert at 1406's doorstep, a plate of this in hand. and as he must further obey the dare's whims, he just kinda. leaves a little lion plushie near his feet.]
[ Well, hello there. Here's Hong Kong, ambling up to the door and opening it. He blinks at Robert for a split second, then raises a hand to briefly wave at his guest. ] Hey. [ A beat. ] What's up?
[ He waves his hand, like he's saying 'no problem.' ] I don't think he tells a lotta people. [ He steps aside, beckoning Robert to come inside. ] I think we're set, yeah? It's not fair if you have to show up with the cake and the candles.
[ As for the coffee... ] I kinda don't get it either, but it seems to work for him.
[a nod.] Well, it... is in the history books, I suppose? [he. thinks? this reminds him that he needs to do more research on iceland, wow.] Is it something like a constitution day?
[and robert doesn't actually... know what he intends to do after entering in here. or staying here. maybe place the cake in hong kong's fridge for him?? anyway, he sidesteps the plush and enters as bid.]
That's how I found out. I mean, I asked him after I read. Our birthdays can change, it sorta depends. [ His changed, but it wasn't because he got independence. ] Yeah, something like that, you could say.
[ You have to come in, Rob. Come in, bring your cake, have a seat. Let Hong Kong kiss your cheek. ]
[of all the things to expect, that hadn't been one of them. he tenses a bit and completely loses that train of thought. he should probably pretend that didn't happen? seems like the best course of action. smoothly transitioning:]
I'll just... put this. [slides the dessert onto the table and doesn't touch anything else.] Here.
Thanks. [ Hong Kong's just gonna pretend it didn't happen either. Ladida. Nothin' to see here. ] What were you saying? [ Oh right, he has to blow on your ear too, Robert.
But after, he's just going to beckon Robert over to the couch. ] Have a seat.
[he's recovering. unknowingly, he appreciates the lack of an invasion of personal space.]
... That was. I was going to ask if it depends on which government is in place at the time, or something similar. But it is an answer I could easily find out on my own, should I take the time to read more often.
I've read some of your history before... [well, china's history in general. specifically, macau's history. but. yeah.] I will do so.
[... how does he do that, indeed... normally robert would refuse, though he thinks that refusing might be a bit ruder, of which he cares about in this case. he hesitantly takes one of the snacks.]
Mine's pretty complicated. I mean, for only lasting a little while, anyway. [ Well, that'd apply for Macau too... ] It's kinda just good to get an idea of what history's like, y'know? Maybe that sounds weird. I mean, I read history books too.
No problem. I'm baking a lot for the bake sale and stuff. [ He likes to share the bounty...! ]
No, I agree. It's important... it would be nice if most others shared a similar viewpoint to that, however. [fucking people!11] I don't think many take the time to learn from past mistakes.

Re: action
[he holds out the plate.]
It's a mocha cake; I hope he likes coffee?
[because as robert loves that shit, it seemed like the safest route to him]

I think if you stuck a syringe in his arm, coffee'd come out.
Re: action
That sounds... unhealthy. [but he shouldn't talk.] But I am glad to hear that this is acceptable.

Re: action
[what a dare, to add insult to injury.]
[quickly moves from near the table to sit on the couch. it's like he's a ninja, it was so fast.]
Um, I don't remember. It probably was not that important, so...
