im certain not many of you knewv of my birthday, but thats alright, it isnt too late to vwish me svwell one, or to offer me any gifts you might havwe. ill be in the courtyard for the record, if saying it to my pretty face is more your style.
((ooc: This is actually backdated to the 18th, because I suck at doing stuff on time. Feel free to answer through the journal or action, either works fine!))

He strides down the hall looking pretty fucking weird with a guitar in his hand. What's even weirder is that the guitar has one ribbon tied around the neck of it. What a weirdo. It's black, acoustic and looks strange being held by Murdoc. So he's pretty happy when he can step silently up behind Cronus and tap him on the back of the head with it.]
Aren't you a little old to be in school?
[Action]
Holy shit, Pops! You shouldn't have!
[And by that he means he totally should have, because that is one sweet guitar and it is OBVIOUSLY for him and holy cow, this is the bees knees, the absolute tops, like WOW WHAT A GREAT DAD.]
As for your question, not quite! I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
[yeah he's just going to try and take the guitar, because gimmegimmegimme]
[Action]
Maybe I spoke too soon. You still act like a sixteen year old. Just barely.
[2 year old seems more accurate, honestly.]
Where are your manners? [You aren't going to get it until you hug him but he isn't going to ask for a hug because that's stupid.]
[Action]
I do not!
[Hhhf so rude, holding it out of his reach like that, he ain't some dog you can tease with a squeak toy! Gosh. But, surprising as it may be, Cronus ain't entirely brain dead, so he gets the hint. BEGRUDGINGLY, ok, no he just straight up hugs him. He can give a hug to the old man, especially if it means he's getting a guitar out of it!]
This better?
[Action]
You're right. Two year old is more like it. [He doesn't know why he didn't say that before. God, he's hilarious.
He grunts as Cronus hugs him, not expecting it to happen so quickly. He's used to having to fight Eridan because like hell either of them would ever just ask for a hug. He keeps the guitar out of reach and pats Cro's back with his free hand.]
I suppose it will have to do. Now say thank you.
[Action]
Aw, come on, I'm not Eridan.
[He holds on for a second longer, you know, to reaaaally show his thankfulness and all.]
Thanks, pops. Really, I don't know what I was expectin' to get from you [read as: I expected to get nothing] but you really hit the mark on what to get me, I couldn't ask for a better guitar, she's beautiful.
[He pulls back from Murdoc to smile up at him as he says as much, looking entirely and genuinely grateful for once in his life.]
[Action]
Yes, well. I had intended to give you money instead, but I decided a gift would be nice enough to tide you over until the next trip out of school. [A dry laugh.] Use it wisely.
[He half smiles and it's honestly difficult to be anything but pleasant when he smiles like that, makes him not regret having sons. They are terribly cute when they want to be. Finally, he hands it over with a put upon sort of sigh.]
[Action]
[He loves Eridan and all, but the kid's a big brat.]
This beats the pants off of money! And believe me, Pops, I am gonna use it very wisely.
[Read as: I'm going to use it to try to woo people.]
[Cronus takes it, though it's definitely not a snatch like he tried to do before. He's looking over the guitar, his features nothing if not entirely excited. He may not have much interest in the violins that Murdoc likes him to play, but he certainly has a love for a different type of string instrument, and boy did Daddy do right.]
[Action]
[Wouldn't have him any other way. Little bitch..]
Good.[He looks so happy, but he always looks happy..Murdoc still feels pretty good, Maybe too good?] I'm glad you like it, then. Now if I find out you've been misbehavin' I'll have some leverage over you.
[He lowers his voice and leans in just a little.] If another professor approaches me about students feeling uncomfortable around you I will not hesitate to break it right over your damn head.
[Action]
[Cronus could think of a few improvements, but whatever.]
[Cronus opens his mouth to play off that 'misbehaving' bit, but then Murdoc leans in and lowers his voice and... Oh. So he's heard about that huh? Time to dodge the blame like a champ.]
Aw, come on, pops. That is so not even true, in fact, I'm sure most of them have twisted the story to try and take it out on me. Treat me like some sorta outcast, can't you see I'm actually the victim of bullying, here? I can't believe you'd fall for their tricks as well, jeepers.
[And cue his defeated and sad expression, gosh he looks entirely upset! and on his birthday of all days! Shame on you Murdoc.]
[Action]
He reaches out and grabs Cronus by the shoulder, bringing him in to slam him against his chest with a sad sigh, giving him a pat.]
Is that so? Goodness, I had absolutely no idea you suffered such injustices, Cronus! You know you should come to me with these things, don't you?
