It's Jellybean's birthday, and a group of folks have gathered around to celebrate it! All of her friends are here to have a birthday adventure with her.

The group looks around for an optimal birthday location. There's a few.

An AI giving out hints and food.

A library which would be a ton of fun!

There's also a meditation spot for a nice cozy birthday.

Lastly, the group could go to the artist alley to see if there's a gift for her there!

"Happy birthday, Jellybean!"
"Happy birthday, Jellybean!"
Mia is deep in thought, examining the wug she brought along with her as carefully as a crime scene investigator. Seems that she's too focused to notice anything...
"Pow pow...!" Abyssal barks out softly with everyone else.
"Hmm… I've always thought makin' memories was better than an item… So why not go to the library? I heard there's tons of fun and noise there."
"Weird for a library but I ain't judging."
....and, oh! She carefully pats the birthday wug with a finger, putting down the other.

"Oh, right! Happy birthday, little one... or maybe not so little now, are you!"
"Last I heard the place was filled with organs, but hey, they've likely cleaned the place up since then."
("Or at least, I hope they have.")
"Pow pow, pow pow poow!" Abyssal tries to tell everyone about the times she went to the library. She does pull off a charred feather from her plumage though.
"Wuuuuu!!!"
"Jellybean, are you a fan of organs?"
Jellybean is a wug. Wugs don't really know what internal organs are.

"Wuuu!"
Mia looks at and attempts to translate for Abyssal.

"Oh, right, last time we went to the library was a dragon, too, if you'd like that darling... but I think that was just security, so if we don't get out of line-"
"Happy birthday, I'm getting you organs and viscera for your special day!"
"And dragons. Maybe. Who can say?"

Abyssal claps her claws a bit. She doesn't seem too torn up about the library. Happy birthday Jellybean!
Smog is content.
"Right. Organs. To the library then?"
"Yep!"
"I don't think anything bad can happen while we have our little friends, and, more importantly, birthday boy here!! Library it is."
"Let us hope we can find some good birthday songs for the fellow. You'll have to read them though, I'll just hum along."
Abyssal softly pats her green wug Disinterest, despite the name he couldn't be happier! He loves singing, and he loves wug! He's so happy to have so many wugs around!

The group heads forth to the library. They hope to have an amazing part there for dear Jellybean. Jellybean hops and skips the whole way there.

When they get to the location, they find the current caretaker of the area, ripping out pages and pasting them into others.

"Eee! Eeee!"

"Oh gosh, the great one is going to be angry when he sees what has been done.....You don't even know what you're doing......"
The roximur looks back at the community manager, before continuing to paste a piece of "brick building for idiots" into a guide on "how to make the best chili."

Everyone in the universe agrees now that the best chili is made with a dash of brick dust.
"Oh, hello there! Are you, um, two alright? Have time for a birthday?"

Mia puts the wug she's been carrying onto the counter carefully and dings the little bell on it
Smog waves to the community manager.

"Hey, friend."
"What brings you here? We're holding a little birthday party for this wug."
"It's getting old so fast I don't even know where the time went! Wow!"

"Pow pow." Abyssal slowly hops up along behind her friends, cheering with Jellybean.
"Animals age so quickly..."
Mia nods along to Smog.

"If you happen to have some space, we a little celebration is in order!! I myself wouldn't mind doing some cleaning if that means little Jellybean here gets their Best Day."
....? Abyssal pauses to think for a moment, but quickly perks back up. She doesn't have time to think!
"I would love to host a birthday but I'm currently dealing with a universe ending situation here!"
"Please speak with the person at the desk to set up a party."
"Universe ending? How so?"

"Zuuuuuu!"

The ziptu is ready to host a cool birthday bash!

"Oh, perfect! Entertainment. This pet knows its purpose."

Maroonfour walks up to the ziptu.

"You there! Come with us, Jellybean needs to have their coming of age ritual, and it's not complete with the correct birthday chants."
"Also, fitting puppet entertainment, which you so happen to have.
"Hey, look, puppets! Do you like puppets, Jellybean?"
In all honesty, Jellybean would probably just eat them.
"Ziptu, you should come along and help us give Jellybean a great day!"
"But first we gotta look at a problem we got here. What's the matter, Fan? Is it the monkey?"
Smog rolls a 20 sided die. A 1 is rolled.
The roximur opens a book on electricity.
"Uh oh."
It rips out the first page. The biggest blackout the universe has ever seen has started.

The lights go out and the roximur hoots and hollers, page in hand.

"Can I get a little help here?"
"Oh dear, one second."

Mia tries locating Fan in order to help. The wug is nowhere to be seen...
"Yep, that seems like a good idea now."
"Blobbo, tackle that monkey!"
Abyssal gently brings over Disinterest, the wug wiggling up beside her as she softly barks to him. We gotta start with a birthday song! Disinterest is a singer, and the swarm of friends boosts him! A good distraction for a silly Roximur.
"Wuuulululu!"
The battery-powered arcade machine orders Pinky to attack the monkey!

"It's… a slumber party."
"wUUUUUU!!!!"
A BATTLE TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE FROM DESTRUCTION HAS BEGUN.
[Deltarune Chapter 2 OST - BIG SHOT]
Blobbo rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.
Blobbo tries to attack the roximur. It gives a sly smile as it dodges and counter attacks!
Nameless rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of -3. An 11 is rolled.
Blobbo is scratched!

Disinterest starts to sing a birthday song!

The birthday song powers up Jellybean......she changes form!
Jellybean has transformed!

"Someone grab him without ripping the page!"
Smog sings a birthday song to continue calming a monkey! He hopes someone else will swoop in and grab him.
Mia grabs the Roximur, while Purble tries to shut the book before the page is ripped! DOES THIS COUNT AS OBJECT MOVING???
"Wuuuuuuu!!!!"
Jellybean attempts to pick up the book while the monkey is distracted!
"Wuuuululululuuuu!"
Blobbo is also attempting to pick up the book!
"By the way, Fan, wanna sing with me?"
"Pow poow pow!" Abyssal softly pats Disinterest as it jiggles. Now that the song is sung the birthday wug needs a gift! She points to grapple the roximur.
Smog rolls a 20 sided die. A 19 is rolled.
Jellybean rolls a 20 sided die. A 7 is rolled.

The songs are so distracting that the roximur doesn't notice what's going on until the page is taken. As soon as it realizes this it hoots and hollers in anger before grabbing a book and running outside of the building!

[Deltarune Chapter 2 - Dialtone]
"Well....at least the book it stole wasn't the electricity book....."
"Thank you amazing ones for saving the universe from a roximur!"
"....what book did it steal then?"
"Only a day's work!"
"Just try not to think too hard about people on.........actually let me not kill the mood."
"Please hand over the page and I'll get it back in!"

"...No problem, all for our little guy! I think we can start the party now, right?!"
Jellybean places the book on Fan's head.
"Aw, don't feel bad for our sakes. What were you gonna say, Fan?"
"Uuuuuh noooo I think if I say it, it'll really ruin the mood of you know...saving the universe."

"Lets just be happy we saved most of the universe!"

The community manager puts the page into the book, restoring light to the universe.
"Most?"
"Eh, I'm sure whatever was lost wasn't that important."
Mia whispers to Fan.

"(You mean... the people on life supports...)"
"I was trying to avoid being a downer....."
"Alright, but you ever change your mind, I'd be glad to hear it! You won't be a downer, trust me."
"That roximur is just horrible! I mean, it ended millions, if not billions of lives in an instant. So many sick people...."
"Oh gosh....the book of "universe's worst events" is gaining pages.................."
Mia politely coughs. Time to change the subject.

"Look at how big our birthday boy has gotten!! That's amazing!"

She goes over to look at the wug closer.
"Lets just think about how if it weren't for you, far more people would have died, yes?"
"Wuuu..."

The now significantly larger Jellybean bumps into Fan in what can be assumed to be a comforting manner.
"Yeah!"
(Holy shit.)
Mia continues her ramblings,

"This is the first time I've ever seen one of those species, and now I get the witness ones great transformation! This is absolutely amazing!!!"
"Our birthday wug did undergo their coming of age transformation, so I'd take it as a sign of the Radical's grace."
"Aww thanks guys for reminding me this wasn't my fault. I'm sorry this is putting a damper on your birthday party!"
"How can I make this party go as smoothly as possible now that the event is over?"
Mia very lightly nudges Fan with her fan.

"How about a song?"
"It's alright! I think Jellybean is having a great time, anyway."
"It's alright! I think Jellybean is having a great time, anyway."
"A song would work, yes."
The wug wiggles happily.
Abyssal slowly sinks down to the floor, settling in place as she cheers. "Pow...!"
Mia cleans up the desk in order to set up some kind of stage. She also retrieves the wug she lost, which appears to be in a corner, shaking like a market cashier during a shoot-out... she places it with all the others.
"Also, if that puppeteering creature is still around, that would also be welcome."
"Of course, I will sing a song for you!"
"RAH RAH RAH!! LETS GO TEAM!!! LETS!!! GO!!!! TEAM!!!!"
Everyone feels empowered by the cheer!

"Whoops sorry, turns out I only know how to chant."
"Eh, it's fine."
"Rah rah rah, let's go team! It's great either way!"
"Hey, if that ziptu's still around, it should come and join us! Rah!"

Smog attempts to find and tame the ziptu!
"No, no, please!"

Mia joins in, screaming her lungs off. She doesn't need much of a reason.

"YOU CAN DO IT, AND YOU KNOW IT, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SHOW IT!"
"Wuwuu!"

Jellybean attempts to find gifts for the birthday guests ♡
Abyssal looks up as her friend yells.
Seeing the others going out and handling the matters of the little puppet master, Maroonfour goes to look for an interesting book to get the wug.

He cannot read. He's going purely off pictures.
Smog rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 15 is rolled.

"Zuuuu!"

The ziptu peeks out from under the table, happy that the lights are back on!

Jellybean finds some amazing little mints on the front desk. She gives each wuggy friend a mint for coming. They all wiggle in excitement.
"Wulululu!"
Maroon Four rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 6 is rolled.

The tailed kit opens a book that seems nice and friendly. Something with a happy little sun on it.

THE TAILED KIT INSTANTLY GETS A HEAT STROKE AND PASSES OUT.

"Oh, sorry y'all, I just got a little bit excited there... well, um."

She checks the clock in the far end of the library, squinting... and runs off, leaving her wug behind.

"Sorry, curfew, gotta run! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!"
"NO NOT THE BOOK OF SUN RELATED AILMENTS!!!"
"WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE BOOK OF SUN RELATED ALIMENTS?"
…Smog tells his wug to pick up the book and put it back on the shelf.

The wug bounces towards the book and INSTANTLY PASSES OUT AS IT IS AFFECTED BY SUN RELATED ALIMENTS.

Abyssal leans up to her wug "Poow poaw poow." She makes a scrounging motion and tries to get him to find his friend a birthday related gift in return for the mind.
"I'm just going to...."

The community manager gets the "long stick of safety" and closes the book.
"Pinky… You did so good today, I'm proud of you."
"I am so sorry....I hope I'm not ruining your birthday......"
"Not at all!"
"You've been nothing but great to be around."
"I can't sing, I can't stop the end of the universe. I'm so sorry amazing ones. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
"Wuwuu!!"

The wug doesn't seem to be bothered. She's big, stupid, and pink.
"Powuwuwu!"

Abyssal's wug finds a book of candy. She drops it on the floor. The wugs gather around to eat from treats the book begins to spawn.

"WUWUWUWU!!!!"

Best birthday ever!
"You're all too kind! Let me find a gift of my own to give to you. Especially to you amazing arcade machine."
Fan rolls a 20 sided die. A 5 is rolled.

"DEATH TO ALL ORGANICS!"

"I found this fella in the trash!"
"GET OUT OF MY DAMN SIGHT."
"It's got a big mouth! I'm sure it doesn't mean it."
"FUCK YOUR MOTHER!"
"I don't have a mother!"
Abyssal looks up at the wandettle. "Pow pow!" All she sees is a baby baby.
"Wuu..."
"I think it's very funny. Would you like to keep it?"
"THE INVASION OF YOUR MOTHER BEGINS ON TUESDAY. DON'T BE LATE!"
"I think it's funny as fuck. I'd love to keep it around!"
"Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure to see you again!"
"It is yours amazing one, and I'm pleased to see you as well."
"With the event only a few more days till closing, I was worried I'd miss you."
"So seeing you, is like magic, even if for a short time."
"Aw, same here. I'd give a wedding ring to you if I had it!"
"What."
"You flatter me I don't think I'm marriage material."
"Hey, it doesn't have to be romantic if you don't want it to be. It's a bond forever- or at least for a while."
"You've been a good friend so I'd love to have you around in the future."
"Amazing one. That's so touching....I suppose I wouldn't mind something like that....but."

"I hope you understand that I must reject the offer now. I hope that doesn't strain our relationship amazing one. It's just that there's so many people asking for my hands, and while folks have stated that 'I have many hands to marry everyone.' This is not true."
"I lack any hands at all, for I am just your biggest fan."
"I hope that wasn't too rough....but I do want you to know...."
"If I do marry anyone, you're around the top of my list, amazing one!"
"Also if we got married technically this would mean we already adopted a child together...."
"If you ever want to chat again, I'll be sure to pick up! Nothing wrong with being honest."
"And kids, whoof. I do say I'd be lying if I didn't know where to start with those."
"Well, maybe we'll cross paths sometimes later during the festival. It's been good to see you, and thanks for the mother-fucking wandettle."
Smog wheels out of the library with Pinky and the mother-fucker in tow.
