[The music begins to get Crocker's feet slightly tapping and before long is breaking out into some discoing on the ship's floor. Anyone want to join him or try to get the stiff to drink some alcohol? Upon seeing Rogue exclaims.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[Which his body twists in some ways that just maybe it shouldn't or that's part of this discoing.]

[tactilelearner]

Uh...

[He does that a lot. One of many freaky things about him.

But. Today's a party. The Spades and Keimi? Didn't have to do this for her. So, it's like Christmas. Goodwill toward all.

Which is why she smiles. A little unevenly, perhaps, but as much as she can manage for him.]

Thanks.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Exactly, birthdays are like Christmas and if Denzel has to live with everyone on these ships he's going to try to be decent to some extant. Even if he doesn't practically like them.]

Welcome. Oh, hang on.

[Crocker quickly goes to his quarters and returns back with one of his fists closed and towards Rogue and unfolds his hand and inside is one of those strange magical crystals that appeared on the ship a few months ago.]

You have magical powers. Perhaps, you'll be able to use it.

[That and he has some extras. Of course the gift is just out of tradition since it is rather impersonal.]

[tactilelearner]

This...

[Behold this ruby,
Centuries old]

Is this...

[What once was whole,
Now in parts 'tis shattered.]

Is this really...

[This tiny little fragment, a small little glimmer of red.]

So it's real.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Crocker on the other hand doesn't have an eye to tell between a fake ruby or a real ruby. None does he care about that. If anything interests him it's the magical qualities that maybe Rouge can unlock.]

It's there in your hand. Of course it's real!

[tactilelearner]

Figured the entire thing was a story.

[But here's a fragment. Just a little piece. But it's real.]

[crackpotcrocker]

Huh?

[Denzel blinks in confusion.]

Oh! And if anything unusual should happen. Do let me know.
