Joshua had thought long and hard about what to do for his sister's birthday. He had to do something awesome, that he knew for certain, but he wasn't exactly sure what that awesome would be. After some thought, and a lot of pacing around his lab, he finally came up with an idea, a couple weeks before the day in question.
So when Claudia woke up on the morning of her birthday, she would smell omlettes cooking merrily downstairs. It's only the beginning.

For a few minutes, anyway. These days she's used to being the one cooking the omelets, so sooner or later she just has to investigate (still in her PJs, of course).
"Awww, you shouldn't have."

There's a bit of a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Thanks, brother dear."

Plunking down, he grabs the ketchup bottle and starts paying attention to his own breakfast. There's definitely a 'plotting something' look on his face.

"First, you are out today on Regent business, and no one is allowed to claim you, no matter what sort of ping happens."
Maybe if the Warehouse is exploding. Maybe.
no subject
Her eyebrow's still up. "Regent business, huh? Is that what they're calling 'birthday brother time' these days?"
(Why yes she's already plotting out his birthday card why do you ask?)
no subject
He's grinning, bouncing in his chair in a way that he hasn't in quite a while. "But yes. It is Regent business. This Regent wants time with a specific Agent."
no subject
...Nah, that's just crazy talk.
Claudia grins. "And what part of this has you all bouncypants?"
no subject
"You'll have to wait and see, though, because I rather like making you wait."
no subject
Om nom nom nom nom.
no subject
He grins. "I have a few things in mind, and they must come in order."

Hey, if he's gonna make a big deal about ~Regent business,~ she reserves the right to point out the discrepancies.

After they finish breakfast, Claudia goes and puts some proper clothes on, and then comes back down. "'k. Shall we?"
no subject
Once they get to the Warehouse, he leads Claudia in, past a protesting Artie, and down into his lab. It smells a bit funkier than it usually does, and there are a couple dubious purple stains on the floor that probably weren't there before.
"Alright, have a seat, baby sister, and I'll start on Thing One."

He goes over to one of his tables and comes back with a wrapped box. "Happy birthday, little sister."
Inside the box when she unwraps it is a bright purple hair stripe.
no subject
She grins when she gets the box open. "Oh, good, a longer one. And it's neutralizer purple, too! You know me well... or have you been monkeying around with the goo?"
It'd explain the stains. This is too much for the problem to be

"Seriously."

"And how the hell did you get your hands on a VIP pass? I couldn't even get a regular one."
Well, that and she decided it wasn't worth the hassle to plan that far out in advance. The second she does that, there'll be a ping that takes up all of Comicon weekend...

She does, though, because she trusts Joshua with her life.

Joshua's face has a huge shit-eating grin.

And that's even before Claudia takes in their surroundings. "And what did you have in mind out here?"
