Twisted Wonderland - 2024 Player Birthday Login Greetings

The player birthday login greetings have just updated today on the JP server for the fourth anniversary, and I've translated them below.

These are sorted in order of dorm, and then alphabetically by character name.

Heartslabyul

Ace Trappola

❤️: 'Sup, Yuu! Happy bday. 'Kay, time for the party. I'm gonna swing by this one restaurant in town and pick us up some grub, so you wait here and- Hey, hey, I'm not trying to trick you! I do know how to celebrate birthdays, thank you very much.

Cater Diamond

♦️: Happy bday, Yuu-chan ☆ Didja post anything bday related yet on Magicam today? No? No problem, just leave it to me! I'm basically a Magicam pro at this point. I'll take the perfect pic, come up with the perfect hash tag… Just think of it as, like, the Caycay bday special~

Deuce Spade

♠️: Happy birthday, Yuu! I'm going to go buy your present now, so- …Huh? You're saying since I fixed up that light for you in Ramshackle the other day, I don't need to get you anything? Come on, don't say that. You're my friend, so let me do this for you. It'd make me a lot more happier than if I didn't get you anything, to be honest.

Riddle Rosehearts

🌹: Happy birthday, Yuu. Thank you so much for always looking after my students. Truth is, we'll be holding a salon at Heartslabyul this weekend, and as part of my well wishes to you, I'm going to have you join us. Ah, my apologies. I can see you're quite nervous, but you needn't worry - I'll be right there with you, and will instruct you in etiquette every step of the way.

Trey Clover

🍀: Happy birthday. Now about your gift… I did get you something, but it's, erm… When I was talking with the other students about your gift, one person would say to get you this, and then another'd say, no, get that, and after a lot of hemming and hawing I chose… this t-shirt. I don't even know anymore why I picked out this design, honestly… Ugh, if you could just go ahead and start laughing now, I'd appreciate it.

Savanaclaw

Jack Howl

🐺: Today's your birthday, right? You make any new goals for the year? What, you're gonna smoke me in class? Ha! That's the best joke I've heard in a while. But alright, I'll take you on. If you get a better grade than me on our next exam, I'll buy you something.

Leona Kingscholar

🦁: Yeah, yeah, happy birthday. …Why are you settin' up that chessboard? What, you've been takin' lessons just to beat me? An' lemme guess, now you're challengin' me to a match. You got guts - for a herbivore, at least. So whaddya gonna wager, then? Just "playin' to see who wins" ain't gonna cut it.

Ruggie Bucchi

🍩: Happy birthday! Yer dear ol' Ruggie Senpai whipped up just the perfect thing for ya. Ta-da! Yer very own fishin' pole! Handmade by yours truly. …Ooh, I know that look. I bet yer thinking', "ain't that just a piece a crap?" I'm tellin' ya, fish'll be linin' up to throw themselves at this bad boy soon as it hits the water! Listen, I know how much starvin' sucks, an' I can tell you know that, too. Next time yer stomach starts howlin' at ya, now you can just catch yerself somethin' to eat!

Octavinelle

Azul Ashengrotto

🐙: I wish you a very happy birthday. Have you already decided what you'd like for a gift? I'd be glad to arrange-… My, what excellent taste! That would be quite the challenge for the average collector to acquire… but not for me, of course! I guarantee you'll have it in your hands before you even realize it.

Floyd Leech

🦈: Heya, Little Shrimpy. Today's your birthday, right? Here, I got something for ya. Let's see, we got some gummies that taste kinda funny, and some cookies…. they're hard as rocks, though. Oh, and some mushy jerky, too. Super cool, huh? Oh yeah, and all this stuff expires today, by the way. You better not let any of it go to waste, since it's a gift an' all. Kay?

Jade Leech

🐬: My warmest wishes to you on your birthday. May this be another fruitful year for you. By the way, Yuu-san, have you already had lunch today? You haven't? Excellent, for I was hoping to prepare something for you. Worry not, I can assure you I have only the utmost best of intentions in mind. Heh heh.

Scarabia

Jamil Viper

🐍: Yuu, happy birthday. I know it's not much, but I got you this. Ramshackle's been around for so long I can't even begin to imagine how many insects have made it their home over the years. But if you use that product, you can wipe them all out in a blink of an eye. I can personally vouch for how well it works, so do go ahead and give it try. Sooner rather than later, please.

Kalim Al Asim

☀️: Yuu, happy birthday! Here's your gift… Ah ha ha! Were you surprised? I made you that pop-up card. There's these flowers we give to people on their birthdays back home in Scalding Sands, so I tried making a bunch of them with paper. Turned out pretty good, right? Nice and flashy.

Pomefiore

Epel Felmier

🍎: Happy birthday! I thought long and hard about what to get you, and ended up going with a pair of fingerless gloves! The design on em's just great, don't you think? I thought they'd be a good choice since you can still use your phone and stuff without them getting in the way. They already look super cool, and once you break them in, then they'll really start to shine. Wear them as much as you can, okay?

Rook Hunt

🏹: I've been waiting for you, Trickster, so that I might give you my birthday well wishes. A wonderful day calls for making wonderful memories, and to that end, I've constructed the perfect itinerary for us. We'll start off with two theater performances, followed by a live poetry recital, and then we'll wrap things up with a movie this evening. There shan't be a dull moment today. Now come! The theater awaits!

Vil Schoenheit

👑: Happy birthday, Yuu. …Hm? You'd like me to come to your party? And you you even went and made sure there'll be healthy food options available for me? …Hah, that's quite thoughtful of you. Very well, then. I'll stop by. Just don't forget - you should consider it an honor to receive my well wishes.

Ignihyde

Idia Shroud

💀: Okay, time to pretend we're all chummy with each other and spout the usual "HaPpY BiRtHdAy" garbage… Eep! D-did you hear all that? U-Umm… Happy birthday... Sorry, but I didn't get you anything. I didn't even know it was your bday, so… What, you're happy just 'cause I wished you happy birthday? Are you serious? *sigh* Okay, I'll order something online later and have it sent to Ramshackle. It's just gonna be something small, tho.

Ortho Shroud

🤖: Happy birthday! Here's your gift. Go ahead, open it! Heh heh, did you notice what's on it? I used my lasers to engrave "Happy Birthday!" and some other well wishes on that glass tumbler. It was difficult controlling the output when doing the finer details, but I think it came out pretty nice. I hope you like it!

Diasomnia

Lilia Vanrouge

🦇: Ah, that's right. Today's your birthday, isn't it? Goodness, kids really do grow up so fast… Kufufu. Oh, don't be so sour. I was just doing my grandpa bit, the boys at the dorm never indulge me. Now then, here's your present: a CD I made just for you! It's jam-packed with my most heartfelt screamo performances, and I hope you enjoy every second of it.

Malleus Draconia

🐲: It's your birthday today, isn't it, Child of Man? …? What's the matter? Your face looks awfully stern… Ah, now I understand. You're having trouble carrying around all those presents. Here, allow me to send them to Ramshackle for you using my magic. You needn't worry, it's but a trivial spell for me. Now then, I hope you enjoy today to the fullest.

Sebek Zigvolt

⚡: Today is your birthday, if I do recall… What? You wish for me to attend your party? What a boorish joke. I've no time to take part in such a… What? THE YOUNG LORD SHALL BE ATTENDING!? YOU SHOULD'VE MENTIONED THAT TO BEGIN WITH! Good grief… You truly are an unpleasant little human, you know that? Now then, tell me at once where the party shall be held, and at what time!

Silver

⚔️: Happy birthday. Hm? You want to know what this cord is? It's actually your present. I heard about this from Lilia Senpai, but… apparently, they say that if you wrap some string around your wrist or ankle, and it breaks over time, then your wish will come true. I wove this for you, so that your wish can come true some day. I know it's pretty crude looking, but please go ahead and take it, if you'd like.

Ramshackle

😺: Today's your birthday? Happy birthday! …Huh? Where's your present? Oh, come oooon. You're my number one henchman! Ain't that a present enough? Okay, fine. Your lap's always super hard when I sit on it, so I'll give ya a good ol' fashioned paw pad massage!

(Crowley and Rollo's messages remain unchanged)

CW BLOOD and implied past abuse (if you need more things tagged shoot me an ask!)

i’ve been working on basically only this in whatever free time i got the past few days, it’s for @davekatweek day 3: sadstuck, which was yesterday but we can simply pretend that i have magical calendar-shifting powers

completed august 31, 2022

edit 3/4/2024 to add image description

a two page cel shaded digitally drawn comic in shades of gray/black and red. all dave’s dialogue is written in red and resembles his angular handwriting style. all karkat’s dialogue is written in gray and resembles his messy handwriting style.

page one: karkat lies on the ground in a dark space, bleeding from scraped knees, a small cut on his cheek, and a slash to the chest. he grits his teeth and covers the slash wound with one arm, propping himself up on the other. dave (in his godtier outfit) runs up to him and shouts, “KARKAT!! are you okay?!” Karkat responds, “I’m fine! *DON’T* help me.” Dave insists, “that looks bad, just lemme look.” Karkat snaps, “I said I’m *FINE*, Dave!”

Dave persists, seen from below as if from Karkat’s point of view as Dave leans over him to get a look. Dave starts tearing up and nervously rambling: “oh my god karkat i’m so sorry its my fault i didn’t see until they already got to you and OH SHIT ok listen its gonna be fine ill get you some help ok”

Karkat, also tearing up, turns over to hide his injury and shouts, “NO!” then, in increasingly shaky words, he adds, “Don’t look! Just... leave me here.”

The next panel shows what Karkat is thinking, depicting some memories of his having to hide his blood. Once as a child with a cut on his hand as he cries. Once tearfully hiding in fear under a blanket, referencing his Pesterquest route. Once bleeding from the side and covering it with his hand, referencing the panel where he got stabbed by Jack Noir. Around the panel, Karkat’s thoughts read: “He can’t see me bleed. He can’t know. NO ONE CAN KNOW.”

The following panel shows what Dave is thinking, and shows some of his memories as well. One is of him young enough to be wearing the pointy shades and failing to avoid a slash injury to the arm. One is of him on the ground after a strife with Bro, referencing the “Bro just kicked my ass” panel from Act 3. One is of him bandaging himself up. The last one is of what presumable just happened: Dave, in his godtier outfit, sword out and pointing at an unseen adversary, defending Karkat. Dave hisses, “don’t touch him.” Behind him, Karkat holds his sickle and shouts, “Dave, wait!” Around the panel are Dave’s thoughts: “this is all my fault. i need to get him out of here. we’re not safe here. he needs help NOW.”

still panicked, dave tells karkat, “please at least let me help you up.”

page two: karkat pulls himself onto his side, sighs, and says “OK.” he takes his arm away from his injury although the blood is all over his hand now, and says, “Just please don’t freak out about my blood.” Dave is a little confused by this request but offers his hand and says, “I promise”. Karkat takes his hand and starts to get up. Dave asks, “can you stand?” Karkat replies, “I think so, it’s ju--” and is cut off by a yelp when his knees wobble and he loses balance. He doesn’t fall though because Dave quickly catches him and then kisses him. Karkat is surprised by this but not dismayed. After a moment Dave’s self consciousness catches up with him and he stands there flustered for a bit and goes, “*ahem* so...” Karkat, also blushing but mostly bleeding, reminds him, “Dave, the excruciatingly painful medical emergency.” Dave babbles, “yes, right, right, of course.”

Seen from behind, Dave supports Karkat as they start to walk away, arms around each other. Dave says, “sorry i’m just... really glad you’re not dead.” Karkat says, “Yeah? You like me alive?” Dave says, “yeah man.” to which Karkat replies, “Then let’s hurry it up before I bleed the fuck out.” Dave mumbles, “sorry, sorry. i was just so scared. it reminded me of... of before the game. i was freaking out just trying to survive and then i saw you get hit and i was... so fucking afraid i was gonna lose you. and it scared me when you resisted.” A small panel reveal that they are both crying now. Karkat responds, “Sorry. I’m sorry... I just don’t... it’s hard to let people see me like that. I guess we were both terrified out of our minds. Sorry I’m so stupid when I’m panicking and dying, ha.” Dave counters, “sorry *i’m* so stupid when i’m panickying and trying not to die.” Karkat replies, “It’s OK, Dave. I’m OK.” end description.
