The energy inside Capsule Corp as they waited was palpable, and Vegeta was admittedly nervous. They had never done anything like this for Viral before, how was he going to take it? They were to find out soon enough, a soundless call from Yumi signaled that they were fast approaching. Gesturing for everyone to get together he quickly turned off the lights, joining the bulk of the company in the back of the room. In utter silence they stood until the door creaked open, and Viral was the first one inside. No sooner were the lights turned on did Viral get the surprise of his life as everyone shouted at once. Not that he expected it to be taken with much grace, but having a weapon drawn in shock was hardly the reaction that was desired. Figuring it best to intervene before someone lost a limb Vegeta hurried over, smiling cheerfully as he grabbed the Beastman by the arm, leading him further inside. "What's happening is we're throwing you a party, Viral. Isn't that obvious? And we mean exactly what we said, happy birthday. It IS your birthday, after all." Well, about a week and a few days short, but close enough. Plus Viral didn't even know when his birthday was, so for all intents and purposes today was the day.

"Sorry about dumping you out with Roshi and the others like that, but when we were given this idea we had to do it. So... Yeah, happy birthday Viral." The crowd was gracious enough to part as they walked through, though half of the reason may have been the particularly sharp cleaver the Beastman was touting. On the other side of the crowd was a rather modest stack of presents, of varying shapes and sizes all addressed to the Beastman. The party had been a total success so far, at least in the surprise part. Goodness knows how Viral was going to handle things, they would have to wait and see. Releasing his friend by the gifts Vegeta looked back at the guests, many beginning to chatter amongst themselves though a few still watched them excitedly. "I know it's a long time coming and I'm sorry. We celebrate everyone's around here but yours it seems, and that's not fair. So, starting this year we're adding yours to the list." Seeing Yumi come over the Saiyan stepped aside to give them room, chuckling as he gave a small wave. "I'm going to go check on the food, I'll be back shortly." Excusing himself Vegeta went through the crowd and out towards the kitchen, where both resident cooks and a hired service were busily working on creating a buffet, most of which consisted of Viral's favorites. There was food for everyone else too of course, but the bulk was for his friend. 

"You should have seen the look on your face when you walked in here!" Yumi exclaimed, beaming as she stood at Viral's side. "I wish I thought to bring a camera, that worked so well! Oh I can't get over how well it worked!" Shame Viral wasn't even a fraction as excited as she was, herself being near giddy. There was an awful lot vested in this effort, if that weren't obvious, and a ton was riding on if this helped his depression or not. Granted it wasn't the only reason for the party, it was legitimately a birthday party, but they might kill two people with one stone. Still smiling widely she glanced around at the other guests, watching as they began breaking up into their own groups and chatting. "And you know... All of these people here, you don't know them I'm sure, but they all agreed to come. It was an optional party and we kind of expected it to be just us, but look at how many people turned up! All for your birthday!" They had no reason to come and yet they had, even while barely knowing the person in question. "So yeah, there's that. But enough rambling, it's your party, what do you want to do?"

It was really nice seeing how well things had come together, Takeshi had been awfully cynical about anyone really showing up. To think the majority of Vegeta's employees would be in attendance, well hopefully that meant Viral would enjoy his party more. While he let out a cheerful shout his brother made one more of surprise, a bit higher pitched and more alarmed sounding. As things died down and Viral was moved off to see his gifts he was left with Shu and T'charrl at the door. "Bornday...? I'm guessing that's celebrating the day you were born on..." Takeshi said, pointing out the obvious, "If so then yeah, it's the same. And it's happy because it's celebrating getting another year older. And all the things you did in that last year, I guess." Looking about the room he found a spot to set things down, placing his load of bags along a wall just beneath a set of wide windows. Sighing contently now that his hands were freed the Saiyan smiled at his brother, gesturing over to the tables. "There's going to be tons of food there in a bit, and cake. I can't remember... Have you ever had cake, Shu?"
