Birthday Regrets
Who: Cortana and you
When: November 7th
Where: ADI
Summary: It's Cortana's 11th birthday! Someone thought it would be a good idea to announce this, and her age, to everyone by having a cake brought to the ADI breakroom.
Warnings: Possibly none, but age is an incredibly loaded topic for smart AI, so there's a possibility of mental illness, terminal illness, euthanization, and other fucked up topics coming up. Will warn in thread if they do.
Let it be known that Cortana had no part in this.
In fact, for the first part of the day she has no idea what's going on at all, just that a lot of people seem to be smiling and waving at her. It's not until someone says Happy birthday! followed by Are you really only 11? that she realizes what must have happened. A few panicked-to a degree that's probably surprising since it's literally just a birthday announcement-questions later and she's making a beeline for the breakroom only to find ...a big birthday cake. Yes, really. It says happy 11th birthday Cortana, or it would if part of the words hadn't already been cut away and eaten.
It's a wonderfully thoughtful gesture... but, judging by the swearing Cortana is doing, not a particularly appreciated one.
(ooc: Birthday log! Feel free to have your character stumble across Cortana freaking out over the cake as per the prompt, or you can wish her a happy birthday yourself, ask her about her age, whatever. Person who had the cake brought in is Steve Rogers.)

He thinks that might be true of a lot of people. A lot of worlds. For better or worse.
