Rocco's Modern Life

@ourple-octoling asked: Is he late for birthday things? If not. Birthday noogie for this lil' guy. "I might be hella late-- But I'll let you use that stupid lil' guy excuse just once."

"NYEEEEH! Q-quit it, big V!" As strong as Rocco might be lifting that dynamo around, he's no match for the taller Vio. After a fair bit of squirming around, he eventually accepts his fate of noogies.

@inky-anemone sent a birthday message: "Happy Birthday! Can I drag you out for dinner and a movie tonight then, Rocco?" Nemi has snuck one of the brownies he had out for grabs as she asks this.

@orbitaldeathwoomy sent a birthday message: “Happy birthday, Rocco.” Koa handed him a small bag of homemade chocolates, all shaped like little squids, fish, and such. “I… needed help to get them right, but I hope you like them anyway…”

Rocco stares at the bag, taking in each different shape of chocolate. Even ones that were the same shapes had distinct, almost purposeful little differences between them. Each one lovingly hand-crafted, he can tell.

"N-no no, they're amazin'." He lifts his gaze up from the bag back to Koa with a big grin on his face. "Whoever helped ya musta had a good time."

@tfsroleplay sent a birthday message:

"Friend Birthday!!"

Julian runs up to Rocco, a box of homemade cupcakes in his hands. They're a bit messy looking, some icing ended up on the side of the cupcake wrappers but hey! It's the thought that counts!

"For you!"

---------------------------------------------

Someone like Rocco was never the overly critical type when it came to baking, especially not gifts from friends! Just the act of baking something for him is enough to set his eyes starry and his stomach rumbling. Sure, he might get a bit too wrapped into yelling at the TV whenever he sees bakers on Great Squiddish Bake Off make fatal errors, but that's compeltely different!

"Happy birthday to meeee~!" For this special occasion, Rocco's got plenty of trays of bakes on display. Brownies and flapjacks, the works.
