RP: A Birthday Present for Susan When: March 3, 2004 Who: Richard Summerby, Susan Bones Where: Clink St. Flat Private/Public: Private Rating: Open Summary: Happy birthday!
One of the advantages of using a muggle organizer on your mobile phone was not forgetting things like birthdays. Since Susan was in the middle of moving into the flat, Richard wanted to surprise her, and let her know he was thinking about her.
Richard knew Susan liked fast brooms, and riding fast in general, so he decided to give her something he'd mentioned to her before, one of the Bluebottle Factory Racer brooms. He did it up in fancy paper, although it was sort of hard to disguise the shape of a broom. He carefully penned a small instruction book on how to release all the various factory safety limits, and set the broom and booklet, along with a single rose he picked up from a street vendor and a silly birthday card he'd found out shopping a few days earlier, all on the center of her bed. He hoped Susan would appreciate the thought, even if it wasn't a very girly birthday present.
