So uh.

I realize this probably doesn't seem super important with everything else going on but...I've been working it out in my head the best I can. It's hard to keep track of dates when you're traveling but if I'm doing the math right, I turned seventeen like a week ago.

I can't believe I forgot my own birthday.

[truerevelation]

I dunno if anyone can keep track of dates... time's in a big enough mess already here.

...wait. When was that? Uh. What date date?

[haremtrap]

Twentieth of January, Two thousand and one.

[truerevelation]

...Nineteenth of January, hell-if-I-know.

Damn. I oughta make a cake or somethin'.

[haremtrap]

Well hey, that makes us basically birthday buddies!

[truerevelation]

With everything that happens and all the guessing, I ain't gonna argue with one day...

... First birthday I've had here in my own head, too. It's my nineteenth. Or, y'know. was.

[otomechapilot]

We're doing the cake thing after the Jaunt. What flavor do you like and what else do you want.

You too, Kanji.

[haremtrap]

I've always had a thing for cheesecake...I dunno about Kanji.

[truerevelation]

I ain't gonna argue with that plan. Won't lie, I've kinda got a sweet tooth...

[otomechapilot]

...How does that even work?

No, no, don't tell me. But trust me. Cake will happen.

Let me know if you want it to be a party or just us and our food.

[pferdeweibchen]

Happy belated birthday. I agree with others about cake.

It's pretty normal for birthdays to... pass by. For one reason or another.

[Her voice sounds rather strained at the later comment.]

[haremtrap]

I'm still bummed. You only turn seventeen once, you know.

But thanks.

[pferdeweibchen]

Seventeen? I didn't think we'd be that close to the same age. I'm turning eighteen this year.

[haremtrap]

Neat.

[Pause.]

...Sorry this is awful but...Do I know you? You sound like you know me.

[flatteries]

Well, I doubt anyone could be blamed for forgetting their birthday, all circumstances considered.. [ Especially now the problem they're here for (probably?) is starting to show. ]

Happy belated birthday though! Are you feeling a bit better yet?

[haremtrap]

A bit. One of the oracles said he was gonna see if he could help me find a spirit companion. I won't have super senses but I'd get a whole new set of powers!

[flatteries]

Make sure he doesn't try to saddle you up with a bad one! I'm seriously having second thoughts about mine.

[ Even though there wasn't much choice involved there. ]

[haremtrap]

Any powers are better than none, right? What do yours do?

[whatspringislike]

Happy birthday?

[haremtrap]

Thank you?

[fridgeninja]

Happy birthday.

I missed my first birthday while Traveling, too. Even if you're not infiltrating for it, it's pretty distracting to be on a Jaunt, and they use different calendars...

[haremtrap]

Yeah I spent like an hour going over the math before I was sure, but I THINK I got the date right.

[dino_zarf]

Happy birthday.

It's hard to keep track with different world and different calendars. I didn't even have the exact date for Rosie's and I was really trying to nail that one down.

[haremtrap]

Thanks!

I wonder if we could set up some kind of official traveler calendar?

[dino_zarf]

We'd probably need a way to keep track that didn't rely on a specific person updating it.

The Arcana definitely have a way of keeping track.

[haremtrap]

I guess all we'd need is a computer, really. As long as we could keep it safe from being vanished or interfered with by liminal space and kept it from getting connected to any outside networks that would make it want to reset it's internal clock, it would keep the date pretty good.
