Intranet Calendar

[verdeleonessa]

I guess this is as good as time as any to announce a project I'm working on Intranet.

I'm putting together a calendar. An accurate calendar of what date it is in Liminal Space - or well, as accurate as it can be through created spaces. I know you might think this is impossible, but it's not, if you follow certain readings and edit some coding to match them and make sure your ticks are counted correctly... Currently, it's March 2nd.

That being said, I can insert everyone's birthdays onto the calendar so we can celebrate you accordingly. Of course, this is no way mandatory if you'd rather keep your birthdays a secret. And you don't need to tell us your age either.

It's not completely ready yet, but I can start putting up the birthdays while I make final adjustments.

Though one day I will find a way to count time in Liminal Space proper, just you wait.

I... don' t know Rosie's exact birthday.

[Which he feels really bad about!]

But it's coming up in the next month and a half and we won't be able to miss it. Would be nice to have a date to say.

[verdeleonessa]

How come we won't be able to miss it?

[Color her curious.]

If that's the case though, I'll let you know what the calendar says on that day so you'll know her actual birthday.

[dino_zarf]

Well. For her first birthday Emperor and Empress filled all of LIminal Space with cake.

[It was not subtle]

It was yummy and fun.

[verdeleonessa]

Huh. I guess they're really fond of her, huh?


Oh and if I'm not able to tell you the exact date, I'll leave you instructions on how to check it if you'd like. Since there's no telling what kind of a situation we'll be in.

[dino_zarf]

They've basically appointed themselves her godparents.

I'd appreciate that. Of course, that assumes we aren't infiltrated over it.

[verdeleonessa]

She will likely be safe, then. With Arcana looking after her.

I hope one of us isn't and that they still hold a party even with her infiltrating if that's the case.

[tookashirototheknee]

Well, I know two important ones. February 29 and April 3.

[verdeleonessa]

Nice try. I have you, mom and dad listed in the calendar as well. At least on my personal one, if you'd rather keep yourself out of the public one.

[starshaper]

Amaaaaaazing, Pidge-chan, you're a genius! Mine's June 30 and my fiance, Mamoru Chiba's is August 3rd!

[verdeleonessa]

Got it, you're both added.

You can thank Matt for making that big announcement over Shiro's 6 and half birthday. It gave me the idea to add birthdays to the calendar I was already working on.

[starshaper]

Thank you!

Hahah, okay, I'll be sure to thank Matt too for giving you the wonderful idea for us all to have even more reasons to eat cake. Not that cake needs reasons.

[verdeleonessa]

My most common reason for eating cake is to get energy to code all night.

[starshaper]

That's an amazing reason to eat cake, yes, I should do more cake all-nighters just for the fun of eating delicious cakes.

[verdeleonessa]

Well, if you ever want to try playing old video games or watch some retro tv shows, we could... and have some cake with it.

[helborn]

My birthday is February 10th.

[verdeleonessa]

And your name is? Unless you want it to be an every year mystery of who this blank birthday is.

[helborn]

Oh, right, sorry. I'm Casper.

[verdeleonessa]

Got it. I'm Pidge. Nice to meet you.

[helborn]

It's nice to meet you, too.

So what you're saying is that time does pass consistently in Liminal Space if you count it?

...what happens if you don't count it, I wonder?

Also, November 29 for myself and July 15 for Battler Ushiromiya, if you don't mind. And March 29 for Maria Ushiromiya.

[verdeleonessa]

I can't say for sure about Liminal Space itself, but time does pass consistently inside created spaces. So far every created space I've tested this theory on holds the same date and time.

When I tried calculating time outside Liminal Space I got an error. All my sensors for counting time just stopped working. It's fascinating and frustrating at the same time...

I'll add all of those. Though do you want your name to show up as well?

[She's not quite sure if she's met her.]

[awitchdidit]

[Beatrice could swear she knows the "voice" but maybe she doesn't remember it from where she thinks she does.]

That makes sense. Liminal Space exists solely at the behest of its observers. Rooms are held in place by the will of a conscious individual, most of whom perceive time objectively like most people living on Earth. Their Rooms follow their assumptions.

And my name is Beatrice. Beatrice the Golden, if we need a full name. Have we not spoken before?

[verdeleonessa]

When you put it like that, it does make a lot of sense. I'll need to rethink my plans of tackling Liminal Space from the science field.

Full names are great when we have many with the same name, of course. Otherwise it's not really necessary.

I don't think think we have. I mean, a version of me used to be here before me, some time ago. My name is Pidge.

[awitchdidit]

Wait. Do you have a very suspiciously similar-looking brother?

[This is getting out of hand. Now there are three of them. Well, total.]

[verdeleonessa]

We do get told we look a like a lot. If you're thinking about Matt, that's him.
