Do you think LILITH keeps an updated birthday calendar?

Maybe we should make one. It might make things a little cheerier every month.

[ She is wholly unaware of when her own birthday is, having been busy with the kaiju last week. ]

I think that would be fun.
Gives us plenty of opportunities to throw a little party and make merry.

[yormama]

Wouldn't it be?
It doesn't have to be much, and I think it'd be a good way to show someone's cared for.
By their team and everyone else.

[likemybooks]

Since there's a lot of us, we'll buy some cake and hang out in the common area.
And hand over presents, if they want that.
Do you have a calendar ready?

[yormama]

I have the calendar in my implant! I'm trying to figure it out still.

[likemybooks]

The months are different from your world's, too?
I know mine is in late winter but otherwise I'm trying to calculate what its equivalent date is.

[yormama]

Oh
OH

I see! I'm so sorry, I hadn't thought of that! It IS true they bring a lot of different people here from different places.

[likemybooks]

I take no offense. I would assume you were familiar with 11-month years if you came to Exandria! So, no apology necessary.

[yormama]

11 months? That's not too different at all then!

[likemybooks]

True, although there are more days in a year here than in Exandria.

So, in this world, I would be about 29 years old, if I count the number of days that passed since I was born.

[yormama]

Oh, then you're not much older than me! How old would you be in Exandria, then?

[likemybooks]

Oh god, a bit over 32. I can't tell that to people here or they'll think I'm not longer youthful.

[yormama]

That's all? That doesn't seem that old to me.

[likemybooks]

It's an entirely different decade! It just *feels* older.

[yormama]

Ah...like that. I do understand that. Sometimes, you just FEEL older even if it's just a year.

[likemybooks]

At least we gain wisdom through age. [Says the guy with a negative Wisdom modifier.]

[yormama]

Sometimes, I wish wisdom came easier.

[likemybooks]

A lot of trouble would be saved if we could study it from a book.

[yormama]

Precisely! Firsthand experience is a good teacher but it's also the toughest.

[likemybooks]

It's also really deadly.
I think I almost died twice in the past year.

[yormama]

TWICE?!

Thank goodness you're alright! What happened?

[likemybooks]

We were fighting monsters! Obviously some of us almost died!

One of us actually did, but my friends were able to resurrect him but that's beside the point.

[yormama]

You've fought monsters BEFORE coming here?

No wonder! That must've been so frightening.

[likemybooks]

And that's why LILITH chose me to assist them in slaying kaiju!

But I'm not going to get close to death this time.

[yormama]

Don't worry! There are lots of people here who can help you out!
Myself included.

[likemybooks]

Then I must put my life in your hands, just as you can put yours in mine.
