Two questions for you all. One of them minor but kind of personally important. The second more of an excuse for you to ramble at me.

Okay, first. How do people usually keep track of birthdays around here? Because I should be turning sixteen very soon, except now it's like May and I've lost a bunch of months. Do I have to do math to figure out when I turn sixteen or do I just keep saying I'm fifteen for another half a year? This is important. I could be driving.

Setting that aside for a moment, an open question. More of a request, really. Can you tell me about magic in your world? I always assumed magic was kind of a universal constant, but from what little I've learned, it seems like magic can come in many different forms depending on the world. So tell me about yours.

I'd be happy to answer any questions about my world's magic in return. I can't use it myself but I ran a podcast about it. Maybe I'll even compile the information I learn here into something like that.

Maddie out.

Give yourself a new birthday while you're here.

[ SIMPLE!!! ]

For example, I just handwaved the difference. I went with April itself being the general time I turned seventeen, since mine is early April back home. In my case, though, there really isn't many months separating me from here and back home.

[ He's shrugging over here. His birthday is far from a big deal. ]

As for magic, the closest thing you get in my timeline's version of Earth, is the stuff magicians do.

Then why is this the first time I'm hearing about this, dear?

Ah... sorry.

[ He doesn't want to go into too much over the network. So if Goro wants more detail, he'll offer to meet him in person. ]

I got used to spending the day pretending it's just any other normal day.

Guess it didn't help when my 16th was spent moving into Leblanc.

Maybe we should have a belated party, then.

Hmm...

If you're doing one for me, I can think of a couple of other people who definitely deserve one.

At least with the two from my world, Futaba's birthday is in February and Makoto's is April 23rd. Ann's isn't until close to the end of the year.

On that note, we need to ask Kurama which day his is on.

[ A beat. ]

I wonder if Morgana would want one, as well.

[ A birthday... ]

[blackestwitch]

First off, just an FYI that Siri has problems reading your username. Person if eyed? Or maybe I just don't get it.

Anyway, my birthday is towards the end of the year, but it was almost there before I came here. And now it's May. So either I have to wait the rest of the year or finagle it somewhere sooner.

[beguiledcard]

[ WHOOPS... he feels bad, but! He has zero problems with explaining. ]

Sorry about that. It's a joke, actually.

The word it's based on is "personified." The first part of it was replaced with "purr" since I like cats.

[ He'll leave it at that for now. Shoving the next layer of the pun at her right off the bat feels like a bit too much at once.

puns are a delicate art tyvm ]

I vote sooner, since you never know how long you'll be here.

Besides, you're surrounded by people who love parties anyway.

[blackestwitch]

I also like cats. I get the feeling we'll get along.

On one hand, you make good points for going sooner with my birthday. On the other, I haven't made a lot of friends, so I'm not sure there could really be a party.

[beguiledcard]

Well, we could use the party as a way to get to know everyone.

Otherwise, there's no harm in holding off for a little bit longer. This is all entirely up to you. Be the master of your own big day!

[ Akira... plz. ]

[blackestwitch]

Yeah maybe I'll hold off on a party for now. I can still be 16 without a party right away.
