.065 - someone breached through his bday booyah

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm actually curious, if you have had your birthday here or might have your birthday here and just haven't yet, would you count yourself as a year older when that day comes?

Or is this place so removed from your normal life and time that you don't think any time is actually passing even as you feel it dragging on you here?

We already talked about this, but for the record, I'm still on the fence about being twenty three versus twenty four.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm either 28 or 30.

[imaythrowuponyou]

I think I'll worry about it when it happens.

[... Which it technically did but he was only here for a few months, so it doesn't. Feel like a legit birthday, so. NEXT YEAR if we're still trapped in this hellhole oh god Jim want to go home :c]

[Private]

How are you doing?

All private fuck this

[captain_jtkirk]

Wasn't your birthday in January?

And you leeched me. How do you think I'm doing?

[Text. Because...he's been thinking about this.]

[lastmanstanding]

...I think that being here made me more aware of them.

[Especially because they didn't count, but you know.]

[captain_jtkirk]

[Kirk counts them :c]

In a good or bad way?

[19centconstable]

Mine ought to have been a few days ago, but I don't feel prepared to turn 32 just yet.

[captain_jtkirk]

How is different than 31?

[Is this public? if it's not feel free to ignore.]

[lastmanstanding]

[There's a strangled noise on the other end of the communication. This is either a not comment or a mistaken reading. A Birthday? really?]

[scentbombed]

Well, I had a look at an Earth calendar, which is what we seem to be going by, and my birthday's not even on it, so... gods only know what I'm supposed to think about that.

[captain_jtkirk]

... when is your birthday by your calender?

[impure_tale]

I can certainly admit that I've stopped counting. I do mark the date, however.

[captain_jtkirk]

The Admiral marks mine too.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I don't count. I'd rather be twenty-six than almost twenty-nine, and it's not like I've aged.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I feel 30 though. [That's a lie, he feels like 87]

[creatingalegacy]

I try not to think about that.

[captain_jtkirk]

Well that's one solution.

[doctor_j_crane]

I count myself as older. To not do so is to dismiss the experiences that I've had on the barge.

[captain_jtkirk]

What happens when you go back home then?

[peektuttut]

[Okay maybe we can start talking again. Maybe.]

I was still seventeen when I went home. I don't know if that means I'm nineteen her or not, but it probably just doesn't matter.

[captain_jtkirk]

[Omg we're bffs]

Why wouldn't it matter?

[with_discipline]

[Pft age. Why must you all talk about age.]

Does it make a difference?

[captain_jtkirk]

[BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN >|]

If I'm turning 30, I'd like to know.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Yes. [Lol she doesn't care, she just wants to tell him he's old. :c]

[captain_jtkirk]

To what question.

[surfaceshine]

How can you not?

[No one ever marks his anyway, including himself. He's used to it.]

[captain_jtkirk]

Maybe if you don't think this time counts as part of your life?

[wakethedragon]

[He hasn't thought about his name day since arriving on the Barge.

Hmm.]

I would need to know what age I would be when I return to the Seven Kingdoms. This place confuses matters.

[captain_jtkirk]

So... you would count the years?

[ichoosefight]

I keep track of two ages, and start over whenever I go home.

[captain_jtkirk]

That seems really complicated.

[waketerror]

Haven't been here long enough to have a birthday, so I'm not counting it just yet.

Maybe you earn years in experience here, not age.

[captain_jtkirk]

I don't really think maturity level is something people work on here either.

[darknessb4me]

I can't even remember when mine is.

[captain_jtkirk]

Well that kinda sucks.

[tailless]

I don't know if I would.

I've been on so many different planets in any case that... it's not anything new.

[captain_jtkirk]

How many planets have you been on?
