.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.

[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?

[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]

I'm either 28 or 30.

[batmanschmatman]

You still don't feel all that much older than me.

All private fuck this

[captain_jtkirk]

Wasn't your birthday in January?

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

[Kirk counts them :c]

In a good or bad way?

[captain_jtkirk]

That's because I act 12.

Fine private you baby

[imaythrowuponyou]

Yeah. I still don't think I'm 34.

About as well as I expected, which means you're never gonna let this go, are you?

[batmanschmatman]

Sometimes. On average, I'd ballpark around mid teens, early twenties. [Trollolol.]

So, is a pirate's life the life for you?

[captain_jtkirk]

Space pirate maybe.

It reminded me of what I'd lost and how I screwed up. I mean it's not much but I'd be 43 if I were still alive.

private - eat me leech boy >|

[captain_jtkirk]

I feel 30.

And no, I'm not. Because you put leeches on me.

[19centconstable]

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

[captain_jtkirk]

So you don't count your time spent here as part of your life?

[captain_jtkirk]

How is different than 31?

[batmanschmatman]

You're probably less likely to get scurvy, what with medical advancements and all that.

[19centconstable]

Well, there's a two...

private - don't make me hit you

[imaythrowuponyou]

You are not allowed to be 30 while I'm still 33.

I didn't do it intentionally!

[captain_jtkirk]

Isn't that still a vitamin D problem?

private - YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ALREADY

[captain_jtkirk]

I've had three birthdays here.

Only one of them had leeches.

[captain_jtkirk]

That's not really a milestone birthday. That's all I'm saying.

[batmanschmatman]

Vitamin C, that's why people in the British navy are called limeys.

private - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

[imaythrowuponyou]

Jim, why would I ever willingly put leeches on you if I wasn't some goddamn witch doctor from a million years ago because the Admiral's a fucking awful driver?

[19centconstable]

It is still a bit older though. And one starts to worry about everything one still wishes to accomplish.
