whens your birthday?
im curious
and how do you normally celebrate it at your home?

where im originally from we dont use years or months or any of these things as a time term
a sweep isnt even equivalent to a year
and you have one wriggling day a sweep
although theres not much you do on them compared to human parties which i think are more fun
i cant even begin to figure out how you would equate a wriggling day to a yearly thing anyway
so i just did what jake suggested and picked something else for fun

speaking of!
ive got a list now and since i need to get it to several people this seems appropriate
sans terezi nepeta equius gamzee the birthday calendar is as follows:
february 14 eridan ampora february 22 sollux captor march 25 aradia megido
april 13 john egbert and jane crocker august 31 kanaya maryam
september 21 or 22 karkat vantas because whichever is the equinox!
and then december 1 is jake english and jade harley
december 3 is strider day
and december 4 is lalonde day

so that crosses off everyone i know from home but i do not have the days of everyone i know here
thus this very important question!
if you dont have one we can pick one because this is exciting!

[ as always, if you respond in something else, Aradia will match you. ]

I'm no good at math. I'm better at gym. [She nods.]

Do you guys have school or anything?

Ah! Star signs! [She's sort of familiar with these. The concept, at least.] Hadn't ever heard of them referred to like that before, is all. Who are your ancestors though? Distant family or something?

[She's just going to peruse that file for a bit.]

That's basically it! They were trolls who lived a long time before us, who shared our signs. ...And it turns out they were born at the same time as us, and we're related via ectobiology, but that's an entirely different story.

Well if you have the same birthda-- err...wriggling days, was it? Wouldn't you have the same star signs?

[Oops she misunderstood, what else is new?]

What's ectobiology?

No, the signs didn't have to do with our birthdays! That's a human thing, I guess.

It's cloning or breeding done through appearification!

Appearifiwhatsit?

[Nope. Still baffled.]

Yeah! Attending so many parties just because you know a lot of people would be very tiring, even if you didn't mean to.

I take it there's a lot of people from your world here?

[He's kind of envious of that. Atsuro's the only one from his world for several months now.]

oh i hope so too!
it can be a little hard to get a bunch of people together
but if nothing else you can always talk to friends over these!!

i like most cake flavors
at least i have yet to meet one i dont like haha

well two sweeps
it can admittedly get confusing :p
i should just stick to human years i guess

yeah exactly!
although of course i want to wish them well on special days!

and yes
there are counting me
eighteen of us all told
from different time periods and occasionally different planets

it is!!
and i will mark that down
thank you equius :D

are you not a fan of chocolates? :o

of course you may!
troll romance works different from human romance in the most fundamental of ways
while humans have one quadrant ie your boyfriend or girlfriend
trolls have four
flushed pale ashen calignious
each quadrant is a different type of romance

you are a terrific friend
and i am giving you five stars
☆☆☆☆☆
i just learned how to make them arent they cute

It's a machine that can make things appear, even across time and space!

We learn most things through our lusii or informational videos and the like - there's no formal educational institution.

is it really?
thats where limebloods would fit on the hemospectrum
but they were wiped out ages ago
i mean that karkat doesnt really fit into the hemospectrum because he isnt on it
his blood is red like yours
and no the signs are just our connections
but since we created the human world
in our universe
its likely thats how our influence came through
in the constellations

:(
that seems strange
you seem really nice
i cant think why anyone would think youd slighted them

Yeah! I bet if you have a bunch of friends here, it'd be just as difficult so maybe the same challenges go into making a nice birthday here than it would elsewhere... But you'd come to my party, right? I'll try to make it super accessible and give people plenty of warning so they can make it in time! Same here! I don't get why people can be so picky, but I guess I do have my favorites!

Not really. You know, that doesn't sound so bad, even if I generally support the thought of 'only one love in your life'. Though it makes me wonder how the other quadrants would feel about one another.

I see... well, if a color were completely removed from the hemospectrum, then I suppose it would make sense for a sign that doesn't quite fit anywhere else to be inserted there. That certainly is interesting, though, particularly given that the Zodiac has long been considered to have an influence on humans' lives based on the sign that we were born under, as I'm sure you've already learned. That was part of why I asked if they had any particular significance in your universe--that, and those of us who are born with the potential to use magic create ancestral crests that give us access to all of the magical knowledge of our forebears.

That's simply how it is in the Mage Association, I'm afraid. Of course, it's only a minor nuisance since I can't actually imagine anyone stupid enough to actually curse a gift managing to get the better of me.

[France has never heard himself described quite in that way, but -]

Actually, I think that's the most apt description of what I am that I've ever heard. You, Mademoiselle, are uniquely astute. :)

The one holiday that has been consistently celebrated here is Christmas. Valentine's Day is another that is acknowledged. Other than those two, it seems to depend on whether this place will behave itself.

I don't think many people here use the kind I do... （￣〜￣；）
Which is kind of strange, since there are a lot of Japanese people here!
It makes me feel kind of childish at times... ○|￣|＿

A monster? Isn't that dangerous? Don't you have parents?

January 19.

i would!! :)
im not sure if sollux and dirk and jake would follow
but i can split off from them as needed haha

i like the chocolate and strawberry kinds best i guess

i think its fun not childish!!
you should write however you are most comfortable
that can be your quirk :)

the more romantic trolls believe theres only one person meant for each quadrant so
i dont know that thats impossible :p
and it depends!
obviously there are sometimes jealousies and problems
but i think thats true of human single quadrant relationships too
