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. ]

yes!
its not surprising our solar years are different though
im not from earth!

so if youre born on january 2nd
you still grow one year older only on january 1st?
thats interesting
what country is that

Oh, that makes sense. [ sort of. once he gets over the omg alien bit. ] Where are you from then? Earth does exist where you come from though?

Yes, and you stay the same age all year regardless of when you were born. We do use the international age for some things though.

I'm from Korea.

alternia!
and it does
i have human friends who are from earth :D

what things do you use the international age for?
is international age the one dependent on when you were born

oh ive never heard of that earth country before!
so far i know about canada and america
and that europe is a continent

I've never heard of that planet.

International age is based on chronological aging, yes. For official documents and legal documents mostly. But day to day people use their Korean age.

So your human friends are from Canada and America? Korea is in Asia, which is another continent.

its not at all close to earth so im not surprised!
i wouldnt have met my earth friends if we hadnt created their universe

my human friends are from america!
but i am speaking to someone new from canada
and now i am speaking to someone from korea :p
my horizons are ever expanding haha

[ ...don't have the brain to touch the 'created their universe' part. ]

I think my horizons are expanding faster than I can keep up with.

[ That's really for the best. ]

haha thats a common feeling here
i take it youre new? :)

I am. I've been here two weeks now. [ time sure flies. ]

Have you been here a long time?

two and a half months
but many of the people from home have been here over a year :p

You seem like you've been here longer. [ he means that as a compliment, kind of. like she's not weirded out by any of this stuff. ]

It seems quite a few people have been here pretty long.

im used to things that dont make a lot of sense!
and since there are so many people from home here
its sort of nice
if that makes any sense :p

yes i think the longest ive heard is 2+ years!
which is rather a lot

Life isn't nearly so exciting where I come from. It does seem like this place would be fun with friends though.

Two years is still a long time though, even after two weeks I wonder what's happening back home.

haha my home is
substantially more exciting to say the least

i would wonder but
im only missing three people at this point
so mostly i wonder about what my friends here are doing

That doesn't seem to be uncommon among the people here.

That makes sense. Makes me wonder if people I know will turn up here.

no it doesnt!
a lot of places had wars or conflicts
im not sure why thats the norm

theres a good chance
the people that come here are pretty varied

It's pretty quiet where I come from.

I really hope so. I mean if I can't choose to go back I'd like to see my friends and family again.

ill keep an eye out for anyone from korea at least!
what were your friends like at home?

Thank you in advanced.

Well Yoonjae has really sharp eyes and a mole under his left eye. And his lips stick out kind of like a duck's.

Shiwon has long hair with blunt bangs and she has a big face, really big cheeks. She'll probably say something about a band called H.O.T.

[ let's start with those two. he's pretty sure if Sungjae showed up anywhere he'd hear him. ]

yoonjae and shiwon
okay
ive written that down :D

Thank you very much.

no problem!
