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. ]

you should definitely talk to him!
he needs to be more social
its good for him :D

and i should be in goldenrod by the 15th of february if not sooner :o

[tendered]

Hehe! It's important to be positive and with positive people! I'm sure we could both get him to open up a little more!

Okay! We should meet for chocolate dipped strawberries!! Should I wait for you on the outskirts of town? Or are you taking the train?

[timelymaid]

im working on it :p
but help wouldnt be a bad thing

were travelling by pokemon
bird pokemon to be exact!
so no to the train

[tendered]

By the end of the summer he's going to be so brighter! [ She has the utmost faith that she'll be able to convince him to become a softie... Within the span of six months... ]

Ooh! Okay! Then, in that case, maybe I'll just meet you when you tell me when you settled in! Is the view really pretty?

[timelymaid]

haha well
i actually like him just the way he is
i just think he could use more people in his life to talk to
because sometimes he needs a shove to be social

and that sounds fine!
ill contact you when we get there
and its lovely actually :)
want me to send you a picture?

[tendered]

Hmmmm! In that case, I'll still talk to him! I get what you're saying! I mean, my best friend from home, Toshiro Hitsugaya, is grumpy and would probably lighten up a bit if he had more people to talk to. He'd still be kinda grumpy, but he'd be nicer and warmer once you get past that gruff exterior which would take a lot less effort, which would probably make their lives a little easier.

Ooh! If you can! I really like high views!

[timelymaid]

toshiro hitsugaya?
i havent met him before!

then hang on

[ Because she can text you a few taken on the way. ]

[tendered]

I don't think he's ever been here. With the exception of Nanao, I don't think anyone from my world has been here.

Okay!

[ She will look forward to the amazing views with bated breath!


And then promptly ask if it's scary up there. ]

[timelymaid]

oh!
that must be a little lonely :/

[ HANDWAVED PICTURES OF JOHTO FROM ABOVE ARE TEXTED...

because wow pictures. ]

[tendered]

Not really. I mean, sometimes I feel a little lonely but then I remember that Johto has a bunch of people in it that I can befriend. When I first started out, I was really shy and I was still trying to figure things out. But, now that I talk to all sorts of people, I'm kinda thankful for the situation I'm in, you know? If there were too many people from my home world, I'd kinda attach myself to them and not talk to strangers as much. I'm truly starting to become more confident on my own.

And my gosh! Aradia! Those pictures are so so pretty!

[timelymaid]

thats good then!
and i agree there are many people to befriend
how long have you been here though??

:D youre welcome!

[tendered]

I've been here since late October, so that's around five months. I can't believe it'll be six real soon...

How long have you been here?

[timelymaid]

since november!
so just a month below you basically

[tendered]

Was it difficult for you to start out?

It really seems like it'd be easier to start out here in the spring or summer. I mean, it's warmer and there's more sunlight then. When I first started, it was kinda cold and dark.

[timelymaid]

actually not really!
but i also had friends who had been here for years
so
they were somewhat helpful :)

[tendered]

Oh! That must be really lucky to have! Apparently some of my friends were here long ago, but, they were gone by the time I arrived.

Still, I didn't have it too hard either since I read up on what everything was and already have free room and board! I'm really thankful for the help I was given. [ Even if it was by Team Rocket ): Oh well. At least she didn't help them out. ]

[timelymaid]

yes!
i try to pay it forward by helping out newcomers as they arrive
hopefully it helps at least a small amount

and free room and board is certainly a big help!!

[tendered]

I try to do that too! I'm submitting drawings for a beginner's guide for diagrams and stuff!

It is! I'm glad I had a place to adjust. I don't think I'd be able to go anywhere immediately without settling down first.

[timelymaid]

oh??
someones making a guide?

[tendered]

Yeah! They're almost finished with it! Now they just have to complete the pictures for the less literate people out there. [ She knows a couple. No worries. ]

[timelymaid]

perhaps i will offer my assistance if i see them around!
it sounds like an excellent way to spend ones time anyway

[tendered]

Yeah! And various new people recognize you as a really helpful person!

[timelymaid]

do you like being helpful? :o
or rather being recognized as a helpful person?

[tendered]

I like being helpful. I guess I can't really say I care about the recognition, because helping others isn't something you do for yourself!

[timelymaid]

no its more about helping them for them!
although i think some people do help others for themselves :p
