i'm curious;
what kinda shit do you people do for your birthdays?

Comments

At the time, work. Some large events [Like worms infesting the walls and crawling into his skin. Finding a dead body under their building.] Sometimes it was travel. [To a wax museum to stop one potential end of the world. Traveling to Norway to stare into a black sun.]

The usual things. You know how life gets.

[bratherine]

( Ah, so just normal life stuff, yes. )

aye
sounds like the same shit that happens everywhere

[eyediot]

Yes. Normal things that happen everywhere.

Why do you ask? Is yours coming up then?

[bratherine]

it's today
no i'm not askin cause i don't know what to do

( She's heard that so much that she expects it to be the next words he types, and so pre-empts it. )

[eyediot]

Happy birthday then
Far be it from me to assume your motives in asking. That said, I do hope you have something enjoyable planned for yourself?

[bratherine]

would make you the first

( ing everyone in this post. :| )

aye, i do

[eyediot]

I just assume if that's what you wanted, you would have said as much from the start.

But glad to hear that. Why were you asking, then?

[bratherine]

( finally! someone gets it!

... admittedly, she wouldn't have said as much, but for once she genuinely is just coming from a place of birthday-morning curiosity. )

curious
with people from all these worlds
wondered if things were different

[eyediot]

You know, that *is* something I hadn't considered myself. I would imagine there are all manner of traditions and habits from others around.

Anything interesting?

[bratherine]

most worlds seem to do the same thing
guess that's interesting in a way

( If Marc was around, he'd probably be able to talk about why that is, but he isn't. So instead there's just Kate's short answers. )

[eyediot]

Hm. A commonality between multiverse traditions. That is interesting.

Anything you feel particularly curious about?

[bratherine]

magic. powers. whatever you want to call them.

[eyediot]

Afraid I don't have any of those. Very boring, plain human.

[bratherine]

( well, if he's lying, she'll (probably) see when they meet. (': )

that's what makes it interesting

( okay, so she's kind of lying there, too. )

[eyediot]

[He is a totally normal human right now not a clue what you're talking about ma'am.]

What is? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I've lost a train on this conversation a bit.

[bratherine]

magic and shit
it's interesting cause it's different, right?

[eyediot]

Different, sure. Also not real in my world.

[bratherine]

that a good or bad thing?

[eyediot]

Depends on how you look at it I suppose.

[There may not be magic, but boy is there other bullshit.]

Still. For what it's worth: happy birthday.

[bratherine]

fair enough

( and, a second later, because Tamamo teaches some amount of manners; )
