This might be a silly question. But how do you suppose we should be counting our birthdays here?

I technically should be 19 now, I think.
But if it's Halloween, I'm still a bit away from my birthday, too.

Should I be 18 or 19?

oh!
you recognize the calendar??

i was just thinking about how none of it seems to match up to what i know but also
time has always been kind of a weird soup

[anthropophagite]

It's the Earth calendar. I don't know the year being used in this place, but Halloween is on October 31st.

Do you come from a different world?

depends on whether you're into linear time or desk calendars, i guess.

it was new year's day back home before i got here, so i just had to count. buuuut my birthday's in february, not the summer.

happy pseudobirthday?

[anthropophagite]

It would have been last month, actually. I guess with everything that happened, I wasn't thinking about it.

[willtheunwise]

Technically I came from April straight into June and haven’t really thought about it since my birthday isn’t until Spring anyway.

[anthropophagite]

I suppose it's not something a lot of people would care about.
Hopefully we won't have to stay here long enough to have to track it, either, right?

i'd say happy late birthday

i'm not gonna count down the days. i might just stick with the usual date unless i get bored enough to sit down and figure out what it'd be back home

what about you? you want to stick to the usual date or figure the new one?

[anthropophagite]

Thank you, Robby-san.
Though, you are probably right, it's easier to count the date we have here. I wouldn't have to count days and do math.

i don't think i've ever thought about a birthday until right now

seems like you could celebrate it if you want and not if you don't want

@samsa, text

[anthropophagite]

I never celebrated it before, so I suppose it doesn't make a difference.

But it'd be easier to go along with this place's calendar, right?

If it is something that may bring you joy here, than celebrating that day is not something that others should consider as silly.

Though, on another hand... I do believe that we were all brought here from different times.

May I ask -- what exactly is Halloween?

@samsa, text

[anthropophagite]

It's perhaps easier to follow this place's calendar, I think.

Halloween is a celebration. It used to be a religious festival held on November 1st but with time it became something of fun, where people dress up and go around asking for candy.

It doesn't exist everywhere, though. It's not really celebrated in my country, for example.

[ Oh — Peter hadn't thought about that until now. His own birthday's coming up soon, isn't it? It's an odd thought. Especially considering he's not sure whether he's actually still... alive, back home. ]

I'm actually not sure, now that you mention it
Do you think we're even.... aging, here?
This place feels like some bad dream

[ oh ahahah, same. kaneki has no idea if he's alive back home, either. Which is why he made this post, in a way ]

Someone mentioned we might not be.
I'm not sure, this place is so strange, after all. And it has magic and other things happening, which might mean there is a big chance that might be true.

That's a good question. I'm not even sure but I'd say you would be 19?

Because you'll be mentally older?

@samsa, text

[anthropophagite]

I don't know if there is a big difference, to be honest.

Do you think there is?

[ .. well, there's another thing entirely that Daniel hadn't even thought about himself yet until this point..

And since thinking about it a little too hard threatens to make his head hurt, maybe the easier answer is just-- ]

Do you want to celebrate it?

[anthropophagite]

I didn't really celebrate it back home, so there is no need. I was merely curious at what others were doing.

Sounds like it's only a problem for a couple of months at most. Why worry about it?

I was curious about what other people were doing.

But, actually, I'm AB. I'm not sure it fits my personality like that.

Simple:

Which one do you want to be?

Ain't like anyone's gonna come after you whatever way you decide on it.

@samsa, text

[anthropophagite]

I think it's easier to stick with the calendar here. It'd be less confusing.

But you are right, it's not like anyone would care, right?

[Text] un: capsulecorp

[fashionably_strong]

I think it makes sense to follow the calendar here while we're all here. So you should be 18 and turning 19 on your birthday.

[anthropophagite]

I suppose it'd be a lot easier, right?

Though some people might have to wait a long time for their next birthday, if their time is different from this place's.

I'm not too concerned about it.

Were you looking forward to your birthday?

@samsa, text

[anthropophagite]

Really? You don't celebrate it?

Not exactly. I don't really celebrate my birthday, but I was curious as to what other people are doing.
