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?

There you go. Not that hard to figure out in the end.

And that's not what I said. I said there won't be anyone that's gonna pick a fight with you over it.

[anthropophagite]

Well, it's a bit the same right? Other people will have to believe you when you tell them your age, and they can't really say otherwise.

So in the end, I suppose it doesn't matter.

[apshot]

Matters to you though, doesn't it?

[anthropophagite]

[ Nothing related to kaneki really matters much, he thinks. ]

Oh. It's not important.
I was just curious, that's all.

Since things in this place are always so weird.

[apshot]

[ Katsuki rolls his eyes. Hard. If it wasn't important, then why ask about it in the first place? Clearly it's something that has to matter to the guy on some level.

Whatever. Not going to argue that. ]

"Weird" isn't how I would phrase it.

[anthropophagite]

How would you phrase it?

[apshot]

A place that's trying to fuck with our heads.

[anthropophagite]

I suppose that's true as well.
We don't really know what is going on. Or how this is even happening.

[apshot]

And despite how long we've all been here we have fuck all to show for it in the end.

[anthropophagite]

The university had some clues recently, right? And the newsletter as well.

[apshot]

Hadn't been there yet personally. There's other shit going on right now too.

[anthropophagite]

Yes, of course.

I only meant that we are all working to find out what is going on, so hopefully we can get some answers soon.

[apshot]

All I know is that I wanna hear it from our "hosts" themselves.

Ain't no way that someone isn't behind this.

[anthropophagite]

I'm certain there is. But they don't seem to want to make themselves known yet.

If you could, what would you ask of them? I don't think they'd send us home in any case.

[apshot]

I know that. They ain't gonna do something like that just because we ask.

So I'd wanna know what the point is. What do they think they will get out of it.

[anthropophagite]

They seem to be testing us.

Someone mentioned aliens wanting to learn about other species and how we work together... [ it sounds silly. But this place can be so silly ]

[apshot]

Aliens.

And just what are the chances of that actually being a thing?

[anthropophagite]

There are non-humans in this place. Would it be really that strange?

[apshot]

"Nonhumans" aren't the same as aliens.

[anthropophagite]

No, they are not. But I mean there are many different species, so aliens wouldn't be that strange.

[apshot]

I would consider it, if you'd met an actual alien.

[anthropophagite]

I'm sure there are some in this place, no?

[apshot]

You're saying that because you haven't yet, huh?

[anthropophagite]

Not yet, no.
But it will eventually happen I'm sure!

[apshot]

And when it does, you can get back to me.
