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?

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.

If it's close enough to their birthday they could always claim to be a year older if they wanted. I don't think anyone's going to make a big issue of it.

[anthropophagite]

You are right, at least they won't mind it in a place like this.

[fashionably_strong]

This place is enough of a headache without nitpicking over details like that.

Still, at least most people seem to be pretty nice. That makes things easier.

[anthropophagite]

I agree. I haven't had any problems at all so far.

With the people, of course.

[fashionably_strong]

Did you have a bad mall encounter?

[anthropophagite]

Yes, I did.
A lot of people do.

[fashionably_strong]

I haven't gone back since the first incident. Are people still having problems with it?

[anthropophagite]

I don't know, I didn't go back there, either. I don't want to try it.

[fashionably_strong]

Maybe I'll plan a trip with a group to investigate it. Safety in numbers.

[anthropophagite]

That's smart, yes. It's best not to go alone anywhere, in this place.
