[Action]

[It's about time for Gelda to check up on Regal again. His recovery's a slow one, but there's definitely been improvement since he was returned last week. A bowl of homemade soup in both hands and her journal clamped underneath her arm, she'll be heading up the stairs. Sadly, recent events have left Gelda a bit more distraught than she'd like to admit. Before she fully realizes what's going on, the journal slips out from underneath her arm and hits the stairs with a bang, leaving her so startled that the soup bowl soon follows its example and bounces all the way down to the first floor. Much to Gelda's displeasure, the journal is ready to record this mishap.]

[Accidental voice]

Ack!

[Bang, bang, bang, smash.]

... Oh honestly.

[She's caught the hint quite quickly and decides not to pry.] Then, if it's up to us, we'll both be here for quite some time.

Score willing. [He pauses.] Or...us, I guess. Or whatever driving force we have here.

It may even be that this world has a memory of its own, which none of us are able to read.

[...that is a really weird thought.]

You might be right. But it's so strange to think that the ground we're walking on doesn't have a single fonon in it.

The physical laws we've known to be true don't apply in this world anymore. Even the amount of months in a year is different. It does make one wonder about the laws of Luceti.

I know! How are we supposed to celebrate our birthdays? I suppose I could count back, but that's so much work...

...by the way, what's your birthday, Professor?

Undine Redecan 13. I believe it was a Sylphday. [But you're not getting a birthyear, Guy, because then she'd really be old.]

[Guy would never ask for a woman's age! He's far too ~~intelligent~~ charming to do something like that.]

Duly noted, Professor. Maybe one day I'll actually figure out what days our birthdays would fall on.

Wouldn't it also depend on what day it was in Auldrant when we were taken? If that date doesn't correspond with the date of arrival in Luceti, it still wouldn't mean too much.

Well, I would just count the days back; it'd be every two or so passings of this year that-

[He stops. Wait. WAIT.] ...actually, that won't work. The calendar we're using here isn't constant.

I believe that with all the factors to take into account, calculating an exact birthday might be near-impossible. Though personally, I'd settle for an educated guess.

Then for you, I'll make one. It'll probably be wrong, but with any luck it'll still be in the month it should be.

[She chuckles briefly.] I'd like that. Thank you, Guy.
