[Tinya is sitting at an almost obscenely long dining table with a red velvet cupcake with a single candle in it sitting in front of her.

the light of the candle is all that's there in the room]

Today is my twentieth birthday.

I've had more birthdays away from home than I've had at home. Two more, in fact. How does that work, I wonder.

Anyway. Happy birthday to me?

[and she blows out the candle, leaving everything in darkness]

i dont remember what his month was about. is his this one? nothing weird happened yet cept the portals. so i guess ill grumble about him less

and bc its your birthday

you got it 🙂 you know the song back home or the omni?

[unphase]

Yes, it's this month, April. Unlike certain Pthumerians I can name, Argonaut is fairly harmless, even helpful on occasions. There are stories about Argonaut appearing to people who were in what they thought were losing battles and rallying them to the point of winning the battle.

It is!

From back home. It's a good enough song that it's endured for a thousand years.

argonaut ever appeared to you? one showed up to see me for a blessed day. but i thought they were just lost at first

[ Typical Cloverfield...... ]

and damn. literally? what year are you from

[unphase]

Yes, more than once. Once when I first arrived and was feeling so unsure about everything and another time on my last birthday. I guess part of me is hoping he'll see this and pay me another visit.

I'm from 3001, Terran Standard Year. Though, I myself am from Bgztl.

i know we arent all from the same places anyway but its still weird to be reminded

esp when you know the same references

is bgztl a planet?

[unphase]

I'm used to it.

I was in the diplomatic corps for a long time and then I was in the Legion.

Almost all of us are from different planets.

And, it is!

It's in perfect orbital and rotational sync with Terra, but it's in another dimension.

[strongroots]

ok ok ok. different dimension in the same way theres a different version of trench and that other city here, right

now we've got layers of reality going on?

do you have a mirror you too out there
