[There's a first time for everything: in this case, a conversational post by Theo.]

so do we age here?

like if for some god awful reason we spent like a decade here would we actually be aging?

i don't think birthdays should really count when you're already dead, but that doesn't mean they might not be happening. i'm just curious.

how long do you think someone could stay on here until they kicked you out, anyway?


[There's a minute or two between this message and the next.]

It is not my birthday, and i'm not telling you when it is.

Yeah we do. We are. [ Thanks in advance for not interrogating how he's so sure of this! ]

Satan making you do a five-year plan?

[sanctus_dei]

you been around long enough on these ships to figure it out, or did you find out some other way?

i'm sure he think i'll be graduating in no time or something. i'm not going by any schedule he might be thinking up.

[omniavincit]

My hair's still falling out. That's all. [ It's not all, which is why a minute or so later he adds: ] The other ship was different.

It's folly anyway. You're okay with the file? All that?

[sanctus_dei]

rough.

[That's the most sympathy you can get of this kid right now.]

when have i ever been okay with anything here? but i am running out of options. congratulations, you all got me to play along.

[omniavincit]

It could happen to you.

What do you mean, play along?

[sanctus_dei]

don't remind me. genetics have kicked me around enough as it is.

you know what i mean. the whole graduation thing. fine, i'm not getting out any other way, i get it. so fine, i'll play along.
