Sooo... hypothetical question: given that the space-time continuum is kinda lookin' the other way here, how do birthdays work? If you've spent a year in this dimension, but only a few minutes have passed back home, does that time count towards your actual age?

I've tended toward just keeping my actual birthday, especially as it's on my IDs. But for celebrations? You could always have a different sort of party on the arrival of your anniversary. Some people change their celebrated 'birthday' up for multiple reasons. No reason not to if it makes you more comfortable.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

It's a little weird because my actual birthday wasn't long after I showed up here, but back home it was a few months before. But you're right, any excuse for cake and funtimes is a good one, regardless of the actual date.

[helpdesk_hero]

Your friends won't care which you choose, provided they get to spend the time with you. I promise it.

private!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

thanks dude <3

god, I'm gonna be 21, I'll be able to get into an actual BAR

and have DRINKS

LEGALLY

I don't even know if I like bars yet, let alone beer, but OPTIONS ARE OPENING

yay private

[helpdesk_hero]

If you choose to go for more private, let me know. Can't bake to save my life but I can bartend with the best of them.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I will definitely hit you up for advice on what to try first!

[helpdesk_hero]

It will depend on what you like.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

is there anything... idk, hazelnutty??

[helpdesk_hero]

Frangelico is a hazelnut liqueur. You'll want any drink a bartender knows with that.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I am writing this stuff DOWN

thank you for your alcohol wisdom!

[helpdesk_hero]

It's not mine. It's Blob's.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Oh, does he do bartending? That's really cool, actually!

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah. He's got his own bar back home these days. He can really mix drinks.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Does that mean he's taken a break from the whole Brotherhood thing? Or am I thinking of a different guy?

[helpdesk_hero]

The Brotherhood is long since gone when I am. Which is great, because Frank makes AMAZING drinks.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Oh, that's fantastic! I love a good turnaround!

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't know that it's turnaround so much as finally finding a place of proper welcome.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Yeah, good point. I'm glad he's doing really well, then.

[helpdesk_hero]

He is. The Lagoon is basically the center of socializing where I live. The hawaiian print shirts are horrible though.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Dude, I am saying this with utmost sincerity:

you could ABSOLUTELY ROCK a hawaiian print shirt

[helpdesk_hero]

Nope. No. No WAY. Doreen surely you respect me more than that.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I do, I do! I just think big colourful prints would look really good!

[helpdesk_hero]

Surely on someone else. Please say on someone else.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Dude, I've SEEN you in yellow, I know you're not allergic to bright colours

but fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, you get a pass!

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm also not allergic to taste.

Thank you.
