[ For science, huh... Sure, buddy. ]

no one else knows when our birthdays are because theyre all different for some reason
not like akechi
so i guess you just say its your birthday and then have a party
what science are you doing?

[youngestdawn]

science of why Ihaven't lost a tooth since coming here!
and science of being a good gift-giver

[willowandoak]

huh.
i dont know about the first one but if your mouth doesnt hurt its probably fine
will it be easier to do gift science if you give people gifts, or if you compare gifts that people give you?

[youngestdawn]

it is not fine! I want to grow instead of being 5 forever!

[willowandoak]

you wont be 5 forever
ill talk to igor about it if i have to
igor owes me an age-related favor

[ And he had better pay up, the long-nosed motherfucker, or else. ]

[youngestdawn]

If growing up means I get Nose-sama's long nose then I don't wanna grow actually...(´;︵;`)

[willowandoak]

[ He laughs to himself as he responds. ]

youre right, that would suck
you wont look like igor though. youll look like that ren whos ravens age
then later youll look like me
then later youll look like my senpai
the guy who carries you on his shoulders

[youngestdawn]

are you Sure he won't try to Wizard me into having a long nose??

[willowandoak]

yep
the long nose is just an igor thing

[ He's almost sure that this is true. But he's definitely sure that if Igor messes with the tiny kids, he'll have a full-fledged mutiny on his hands. ]

Raven and I calculated based on the day we arrived in this world's calendar versus the day we left our homes.

But that's just our personal approach. Technically speaking, you could simply pick your favorite day to celebrate on, and no one could really stop you.

[youngestdawn]

time math...
☆⌒(>。<)

[fogbornphantom]

It's rather complex math, isn't it?

If you'd like, we could simply pick a day for you. It's been around a year regardless.

[youngestdawn]

it has to be on my birthday! the date is very special!
and secret

[fogbornphantom]

Too secret to tell us so we can celebrate with you?

[youngestdawn]

No more questions Mr. Nosy Rock

[fogbornphantom]

You know, it'd be quite interesting to find a rock shaped like a nose.

Or even Igor's head.

Or perhaps something more interesting, like a triceratops, which has a horn on its nose.

[youngestdawn]

triceratops' name comes from words meaning "three horn"!

[fogbornphantom]

That's quite true, and a stark contrast to the hornless protoceratops.

[youngestdawn]

please. I forgot my manner

[pancakeboy]

You tell us when your birthday is, and then I presume Raven will throw you a party.

You can compare gifts on a scale of 1 to 10. For science, you understand.

[youngestdawn]

all the gift I have ever gotten?
you are 8 then

[pancakeboy]

Eight isn't bad. Any advice on how to make up the last two points?

[Listen, that was an outstanding dinosaur toy.]

[youngestdawn]

Huh...I don't know!
Sorry

[pancakeboy]

Then I'll just have to work harder.

What would you want for your birthday? In theory. If we knew when it was.

[youngestdawn]

Uh. Dunno! Cool things!

[pancakeboy]

Here's an easier question, then. Would you like something with dinosaurs, or something else?

[He is aware of the House Full Of Dinosaurs problem, though he's never experienced it himself.]

[youngestdawn]

Uh. I have so many dinosaurs...

[pancakeboy]

So, something else. I understand. I'm sure I can come up with something better.

[A telescope is the thing that immediately springs to mind. Might as well take advantage of all those stars in Inaba.]

[herewardbound]

my birthday's june 2nd, i cannot be arsed bothered to keep track of the time jumps

[youngestdawn]

do demonbird have birthdays?

[herewardbound]

Oh, absolutely.

You ever get the chance to become one, don't you let anybody talk you out of birthday parties. They're very important.

[youngestdawn]

I'm not stupid

[herewardbound]

Of course you aren't. I'm being genuine. I wasn't always like this. In fact, I was born human, just like you.

I might have been joking a little about you becoming one. It was a fairly unique series of events, but it did very much happen.

[youngestdawn]

How bad are demon birthdays, then?

[herewardbound]

I'd imagine it would depend on how much the people around you cared about you, and how old you were.

But my brother had a birthday party and it was pretty nice, actually.

[youngestdawn]

Brother?

Aki-chan is now imagining a Phoenix, but twice as big.

[herewardbound]

Yeah. We were just friends, originally, but we were both adopted by the same people, so that makes us brothers.

[youngestdawn]

does that mean that Hawk-kun and I are brothers?

[herewardbound]

family is about more than just people who're related to you.

If there's the same kind of love there, then there's no reason you couldn't be.
