Since all of you people are here now, maybe you can help me. Birthday presents ideas for when you're stuck in a place that doesn't require money. Go.

[The doors to All Passions are wide open, and Shiki is bustling about dressing mannequins in Christmas sweaters. She's keeping an eye on the people that the Malnosso have ever-so-kindly dropped into their little village, so feel free to come up and say hi or troll bug her.]

You're aware that I'm still not Joshua, correct?

[so_shik]

Very, but you're a lot like him anyway.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

Duly noted. I fail to see how my age has anything to do with the towns I've heard of, anyway.

[so_shik]

They might be called something else in your time, or they haven't been created yet. There's a lot of reasons.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

... How old do you expect me to be?

[so_shik]

I think it depends on what year you were born in.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

So even if I told you a number, it would mean nothing?

[so_shik]

In this case, you'd have to help me out with two numbers.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

Kansei 12.

[ Which would make him 25. ]

[so_shik]

[Just. A blank stare because how is it possible for you to be here right now.]

...okay, so you're not even close to being Joshua. I get it.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

What were you expecting to hear?

[so_shik]

I'm not even sure.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

Then how would you know that wasn't right?

[so_shik]

It's just one of those things you know, okay?

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

Alright. Now how about you?

[so_shik]

What about me?

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

Age. Birth year. Take your pick.

[so_shik]

Depends if you're counting how old I was at home, or how old I am after being here for a while.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

... Does it matter much?

[so_shik]

There's a two year difference, so yeah.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

[ So, not at all. ]

Take your pick, then.

[so_shik]

I was fifteen in the year 2007.

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

...

[ Give him a moment. He's trying to figure out just how the hell an era lasts for 2007 years. ]

[so_shik]

...what's that look for?

[reap-you-twice.livejournal.com]

2007?
