R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say our 12-month calendar doesn't match whatever you guys used in space.

[ Hey there pal. ]

[machrophage]

[Hi Hank.]

We only rediscovered space travel a week before I got here, Hank.

[A WEEK. A VERY EVENTFUL WEEK.]

[donotlick]

Jesus fuck. Seven years and that happened in a week? You guys move fast.

[ Lord........ ]

Well, if you wanna pick a day, go for it. You know what birthdays are, right?

[machrophage]

I did say 'rediscovered' - there was a ship hidden underground.

[BUT YEAH GURREN LAGANN MOVES FAST.]

It's not something we ever kept track of. I know that it was spring last I was there, but...

[He frowns at the calendar again.]

[donotlick]

Christ.

[ Hank just. Blinks at that. Okay. Sure... ]

Yeah, it was winter for me and now we're back in Fall, so I don't blame you for being confused.

[ Hank shrugs, though he very helpfully points at the calendar. ]

Basically these months are the winter ones, then about every 3 the season changes. So Winter's kind of late-November through February, Spring is March through May, Summer's June through August and Fall is September though November. Kinda like that.

[Simon and Nia got married! There were cherry blossoms! It was very happy and then very, very sad.]

Hmm. When's the equinox? In autumn.

[That's a useful point of reference.]

[donotlick]

[ God, don't remind me, I had almost blocked it out....... ]

Uhh, September 22nd, I think. It wasn't too long ago for me.

[ I looked it up, that's the date for the 2038 equinox and just so happens to be the same as ours, nice. ]

[machrophage]

Then that day should be about -

[He jabs a finger, almost blindly, into the middle of October, leaving a small scratch in the paper on the 18th.]

Close enough.

[donotlick]

[ There you go, buddy. You did it. ]

Yeah, alright. That looks good.

[ Hank pats Viral on the back. ]

Your own birthday like the rest of us. How 'bout that?

[machrophage]

More of a rebirth-day, but it may as well be.

[You think he remembers the fuck out of his first birthday? naaaaw.]

[donotlick]

Hey, that counts too.

[ He pauses, mumbling to himself. ]

Wonder if Connor'll want his issue date, or the day he went deviant...

[machrophage]

[Sadly, Hank, someone here has better than average ears.]

Only way to find out is to ask, isn't it?

[donotlick]

Hah, good point. Guess I should.

[ He shrugs. Maybe he will ask. ]

You know, you and him have a lot in common.
