[...How to make this not sound like he was being a stalker. How to...

...Well. He never cared too much about looking like a stalker anyway.]

One of your friends informed me.

[...After he kind of...intimidated them by existing. Especially after Daichi's birthday passed and he was a bit curious as to when their birthdays were...save for Yamato's, because he already knew his. And it didn't end well.]

[ No worries, AO, he already knows you're a stalker. ]

Hmm~ I'm guessing that's Daichi. （＾＾）

[ Since that's the most logical conclusion and all. And speaking of birthdays, there's something that he's been wondering about, and now's a good time to ask as any! ]

So when's your birthday anyway? Gotta return the favor! （＾ω＾）

[Daichi is too easy to intimidate, sometimes. But he'll leave that to interpretation.]

My own date of birth?

[There's a rather long pause as he tries to reach into his memory to grasp at a single bit of information he wasn't even sure of 4.54 billion+ years ago (not to mention that he was around before you humans came up with a calendar system)...

...no dice.]

I've completely forgotten, and it would be difficult for me to translate it into terms of human time.

Edited 2012-12-18 03:47 (UTC)

I so should have seen that coming. （￣□￣；）

[ Of course AO wouldn't give a straight answer to that... ]

Does that mean you don't celebrate your birthday? (￣◇￣;)

[ He's...already guessing what the answer is, but he might as well ask. ]

Yes. I cannot celebrate what I cannot recall. Furthermore, celebrations are human customs.

[And if you knew what he really was, would you want to celebrate the day of his birth/awakening in Polaris' consciousness? Probably not.]

But celebrations are pretty fun! And we should totally celebrate your birthday some time. (☆^ー^☆)

[...That...didn't sound like a bad idea. Human celebrations were nice...it did the heart good to see everyone festive and enjoying themselves. But...he still can't remember his birthday!]

The problem remains, Shining One. I do not recall my date of birth.

[He's that much of an old man.]

Then you can just choose one, Gramps! (´ω｀★)

[ While that's typed jokingly, he's entirely serious about the choosing part. Because really, why not? ]

Choose one?

[Hahaha...asking him to choose. Of course, choosing was as easy as breathing to the Shining One. Well, it was a strange thought...and he didn't really have any particular days in mind.]

I hadn't thought that such a significant date could be so easily decided by one's self.

Well, you did say you couldn't remember! And acknowledging and celebrating a significant event like a birthday is more important than the date itself, I think. (｀・ω・´)

[...Human celebrations were so strange.]

I see. So that is how your culture has developed so. Fascinating.

Admittedly, in terms of human time, I'm afraid don't have a specific date in mind.

[...January 1st? New year's? Those who couldn't see him were said to pass away by the year's end...it'd be like a "congratulations for surviving" thing. Or something.]

You don't need to come up with one right away! But do tell me when you decide, okay? (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

[...Yeah, he's thinking January 1st. Makes things easier on him. No need to remember too specific of a date, and it could be said that the day he awakened was the beginning of the creation of Earth, and its calendar system...and it'd be a slightly morbid thing, given the mythology surrounding him.

~~...shame about not matching up to Ophiuchus though.~~ This will have to take a bit more thought, and you know how indecisive he can be at times.]

All right. I shall ponder this matter some more. Thank you Shining One, for enlightening me.

[Because he's never gotten an opportunity to choose something like this for himself before...it means quite a bit to him.]

No prob! I'll be looking forward to it! (ゝω・)ノシ

[ He'll have a calendar ready to write his answer down when that time comes, that's for sure. ]

[Ah...he almost forgot to say what he was going to say at the start.]

I would like to thank you for being born as well.

(´ー`)

[See? He even used an emoticon like you taught him...! He felt that this one most accurately represented his facial expression at the moment.]

Thank you! I'm glad you're here too. ♩ヽ(・ω・ヽ*)♬

[ He's so trying not to laugh upon seeing the emoticon. Sure, he's the one who taught him about them, but still, it's pretty funny to see in action. (As for what AO's saying, he's so used to that sort of talk that it barely registers as something eyebrow-raising at this point...) ]

And yes, that's how you use emoticons! (❁´◡`❁)*✲ﾟ*

I'm glad to hear that.

[To both things, that is. Nobody ever really told him something like that before...! Warm fuzzy feelings. And he's glad that he's getting the hang of this 'emoticon' thing.]

They are more useful in conveying expression through text than I had expected. Communication involves both the body and the tongue itself...given the medium, it is a suitable substitute for the former, I suppose.

[Though his Tico(s) are better...but much more time-consuming to program/execute, obviously.]
