028. [dictated + written]

[drums his fingers his table, open journal in front of him. He's just noticed the date and well... there's a couple things on his mind. It feels a little awkward to ask though...]

Soooooooooo...

[...well, no stopping now]

Is the norm here to, y'know... still count birthdays?

Like I know that nobody ages and all. So should someone even bother? Is it common for people to count it anyway? I guess it don't matter much when you're an adult and you age so much slower anyway but still...

[pauses-- then adds]

N-Not that it's my birthday or anything. [it's not... for another week and a half] I'm just wondering if there's even a point in saying I'm a year older when it does come around, you know?

Not to mention... well, I'm sure the ladies understand this part, and maybe some of the fellas; none of you really want to get that much closer to the big three-oh, right? ...Or, uh, the big four-oh, I guess? In some cases?

Not that I'm going to be 30 or anything! [he's not... for another year] But it's just a thought!

[this next part is DOUBLE the awkward, so he's going to switch over to writing on a new page...]

out of curiosity what use would a former detective/police officer be in a place like this

Happy not-birthday, Adachi. I'll bring you some coffee, even though you're not my superior anymore.

Ah-

I-I just said it's not my birthday! You don't have to do anything like that! [FLYNN WHAT ARE YOU DOING]

And I just said it's not your birthday too. And I don't mind.

[oh, thirty ... how precious]

I don't know, man. I think some people celebrate just to have something to do.

I guess that's reasonable...

What if you're not one for celebrations though?

Then you do the same thing you'd do back home. Don't tell anybody when your birthday is.

Yeah! I was surprised too, when I found out! But it's true. A little girl I knew back home has been here for like 2 years by now, maybe? But she doesn't look a day older than 6, even though she should be 8 or 9 or something! Not a single centimeter taller!

But celebrating is the best part of birthdays. [ Spoilers: she hasn't celebrated any of hers with friends since she came. ]

[ dat filter ]

Use? Like helping others?

Ehhh, I've never been one for celebrating. Not since I was a small child.

[filter]

When you get an answer to that question, let me know.

will do!

[staring curiously at that filter but not bringing it up. he's more-so amused by the birthday talk though. gosh, work on your lying skills a little adachi. barnaby reads you like a book]

I believe it depends on what your feelings are on the matter. Personally I don't see the need in celebrating a birthday that doesn't exactly count but not everyone feels the same way.

[JOKE'S ON YOU BARNABY HE'S NOT LYING AT ALL HA HA.

THAT MAKES IT THE BEST LIE- wait.]

You have a point. To be honest, I'm not really sure how I feel about it myself yet. Birthdays don't really matter much to me in the first place; they're just another day. There's less reason to celebrate the older you get.

...But I still always kept track of my age. But if there's even no point to that now...

You don't have to...I think so anyway.

I didn't, if it helps you feel any better about it.

Did it feel a little weird? When you didn't count it, I mean.

I guess it's up to them if they want to celebrate it...

Yeah, I guess so...

It's probably pointless to count it considering it doesn't matter much here.

Yeah, probably.

But it still feels a little weird though.

There's need of law enforcement around here.

[Pause.] And I don't see any reason not to celebrate birthdays.

there isnt really a lot here is there [which makes him realize his question was kinda dumb- of course they needed these things- but what can you do. He was still pretty nervous]

i mean the peace patrol isnt really law enforcement is it

[the second part makes him pause too, before audibly the journal picks up:] Hmm...
