Dear diary that is shared with many others,

I have either truly died or gone insane. There are no castles in Alaska.

[ And this is dictated: ]

What is the year?

[ That is really her only question, rofl. Strikes are only barely readable. ]

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

I don't think this place actually has a year. It's August, though. If that helps.

[hvic]

That doesn't help at all.

[ Her voice is incredibly snippy and impatient. ]

[huffythedragon]

[Hooo boy, another grumpy one]

Well, if you really want helpful stuff you can read your journal, you'll get the same answer, though.

[hvic]

You're wasting my time.

[ She is not happy at all. ]

[ Kanaya takes a little while before replying. She's trying to read what was written, but obviously isn't successful. :|

Finally: ]

Are you new to the castle?

dictated;

[hvic]

I am.

Now, what year is it? [ How dare you answer her question with another question. ]

dictated;

[rainbowed]

[ Ew, rude. ]

It appeared to me that you received your answer already. Welcome, though.

dictated;

[hvic]

That is not an answer. I do not care about the month, I want the year.

dictated~

[lisareisert]

I wish I knew the answer to that. I'm pretty new here myself and it's all a little too confusing for me at the moment.

[There's a pause before she speaks up again] ...But if you find out, could you let me know? Not that it would do much use I imagine.

dictated~~

[hvic]

It should be common knowledge. It isn't hard to look at a calendar.

dictated~

[lisareisert]

You would think so, wouldn't you? The thing is ever since I got here I haven't seen one calendar. I guess time's not exactly that important around here.

dictated~

[hvic]

I'm already beginning to dislike this place.

dictated;

[madetosin]

[boredly] If there is anything resembling a calendar here, I've yet to see one.

dictated;

[hvic]

You people are idiots. Are you even aware of what a calendar is? I find it hard to believe that a castle of this size is missing one with all of these-- extravagances around. [ She isn't sorry. ]

dictated;

[madetosin]

[And she's under the mistaken impression he gives a crap]

It doesn't matter. You are not where or when you left from. The date is irrelevant. And if this world had a calendar, I'd imagine it wouldn't mean anything to you.

dictated;

[hvic]

[ kanyeshrug ]

If you have nothing of value to contribute, why bother replying?

[heloise]

If this place keeps no calendar, and I come from the year 1493 while my friend comes from 2012, which year would it be?

[hvic]

[ Fuck riddles. ]

That's irrelevant. There is only one year to come from. Time travel does not exist.

[heloise]

Even disbelief cannot harm what is true.

Written.

[jimfromit]

The concept doesn't exist here...sorry thank you for playing.

Although you do get a gold star for having the most original introduction entry ever. Bravo on that.

dictated

[hvic]

Who is this?

[jimfromit]

Somebody watching out for those who stand out from a crowd.

[psych0p0mps]

[skims other comments... dis one sassy bitch. :|a but there is one answer she knows of that hasn't been offered yet]

by current reckoning the year here is 6
but paradisas timeline doesnt line up with that of earth or any other planet
so youll find asking what year it is on earth to be kind of pointless

dictated;

[hvic]

[ Finally something useful! But it ... doesn't help her at all. ]

I see. Thank you for answering me nonetheless.

Re: dictated;

[psych0p0mps]

[... oh well okay. a polite answer is good!]

youre welcome
aaand as long as im here and on a somewhat topical note
i should also point out that time travel is very much a thing that is real
in case there was any lingering doubt about that

[because sometimes you just have to set the record straight.]
