Hey, everybody. I'm turning... twenty one? Twenty two? Have we decided how we're counting that year in the Dreaming yet?

Anyway, I'm having a party at my place. Everybody's welcome. Even if you don't like me, I do have a lot of ice cream. Just putting that out there.

[Attached is his address in the Sky Sector, and the date and time.

Some Foreigners – specifically, Aya, Raine, Jackie, Bucky, Valdis, Danny, Sonja and Miles – will also receive individual texts, consisting of an ASCII art birthday cake, a smiley face, and a link to this video message. Cute.]

Happy 21.5 birthday, Tony! We'll split the difference.

I'm counting it as a full year, for the record.

Also for the record? Your ice cream's amazing; Pepper's been bringing some by whenever we hang out.

Happy birthday. I kind of...ignored mine. [When you're probably dead, there's no reason to count.]

Why are you inviting me specifically? I almost killed Pepper. Not exactly a reason to roll out the red carpet.

Whoa, how'd you do that? The cake - that's so cool!

And yeah, I'll definitely come. Happy birthday, man!

[He's gonna bring alcohol. As you do. Happy birthday, Tony, you get the good shit. And you don't even have to share.]

Aw, you're a baby.

[Gene's teasing - due to Keeliai shenanigans, he went from being a few months younger than Tony to nearly a year older. He's 22 now and will turn 23 in October.]

I'm practically cradle-robbing.

I'm not looking for a party, but I'd like to be informed if there's a decision how to count the years.

It's totally not fair that you and Gene are older than me than you're supposed to be.

[Because clearly that's the important thing here.]

Happy birthday, herset.

21? Cool! It almost like you're an adult now.

so late shhhhh

[ruinsprofessor]

Happy birthday, Tony.

[A small but genuine smile.]

For my own part, I count it, since we physically aged during that time, and experienced things in the Dreaming. Unless you'd prefer to be twenty-one?
