[What's up, Lunatia. It's your Texan scientist boy back at it again. He's in his engineering workshop, drinking a Lunatian beer. He's also got a new prosthetic hand. In fact - there's several robotic hands of all kinds of shapes and sizes hanging off the wall behind him. Neat.]

Y'think... hypothetically, birthdays still count 'round here? In a time-space alternate dimension sorta way.

Like if I had a birthday here - again, hypothetically - would that still count as gettin' a year older back home, too?

[He takes another pull from his beer... then shrugs.]

Reckon I'd have to run the numbers.

[ftr this is post is mostly an excuse to not-so-subtly hint that my made-up birthday for Engie is this month]

Timeclones?

[Engie's assuming he means like... future selves or something like that. But he could be wrong - so he asks.]

Welp. It ain't the first cataclysmic quantum event someone may-or-may-not have caused on-accidentaly-or-on-purpose.

[Hang on - more beer. He sighs.]

The nineteenth.

[itsknighttime]

ill draw up some invitations if you want

[[Don't let him do that.]]

[spah]

Christ, kid. No invitations.

[Despite the cussing, it's all in good humor. Don't worry. He's laughing.]

I appreciate the thought, I just wanna keep things simple. I'll do some grillin', and anyone who wants some is welcome. That's good for me.

[itsknighttime]

[[Good, he'd rather hear someone laughing in at least bemusement than actually annoy someone he likes.]]

ah man kid huh?
no ones called me that in a longass time
but alright no invitations i can do that too

what do i even bring to this sorta thing?
other than questions posed in sick verse

[spah]

I'm at least 20 years older than you. You've earned the title.

[of "kid"]

Ahh, just bring yourself. It'll be a good opportunity for me to show off on a grill.

[itsknighttime]
