So, it turns out that something hilarious can happen here if you decide to celebrate your birthday here based on "how long you've been alive" instead of just what the calendar date says because the month was different back home when you first got pulled into a different world.

So yep, forgot my eighteenth birthday was on Monday. Which is dumb, because I remembered last year's, but apparently I put the reminder on this thing wrong and it didn't repeat it this year.

But anyway, enough about me being dumb about my birthday, being here for two of them made me think of something.

Just how many of us who are here have actually been here for over a year? I mean, I know there's some of us, but I don't think many of us have mentioned it before.

And... well... is anyone else here not sure what they'd do if they were given a choice about going home, instead of just vanishing and showing up back there?


[She meant that last question more for those of them who have been here a while, but really there's no reason to limit it to just them. There's probably plenty of reasons that someone who just got here would want to stay rather than go home, after all. ]

Happy belated birthday!

Last month was one year here for me, time flies fast I guess.

Yeah, seriously not sure what I'd do in a complicated situation like that.

I can't speak about being here a year, but I can talk about having a choice to stay or go.

If I had a choice I'd stay, because going home is a bit of a losing situation for me.

I haven't been here more than a year, but now that you mention it, I'm pretty close! I got here in August, which I think is next month now.

And, um...well, I know what my choice would be, I think, but my circumstances are kind of unusual. I know exactly what I'd be going back to, so...it's not really that much of a choice at all.

Hi hi~! I've been here over a year!
I'm not sure what I would do either! There's pros and cons to both being back in my world and here, but I think right now I'm very okay with being here!

I've been here for over a year and my answer is easy: I would go home.

But only under the circumstances that I, along with anyone else who wants to make the choice to go home gets to keep our memories.

After a year and some change I dunno anymore

I was someplace else other than home before I came here, and now I'm not even sure if my home is still the same home I left behind!

But it'd be nice to see everyone again I guess.


[A conspicuous, somewhat awkward pause.]

Have you been okay?

I'm at about 10 months, myself.

If I was given the choice to go back to my world, I think I would be more likely to instead request that the people there be brought here. But then you broach the subject of bringing people against their own will, that kind of thing.

Overall an odd situation.

Happy belated birthday Videl!

It's a bit strange to think that in less than a week's time I'll have been here for exactly one year. It'll also be a year since we first met as well!

And, while I can understand why while some would be reluctant to leave here, or not leave at all, I believe I would still choose to go home. I've met a lot of incredible friends here but I have family back home that I want to get back to some day.

Ah jeez, I missed your birthday? And your eighteenth, too! Sorry, Videl, it completely slipped my mind.

As for your questions, well, you know how long I've been here. Going home... well, I still really want to, but I'd hate to lose the memories I've made here if I do, now.

Happy belated birthday, Videl.

[ Forgetting the point of the post, Cloud? No. Just trying not to think about it. ]

Huh... I never thought about that. How the change in what day or month it is can mess up celebrating someone's actual birthday.

Happy belated birthday! [Only in a situation like this could he ever get away with somehow not remembering her birthday, most likely...]

And well, I don't know if I could decide, really. About going back home or staying if given a choice.
