Hey, hey! Today is my "birthday"... I think? Or at least I'm pretty sure I remember that Tim guy saying it should be today.

[there's a long pause, and then...]

What is it that you're supposed to do on birthdays, again?

Comments

[tomodachi]

Yeah, I think I'll leave the food stuff to my friends.

What kind of presents should I get, though?

[forwearemany]

The answer to this is dependent on your preferences, and the resources of those giving gifts.

[tomodachi]

Oh.

... I hope it's treasure. Or books. Or something to draw with. Or...

[Crow could literally be here all day naming things he likes, because he isn't actually that picky.]

[forwearemany]

(You know what? They're just gonna silently let him continue on and take notes.)

[tomodachi]

[Thanks Legion, you're a pal.]

And maybe another scarf Quartermaster might like and... hey, actually, what kind of things do you like?

[forwearemany]

(The question catches them off guard, and all that can be heard is chattering.)

[tomodachi]

... What? Did I ask something weird?

[forwearemany]

Traditionally, it is your preferences that would take precedence.

[tomodachi]

My...?

... No, no, I don't mean for my birthday, I meant for like, later! If I find something that you would want.

[forwearemany]

This occurrence is unlikely.

[tomodachi]

Why's that?

[forwearemany]

The things we desire are unlikely to simply be found.

[tomodachi]

Oh yeah? What are they?

[forwearemany]

Videogames.

(You thought it was going to be something serious, didn't you?

Nah Legion is just a nerd.)

[tomodachi]

... What are "videogames"?

[forwearemany]

(...)

Videogame: A game played by manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor.

Technology on Enso is currently limited.

[tomodachi]

Aww man, that sounds cool. Think we can get the Storyteller to hook us up with that here somehow?

[forwearemany]

Uncertain. We judge it unlikely.
