So I've been keeping track since Christmas, yeah? Keeping an eye on the calendar.

And... well. It's the second of Febuary. If anyone's interested, that's my birthday.

So I suppose that makes me eighteen, weird time loops aside. Yeah, that's right, I'm officially grown-up now. Aren't I the special one?

[Sits back in his chair, folding his hands behind ( Read more... )

happy birthday to me, quiet, dear sheol, now for something completely different

Well, happy birthday, then!

...And what is February?

Um. It's a month?

Sorry, have we met?

We haven't. I just thought I'd chime in with the congratulations.

I'm new around here... Tylendel Frelennye. You?

Padraic Pearson. I've been here a few months.

You're new too? There seem to be a lot of newcomers lately... I wonder why.

...Given what this place is, that doesn't sound good, does it?

I don't know... I mean, people die all the time, and they obviously don't all come here, and there are definitely worse places to be.

Maybe so. I can't say I've ever experienced any, myself!

...I have.

[Clears his throat. HE WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS]

So... Tylendel, right? That's not an English name, is it? Where're you from?

I'm not sure where English names would come from, so no, it's not. I'm from Valdemar.

What about you, Padraic?

I'm from Ireland. Derry.

Valdemar... [Now, why does that sound familiar?]

...oh, right, that's where Vanyel comes from, isn't it?

[THINKY THOUGHTS]

...wait a sec. I mean, bear with me - I'm just thinking out loud - but when I met Vanyel, he looked like my Ma did after Da got arrested, like he was missing someone all the time. I mean, really missing them. But I talked to him again a few minutes ago, and he sounded fine. Looked fine, too. Wouldn't happen to be anything to do with you, would it?

Same place as Vanyel, yes.

[He hesitates, guilt clenching his gut at the reminder of what he'd done to Van with his death. Did just being here make up for it all? ...No. He'll have to work a bit harder than that.]

[And none of this is fit for talking about to a stranger - not that he'd say it to Van, either.]

It may be.

Well, if it was, well done. He seemed like a good guy - it was a shame to leave him with a face like a wet Wednesday.
