So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

Of what?

[longestdream]

I'm guessing year.

[notallmiracles]

1,962 years?

[longestdream]

... Kind of? I mean, yeah, but maybe not in the way you think. Like a date. A when he's from.

[notallmiracles]

Oh, mm. I think I get it.

[longestdream]

Ancient history where I come from.

[mind_over_metal]

The date. It was the year 1962 up until much less than forty-nine years ago for me.

[notallmiracles]

Then what's the date here?

[mind_over_metal]

2011, apparently.

You're from somewhere with an entirely different calendar, I take it?

[notallmiracles]

I think so.

Even though I've been here for a while, I'm still not sure where "here" is.

No one really seems to be, not exactly. Even those who are familiar with this planet and this country can't quite pin it down.
