HEY SHITLICKERS, EYES OVER HERE FOR ABOUT TWO SECONDS.
I HAVE SOMETHING OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ASK ABOUT.
I'LL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE.
FIRST, REST ASSURED THAT I AM STILL FINE, GODDAMMIT.
WHERE ALL THIS CONCERN CAME FROM, IN REGARDS TO MY LAST RECORDING, I HAVE NO CLUE
BUT DON'T GET YOUR HORNS ALL LOCKED UP AND TWISTED OVER IT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK OR ANYTHING, HOLY SHIT.
SECOND, I AM DONE WITH THE GYM CHALLENGE HERE IN JOHTO.
KANTO IS NEXT ON THE LIST SINCE I *WILL* GET ALL SIXTEEN FUCKING BADGES AND NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP ME.
FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:
WHEN IS THE NEXT EQUINOX?

Are you really asking why people were worried?

[Sry, can't answer when the equinox is. What's an equinox anyway?]

the next equinox would be...first day of fall, right?
i thiiiiink that's some time in september.
if i remember correctly.
it's been a while since i have actually looked at a paper calendar.

September 22nd! ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ That's the autumnal equinox, if I remember correctly. Is someone's birthday then?

Don't answer the Gear while at work, dumbass.

JUST HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW, EGBERT?
I MEAN YES, IT IS WHEN DAY AND NIGHT ARE IN EQUAL PROPORTIONS
BUT THE SEASON "FALL" DOESN'T REALLY HELP ME HERE.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
WE DON'T TELL TIME BY THE SUN LIKE HUMANS DO, SINCE WE'RE ORIGINALLY NOCTURNAL.

I'm on break. So what's this stupid question for?

Oh, I see. (`･ω･´)ゞ You can usually tell the day best because the hours are even! 12 hours of sunlight and 12 of nighttime. Keep an eye on the clock!

THAT'S NOT...
FUCK!
LOOK, I'M LOOKING FOR WHAT THE EARTH EQUIVALENT WOULD BE FOR *MY* WRIGGLING DAY.
IT'S IN THE SIXTH DARK SEASON, BUT YOU SHIT HEADS DON'T HAVE THAT.
YOUR CALENDAR ALSO GOES BY THE SUN, NOT THE MOON
SO I CAN'T REALLY SAY "OH IT'S THE TWELFTH PERIGEE" EITHER!
WHICH MEANS ALL I CAN GO BY IS THE EQUINOX.

What stupid question? There are no stupid questions here.

Complaining about people being worried. [ROLLING HIS EYES OVER HERE... though on looking back at the post, he's seeing he misunderstood which part was the "question".]

Not stupid then I guess, what's an equinox?

Because it IS dumb for anyone to worry over something as shitty as a memory coma or whatever the fuck people want to call it.

[ rubbing at his temples here. ]

An equinox is when day and night both last the same amount of time.

Shut up. I worried. [Gonna get a punch in the shoulder for making him say it over the phone.]

That doesn't sound like it happens often. Did anyone answer when it is? Why do you need to know?

I passed out in the fucking Ice Path. That might be more of a legitimate reason...

ANYWAY! I wanted to know because my wriggling day is on an equinox. More specifically it's the twelfth bilunar perigee of the sixth dark season's equinox. That doesn't translate well.

Mm. It may have been because I asked advice on how to keep you from dehydrating while we were still in the cave. [So all those worried calls, yup-]

Wriggling day? [There's just a beat before he realizes what it means.] Birth day. No, it doesn't sound like it translates well. So you will just count it on the equinox?

oh. right.
well i think that's it, in any case.
i want to say it's somewhere more in the middle of the month.
like the 20somethingth.

[ hold on.... ]

You did WHAT?

Shut up. I didn't know what to do. [Translation: I panicked.]

...Oh my god.

[UGHHH.]

[WOW COOL IT, KARKAT. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HIS BIRTHDAY IS EITHER, OKAY.]

(ｏ・u・)ノ”(ノ_＜。) I see! That's quite the dilemma. There's an equinox in spring, on March 20th, and one in fall, on September 22nd. The solstices are June 21st and December 21st. Does that help any?? (ｏ・u・)ノ”(ノ_＜。) We have four seasons though, not six or twelve or anything like that, but the sixth month is June!!

Edited ((ｏ・u・)ノ”(ノ_＜。)!!!!) 2012-06-26 01:48 (UTC)

You can be a derp too, huh?

No. [Flat out refusing to call that a 'derp move'.]

GREAT.
YOU'RE WAYS OF TELLING TIME ARE JUST SO COMPLICATED.

That was a huge fucking derp moment, Vani.
