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?

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.

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.

[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!!

[ he knows when his is! sort of. ]

YES, I HAVE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL FOUR SEASONS NOW.
HENCE IS WHY I'M ASKING THIS NOW.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS.
COMBINE IT WITH THE YEAR THAT I'VE JUST EXPERIENCED AND THAT MEANS I'M NOW CLOSER TO SEVEN SWEEPS.

[lucky him. sort of. and he's a little more serious now, so no cute faces.]

So sweeps and years aren't equal?

[please dont't get mad, karkat. ryoji has to think things through.]

NO, THEY'RE NOT.
A SOLAR SWEEP ON ALTERNIA IS ABOUT 2.2 HUMAN YEARS.

[fullmoonfortune]

Woah, that's a long time. You'd almost be 14 in our years!

I *AM* FOURTEEN IN EARTH YEARS.

Oh, sorry! Happy birthday, by the way, for whenever it is. Or was, I guess.

[text]

[usedshooshpap]

WHAT NOW?

[text]

[fullmoonfortune]

Happy wriggling day? Wow, that's a lot to type.

[text]

[usedshooshpap]

IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET?

[text]

[fullmoonfortune]

Happy early wriggling birthday???

[text]

[usedshooshpap]

I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHEN IT IS YET!

[text]

[fullmoonfortune]

Sorry! I was just trying to cover my bases, in case I miss it when it happens... whenever you decide. I don't know what day my birthday is either, but I don't think I could decide it like you can.

[text]

[usedshooshpap]

WHY NOT?

[text]

[fullmoonfortune]

I guess because... I wasn't really born?

[text]

[usedshooshpap]

SO WHAT...
YOU WERE HATCHED?

[text]

[fullmoonfortune]

It's a little more complicated than that.
