[LOOK WHO'S OUT OF THE CLINIC AT LONG LAST]

Hey, so guys? I totally do not recommend eating wild berries. Tasty though they look, gentle on your stomach they are not. Oh, man. It was like being on the test team program all over again. Ship going backward sand forwards, up and down, side to si--

[He goes a little green and cups his mouth. When he speaks again he sounds strained.] Alright, okay, cool. So enough of that. That is officially all of that that's gonna happen.

So, yeah. No berries. Bad plan. Don't do it.

PIDGE PLEASE DON'T EXPERIMENT ON ME.

MY PARTS ALL WORK BETTER ON THE INSIDE.

[pidge_out]

[Well now she's just grinning evilly]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

LOOK, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?!

I PROMISE I CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO CUT ME
OPEN.

IF IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M YELLING I SWEAR IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY INTERNAL ORGANS RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE DON'T DISSECT ME AND PUT ME INTO JARS.

[pidge_out]

[Gosh, that glint in her eye just doesn't seem to be going away!]

Wait, what was that? I- I can barely hear you anymore, you're br--

[And the feed ends midsentence. :D]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I'm never sleeping again.

[shiro2hero]

She's not experimenting on anyone.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I AM STRANGELY UNCONVINCED.

[shiro2hero]

Pidge is a technician, robotics, electronics and computer expert, Darin.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIKE TO BROADEN THEIR SKILLSET, SHIRO.

[shiro2hero]

I know Pidge.

She doesn't do human experimentation. She's doing this to get under your skin.

[im_a_leg]

Wouldn't that ... technically be human experimentation?

[shiro2hero]

Hunk.

You're not helping.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[GESTURING WILDLY AT WHAT HUNK SAID. AND ALL OF THIS.]

[shiro2hero]

Why would I lie to you about this?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yes, let's talk about trust.

Starting with the fact you blabbed about my birthday.

[shiro2hero]

I didn't tell her when.

Just that we missed it.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

That's basically the same thing!

[shiro2hero]

How is that the same thing?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Telling her that it was missed implies that it recently came up. Which would mean I celebrated it without telling you guys which is what I did.

From that, it's easy to infer that the birthday was recent if it came up in a conversation.

Ergo, that's like telling her outright that my birthday is the Tenth Day of Credo's Wane.

[shiro2hero]

Or... it could have been months ago? Like the others' were?

...

And no one know what day that is, man. Different worlds, remember?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Sixth month out of the stellar cycle. Every two months is named after a Celestial Hero:

There's Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and Domino. That's a full year. First half of the bi-monthly cycle is always Rise and the second is Wane.

Make sense?

[shiro2hero]

[Of course it makes sense. Space and planet cycles always made sense. But --]

You know you just admitted that in public. Where one of the most brilliant people I've ever met can read it.

And figure out where we fall on your calendar.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

She probably figured it out anyway since you told her in the first place. Why hide it at this point?

So where does your invisible birthday fall on my calendar?

[shiro2hero]

I didn't tell her when it was.

No clue.
