Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [06/22].

[howareyanow]

No kitchen utensils and pots and pans all up on the ceiling. No everything turning into pizza. No weird colored food or blue milk (save for the little bit kept around for those who were into that sport of thing). Just a nice, normal breakfast, the way God (and Wayne) intended.

And, fuck, it was nice to have a good, normal breakfast around here.

At least nice and normal for the time being, but, realleh, that was all anyone could hope for 'round here. So Wayne got to work, got to cooking, and got to getting the week going right.

[[ and open breakfast is open! ]]

"Just four weeks?" asked Wayne, with a thoughtful frown of his own.. "Just like that? So's a year where you're from's basically just a season here..."

How could they even get a proper amount of planting and growing done in a season that was about the same as a month?

[snowdroplace]

Well. Turnips only took four days to grow!

"It's very confusing," she confessed. "I was calling home every day, but they'd ask me why I was calling so many times in one day? So now I'm spacing them out but they think I'm only calling once a day..."

Elli took a seat on one of the couches.

"I'm not even sure when to put my birthday in this world's calendar," she confessed. "We don't really have months at all..."

[howareyanow]

Wayne would make so much bank on the produce stand in Elli's world...

"Well," he ventured, "mebbe we can figgur it ouwt. Like with the calls. When's ter birthday where you're from?"

[snowdroplace]

He really, really would. Farmers made so much money.

"It's Spring 16th," she offered.

[howareyanow]

"Oh, now that should be easy," Wayne reasoned. "Spring 16, just a bit past the middle, assuming your weeks are still seven days. Spring here runs March 19th to June 20th. That's 94 days. Half of that, 47 days'll get you to May 4th. Add mayve a few since the 16th of Spring is a little more'n half, really, and that'll put you anywhere between May 6th to May 10th, I'd say."

Elli could follow that but she couldn't do the math to see if his numbers lined up accurately in her head.

They sounded right to her?

"What about May 8th, then?" she suggested. "The middle of your suggested range?"

And according to MY paper math the actual day her birthday would be, following this logic...

[howareyanow]

"May 8th's a fine day," said Wayne, nodding. "Sorry we missed yer birthday, Elli."

[snowdroplace]

She laughed.

"I missed my own birthday!" she said. "I can't be sorry other people did the same!"

[howareyanow]

"Fair enough, " agreed Wayne, "but happy belated birthday, all the same."
