I realize that many people are distressed by this curse and I'm very sorry for that, but I have a question: are eighteenth birthdays of any special significance where you are from? At home, eighteen is the age at which someone is considered an adult. It is also the minimum drinking age in many places, as well as the minimum age for a variety of activities that I have been told about but would rather not repeat here.

Are birthdays celebrated here? We age, I know that, but it seems greedy to celebrate a birthday here only to celebrate it again after we have left.

I am afraid that I will be of no use to you in your experiments and studies until next month. I'm sorry.

[Private Message to Delacroix & Pepper Potts]
Apologies, but I will be unable to come to work at City Solutions until the fifteenth of October. I can offer an excuse if you would like it.

[Private Message to Charlie]
This is a strange question, maybe, but does your tea shop accept temporary employees?

[ooc: Yes, he is cursed. No, he does not want to share. Most importantly, tomorrow is his eighteenth birthday. There's also this deity trade thing that happened, but he would rather not talk about that, either. Or Howl. Or...]

A month?

[...But. Who else will be competent for her.]

Yes. Why?

Sorry Delacroix, but I will not be useful for nearly a month. It would be wasteful for me to come in.

I may require a temporary job.

I am not sure where else to look.

What have you done.

Something stupid. My negotiating skills are poor.

Clearly. Perhaps you should have allowed someone to assist you in haggling.

Come in tomorrow. I'll be there from noon til about ten.

That would have been wise but I doubt the deities allow for it.

Thank you, Charlie.

You're welcome. See you tomorrow.

Of course.

Are you okay today? You seemed okay in your post but I would listen if you are not.

I'm annoyed and will probably be setting fire to the shirt once I can take it off, but I'm not as mad as I probably could be at this curse.

Granted, I probably won't sleep all that well because of flashbacks, but I'm used to that.

Most of the shirts would be better off on fire.

If you are awake late and wish to talk, I don't think I will be sleeping much either.

I think the whole City needs to get together at midnight, throw all the shirts in a pile and let me at them. It'd be fun.

Where I come from, there wasn't a minimum drinking age. Not until they outlawed all booze, anyway.

[A pause.]

But yeah, eighteen is significant. You can enlist in the military at eighteen.

I would not be against that.

Why would all of it be outlawed?

[A sound that's not quite a scoff or a laugh.]

I am already enlisted, but Starfleet is unlike what most people mean when they say "military."

Because the government is fulla shit, that's why.

What the hell's Starfleet?

There's nothing wrong with more than one celebration. Especially when you apparently won't remember the first one.

Birthday's are really important! Is yours coming up soon?

[Because if it is, then Rapunzel will make sure that it is special. She'll bake you a cake that looks like a fish.]

Eighteenth birthdays are totally important, Pavel. We have to celebrate.

Ah.

[Chekov has yet to meet a government that he isn't particularly fond of, but he's not about to argue.]

I think it is most like the navy, although, in theory, it is meant to keep peace and not fight. Also, it's in space.

Maybe so, but what is the best way to celebrate?

Yes, tomorrow.

I will also begin working at the tea shop tomorrow. It will be a an important day.
