Sup. Can't reply, so, y'know, do the message thing and if I don't hate you I'll probably text you or something.

No. Your birthday was always on the second. Theta's birthday is today, which is why I remembered.

[alphawho]

...Oh. Didn't know the little guy's birthday was--I mean obviously I didn't know his--

My birthday is November second?

[protective_logic]

Obviously you didn't know his. I'm sorry they took yours from you as well.

[alphawho]

...Uh. Yeah. I guess. Is there going to be a celebration for Theta?

[protective_logic]

It's in the park this evening. I warn you, there will be mercenaries. Florida, Texas, Maine, York.

[alphawho]

Well I sure hope Tex is gonna be there. And Florida kinda follows suit. And the boyfriends. Makes sense.

Wait, did Tex know? About the birth--her b--our. Our birthday?

[protective_logic]

Why wouldn't sh...

Oh.

[alphawho]

Yeah. You might have to, uh, explain it a second time.

[protective_logic]

Oh. I... I just thought...

[alphawho]

Do we, um- Are there like...birth certificates or something, like, official documentation, by any chance?

[protective_logic]

Yes. We have yours. Not Beta's... They... took those. I'm certain Florida could get copies.

[alphawho]

I think, uh. I think that'd be nice. Y'know, to have something official and like...not doctored or anything. Makes it more real, I guess.

[protective_logic]

We retain the original paperwork from when you... arrived I assume. All of us came with that. Your birthday was the second.

[alphawho]

Okay. ...Okay. Thank--

Wait, I just want to--I've got a pretty good idea how old I am, but, um, if I'm wrong, I'm gonna feel fucking stupid, so ummm... So how old am--how old am I supposed to be right now?

[protective_logic]

How old do you think you are?

[alphawho]

Not thirty. [He's adamant about this.] I'm thinking like...28?

[protective_logic]

Just turned 29.

[alphawho]

...Cool. So me and Tex are 29...Theta's 12... Okay. Um. Thank you. That's very helpful. I might have to borrow my certificate and...I guess get a few of my documents changed to uh. Reflect this.

[protective_logic]

Alright but... that may be an idea to hold off on for a little bit...

[alphawho]

Oh yeah? I mean I can stand to keep my papers as they are for a while or the rest of my life, just--I mean sure I should wait at least until Theta's had his day.

[protective_logic]

No, it's... Sigma got...

There is some family problems right now because of something that happened to Sigma. You don't want attached to the family name at the moment.

[alphawho]

...Jesus, the fuck happened to Sigma? And, y'know, if it's shit to do with the family, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be part of said family, so--I know your opinions on the matter, but--

Fuck, if I can help, I want to.

[protective_logic]

Turned out his friend... our friend 'Hunter' was a mercenary known as Felix. He kidnapped Sigma on their trip to Armonia. Forced him to certify as a mercenary. Branded his arm.

Told him he'd kill our family...

[alphawho]

Sssssssso! That means we take our various mercenary siblings, boyfriends, and friends, and hunt this shitfuck down and kill him first. I will fucking pay Tex myself if I have to.

Who the fuck makes someone cert as a merc? What the fuck is the point of that?

[protective_logic]

Sigma thinks he needs to be a merc now, so I'm trying to find a way to prove to him that he doesn't have to.

But... We got Sigma back at the cost of a close friend and important person to the family. Who had to stay behind. So I don't think hunting the man down is much of an option. Not in his territory. Even Florida seems to hesitate over the prospect.
