I guess I signed up for a reward card for Thot Topic at some point but I got a birthday email wishing me a happy "95th" birthday.

Jokes on me for using my actual birth date I guess. It's not even for another two weeks. Does that mean I get to use the coupon early?

Happy 95th! Y'don't sound a day over twelve.

[ambasciatore]

I'm technically 16, but thanks I guess?

voice;

[crassidy]

Christ, 95 years of bein' stuck in puberty?

[ambasciatore]

Well technically 70 years stuck at the age of 10 that I don't really remember.

This whole...time business is complicated. I don't think it's the same year back home.

[crassidy]

Sounds like hell to me, mate. So what's got you livin' that long?

[ What Cassidy said. This kid sounds... well, like a kid. ]

I'm not even sure what Thot Topic is, but there's probably a date on the coupon somewhere?

[ambasciatore]

You know, I didn't think of that. I'll have to find the email again and look.

Also it's a clothing store. Carries a lot of black clothing.

[melodramagic]

I'm guessing it's a popular chain of stores in this world.

[ Pause. ]

And this coupon is for your ninety-fifth birthday?

[ambasciatore]

I think so? I've only really been to the one in Nonah.

[ He pauses, before chuckling a little bit. ] I mean, I did write down that my birth year was 1924. I'm technically turning 16 in a few weeks. It's really complicated.

I'm surprised you actually got a coupon, honestly. Is there like an age limit to that kind of thing?

[ambasciatore]

I mean it's not a great coupon but it's something.

Maybe I should stop filling out my actual birthdate.

[pocketfulof]

Every bit helps?

People are going to start wondering why I'm dating a 95-year-old you know. So. Thanks for that.

[ambasciatore]

Tell them you like robbing the grave and then that it's a necromancy joke.

[ oh, that's a...vaguely? familiar voice. though it's probably a different nico di angelo from the one she'd spoken to before, she thinks, given this place. ]

Hey, almost to triple digits! That'll be the big one.

[ambasciatore]

Do you think they give discounts at 100?

video;

[bassriff]

Prolly just the same senior discount. I hit 1000 a while back and still no luck.

video;

[ambasciatore]

Damn.

Wait. 1000?

voice;

[lesterzeppelin]

It sure does. [ he laughs, not even trying to hide his amusement at this point: ] Rock that senior discount and take it for all it’s worth.

[ambasciatore]

Apollo please.

I don't even look old enough for a senior discount!

[lesterzeppelin]

Neither do I, but hey - they'll chalk it up to an imPort thing. [ beat ] Or a typo in their system.

[ambasciatore]

Holy shit.

We should totally go grab breakfast on a senior discount then.

[setmatch]

Congratulations on the senior discount?

[ He might have been following the thread with Cassidy ]

Son of Hades, then?

text;

[ambasciatore]

[ Text. His worst enemy. To be fair, he's gotten better at reading but it takes time to make sure he reads everything properly. ]

Thank you? I doubt they'll give it to me though.

Yeah. Son of Hades.

text;

[setmatch]

[ Sorry Niko, this Son of Set doesn't have the same issues with text. Tell him and he'll switch to voice, though! ]

Well, stranger things have happened. Student discount, at least?

My apologies- I don't have much experience with the Greek Pantheon, but I do know a son of Aphrodite and a daughter of Hera and both are... well, they take after their parents.

voice;

[ambasciatore]

Sorry. Text is difficult for me to read. Can you switch to voice?

I use my student ID for discounts?

It's okay. [ A pause. ] Hera doesn't have children. At least not where I'm from. [ Another pause. ] Are you from a different Pantheon?
