[Video] {Jan. 6th, Mid-morning}

There is something that I would like to ask: Is it honestly important to celebrate a person's birth? I do not believe I have been able to be a party to such an event, neither back home nor in this city. I have heard about it however, and think it an interesting concept.

Perhaps I may not have witnessed it due to the fact that I have been in the midst of war back home and in this world. That is something that I have thought about.

[He pauses, looking thoughtful]

That aside, I also think it might not be all that special to most dragons back home. I have not heard of a special hatching-day celebration for dragons at all. It might be rather silly, to think of oneself on the day of their hatching. I recall every moment of it quite well. I even know when I will turn what age, so I suppose it might not be as necessary for us dragons if we are able to do that much. At least, that is the rationale I am offering, if any of you were wondering.

I am only rather curious about it, and would like to learn more from people this time around, than from a book more because I already have read up about it. That it is a social convention is a given, though what are your personal thoughts and feelings about the issue is what I would like, and I hope that several of you out there would be willing to oblige and answer as best as you can.

Thank you.

[See Chika sitting at a desk, looking a bit confused and like she needs to ask people something. She had been deep in thought over somethings a lot lately, and well, it's started to get to a point where she couldn't exactly ignore it all much longer. It was something she really needed to ask about.]

Umm... having a one-hundred-percent resonation rate in practice isn't normal, is it? I mean, from what I've heard it's supposed to be hard, but well, I haven't been having any problems with it at all. Has anyone else found it to be really easy?

[After Vanille, Masaru, Yukiko, Yukari, and several others, Chika was starting to get a bit confused. Maybe one of you can give her a good idea of what's up?]

[OOC Edit: By 100% resonation rate, she means that she hasn't had a failed resonation with with anyone she's tried it with yet, not that she's reached perfect resonance. Sorry for any confusion there!]

audio/accidental video meant to be audio; 014 - JAN 06/'10 - early evening

[ He thinks he knows his own handset well enough to work it on his own, and he does. To an extent. As accustomed as Sollux is to the text function of the SCs, he hasn't really used the other two broadcast options as much as most.

So rather than hitting audio like he had originally meant to, it's the live video feed option he nails instead.


What the image focuses on at first is less of an image and more of a blur; glimpses of a dim ceiling, a lit television, and a rumpled, black shirt. It rattles about a bit more for another couple of seconds before evening out, the image finally coming into shaky focus on a somewhat familiar, if changed, face.

It's only Sollux, but where his eyes should be, there are only a couple of rather empty, black voids. ]

In case anyone was wondering or gave a shit:

I'm pretty sure Feferi isn't here anymore. Just as a heads-up. Like the news isn't shitty enough as is.
