[A familiar BZZZZZT!, what looks like a blurred hand slapping the communicator, then a bit of text makes it's way to the screen...]

--morrow's me:

Today was my birthday. I didn't really tell anyone about it, but that's alright. With how things are, I'd hate to trouble someone with something as simple as a birthday. Still, it's strange to think that I aged a whole year in this place. I haven't actually been here that long, but somehow the age of seventeen has managed to creep up on me...

Did you do anything special for yourself?

It just doesn't come to mind. I think I lose track of the days--the calendar ones--easy here. There's always so much to do.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Mm, I suppose that's true. [Except she really didn't do much of anything to help out. It always makes her feel bad.] What exactly do you do here?

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

Oh, me?

I make and purify a lot of the water. Right now I'm just doing that in Spero, but I did it for most of the Discedo buildings.

If I wasn't doing that, I was out stocking supplies or hunting.

Oh wow, you're doing so much for the people here!
