	Hey, Bill! Yeah, it's 2022... I don't know about exciting just yet, but, then again I was only about 3 during this time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hey, Reeve, how are you? I think I'm going to give up on working out what age I "should be" during certain years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reeve_adler 2022-01-18 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'm doing pretty great actually, how are you? Feel weird to be older again? I understand! This is my first time in this... Time. I woke up in a broken crib. Haha! To go from less than a foot tall to 5'11" is quite the jump! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've bounced around in time a fair bit in my 40 years, so I don't feel weird being back in this year, no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reeve_adler 2022-01-18 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's fair. I remember seeing you young and... Older several times over. It just feels a bit weird for me, y'know? Seeing people I've known my whole life... But younger. I take it you'd get used to this sort of thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-18 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	It depends on how often you switch times. Like I said, I've bounced around a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reeve_adler 2022-01-20 02:00 am UTC (link)
	I know you have, but I haven't. This is my first time. But, something amazing happened through this first time, so I'm more than happy to have been sent through time. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-20 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, that's my point. I'm used to it, you're not. That's cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	daddyissues_ 2022-01-17 09:15 am UTC (link)
	Don't think that growing old gets you around doing the dishes this evening. That's still your job. By now I'm thinking you all just do this to escape your designated chores. On that note, hi, it's good to see your face. How is my son doing? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-17 09:20 am UTC (link)
	But moooooooom etc etc Your son is doing well, thank you. How are you? Where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2022-01-17 09:35 am UTC (link)
	You know one day I think I will actually miss the debates around chores. I'm glad to hear that. That sentence is a mother's delight. I'm okay. Getting there. It's hard without your father. Currently, I'm with Bobby in the park and have come to the conclusion that I know nothing about t-rex skin rashes. Her flank looks a little odd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Richie is never going to stop those,so I wouldn't worry about it. I'll be with you soon. I seem to be in an igloo and I have no idea who's nearby so I can't swap with them to get out. I'll work it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2022-01-17 10:19 am UTC (link)
	What a relief! I know the igloo. I'm quite proud of your little adventure. I can create a portal to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-17 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad I could put your heart at ease. A portal would be great. I can't find my sling ring at the moment, but it's probably in my pocket somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maybe if you like the number 2? Where I'm from it was 9:40 Dragon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-17 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	The best year for liking the number 2 would be something like 2222. I don't know how that should be interpreted. Is 9 the number of months, and 40's the number of years into the age of the dragon? Or am I just inventing things now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	enchanteradrian 2022-01-19 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	Why stop there? 2222222 sounds great for a fan of 2. You're close! It's the fortieth year into the age of the Dragon, which is the ninth age. It was the month of Harvestmere when I left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-19 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Or we could just lean on the 2 key, but I'll save everyone that annoyance. Now I'm tempted to ask what ages one thru eight are, and how many more ages there are, and what your other months are called. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A wall of 2. Seriously, do you know what it means here, though? 2022 years since the station was built?

Now this feels like a test! Ages 1 through 8 are the Divine, Glory, Towers, Black, Exalted, Steel, Storm, and Blessed. Each age lasts a hundred years, and at the end one of our religious leaders looks at signs and omens to name the next. It is the ninth age now, so I don't know how many will come after! I'd have to see the future.

Months are easy: Wintermarch, Guardian, Drakonis, Cloudreach, Bloomingtide, Justinian, Solace, August, Kingsway, Harvestmere, Firstfall, Haring.

	There was a door to the French revolution but we weren't allowed outside the safe zone I learned how to swear in French now, so not a total loss, but would have been fun to overthrow the burgiouse (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-18 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Okay, I know when I am, properly now. At least the door wasn't a total loss, then? Productive French lessons. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Were you in our make out igloo when you got old? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-18 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	I. It's possible. I was in an igloo, at least. ~~Dan, Jack, please don't~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abra_stone 2022-01-18 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	You must be really old if you can't remember which one was ours. Or so much cool stuff has happened since that you forgot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bill_denbrough 2022-01-18 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	I'm about to turn 41. So, yeah. I'm going to go with all the cool stuff happening. [zip-zip for Abra] i was in our igloo, yeah, but i don't want your uncle or your grandad kicking my ass for even mentioning making out with you when i'm middle-aged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abra_stone 2022-01-19 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, you've probably got a year or two more before old age sets in. [Zip-zip] They know us. They know we're not gonna do anything when our ages don't match up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm ancient, really. [zip-zip] i know, i know (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's tragic. I'll probably end up ancient too. All of us usually get old together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hypochondriac_ 2022-01-19 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Shit that causes people to get hurt, sick, killed, or that breaks the station, or that fucks with our heads - like accidents, station fucking with us, disease, fires, monsters, running out of air, bad guys, I could make a really long list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a door a while back that went to Jake's home world, and it turned everyone who went through into a Na'vi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, Bill. I hate to be so forward,, but you're from the future... Did we kill It? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private bill_denbrough 2022-01-19 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, Ben. We've killed It a few times now. Different doors to our world open up, we go through and find It, and kick its ass. ~~We haven't killed it enough times yet, though~~ The first time was before you ever even showed up on the station, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Private egg_boy 2022-01-20 12:09 am UTC (link)
	A FEW?! I thought this was supposed to be a one and done thing?! Okay. I understand, I just remember what happened with us in Derry. I have to ask... Do we have forces around now in case that... Fuck... Shows it's face again, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private bill_denbrough 2022-01-20 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	~~Not for me, it isn't~~ Back in Derry, it is. It won't show up here, you know that, right? And when the doors open that lead us back to Derry, there are always people who help us. And each time we do it, we save another timeline full of kids from that bastard clown. (Reply to this) (Parent)
