Technology's archaic.

[ Well, that's one way to introduce oneself. Insult the technology. Like an asshole. ]

Year you're from? [ Then, as an afterthought: ] Mine's 2547.

[ Guess what, buddy? Maine's got the Best News Ever: ]

Found soap.

[ BEST. NEWS. EVER. ]

Notations in era and other relevant demarcations of time.

If you want it in simpler terms that are woefully inaccurate as a summation, you could view it as 2010. However as our scientific time scale makes accounting’s on a bimillenial round, instead of preserving the ‘2’ we upgraded from μ to ν

[ Congratulations, Reeve. That makes absolutely no sense to Maine. At all. He reads it several times, wondering if his lack of comprehension is because of his education or because this just makes no fucking sense.

Eventually: ]

Why change?

[plate_builder]

That... I don't know. It's just the way it works. I'm just an architect.

[bloodbathing]

[ Well. At least they're both fucking lost in that regard. ]

Confusing.

[plate_builder]

I agree. But other people set it up and they were hopefully experts so... I will work with it.

[bloodbathing]

Or assholes.

[ The "experts," he means. Because seriously? What the fuck.

Moving on: ]

Other months?

[plate_builder]

The other months seem to fall in line with that which is had here in the logs. But we had a 31 day standard month.

[bloodbathing]

Sounds nice.

[ Always annoying, having to remember which months have fewer days. ]

[plate_builder]

Convenient for planning things. Inconvenient on the whole fact that there are seven days in a standard week.

[bloodbathing]

Same.

[ In his universe, he means. Which means that the whole thing is rather universally— ]

Dumb.

[plate_builder]

No, it's a relatively reasonable structure for a week. Just not for the creation of a reliable month.

[bloodbathing]

Can't have both?

[ A reasonable week and a reliable month, he means. ]

[plate_builder]

Trust me, i would prefer both. I don't make the rules, however.

[bloodbathing]

[ Right. He's "just an architect." ]

Asshole experts.

[plate_builder]

And they have been dead for a very long time. So I can't even lodge a complaint with management.

[bloodbathing]

Damn rude. Dodging flak.

[plate_builder]

Absolutely rude. I think someone should make a time machine to give them grief. Or just make a new calendar.

[bloodbathing]

Both. Show them calendar.

[plate_builder]

Perhaps. But I would have more important uses for time travel first.

[bloodbathing]

Pit stop.
