Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise
Date: October 6th, 2018
Characters: Walter Weekes; anyone who wants to bug the birthday boy!
A year before, and he might not have paid attention to the date on the calendar, with how he tried to keep himself busy.
Oh, he never forgot it; he'd just never asked for anything spectacular as a gift. Close friends either found out the date through casual conversation or ferreted the information out somehow on their own, but his family had never thrown lavish parties and he'd never wanted one.
(Haley had gotten one, once, once she'd chosen her degree back in London. Everyone involved had agreed afterwards to Never Speak of it Again.)
But he found the day special for a separate reason - or perhaps the same one, if people considered "discovering who you were" to be a form of rebirth.
What with what he now knew as a Numbered, though - that this day, six years ago, had been the activation of his first Echo/flashback/remnant of another's memory - it was all the more surreal.
[This is a post for Network communications, threadings for birthday shenanigans at the flat, and one (1) bike run in the evening!]

*Throws buck out the window*
Benjiro returns to stand next to where Sadie is seated, waiting for approval should he need to look again. Standing close to her, his hand drifts over to the back of her shoulder in a light contact.
But I'd already chewed it!
"Sure," he says, "I'm game."
The buck is only good as Chad food now
But Chad isn't in this thread! ... He is, however, in this log.
As long as we all have something to do, maybe we won't get overwhelmed by... all of this.
One day, one hour - perhaps even one minute - at a time. That, against the enormity of another's occasionally worldview-shattering existence, would have to do for now.

Setting the tube on the cushion, he'll look around for possible components. A proper dice tower would make this more fun although he isn't certain Walter even has one.
Mun thought it was a board game at first. Muse is, again, laughing. XD
Jim might, but that is neither here nor there- but improvising one is well within his skills."I'll be right back," he says to Ben, images brewing. A dice tower without wood or glue... Well, glue would be simple enough to find later, so just appropriate knick-knacks will do for now.
An empty shoebox (one of those with the inexplicable semicircles on each side of the box that are much more useful now), finger-width containers that can be easily emptied, and a doorstopper in the shape of a wedge.
no subject
"Rock, Paper, Scissors for who goes first?"
Should we play the second game, or fade out?
Though he'd have to complete his choice first, even if it's a split-second before everyone else. Otherwise it would be cheating!
Fade out me thinks
When Walter returns with the items, he'll assist as he can in constructing the dice tower so they can settle in for a few rousing rounds of Zombie Dice to raise mirth and laughter in the flat.
