No more mold everywhere.

[meteorstorm]

No more sludge in your shoes.

[yellowhasthechest]

You know, I ruined a perfectly good pair of boots that way.

[meteorstorm]

Mine are leather. Leather and water don't get along very well.

[yellowhasthechest]

Ugh. Suede.

[meteorstorm]

At least there's an option to stay away from the water, now.

[yellowhasthechest]

Or to know where you're gonna find it.

[meteorstorm]

The penalties for not wearing shoes aren't nearly as bad.

[yellowhasthechest]

I'm sure once your summer rolls around there'll be plenty of that.

[meteorstorm]

Six months, give or take.

[yellowhasthechest]

... how long is a month, again?

[meteorstorm]

It depends on the month, but usually thirty days.

[yellowhasthechest]

I never did get the hang of your calendar.

[meteorstorm]

It gets more confusing during leap years.

[yellowhasthechest]

During what years?

[meteorstorm]

Leap years. They add an extra day in February for some reason. Last year was one.

[yellowhasthechest]

Why the hell would you just add a day?

[meteorstorm]

To keep up with the phases of the moon, or something. I'm not entirely sure.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Just making a confused noise and sitting up.]

What does the moon have to do with it?

[meteorstorm]

It controls the tides, and has an effect on the planet's magnetic fields. It's in different places in the sky depending on what time of year it is.

[yellowhasthechest]

Yeah, okay, but what does that have to do with how long the month is?

[meteorstorm]

I don't know. I never said it made any sense. I think it's supposed to be one month per cycle of the moon.

[yellowhasthechest]

Whoever made your calendar?

They're nuts.

[meteorstorm]

Try using the lunisolar calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes they add an extra month.

[yellowhasthechest]

... holy shit, I actually hate the way you tell time. Congratulations.

[Flopping back.]
