[Wirt doesn't make a ton of posts. He's shy and anxious and not really suited to public speaking in any capacity, but once in a while Wonderland is just weird enough to warrant it.]

So...um. I've been thinking about it. Does anyone else think it's kind of weird there was a New Year's Party? I-I mean we've had them before, but those were thrown by somebody here. They weren't like, Wonderland parties. Like, time doesn't move here, so does that mean the White Queen counting time? Is there a set like, Wonderland year it's supposed to be now? And isn't starting the new year in January kind of arbitrary for a place where time isn't really real?

[He sighs, and rubs the back of his neck. He can feel himself getting off track.]

Sorry, I just-- time's already way complicated to keep track of here? Like, my birthday's next week and just thinking about the logistics of how that works gives me a headache, and now having Wonderland actually acknowledge a new year...I don't know. I didn't really have a point to this, I guess.

[And so, he cuts the feed there.]

I mean, I guess it is kinda weird dealing with years passing when literally none of us age. But we're still here, living through them, right? Heck and maybe there are people here from worlds that don't even have Januarys. Then it's super abritary.

[But that's not half as important or interesting to him as Wirt's brithday.]

SO. What do you wanna do for your birthday? I'm gonna guess a hard no on an actual party, unless you're feeling up to it? Maybe something low key?

[Because Louis is obviously a person who can achieve 'low key'. ]

Yeah, that's true. Even if we aren't getting older, we're still going through stuff. Wonderland can't really stop that.

[He is really starting to regret that birthday mention. That's probably what he gets for talking without thinking first.]

Well...actually, I think Dipper and Mabel are going to do a party for me? The two of them are kind of a force to be reckoned with so I just...I said okay, as long as it's not anything too big?

[And he is choosing to trust that they won't turn it into an embarrassing mansion-wide Wirtstravaganza or something.]

It sure can't, not unless it completely resets our memories anyway, which, why would it want to do that? It'd be like throwing up the food it's already eaten.

[Too bad, he can't take it back now.]

Awesome! You better believe I'll be there.

Yeah...yeah, b-but maybe we shouldn't like, give it ideas? It does kind of get a little too into torturing us, so...we probably shouldn't tempt fate or whatever.

["Because it would hurt everyone involved emotionally" might be reason enough for Wonderland. Though, promises of coming to his birthday take the edge off that thought a little bit.]

Cool. Cool...I have like, no idea what's happening, so I guess I'll let you know when I do?

Well, if it's gonna do it to us anyway, might as well dare it to do it's worst, while flipping it the bird, right?

[Louis, no. You can't go through life daring all the dangerous things that can hurt you to do it, because eventually, it's going to actually happen.]

Sure thing, Dude. Keep me posted.
