Open Post: Who invented this calendar anyway?

How unfortunate.

Yes, Grantaire was fully aware that the year being longer at the mansion would logically cause seasons to drift when someone kept track of the old calendar, or at least what had been pinned down as the old calendar for convenience sake, which was almost necessary when people's arrivals weren't necessarily tied to the day they left. He hadn't given it too much thought last year, when his birthday, such that it was, arrived in spring like he was used to.

Dark, though, was unfortunate. Not inappropriate for the next notable anniversary coming up, but for this one, not at all. Of course, it wasn't as if he would have been planning much in the way of an event, Dark or no, but it would have been nice to treat himself to something or other, regardless.

Instead, he has installed himself in the game room, where he is carefully balancing dominoes on their ends to make a domino rally on the billiards table. It's a nice large flat surface, so it should work nicely. Have to keep entertained somehow.

"Possibly whole years," although when he checks the timer it is, in fact, only seventeen more minutes.

"Years are not so long." Xie Lian accepts the cake. "Though I admit I've never tried cake cooked for them." He peers at it. "How was this one made?"

"An experiment. There are half as many cherries as Etienne is years old, by the way."

Xie Lian gives the microwave a bewildered glance, and decides he's better off counting cherries. "So young!"

"Practically an infant!"
