The time is so confusing here... all the differences... we don't use the... a.d. system anymore- Britannia is a.t.b., and- I was really sure next year was supposed to be the Pig... but here it's supposed to be the year of the Ox apparently... 2009... but it was supposed to be 2018 by the Britannian calender...

Doing the math like this is kind of ( Read more... )

The Empress? Of... of China?

...

Other New Year? So this one was... by the solar calendar. And thus not the one... we usually have. Figures. It really is confusing here.

... I didn't know the system by which the years are counted here at all before coming here.

M- Mm! Well- It's the Chinese Federation, in my world, but. Yes.

I learned in the books!

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 02:46:52 UTC

But - you're still the Empress. Didn't think I would ever speak to one...

It's a pleasure, Your Highness!

In the library? I guess I could go take a look. Maybe there's a book that compares the solar calendar to the Japanese one.

My pleasure, too! I love meeting new people!

And- At the school, too, they teach things like that.

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 03:08:35 UTC

Really? I was never taught anything like that... maybe people of my time aren't that aware of it.

justasystem January 4 2009, 03:29:08 UTC

... that could be! I think I'm from the future.

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 03:30:54 UTC

Even more? Because I'm pretty sure I'm definitely from the past, compared to the City.

[Voice] justasystem January 4 2009, 03:38:15 UTC

I think most people say it's the early 2000s... or late 1990's- On earth-

But I think it's 2018!

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 03:48:51 UTC

Haaah... really?

For me, at home, it was Kansei 4. Which apparently equals 1792, in the solar calendar.

justasystem January 4 2009, 03:51:47 UTC

Really early!

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 03:58:34 UTC

I guess, huh?

Youko-san had to explain almost everything in the household to me. Stoves, dishwashes, vacuum cleaners... I could go on!

[Voice] justasystem January 4 2009, 04:00:38 UTC

M- Me, too!

Because I never was allowed to do stuff like that- In Luoyang...

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 04:10:56 UTC

... Court etiquette?

[Voice] justasystem January 4 2009, 04:15:56 UTC

I know that!

[Voice] revengeisalie January 4 2009, 04:31:50 UTC

Oh, no - I was guessing, sort of.

[Voice] justasystem January 4 2009, 04:38:36 UTC

Oh, yeah... Empresses aren't supposed to do laundry they would think...
