Oh dear...

[Empress sounds a bit concerned over the phone] Everyone? I'm sorry, but... well, I sat down to think about it today, and tried to stretch my memory as far back as I could. And I looked through some science books as well and...

Well, I've been lying to you about my age. If my calculations are correct, I'm not 200,000

I'M SURE THEY WON'T MIND.

[What's a couple hundred thousand years?]

[kindlichekaiser]

Do you really think so? It's an awful big mistake to make...

[likescats]

IT CAN GET HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF AFTER A WHILE. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BLAME YOU.

[kindlichekaiser]

Ah, yes, as Death you've probably been around just as long, haven't you?

[ohmytenth]

...f...five hundred thousand?!

[kindlichekaiser]

Yes. I'm not sure why I kept thinking I was 200,000... I'm sorry.

[ohmytenth]

Well-- it's not like you completely lied or anything if you lost track.

[kindlichekaiser]

It blurs together after a while. I've had so many different names and seen so many human children, sometimes it gets hard to keep track.

[She sounds a bit sheepish] And not many people are as old as I am.

[bread_goes_bip]

I'm sure it'll be okay. It's hard to keep track, after a while.

[kindlichekaiser]

Yes, it all gets very confusing and jumbled around, blurring together. [A small sigh]

You speak like you know firsthand as well.

[bread_goes_bip]

Yeah, it really gets hard to keep track after a while. I'm ten billion. Ish.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She pauses, surprised] Oh my, I wasn't sure I'd meet anyone older than I was.

I'm the Childlike Empress, Miss...?

[coolbowtie]

...R-

Really...

[kindlichekaiser]

Hm? Yes, about that number. I may be off by a couple hundred years or so, but that's as close as I can get at the moment.

...Is something wrong?
