[VOICE. old man has a thoughtful, relaxed tone.]
-- when ya arrive here, in Death City, do ya add years to yer age if ya come from the past, or do ya subtract years when ya come from the future, or do ya just leave yer age an' just carry off whatever yer age was here?
I figured I probably should just leave the age thing alone, right? An' just continue agin' as if I were home or somethin'. 'Cause if I add the years, I should be about .... [takes a minute or two to calculate things] a millenia old. Or more than a millenia, empires are difficult to calculate ages for. An' I don't think I wanna be that old so I'm just stickin' wit' bein' three centuries old. Kinda makes it difficult when calculatin' birthdays an' all.
[sighs]
Not that it's a big deal or anythin' if the shifts in time don't bother ya, though it's somethin' that occured to me the other day.
[IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S NOSTALGIC OR ANYTHING :T ]
