I got a birthday package from home today. I always forget my birthday. I meant to make cupcakes.

[WARDED TO CLEMENTINE, ULYSSES, AND SOLO]

I'd like to get some more practice in as chaser, if possible.

[WARDED TO BASH, JADE, LIBERTY, LUCAS, AND ZACH]

What do you think we should do with the information we found during spring break? It seems significant, but I don't know how we can pursue it here. We could talk to Ms. Petrichor about interlibrary loaning some books?

when's your birthday???

It was the 20th.

how do you feel about the birthday process
is it arbitrary to add 1 to your status based on whatever calendar you were born under??

Do you mean the celebrations?

Largely arbitrary, particularly because traditional Chinese age reckoning counts the number of years you've lived in, rather than the number of birthdays you've had, as your age. That has mostly fallen by the wayside, but it does demonstrate how arbitrary age is.

Well what I'd really like to do with is slap Director Unknowable with his own stupid business card, but Cash still has that.

I'm sure he'd make us a copy if we asked nicely.

Well, we have a name. Sort of. It gives us something new to hunt for in the school's collection. But ILL-ing some things is a good idea, too.

[...] Also, happy belated birthday, Bertie.

I've been looking through some of Quill's REFERENCES. Maybe one of them will have more information about our PARTICULAR set of QUESTIONS?

Certainly the best place to start. It was such a small part of the book. I wonder how much information is actually available on that group, in particular.

I'm going to tell everyone I know to start writing more diaries. Bad record keeping is the worst thing in the WORLD.

Back tracking through references is my favorite! It's like a treasure hunt. I'll help.

I can talk to Petrichor about it. We get along.

Thank you, Lucas.

Sorry to miss your birthday.

There's no need to be sorry when I also missed it myself.

Still, I feel bad. I miss so many birthdays. I should really write them down, even if only to say Happy Birthday.

Was it a nice package?

Me too. I wrote them all out in a notebook, but I don't know where I put it.

Yes. They sent me a few books I wanted, a new t-shirt, and some cookies. Would you like to try one?

Oh!!! Happy birthday!!! Did you know that ~~you have the SAME BIRTHDAY as Adolf Hi~~ ~~You probably don't want to know that~~ [...] Louis Pasteur discovered PASTEURISATION on April 20th, 1862??? And Marie Curie isolated RADIUM for the first time on April 20th, 1902!!!! An AUSPICIOUS DAY for science, don't you think?

Do you [...] think [...] we should be TALKING to any of the OTHERS about this?

It's not a lot to go off of, but roping in other students would at least increase the chance that someone has heard of something. Just [...] need to do it in a way that doesn't start a frenzy over dark wizards. With everything going on latetly, nobody wants more stuff to worry about.

That's my hesitation too. I don't want to WITHHOLD anything or leave anyone out, but [...] sometimes, I think the LAST thing people need is to be thinking about a cabal of DARK WIZARDS.

[...] All information is good information!!! I REALLY believe that! Just [...] maybe [...] I don't know. It's tricky.

I lean more on the side of all information is good information.

I hadn't considered that possibility. Honestly, my usual delivery methods have the opposite effect.

Thank you. I did know that about Marie Curie, but not about Louis Pasteur!

Probably. But I'm not sure what we should say or how.

[...] You trying to say we're not working you hard enough?

That's for the captains to say.

But I could have done better.

Well, in that case, I'll say it. [...] You're doing just fine. This whole team's ~~about on the edge of wearing out~~ been working our asses off, reserves included. We couldn't expect any more from you, not me and not Decourt neither.

~~Hey, no. Don't be like that.~~ ~~You were great, and I'm~~ That's not what I heard, but sure, alright. We all could've pulled up our game some.

[...] Stick with me next practice. We'll start working you up the chaser route. Get you flying point by next week.
