[silvercrusader]

whens your birthday
youll be seventeen right

[digiorno]

um yes

why?

[silvercrusader]

because ive missed EVERYONES birthday and all i got out of jotaro is "its in a few months"
which isnt helpful
so i dont want to miss it if its in like june and i think its in august or whatever

[digiorno]

oh

it's in april
april 16

1/2

[silvercrusader]

jotaro what the fuck that's not in a few months at all


got it
thanks

[silvercrusader]

[OH WAIT]

what do you want
or i can guess but

[digiorno]

you can guess?

[silvercrusader]

i mean i could try
i dont know you as well as i do in the future so i might fuck it up but
its up to you

[But please tell him what you want, Giorno, he really has no idea. He'd ask Jotaro, but his trust in Jotaro is severely betrayed after this information incident.]

[digiorno]

honestly i don't know if i want anything

[silvercrusader]

[Um.]

but its your birthday

[digiorno]

yes but my birthday is unlucky

[silvercrusader]

[Ooh, this could lead into something not good, but it could also be something stupid and mundane, so--]

unlucky?

[digiorno]

yes

for lots of reasons

but you can tell from the date - the 16th day (4 x 4) of the 4th month

i didn't always know that meant it was unlucky but it always has been so it makes sense

[silvercrusader]

[Um. Like, okay, if his mother had died on his birthday or something, that'd be understandable, but four isn't unlucky. It's like . . . probably actually pretty lucky? Like, four leaf clovers, right?]

okay well im still getting you something
FIVE of something maybe
bad luck doesnt stand a chance against me

[digiorno]

[Yes, it does. Bad luck finds you in the end. Fours get you too. But of course he doesn't say it. Doesn't say anything for a while, just plays around with his watch listlessly.]

if you feel that strongly about it

i don't really, i've never done anything for my birthday before so it's not terribly important to me

[silvercrusader]

[But it's your birthday, he wants to protest. It's your day, the day where everyone pays attention to you, the day when you get cake and gifts and everyone says how much they like you. It's the best.

He's going to get him something. But he's not stupid enough to keep insisting on it, because that's not going to work. So, instead:]

we should have cake
like not birthday cake just cake
on the last day of march

[Which is . . . 3/31. Seven. No fours, which is apparently important. Good.]

[digiorno]

[That's a good day. Last year he killed someone on that day. It cheers him up a little.]

all right
i'd like that

[silvercrusader]

GOOD

[He'll get him a gift, too. Not a birthday gift. Just a casual, because-we're-friends gift. A gift of . . . something, god only knows what.]

why is four unlucky
i mean we dont have to talk about it if you want but where im from its pretty lucky

[digiorno]

it's just something mista says

and he's the luckiest person i know so i believe him

besides

[. . . well.]

four in japanese sounds like the word for die

jotaro is a good person so he probably didn't tell you but my mother is japanese so it makes sense that four would be bad luck for someone like me

[silvercrusader]

oh

[Well, that's ominous. Also! Explains a little more about the mysterious relation between Jotaro and Giorno, if he's partially Japanese.]

well anyway then its good well have cake on 3/31
seventeen is also way better than sixteen
for the record

[digiorno]

[YOU WOULD THINK THAT BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG]

is it? i didn't know

how is it better

i knew jotaro when he was seventeen and he just seemed like a disaster

[silvercrusader]

thats jotaro's fault not the ages fault
seventeen means youre older and your voice doesnt break anymore and you start to get muscles
and maybe taller

also you start getting to drive
also one year away from not being restricted on what you can buy

[digiorno]

i can already drive

well sort of
mostly

[silvercrusader]

mostly

[digiorno]

i can get from place to place without crashing 3 out of 4 times
