[ abraxas - network post ]
time as a measurable construct is derived of the instinct to rationalize the limited experience of our mortality. the space between one's birth and death is negligible in the continuous stream of time, but we prescribe a value in "years" to contextualize the length of a "lifetime."
under the pretext of earth-based systems, "days" "months" and "years" are measured based on the expected cycles of the earth, moon, and sun respectively. these values are nonequivalent in application between different solar systems, leading to the use of "standardized" measurements that are doubly arbitrary as a function of social contracts in an organized society. ( see: galactic standard time (GST) )
furthermore, given the understanding of abraxas as a nexus of the multiverse with infinite possible realities intersecting at one point, the notion of a mutually agreeable measurement of time becomes even more obtuse. when 800 years that never happened can pass in 3 weeks and we will ( allegedly ) return to the singular point in time from which we were pulled into this world in the first place, attempting to prescribe a value to one's "lifetime" in this sphere is irrational.
[ uhhh that's nice river but is there a point to all this? bear with us here... ]
if we suspend disbelief of our unreality and account for the changing of the seasons as a generally comparable expression of a "year," it could be argued that she has theoretically surpassed the value of "18 years" in the span of her mortal existence. various cultures have held different beliefs around the concept of "maturity" and when one transitions from "childhood" to "adulthood" but

is it supposed to feel different? i can't tell
[ ooc: h...appy birthday?? ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ consider this the unofficial invitation to eddie and river's joint birthday party in the horizon! there's an open log that's meant as a general mingle for anyone that wants to eat cake and watch goat destroyer perform live. you don't have to know or interact with eddie or river to join the shenanigans, but presents are mandatory since it's all imaginary anyway.
