Evening [1600 - 2200] — Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will be at 1900 in the Commissary and will be hosted by the Amateaur Dramatics Group. You're invited to come see the one woman show that Mind Control called too "boring" to put on early morning television.

Specials Event - All Specials with knowledge of Specials HQ have been invited to a surprise party to celebrate wanted fugitive, Dick Grayson's, seventeenth birthday.

Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.

Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

Dick is nice enough that he wouldn't resent anybody who was just here because they needed a party, and while he is, at the back of his mind, aware that it's probably the reason at least some of them are there, he's happy to ignore that part and focus on the idea that everybody's here to celebrate him, it's nice to be a little selfish from time to time, and it is his birthday after all.

"It's been a brilliant day, best day I've had here so far." it wasn't strictly true, the majority of the day itself had been quite melancholy, but the significant upturn in mood that the party had caused was enough for him to give the day as a whole a much better rating.

Matt likes that in a person, that kindness, particularly in a place like this. He's glad that Dick isn't thinking that though because he deserves to have a good birthday. It's not selfish; Matt thinks it's a good thing.

He smiles when Dick says it's been a good day. "You deserve it. I'm glad it's been good." Hey, sometimes that's what it takes: selective memory, or something like that. "We should start celebrating more. I think it's good for people."

[utilitybelted]

"You're right," Dick agrees with an enthusiastic nod "Maybe we should start figuring out people's birthdays, or anniversaries or... anything, really. Maybe we should just have parties to celebrate a Tuesday. Even though Tuesdays aren't really a thing here... does anybody else think that's a bit weird?" he'd never thought about how much days of the week and months were a part of life until they were gone and it just felt a little strange, it didn't have that much of an impact per say, but it was still sort of jarring.

"Sorry, off topic, yes people should celebrate more, boost morale and all that."

[preemptiveforgiveness]

Matt chuckles a little at that. "Nothing wrong with celebrating our own holidays and Tuesdays." Speaking of off topic though. "I've noticed the same thing. I thought maybe it was simply because I can't see any sort of delineation between days in the form of a calendar or date on my device. Personally, I think every day feels like a Monday."

He pauses, looking around the room. "Except this. It feels a little like a Friday. Thank you for that."

[utilitybelted]

"I know what you mean," he nods "Although ever since I went off grid it all feels a little bit like one of those Sundays when you have nothing to do but you've got school the next day." he isn't sure if the sentiment makes any sense, but it's the best way he can describe how it feels.

"I don't know if you should be thanking me, it's really Lydia who's responsible for that Friday feeling," he smiles.

[preemptiveforgiveness]

He smiles at that. It makes perfect sense. "How are you doing with that?" He knows it's got to be hard, but he also thinks there must be some kind of freedom in it.

"I know she did a lot of the work. I'll make certain to thank her later." He doesn't mean that lewdly. He's honest about it and he appreciates that Dick gives credit where it's due. That says a lot about him, he thinks.
