Hm...?

[ He tilts his head to the side. ]

That's too many "nines".

[gettingoutalive]

Uh,

[And it tilts its the opposite.]

No it isn't. It's the exact number.

[immortalrose]

[ He blinks his eyes owlishly for a moment. ]

You mean to state you're the nine-hundred and ninety-nine million...wait.

[ A brief pause. ]

No, you're the nine-hundred and ninety, nine-hundred and ninety-nine thousand, and---Oh, I give up!

[gettingoutalive]

Nine-hundred ninety-nine million, nine-hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine-hundred ninety-nine.

A billion minus one.

[immortalrose]

So that's how you say it, hm?

...Still too many "nines".

[gettingoutalive]

...hmm.

Ah! [It slaps a fist into its palm in a eureka moment fashion.] I get it. You can't count!

[immortalrose]

Wrong. I'm just bored and idly chatting with you.

[gettingoutalive]

It's understandable to not want to admit something like that.
