How does time flow here? At any given time, how do we know what month it is for the characters? Is it the same as us?

Our time is kinda based around the central narrative, in a sense at least. Your RPs don't have to be linear and flow that way, they just have to fit into the continuity of the main story. As it is now after the first chapter of the chonicle there will be a period of a couple weeks where our characters were still in 600ad, all the side RPs take place in that time frame.

There is a timeline that will be consistantly updated as the main story progresses ( Here ) I took the time to add a total days past in RP to it, though things like seasons and whatnot may different depending on when we arrive in certain times.

Quick reply. Didn't realize you were on.
Would Day 1 be the start of the year for them? So it'll be Jan 24th at the start of chapter 2?
Lol. I was thinking it was the end of the year, like it is for us, but I realized that there is no reason for it to be the same.

No, because we time travel we don't follow seasons and dates in a linear way. So while in 1010ad at the start it was Spring it's around the same season in 600ad however our next just could be winter or fall, etc. Dates are mostly irrelevant to the way we travel. Basically it's been 24 days since the adventure started at the beginning of Chapter 2. In Chapter 1 it's the first day of the adventure still. The 23 days in between are when all the side adventures took place as at the end of Chapter 1 we will be left in 600ad awhile.
If it's desired I can set an exact date the adventure started and project a date for each time jump as well.

Lol.
Random Person: How old are you?
Time Traveler: Well let's see. It's March 3 here, so it is November 20 in my time, so that means… Aw, crap, I turned 25 a week go. *Runs off*
Random Person: Where are you going?
Time Traveler: To buy a birthday cake.
I might be the only one who really cares. I've been told I can be too detailed with my characters. A lot of people forget to age their characters anyway. Knowing the season they are in works. I can estimate from there.

I went ahead and put concrete dates down for when it was in each time. I will continue this trend as we time travel in the future, as we are about to make a jump when Chapter 2 starts, which should be this week as Chapter 1 is coming to an end. Also, you can never be too detailed. lol.

I'm not even sure what exact year it was for Mira when she left her time.
She was alive during the war against the reptiles. Age 14 was the last reference to the war. She was 32 when she disappeared. I mentioned her knowing about Frog from Ayla, who was done with her adventures.
That would mean she disappeared between 65 million BC (if she disappeared right after Ayla was done) and 65 million – 18 BC (or 64,999,982 BC, if the war ended when she was 14).
Though if she was 32 when she disappeared, and if she was in 1009/1010 for almost a year, that would mean she's due to be 33 soon. (Her birthday is November 13, though she probably just celebrated it during fall. I can picture, each season, Iokans just having a huge birthday celebration for anyone born during that season.)
