Game 011 [Voice] - Another Year Wiser

[neverplaysfair]

Given the nature of time here in relation to our own worlds, would you say that birthdays here even have a point? You lose any time you spend here when you go home, and possibly regain it if you return, so it the end it arguably doesn't exist in any permanent capacity. But it's still time that you've lived and experience that you've gained.

Those older than the threshold.

[knightofratatosk]

The what?

[neverplaysfair]

The line that says whether you can do something or not.

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, I see... so you're saying that people older than the age the rules say are the ones who made the rules. That makes sense.

[neverplaysfair]

Quite the smart one, I see.

[knightofratatosk]

Hey!

[neverplaysfair]

Yes?

[knightofratatosk]

... never mind. Why are you asking about this, anyway?

[neverplaysfair]

To see what people think.

[knightofratatosk]

Well, if the time we spend here does count, then I'll be 18 in March.

[neverplaysfair]

I suppose I might as well ask. What if it doesn't?

[knightofratatosk]

Then I guess I'll still be 16.

[neverplaysfair]

And what do you think of yourself as?

[knightofratatosk]

I... I'm not sure. I don't feel like I've changed that much at all.

[neverplaysfair]

Would you have felt the same back home, though?

[knightofratatosk]

Back home?

[He considers this for a moment.]

I guess I did get a little braver, and I didn't apologize to people as much. And I learned how to fight too, even though I'm not very good at it.

(( OOC: ... I am suddenly reminded of my dorm's ToS2 drinking game where one of the primary pings was "Emil apologizes" ))

Will you be celebrating your birthday?

[knightofratatosk]

(OOC: SO HOW LONG BEFORE EVERYONE WAS TRASHED?)

... no. Not here.

[neverplaysfair]

(( OOC: We didn't use alcohol, because it was quickly clear that if we did, we'd all die of alcohol poisoning. ))

I see. Is there a different reason as well?

[knightofratatosk]

[OOC: Wise decision.]

N-no, there's nothing like that!

[neverplaysfair]

Really?

[knightofratatosk]

Of course not!

[neverplaysfair]

You reacted pretty strongly for there not being another reason.

[knightofratatosk]

I just... I-I don't really like parties, that's all.

[neverplaysfair]

You don't need a party for it.
