it's like a quarter life crisis

Why are so many of you so young? I'm not the only one at a more mature age, am I? Is anyone over 20? I'm getting wrinkles just thinking about this.

[He's just 25 but if he has one more person tell him they're too young to drink when he thought they were older... his heart can't take it.]

Not an adult just yet, no, but close enough to count I would think. Unless you consider adulthood to come later that sixteen.

[razzledazzles]

Sixteen is definitely still a child, no matter how you look at it. Seventeen, maybe, but...

[brynwieldr]

Sixteen isn't so different from seventeen.

[razzledazzles]

And fifteen is not so different from sixteen. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

[brynwieldr]

Fifteen is more like fourteen than sixteen, however. Regardless, there's plenty of adults here. Perhaps not ones as old as you, but all the same.

[razzledazzles]

Then, if you'll refer back to my post, how many are over 20?

[brynwieldr]

I wouldn't know. I haven't asked. I am, at least.

[razzledazzles]

At least there are a small handful of people in that age range, so far.

[brynwieldr]

You are really obsessed with the age of others, aren't you?

[razzledazzles]

No, it's just my own presentation I'm worried about.

[brynwieldr]

Should we be watching you for signs of murdering younger people and bathing in their blood?

[razzledazzles]

Can we stop bringing up blood baths?

[brynwieldr]

I assume your world does not have the horrific nobility of Nohr.

[razzledazzles]

Ignoring that I'm a shinki and can't remember a thing about my own world, I'll have to say no, I don't recognize that at all.

[brynwieldr]

Probably for the best, to be perfectly honest.

[razzledazzles]

I don't get an explanation?

[brynwieldr]

I'm not quite sure an explanation is needed. I've mentioned bathing in the blood of young and youthful people twice in relation to the nobility of my home. Do I need to spell out what some rather insane people did in my homeland's history?

[razzledazzles]

What about an explanation as to why you feel the need to keep bringing this up?

[brynwieldr]

Obsession with youth can lead to terrible things.

[razzledazzles]

You know, I was actually saying there was a bit too much youth.

[brynwieldr]

Which is what the last blood-bathing witch said before she was hung. Not that I'm implying you would do anything of the sort.

[razzledazzles]

I only want drinking partners.

[brynwieldr]

Maybe start with that next time.

Though what does age have to do with that?

[razzledazzles]

Everyone continues to tell me they're too young to drink.

[brynwieldr]

There are no eight-year-olds here. Who the hells is too young to drink here?
