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.]

I'm 16, and I don't think that's going to change since I'm a shinki.

[Is she going to look like this for the rest of her (after)life...]

[razzledazzles]

Another young soul... I'm sorry about that. The good news is, there's no laws in heaven, so you can drink away.

[?!]

I never thought about drinking here before. [She have other things to worry about, like learning she's dead, to think of more mundane pleasures.] Wouldn't it get in the way of our duties?

[razzledazzles]

Not as long as you time it right. Between prayers, or at night... Those are easy times.

[twiceinhabited]

I'll keep those in mind. At the moment, I'm not interested in drinking.

[razzledazzles]

Well, it can't be helped if you don't have the sense of adventure. Oh well.

[twiceinhabited]

Is that a bad thing?

[razzledazzles]

It's not my place to say if it's good or bad.

[twiceinhabited]

Yes, that's right.

[Still, not being adventurous enough... Something about that struck a chord.

A pause. To ask, or not to ask.]

What if someone asks for your opinion?

[razzledazzles]

My opinion is that you should always do what you'd like to, and what you feel is right, no matter what others tell you. Your heart knows.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for indulging me for a moment.

[razzledazzles]

Of course, my dear.
