So I've been wondering about something! IDK I thought maybe you guys might be able to help?? Since I'm 90% sure you're all much older than me. Does anything really change when you turn 17?? Like I know I'm closer to legally being an adult... in the United States in my version of reality. TBH, I feel like that already happened back in that other place. I learned to hunt, how to make sure people tinier than me didn't starve to death or something else super awful, how to make sure the total strangers I lived with didn't kill each other and the rest of the community (harder than you think!), and stuff like that. For some reason the horrible stuff seems more adult. Learning how to knit didn't make me feel like a grown up. Weird.

I'm so off topic. Anyways! What else is there???? There's gotta be something, right??? 


(IDK=I do not know and TBH=To be honest

Is it your brithday? Happy Birthday!

[morphogenia]

NOT TODAY. Also hi. <3333333333333 THANK YOU!!! But, still not today. :'(

It's in ten days. I was just thinking about it since I need to pick out a new hairstyle by next week bc you know you've gotta look cute for your birthday, right???? Then I was like what's the point??? And wrote this post.

[ex_enlisted288]

Hi and you're welcome. Guess I'll have to wait ten days to say it again.

What do you want for your birthday? Aside from a different hairstyle.

When I turned 17 I was allowed to leave on my own for missions by the guild. It was quite a large deal to leave the Cell without a handler or my usual partner. I was allowed a larger assortment of knives, a larger stipend of wine, a larger share of gold from my contracts, and my own room.

Is this not how things are done in your world?

[morphogenia]

Wow that sounds pretty exciting and kind of like our boy scout adventures back in Reims except you know only the like three adults with us drank that stuff. The rest of us were between ten and sixteen.

And no. We get to drive and go to prom, but we could have done that stuff last year too! It's a total scam!

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY??

[morphogenia]

IN TEN DAYS. Hi! I should have led with that. Whoops???

No judging, but I have to pick out a haircut by next Monday so I look pretty for it and I kind of freaked out about my life.

Okay I'll allow a little judging since it gets crazier the more I type it out.

how to make sure the total strangers I lived with didn't kill each other and the rest of the community (harder than you think!)

You know, that was actually my most important life skill to pick up, too. It can be extremely necessary sometimes.

[morphogenia]

Right??? I didn't realize how much I relied on like the police and city officials to get people to not murder each other. It turns out they're way more useful than I ever gave them credit for. I gave them a lot of credit before too.

[Don't judge him. It's AMAZING.]

Also totes will. Animation fans have to stick together. :)

I can't speak to wherever this United States is, but I guess in my world it varies. Some kids were still in school and you're not actually an adult for another year. Granted by that time I had a lot of training in fighting and was working toward my first merc exam and...

Yeah, no it doesn't really going to feel very different. Not that eighteen is much different either.

You've already done a lot. Learned to hunt, helped people survive, kept people safe from each other, sounds like you're already an adult. A better one than a lot of other people.

[morphogenia]

Thanks. I didn't realize it until I started typing it up, but I'm a lot different now. I guess I don't always feel that way because I still scream at cute things and take naps everywhere.

What's it like to go merc school??? I didn't know that was a thing!

I see from the responses it's not your birthday today, it's on the 13th? We're almost birthday twins.

[morphogenia]

It is!!! We are?????? Amazing!!! Are you excited for your birthday??? You should get a cute haircut too!!! If you want!!!!

[Yes, she is playing dumb about this. It's all going towards a good cause.]

Nothing really changes overnight, you just wake up one day with a pile of overdue bills, start to feel morally responsible for everybody in your vicinity, spread yourself as thinly as possible and help everyone out as best you can while trying to get over the crippling guilt that's making it impossible to get out of bed and face important people in your life with truths you can't face yourself.

[You're welcome.]

[morphogenia]

Wow you're dramatic for a guy who got taken in like five seconds after arriving here and is currently living with a super pretty girl.

Struggle is totally real for you, Matt.

And here I was assuming you'd been that way from birth. Except maybe the overdue bills part.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: No and happy birthday. [ yeah yeah in 10 days ]

Also thank you. All I ask is for one hug for my birthday. I will even take a super lame side hug.

Dec. 13th, but don't feel like you have to do stuff!!!!!! I just wanted to have a mini-crisis about being 17 soon! Okay maybe it sort of accidentally happened... but, you get my point!
