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

Oh! Just help people do that. :) It's really hard! So getting them prepared would really lessen that burden for a lot of people. Keep an eye out for stuff like mining expeditions or when we need to go catch poisonous snakes to save the sick. It comes up more often than you think.

Like the ice mice? I've run into those.

[morphogenia]

Yes, but don't hurt them! They're probably just scared. :(

[skyward_eyes]

Scared? Yeah, no. One jumped me earlier today. Froze me solid. Altair had to melt the ice before I suffocated or my heart stopped. And the thing came after me. I don't think so.

[morphogenia]

OMG are you okay?! Did you see a doctor?!

[skyward_eyes]

Uh... Yes okay. No on the doctor? I mean, not the first time I've been frozen. Just the first time it lasted so long.

[morphogenia]

You're really casual about the whole frozen thing. Does this really happen a lot to people who take merc tests???

[skyward_eyes]

I come from a world with magic. Ice spells aren't usually that intense, but it happened more often. And yeah, it does.

[morphogenia]

Right. Well I'm glad your friend saved you. I guess we're going to need to keep an eye out for those guys now.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah... well not my friend, not yet. I think I could be but... Anyway, they're annoying. But they don't come into the house so there's that much.

[morphogenia]

Small comforts?? Anyways, I wish you and your not! friend the best of luck not getting frozen and stuff.

Thanks, that's really kind of you. And Happy birthday.
