[Voice / Action] backdated to the 24th due to vacationing, sob.

[dissonates]

[Not that he's told anyone, but the 24th is a pretty important date. It's left Asch in kind of a weird mood. Between this and the upcoming draft shut up I know I'm late he's venturing ever so slightly out of his usual "ignore everyone" shell. You may now die of shock.]

...How old do you have to be on your world before you're considered an adult? Is there some kind of party or ceremony you have to go through?

[He'll probably be hanging out in the bar for the rest of the evening, being his usual quiet self, though he's oddly calm today. If there's ever a time to meet him without losing a head, this is it. :|]




[ooc: originally I wanted to be here to do this on time, but life conspired, so it is late. :c for the record, this takes place BEFORE the draft. For those unfamiliar with the Abyss world, one's 20th birthday is v. important, and Auldrant's year is actually 700+ days long, and... yeah, I was a colossal geek and figured out what day would be Asch's 20th. tl;dr he's old now.]

[And Asch can't really help but think of the replica. Some people just have no hope of growing up at all |D]

If you need more than 20 years to grow up, you have problems.

Well, every country has their own army usually -- if they're big enough anyways. Marines aren't part of any country, they're the police and army force of the world government.

Considering it'd be your party...

[Action]

[dissonates]

[....A look. GIVE ME A GOOD REASON.]

[dissonates]

...They're not involved in any kind of religion, are they?

[justicereigns]

No, why?

Well Sengoku is the "Buddha," but it's really just a pun, not like he's a god.

Well I kinda helped save the earth. [... kingdom. Earth Kingdom.] But I think half of the people here have done that... or at planning to do that. Or something.

Twenty? ...People from your world sure have a long childhood.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

They couldn't be taught? I mean, people in my world used to really hate half-elves, but now they're realizing that they aren't so bad after all. Sure, some people still hate them, but they're also valued for their knowledge and stuff. That's a big change from the way things were two years ago.

Wasn't sure if you wanted company. [There, see? She was thinking of you. A totally sincere and friendly gesture.]

[HE CAN'T ALL RIGHT]

Okay, no party then.

Well, you and I can do something, right? Give me a week to give it some thought and I'll come up with something innovative.

[dissonates]

[Oh thank god. If you want a party, Guy, just throw one for yourself 8|]

...We don't have to do anything special. It just sounds like a lot of trouble.

[dissonates]

Company and conversation don't have to be the same thing. [SEE HIS LOGIC? SEE IT? ...Yeah neither do I.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

It's better that people get used to making their own decisions. Isn't free will more important than traditions?

[Voice]

[dissonates]

...Probably. There are too many so-called "heroes" here.

[dissonates]

The biggest military on my world is devoted to the Order of Lorelei, an organization of believers. Most of the world revolves around those beliefs.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

It's mostly a formality. Twenty is when true adults lose the obligations to follow the wishes of their parents and can live freely.

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

It's not, it's not! I just have to think about it a little bit, is all.

[Blink. Blinkblink.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, she's having trouble with that one, but let's roll with it. 8D]

I'm not sure I understand. Does that mean you're after the type of company that doesn't involve conversation?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I meant taught how to make their own decisions, if they never had to before.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch mumbles something inaudible, trying not to look embarrassed about it.] ...What about your birthday?

[dissonates]

[DAMN YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE]

Who said I wanted company at all?

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

What about it? I don't even know when it is.

[Action]

[dissonates]

You could try figuring it out. [Colour him curious.]
