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

[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.]

Depends on the country.

It's 18 in my country, though.

:) Where I come from, we don't have any big parties or anything but I'm pretty certain that when you turn 18, you're an adult.

For us I don't think there's any set age. It comes down to when you start taking responsibility for yourself. [Wryly.] Some people are still kids no matter how old they get.

[Sup, Asch. She's answering that question via the journal, but she's actually lurking in the corner of Good Spirits there, drink and all. |D She's just lazy.]

18... younger than expected.

Eighteen again. I thought teenagers were supposed to want parties.

That probably happens on any world.

[Which is about where he stops, because what with it not being too busy - he wouldn't be there otherwise - he glances around, because he swore he saw her in the bar already...]

Used to be younger, long time ago.

[Y-younger, what.] How young?

I think it's twenty in my world, but I don't know about any parties or ceremonies or anything like that.

Twenty... [Same age, but no big deal made of it? Interesting. And kind of unexpected.] I wonder why.

Why twenty, or why no big parties?

Either. [...N-not that he'd ever want a party, it's just. Kind of a big deal.]

I guess they just picked an age... um, whoever "they" are.

It could have been the Order, on Auldrant. They decide everything for everyone.

Everything? You mean, who people can marry and stuff like that?

Sometimes. The Score predicted everything from world disasters to what people should have for dinner each day. Some people will use it to find their spouse or just let it happen naturally, but either way, the Order of Lorelei knows about it.

That's creepy... I don't think I'd want someone else knowing everything about my life before I did, especially not bad things that were going to happen. Unless... wait, if you found out about something bad that was going to happen to you, you could try to change it, right?

...It doesn't work that way. The Score is meant to be final. If something bad is going to happen to someone, all they ever do is fear and wait for it. Trying to change the future is forbidden. [And for anyone who tries, there's people like him around. ...Until Van's plot started, anyway.]

That's terrible... how is that fair at all?

No one said it was fair. But that's how the world was run.

[Yeah, just...gonna come out and say it because he's a jerk.]

Oh, is it your birthday already, Asch? Forgive me for not baking you a cake.

[...Dammit, Dist, you're just begging to stay on his bad side, aren't you?]

No one's saying that.

It's 20 back home. There's a national holiday for it... people usually go to a ceremony then.

A national holiday for turning 20? [That sounds like even more of a big deal than Auldrant's ceremony.]

[Asch has a good side?!]

Taken out of context, your words say more than enough.
