text ♔ I.D. reads 'Agito'

[akito]

Turning 16 is supposed to be a big deal or whatever right?
What kind of shit are you supposed to do for it?

And before anyone asks - no, it's not for my birthday. Mine was a couple months ago.

Who's birthday is it? I have an event planning business, and I'd be happy to help you with a birthday party.

[akito]

Akito's.

[subourbon]

Akito? I thought you were twins!

[akito]

He found our father first and so the day they met became his birthday.
I was discovered later, so my birthday reflects that as well.
You of all people know the bullshit 'separated at birth' strangeness.

[subourbon]

[She's choosing to ignore that last part.]

Did you want this party to be a surprise?

[akito]

I'm not gonna hide it but I'm not gonna actively tell him either.
He never had one before so he wouldn't see the point in it.

[subourbon]

He's never had a birthday party before???

[akito]

No. 'Friends' weren't really a thing for either of us for a long time.
Then shit was too crazy to think about birthdays.

[subourbon]

Let's meet in person somewhere. It will make planning this easier.

Sixteen is still a child amongst my people.

[akito]

Amongst these people it means no more need for a legal guardian.

[herstarlight]

Are you certain? That is far too young.

It's practically 1/6 of the average lifespan.
This shit is all relative to whatever lifespans you're used to.

[herstarlight]

The lives of Men truly are short.

I did not realize.

he is the most polite

[akito]

All a shorter lifespan means is a need to utilize each day to the best of your ability.
Making the most of every moment, or whatever the fuck they say.

So what kind of non-human thing are you supposed to be?

:(

[herstarlight]

Every race - no matter their longevity - must do so.

I am a Silvan Elf from Arda.

one day we will tag when i am not heading to bed !!!

[akito]

Elf?
First one of those I've met here.
The video game and fantasy nerds will lose their fucking minds over you.
Which if you don't know are basically types of stories people can play with. Super popular.

So you live amongst nature in the forest, and use bows and blades and magic?
That kind of shit?

[herstarlight]

I do not know how one would play with a story, but I admit there is much I do not know of this world.

My people are often called Wood Elves. We reside in the forests and often serve the Sindar. I use a bow and dual daggers when I hunt.

[akito]

It's not that hard to figure it out. And there are lots of morons willing to help anyone out with everything.

Stealth and agility over strength then.

[herstarlight]

Do you mean like children play? Make believe?

I would not call them morons. I would be in poor shape without them and I believe you would be too.

All Elves are strong. We can also travel great distances on foot without tiring.

[akito]

Like how these things can show video of people. Except the video is like stories and fairy tales you can control and play through.

I'd be fine without them. It makes shit easier sure.
But I'm well-versed in not having any morons around to help.

Stamina is different than strength.
Strength is like being able to punch through rock or whatever.

What the hell do sylvan elves do for birthdays anyway?
