♨ 1 Apple Pie + Eighteen Apples and Cinnamon | Action/Voice ♨

[installing]

[Back dated to the 11th.

Four. Four birthdays in Luceti. Honestly none of them have ever been very exciting, but maybe it's better that way. Calling attention to age, especially now that she's 20, is a little of a scary thought. Instead she'll act like it's a normal day for most of it. Taking her dog for a walk in the late morning, spending time in the smithy, and even grocery shopping a bit. Eventually sometime in the afternoon, before dinner, she'll ask the village a question:]

A question for everyone: How do you feel about growing older here? Whether you already have or not. Is it scary to think about?
[Families? Relationships? Are they even a good idea? Despite the fact those are things she wants.]

[bionically]

I hear you on that one. [A beat.] ...Here's to breaking out of this place.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Yeah, but you don't just want to do nothing because you won't remember this place when you go back home. [At least, that's what Suki thought Winry meant.]

voice;

[oftheyin]

[It was just a rather deep question, so Ran Fan worries.]

Are you worry about growing older here, only to return home to the time you left at?

[menial]

I'm pretty sure so. People don't like getting old anywhere.

[installing]

And how do you feel about it?

[installing]

Ah, sorry. Would it be too rude to ask how old you are?

[installing]

We're more likely to get sent home, but yeah.

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

Yeah, I guess one village is nothing compared to a whole world.

voice;

[installing]

That's the point. I don't want to just do nothing. But... if I do I don't want to leave behind stuff that should be my responsibility.

voice;

[installing]

Not exactly.

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

Definitely not. That last experiment was refreshing in how it brought different places here. But it also reminded me of everything I miss about traveling the world and seeing different places like those. I haven't really been in one place for this long. It's weird. At least it's good to still be with my friends. But... You're thinking of different things you can't do here, aren't you.

[pendantry]

I don't know where he lives. [First of all.] And if he wants...visitors.

[She is working on not thinking things like 'if he would want to see me' with the smithy people. Really working.]

[menial]

Aging?

Well, I guess I don't feel that old yet. And I'm thinking I'll go back eventually, to my original age, so maybe it doesn't matter. Without school or ... anything really to aim at, it doesn't seem to matter that much whether I'm 16 or 18.

[bionically]

Maybe that's true; maybe not. Whatever the case is, I'm not going to give up trying to figure something out. Or to give up hoping someone will, at the very least. The Malnosso can change up this place all they like, but they can't change me. Not unless I let them.

[asobouyo]

Oh, I've been learning about all kinds of cool stories! Like Snow White and the Seven Dwares, and Pinocchio! And I'm learning bigger words, 'cuz I'm getting pretty good at words now. And letters!

[i_speak_softly]

Um... I guess I'm nineteen now.

[godbent]

What are you doing back already?! [Sure the cake and the dinner (or well, more a snack, she didn't want to totally steal Ed's thunder if he wanted to do a dinner date) is done, but the enchantment is not. One of the arms is crawling near the cake and is lifting up a little, but when Haruhi takes hr eyes off it, it thuds down, lightly. Fuuh]

[installing]

Wait, how old are you again?

voice

[installing]

Oh, right. Do you have any new vocabulary homework?

[installing]

What do you mean? This is my house!

And stop this! You're going to break them.

[Action]

[installing]

I'm sure knowing someone cares will help him out. I could give you his address?

[installing]

Wow, I keep forgetting you're only a year behind me.

[installing]

Hey, I agree. It's just hard to be so gun-ho about it after all this time.

[stilldontgotit]

That's basically what's happened to me. Heck, even after I left, the Malnosso aged me back up to where I was.

[Which, on one hand, has eased some confusion while, on the other hand, is still strange.]

And even though a year passed back home, compared to the years I spent here, those memories feel like just a small part of me. An important one, sure, but I still feel more at home right here. In a way, that is kind of scary.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Yeah. [Because apparently that happened to her.] I guess the best thing to do is just keep doing what you're already doing, and have someone you trust to keep the things you've been working on going. Being static the whole time you're here seems... well, awful.
