[ Elden's been fiddling with this tablet thing for awhile. Want to know how long? Because for the last ten minutes his tablet has been going on and off voice, you can catch little snippets of; ]

Damn it, work you piece of-

For the love of- why does there need to be so many buttons-UUGGGGH-

Finally, though he manages to stay on audio; ]

Right, so, hi everyone, my name's Elden. We've been here a few days now and I'm pretty sure everyone's already looking into whatever's going on here.

I mean, it's a big spooky, dark town, who wouldn't want to figure out what the hell was going on. So, there were a couple of things I wanted to bring up.

One is I think we need to start compiling all the info we've found out about this place so far. Even the stuff they told us when they got here. If we're ever going to figure out why this place is perpetual night that's probably what we should do. Maybe we could keep some kind of log book in the Inn to keep us up to date.

[ He pauses before bringing up his next point. ]

Second, if there's anyone willing to go into the forest with me? I'm not sure what's in there but it'd be dangerous to go in by yourself. Especially if there are undead lurking in that forest.

All right, well that's all for now. Thanks.

17???

[spitefullight]

So, what's the difference between you and me?

[primordialerebus]

I'm nearly a senior and you're like. Freshman. Big difference.

[spitefullight]

....What the hell is a freshman? Because that's not a term I'm familiar with. Like....are you saying I'm clean? And why are you calling yourself a senior? My best friend is seventeen and he's definitely not old.

[primordialerebus]

Right. Different universes. Basically, you're a baby in terms of young adults while I'm firmly in the young adult range.

[spitefullight]

....Okay, fine...I guess you've already had children by now then.

[primordialerebus]

What no!?!?! Are you calling me a slut???

[ Said attitudes do not reflect that of the players thank you for coming to my TED talk. ]

[primordialerebus]

[ Shit shit shit she said something shitty. ]

Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!

[spitefullight]

[ There's the deepest and longest of sighs here. Okay. So, this girl, whomever she was. Definitely had things much different wherever she was from. So, he exhales through his nostrils and begins to calmly speak; ]

No....quite the opposite actually. People where I come from are usually married by seventeen and start having kids.

You know, boys AND girls. Because here's the thing...

[ Then pointedly he'll say with an edge to his voice; ]

whatever a teenager does in your world? It's different for me. So, calling me a baby? It's incredibly insulting.

People my age already start work to feed their families because there isn't enough gold to go around.

[primordialerebus]

... Man that sucks. Sorry.

[ She can't imagine being responsible for a human life at this age... well beyond that of a superhero anyways. Raising a baby though? God, no thanks. ]

And ok look I wasn't calling you a baby. I said sophomores are like the babies of the highschool world. Also kids do that where I'm from too so like.

[spitefullight]

It's fine. It's how it works where I'm from.

[ However, going to school and work? Hm. ]

Sounds like you guys have it easy. Kids don't get the option to go to school unless they're rich where I'm from.

[primordialerebus]

(｡•́︿•̀｡) Okay. Still, sorry.

[ She feels kind of bad now. He's from a different time so of course he'd have different feelings about his own indepedence considering what the past was like. ]

Oh, yeah. It used to be like that for us too but people kind of realize that education is you know... important. So yeah. Free for all now.

[ A pause. ]

Well, if you're rich, you can obviously pay to go to fancier schools but you know. Basically everyone can read now at least.
