But if she is not, then don't forget I am dating Sally... so I don't know from what time you label people as "adult", in any case don't forget I have a herd to care of; even a teenager can do that, however still I think then at least one of us, phantom or me, should be either at least 20, or both of us being at least around 18. Personally I think 18 or so would be the optimal age for me.
Nah, we're not actually married...but we do act like a married couple. Anyways, I don't imagine myself to be very old...even if married, people do get married at a young age. I mentioned it before but I think Kath and me should probably be around our RL ages...so something like 19-21. Kitanna's my twin so she's whatever age I end up being. Legate, you were originally our older brother...but have you changed your mind and decided to be younger? Either way works for me. Though I must admit, I found the idea that a 15-year-old Aganzir used to date a 20-something Legate rather amusing.

Well, we could all just pretend we're from Alabama where apparently incestuous marriages are legal.

I did not! That was actually Roa who brought that up, for reasons unknown to me. I have no problem with being eventually a younger brother, though. Seemingly, given that Aganzir-thing and also Sally, of whom I have no idea how old she is (or I thought between 15 and 20 but nowadays I am not sure of anything anymore), I shouldn't be 20 probably. I said 18 or such. 15 is maybe too little. But whatever. Just the heck tell me how old the other people who concern me are and I can decide whichever way.

Speaking of that, people, I think we are going to have enough with who's whose relative in which way to make it the topic of the game without any useless werewolves, the more Wizards. I can just see someone posting "And as I said, I suspect my cousin..." and others asking unisono: "Erm, WHICH cousin?"

I already pity the narration-writer as well

Hmmmm. I figured I was a bit older....then again, since I am my Lommy mommy's apprentice, it makes sense. Either way works for me. Whatever's in the best interest of my darling Legate.

And this would make healing such a lucrative occupation in this village - I can only imagine what genetic diseases people could be having here. Nerwen and I are going to be sooo rich.

I made sure we're safe, phantom dear.

Oh, yes, of course, we'll always have to refer to others by their names.

Right, so my lovely daughter Aganzir now has both of her dashing cousins in love with her, the little minx. You go, girl.

As for The Ka, my second daughter....now my original idea was that I returned to the village some years ago, with one child in tow, and opened my chocolate shop. I was a very young mother, ahem, so it would be perfectly fine for Aganzir to now be in her mid/late teens, ie old enough to date.
If Ka wishes to be somewhat younger, perhaps her birth occurred *after* my return to the village. How she came into the world, I am not prepared to say. I am a black sheep, after all, and we black sheep keep our own counsel. Ka, are you ok with being fatherless?

Hee hee, oh of course I am fine with that.

Quite to tell the truth that storyline is close to how my actual existance is, so I should have good enough practice here.

Though, never have been the younger sibling, hmm I should probably go ask my brother for some tips and tricks.

Aganzir, I promise to be the archetypal annoying-around-boyfriend-younger-sibling. It will be hard, but I'll try my best to be protectively annoying and suddenly concerned.

Yay, to be a kid again. My inner child thanks you Lalaith.


Oh, btw, Lalaith, out of all of homeless dogs that periodically rome the village I've adopted a playful and large hound named Bavo. Can I keep him? I promise to care for him and teach him to protect the chocolate... and us!

So... exactly what services are we offering the afflicted villagers? Genetic counselling? Stem cell therapy?

Oh, and I've just realised– there's a traditional role missing in this community: the Village Idiot. It stands to reason we'd have one. Any volunteers?

Thank you. I'm grateful that you're willing to make such an effort, and in turn I will do my best to show a good example to you.

Oh look, whom do we have here! Welcome back, Shasta!

As for both you and Nerwen: You picked a good time to post, Shasta. While looking at your two posts, it really looks like a question and immediate response

Both, and more! We're well-rounded healers.

*whispers* Besides, they all don't know anything.
