B1, Day 2 [public channel]

[whattaprick]

[ There are a lot of things people need to do right now: help the Prince's servants get resettled, get started on figuring out who can work on a cure for the petrification, deal with the trauma of dying in a hopefully healthy and non-self-destructive way, show the new people the ropes of what the Carnival has to work with.

Instead, in the morning of the second day since the Prince was defeated, anyone on the radio gets this: ]

So, I've been wondering.

[ The Nightrider's voice, for those who recognize it, has definitely been better. It's a low, hoarse rasp, and the pause at the end is not just for effect, but to actually catch his breath. ]

Just how old is everyone here, anyway? Here, I'll start. I'm ... pretty sure I'm almost sixty. [ A beat. ] ... Maybe.

[ Why did anyone let this man have his radio back again? ]

[ ooc; Lambert's flat on his back in the medical tent for this, feel free to bug him in person and threadjack each other at will. ]

[ Hell yeah he's gonna use his radio to talk, because he can't raise his voice. Annoying as that is. ]

Thanks. Guess I'd like to think I'm well-preserved.

[destiny_key]

[He laughs quietly.]

My mom always said, you'll be happy you look younger when your older. Guess you can tell me if it's true.

[whattaprick]

How you feel is more important than what you look like, don't you think?

Not much use being pretty if you can't control your bladder.

[destiny_key]

[Oh my god why are you two like this.]

I guess? But, I mean, there's a lot of people who don't believe me when I say I'm sixteen.

So I guess it's kind of a mixed bag.

[whattaprick]

[ Because they're them... ]

You should ask Gongenzaka for tips on how to look older.

[destiny_key]

Gongenzaka is also, like, huge. And a centaur.

I am neither of those things.

[whattaprick]

Apparently, he was already pretty big to start with...

[ Things you learn when you're in jail! ]

[destiny_key]

Yeah. He's younger than me, too. No offence to him, but I kinda wonder how he got so big.

[otoko]

[Gon's Daemon, fortunately, has a sense of humor.]

Well, short of having a marvelously tall mother, have you considered heavy weight training, maybe..?

[destiny_key]

I mean, I'm fighting heartless and stuff pretty constantly back home. If that's not gonna do it, I don't know that lifting weights will.

[otoko]

Mmh. ...Fighting is different from constant training... ...you are moving muscles in other ways, focusing them in other ways....

How do you fight, and what do you fight with....these all have their effect...
