Subject: An Observation???

okay so i've been here a while now and i've noticed something

i don't know the exact process of how the gods or people or whatever here pick people to help out

i don't know if it's completely random or an intricate process to determine who helps out but lately i've been leaning towards the latter for two reasons

one, i haven't met a single jerk or bully or even rude person here which is legit amazing and awesome BUT

SECOND

IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION OR IS EVERYONE HERE LIKE INSANELY RIDICIOUSLY GOOD LOOKING

REALLY THO

ALL THE ADULTS COULD BE SUPER-MODELS AND ALL THE KIDS COULD BE LIKE THOSE ON HIGH SCHOOL DRAMAS ON TV

i mean this is doing wonders for my own self-confidence regarding my looks but FOR REAL I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS

A VALID POINT

[burnttoashes]

[... is this what he has to look forward to with Mercuria? Is this what is going to happen to his baby sister?]

... I would suggest a blindfold, but I feel that would create more problems than it would solve.

[...]

How old are you, anyway?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

thirteen. why do you ask?

[burnttoashes]

My younger sister is nearly your age. I was wondering if this was typical of teenage girls.

I haven't exactly been around them before.

[As Baldr so loves to remind him.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

i can't speak for every teenage girl ever

but my besties and I?

pretty much. yes. very very yes.

[burnttoashes]

... I see.

[Can he pawn this sort of thing off on Baldr to deal with? He's sure hoping.

Then:]

What are "besties"?

[Someone save him.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

best friends! the ones you hang with for life! who are there for you no matter what!

[burnttoashes]

And girls usually have these? Several of them?

[Sheltered prince knows nothing about normal social interaction, news at 11.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

depends on the girl? some are satisfied with just one, but not me! I've got three of the best coolest smartest prettiest most all around AWESOME besties ever!

[burnttoashes]

Perhaps that is what my sister needs... some "besties." She was raised as a princess, which left her little opportunity for socializing with other girls her age.

I hadn't realized how much of an effect a lack of that sort of thing could have.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

OF COURSE!! every girl needs besties!!! If she's here, I'll be her friend! Princesses are awesome!!!

[burnttoashes]

She is not, unfortunately. But you've given me several things to think about, so I suppose I owe you my thanks for that as well as for the offer of friendship. I am sure she would appreciate that much were she here.

[...]

Would you mind if I were to ask you more questions about that sort of thing in the future? About what girls like and need. I was already an adult when my sister was born, and I wasn't around as she was growing up. I fear that I know next to nothing about that topic, and recent events in my world have made quite clear that my lack of knowledge on that front is... something of a problem.

[See: him having to be told that a weapon was not a good present for a preteen girl...]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Of course! I'd be more than happy to help! :D

But I'm sure she knows you care, and that you're doing your best too :)

[burnttoashes]

[Please hold while Nuadha experiences one (1) emotion.]

... it is the very least I can do for her after everything.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

it still means a lot to those you care about :3 go, you, go!

MEI... so sweet...

[burnttoashes]

[HELP HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS]

I appreciate your support.

[And then he's just going to stop responding because that is the best thing to do when you're embarrassed, right? Right.

Sorry, Mei. He's slowly learning?]
