You know, seeing these older mes around makes me think one thing in particular: Pepper was so wrong about the facial hair thing.

So when are you getting around to finding me some place to go? It's getting really boring without a proper lab or at least something to work on. It can't possibly be as hard as you're making it out to be, right? You look through some games, you find one you can write the app for, and there we go. Just make sure it's somewhere I get to keep the suit, alright? And Extremis better be staying with me too, there is no way am I giving that up. I'll even settle for having it restricted to my own equipment or something.

And another thing... the lurking is getting creepy. No, seriously, with a capital C and everything. You're never going to "get a good grip on me" if all you do is sit on the sidelines and worry about messing up before you even try. I promise I'll go easy on you.

No kidding. At least now she's finally starting to look around, even if it's slow. Better than sitting around doing nothing forever.

Yeah! Mine was afraid she'd mess me up too - no one plays me under nineteen - but it's fine!

Always tough being the younger, less popular version of someone, huh.

Yeah. In the beginning there were muns going "Why would you do that!" and "But he can't do anything!"

[Luke rolls his eyes.]

I'm thirteen, not a baby. Maybe I can't do all the things I do when I'm older, but I can do some of it, or learn to do it, I'm not helpless or stupid, and there is canon.

And I thought it was bad enough for me just being younger than the one most people know. Sounds like you've got it way worse. You seem like you can handle yourself though.

I do all right. I mean - I need help sometimes, but I know when that is and ask for help and all. Plus there's always my rifle.

The big thing was how there were people in my game who knew future-me and wouldn't stop talking about it. So... if you do go anywhere, you need to expect some of that, if anyone there knows the older you. It's really annoying.

I think the worst part about that is it won't even be a future me. We're two different universes, as far as I can tell, and not just timelines. The older me doesn't make his armor until way into adulthood, but I made mine when I was sixteen.

Huh. Nice! I still wouldn't be surprised if people thought it, though. Or expected you to be more like him, in... whatever ways.

- You know, you could look at

the_library. It's pretty slow but a lot of people will keep a thread going for ages. We've got an older-you, but they let more than one in. It's not a bad place to voice test.

Yeah, that's basically inevitable. I'm not entirely looking forward to it, even if my mun is.

Yeah? Maybe we'll check it out sometime soon. The mun's taking a quick look over it and likes what she sees so far, but we'll have to wait and see for certain.

It's going to be frustrating. Especially if you ask people not to talk about it and they do anyway. [More eyerolling.]

Well, good luck whatever happens! If they were okay with me, they'd be okay with you, I'd think, and if people anywhere think your mun's being weird for picking a less popular version, well people will think what they want.
