I know you wanted different icons for this account, but I'm not sure that "I will find all the prettiest art" was the best way to pick them. You do remember that I'm around five years older than most of these, right?

Besides, I'm not going to be caring for my appearance much. Not after...

Well. There's time, yet. [Faint, weary amusement.] You don't have a deadline for that update - and there are still adventures you want the boy I was to go on.

... Where's my little rubber stamp that says, "APPROVED"?

I need one of those.

[the_jedi]

...Sometimes, you manage to surprise me.

[remember_cephiro]

It is pretty surprising that I don't have one, but that's probably not what you mean.

[the_jedi]

No... I wouldn't have taken you for having shoes like those.

[...he's not familiar with inked letter-stamps.]

[remember_cephiro]

Shoes...?

[ headscratch-- OH! ]

No, no, not like that. They're these things-- [ makes some hand motions ] ... It's hard to explain, since nobody here uses paper.

But, you'd have a piece of paper, and then there'd be this-- well, you could use rubber, but back home we just used carved wood. But it was about like this [ this size ] and it would have some kind of design on the bottom, which you'd press into a pad of ink [ like so ] and then you'd stamp it on the paper. [ like this! ]

[ TA-DA HE HAS EXPLAINED STAMPS. Someone gave Cephiro caffeine, I think. ]

[the_jedi]

We have sheets of flimisplast. They're similar.

...Why do you want one?

HTML IS NOT MY FRIEND RIGHT NOW

[remember_cephiro]

I don't, really, I was just expressing [ blushes with embarrassment as he finishes the sentence ] ... approval.

Of the aforementioned icon-choosing strategies.

[ looks down. ]

Nevermind, Luke. The moment is over.

<3

[the_jedi]

Don't worry about it.

♥

[remember_cephiro]

[ That's a lot like telling grass not to grow. And this is a facepalm of embarrassment. ]

[the_jedi]

It's all right.

I'm flattered, but - sorry, I only like humans.

[remember_cephiro]

That's-- I didn't mean it like that...!

[the_jedi]

Either way, it's all right.

[tobeajedi]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being easy on the eyes.

[the_jedi]

It could give the wrong impression, though. People might not take me seriously.


...Then again, that can be useful.

[tobeajedi]

Oh yeah, I know how that goes. Not from looks, though. You just have to ignore that.

[the_jedi]

People underestimate you. Because of your age? [A faint smile plays around his lips.] I know what that's like.

[tobeajedi]

Yup. It's a real pain in the neck, isn't it?

[the_jedi]

It is. People tend to come around, eventually. For the most part, they mean well.

I'm Luke Skywalker.

[tobeajedi]

That's true. It's usually because they don't think about you--once I showed what I can do, it was all right.

Vima Sunrider. Nice to meet you!

[the_jedi]

Sometimes you have to prove yourself many times. Sometimes they'll hold your mistakes against you. But most of them have reasons for it...

Likewise. You're a Jedi, then?

[tobeajedi]

You just have to keep following the right path until they can see it, too.

That's right! Like you.

[the_jedi]

It can be difficult... But most things worth doing are.

Is your mun still looking for a game? Reserves opened today - though the version of me who's there just now is only about thirteen.

[tobeajedi]

She's thinking about it. It takes her years to think.

She says she's going to put me on memes, though. At least that's something.

[the_jedi]

Better than nothing.

May the Force be with you, whatever she decides. [Faint smile.] Or if she doesn't.

[tobeajedi]

You too. And I'll see you around here, too!

[the_jedi]

I'm looking forwards to it.

Don't hesitate to bother my younger self if you have the urge. I don't think he meets enough people under twenty.

[tobeajedi]

Oh, I will. I'll let him know that I have your permission, too.

It'll be nice to meet someone near my age for once.

[the_jedi]

I'm sure he'll be thrilled. [He won't be thrilled. Luke is trolling.]

[tobeajedi]

[she can tell X3 ]

I can't wait to see the look on his face.

[the_jedi]

[and taking pity:]

If he gets too thrilled, come up with some kind of name for me. 'The pretty one' or something - I don't mind if it's a little insulting, either. That will even him out a bit.

[tobeajedi]

Maybe I should just be careful all around. Insulting you is still insulting him, when you think about it.

[the_jedi]

It is. Time travel and separate journals and so on make it easier to imagine that we're different people.

I don't think he'd mind if it was mild, though. And not something that would refer to him at that age, like floppy-haired.

[He touches his.] I keep meaning to have this cut.

[But it's so pretty!]

[alwaysafighter]

Are your looks honestly something that would require much worry over? [Because it's not like she cares. Really.] Especially with everything else going on at that charming home away from home?

[the_jedi]

I'm just not sure why that was a major criteria for my mundane. It's not really going to matter.

[alwaysafighter]

Exactly.

[A beat.]

So, when do you think you're going to do this aging up thing? Not that it isn't exciting watching you go through the throes of puberty...

[the_jedi]

I don't know. The mundane loves playing me as a child - and when I'm that young she doesn't need to be concerned about what I'd do about my father. It's an issue for her.

This isn't a canon point where I know you yet, though. [There was that time they sorta worked together with the Hand of Judgment, but they didn't exactly talk then.]
