birthday

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ Aeris is sitting on a couch in one of the main rooms, legs crossed. She's holding a calender in her hand, looking avidly at the date. She sighs as she leans back to stare up at the ceiling, tapping her fingers.  } 

I feel... old.

{ ooc: It's Aeris Gainsborough's official birthday today~! }

Are you?

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ She blinks and stares at Kairi's general direction, her lips pressed together in thought. }

I don't know, am I? I'm almost 20.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Not too old. Just getting older.

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ She chuckles a bit before setting the calender down to the side of her, shrugging. } Most of the people here are younger, so it's easy to feel like a grandma...

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

I dunno, you're not even twenty yet.

/lol this is technically her sweet sixteen

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

Still- they all look like they're twelve or thirteen... in four years, I'll be sitting here tied in cobwebs. { She sighs before sinking in the couch, eyes narrowed. }

[femmistry.livejournal.com]

Really.

[someone doesn't sound very impressed by that~.]

And why is that?

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

Because almost everyone else here is probably younger than I am. { She sighs again before laying on the couch, staring at the calender. } Aging's never a good thing.

[femmistry.livejournal.com]

You don't seem particularly old.

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

But it's only a few years before I turn twenty, and before I know it I'll be fifty, then maybe even seventy. Time flies so quickly, you know?

[femmistry.livejournal.com]

[....eyebrow twitch.]

You aren't even twenty and you feel old?

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

You?

[just passing by, don't mind him.]

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ She looks over at Demyx, blinking. } ...Yes?

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

[grins a bit to show he's friendly!]

How come?

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ She takes that grin to heart and eases up a bit, placing the calender on her lap before shrugging. } It's hard feeling young when everyone around you seems to be your age or younger... and there's nothing satisfying to do here, and you end up sleeping for more than a day, or you forget your life dreams.

That's what being old is like, right?

{ Wondering if that's the right question to ask Demyx, who doesn't look much older than she is. }

[crosses his arms, reaching up to rub his chin in thought.]

Not sure! The place I came from before this was full of old guys, so it's been kind of refreshing, being around here. For me, at least.

[walks over to take a seat, then rests his arms across his knees.]

Sounds like it's more about being in this place than it is about you.

[lollied.livejournal.com]

You, of all people? No way.

[has a bag of gingersnaps in her hand, grinning.]

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ Aeris tips her head over to see Kairi, chuckling a bit before putting the calender to the side. } Never said I was old... but you can't help but feel that way here.

[lollied.livejournal.com]

[laughs.]

Of course. I mean, when I was ten, I felt old. It's weird to think that right now, I'm half of thirty!

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ She blinks and tilts her head, nodding. } Time flies fast, doesn't it? And this place just makes it all the more worse.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he sits down on the couch and peeks at the calender.]

How old are you?

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ Aeris looks up at Roxas and then back at the calender, shrugging. } I turned sixteen today.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You are old.

[but he seems more impressed than mean.]

[zackyoucard.livejournal.com]

{ That look just received a rather confused one from Aeris. } You say that like it's a good thing.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

The older you get, the more you know.
