So, um, first off I just wanted to say hi to all the new people! And say that I'm sorry you're kind of stuck here, too. It's tough, but there are lots of nice people here, so if you're having trouble with anything I bet you'd be able to get help. Except going home, that's still a mystery for everyone.

[And then a smile breaks out on her face, and she moves her tablet so the feed shows a wing of one of the gyms with a barre running along a wall, and mirrors attached to that wall. As quickly as she turned the camera away from her face, it's focused back on her.]

I know last time that I mentioned I was looking for a place to dance, and some other people mentioned they'd be interested in the same thing, so I asked the Initiative people if it would be okay if we could have a wing in one of the gyms to turn into a place for the dancers here to practice. And, um, they said yes, so here we are! There's not going to be formal lessons or anything, unless somebody else wants to set something like that up. I just wanted to let everyone know that they can stop in whenever they want to!

Oh, and - if there's anybody interested in going outside the city sometime, I'm looking to take a trip or two. Before anyone gets all worried, I know to be really careful, and I've done it once before.

[With another smile, she leans forward to end the feed.

ooc: this is all mod approved!]

I'm glad that they did too.

Tell me when you wish to go, I will try to have a sword or bow ready for when the time comes.

Maybe a few days from now?

Oh - I didn't know you knew how to fight!

That would be perfect.

Oh yes, my parents did not refuse me when I was younger and showed an interest in learning to defend myself. I've no great interest in battle but I'll not leave myself without protection. Or you.

So you only use it when you absolutely have to? I'm glad.

Of course. Killing anyone, or anything intentionally... I'm not sure that I could stand it.

[A pause, and a grin.]

I'm glad I got a roommate like you, then.

I'm glad to have you for a roommate as well, little one.

[She laughs, a happy sound.]

Hey, I'm not that little!

[What a pretty sound! It makes her laugh very softly herself.]

No, but you are much smaller than I am.

I've got another growth spurt coming, I can feel it!

Do you? Are you sure that you be so tall as my kin and I after it comes?

Well - no, that's probably impossible, but I'll be closer, at least!

You will, indeed. I shall try to restrain myself.

I figure I still have a few more inches before I'm done! How tall are you exactly, though?

The way that heights are measured here, I am just over six feet in height.

[Another giggle, this time a little teasing, but directed at herself.]

Well, I'm just a week over sixteen, so - yeah, I think I'm young enough to manage ten more inches!

Oh, yes. You certainly are. You're already taller than I was at sixteen.

...Really? Oh, oh, right, because sixteen is really young for you, right?

It is, yes. Sixteen would be... six years old to us, in terms of how humans age.

Gosh! That's so weird. I mean, I already feel pretty grown up, so it's just odd to think about.

It's quite normal for my kin and I. It's only natural that the immortal age differently than the mortal.

So how old are you when you're thought of as an adult, then?

When we are fifty but we are fully matured by the time we are one hundred.

Wait, what's the difference between being an adult and being fully matured?

Once we're fully matured, we don't change in appearance. By fifty, we're still growing. I suppose we'd be more young adults than anything by then.
