[Musa quietly hums a little tune, not one people would recognise, but to her it was an important song. Especially after having that talk with someone else. It just makes her think of her mother more, especially on special days. Like today. Anyway after a few minutes of hums and a line or two of the song she pauses. She had a few things she needed to say anyway, so best get to business.]

So about the talent show. I am going to check out a place someone mentioned to see if I can set it up there. So if anyone can tell me anything about Deesuko Ballia, I'll be happy to hear it. If I can get there sooner rather than later then I can let everyone know the date. I'm still hoping sometime next month.

[She pauses once more, she wants to ask something.]

So... Officially I'm twenty one today, which would make me an adult in certain places, but you know with being here and all I kind of forgot. It also made me wonder if we'll be here so long that we'll all grow up here. Will we end up adapting to this life, or what? It's kind of a bummer to think about, but a question that I guess one will be wondering, you know.

[She soon laughs lightly.]

Or it's just me, no biggie. Anyway that's all I wanted to get across.

You were?

If we're staying here for a looong time, it probably is something that would count anyway.

Yeah. Some folks are looking forward to it.

[Some being him.]

I guess you've got a point. I mean, maybe if the time magic here is that messed up, we shouldn't worry about it too much.

That's great. I'm glad it gathered some interest.

True, but it still make me feel that little older never the less. Being an adult is strange, even though I've probably been one for a while, or at least I've had to act like once for a while.

I think bein' an "adult" is all how ya think of it. Just take a look at the journals, there's plenty of adults who act like kids.

You mean the ones who rush into things? Yeah, I've noticed a few of those and we're not counting the recent curse with adults being children might I add.

Yeah, that was a real nightmare...

Guessing you got caught up in it in some way.

I had to babysit my own Ma.

Wow. That must have been majorly weird.

That's one way to put it.

I'm sure there are plenty of other words, but that one happened to be the first one to come to mind.

She thought I was a pirate that kidnapped her. So. Yeah.

Yeah, not surprised. I mean considering we came here all of a sudden kidnapping was the first guess. Wonder how she came to the pirate conclusion though.

... I, uh, ain't exactly got the prettiest mug.

Ah, so she judged a book by it's cover.

Yeah... but maybe I ought to look for a way to make myself not so... uh... bad-lookin'.

No one should change who they are looks wise because of how people judge them. If you want to change you do it because you want to.

... Heh. Guess that's a good point.

It is a good point and hopefully one you'll think about.
