...I guess you don't wake up and suddenly realize you have new birthday powers, yeah.

[She shrugs.]

Aaaaand when we get back home we pick up from where we left off, so this is a preview of what seventeen is like?

[crimsomatic]

Good point! I can use this time to get good at all the things seventeen-year-olds do!

[ ... ]

What sorts of things do you do when you're seventeen?

[kaboop]

When I was seventeen, I went to Beacon. But I guess you kinda already did that.

[Her face falls slightly. Thinking of how she and Ren first came to Beacon is giving her a major nostalgia attack...accompanied by melancholy, considering that Beacon fell and everything.]

[crimsomatic]

Hm...but I did that when I was fifteen! Does that mean I should be doing what nineteen-year-olds do now?

[ That sounds even scarier, tbh. ]

[kaboop]

[Nora squints at Ruby and peers at her closely. Then she speaks up in a low voice meant to sound mysterious.]

Do you think you're ready for big nineteen-year-old things, Ruby?

[crimsomatic]

[ There is only one way she can answer that question, even if she has nooo idea what nineteen-year-old things entail... ]

You bet I am!

[kaboop]

[To be honest, even Nora has no idea what nineteen-year-old things entail because she's not even nineteen herself. So a moment passes before her clandestine expression fades into one of silly confusion.]

...I think we better get some help from actual nineteen-year-olds. Like Weiss!

[crimsomatic]

[ A look of extreme concern passes over Ruby's face. ]

Wait - does doing nineteen-year-old things mean I have to act like Weiss?!

[ She is not ready to commit to that! ]

[kaboop]

What?! [Nora jumps a little, raising her hands as though in surrender.] No way! I mean, a lot of people turned nineteen and didn't turn into Weiss!

...Right?

[crimsomatic]

I don't know...I don't know enough nineteen-year-olds to be sure!

[ This is a crisis. ]

[kaboop]

Hmmm...is Yang nineteen yet?

Or, or, we could ask around Empatheias for more nineteen-year-olds!

[crimsomatic]

[ IS SHE....possibly?! These time shenanigans are making my head hurt... ]

Yeah, we could! There's got to be a lot of them out there. There's tons of people our age!
