Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!


[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN

It certainly can be in the end. As for a Aeon denying anyone access to its Path or something that would certainly lend towards using more of their power so keenly, I have yet to hear of such a phenomenon.

All my sources so far would point towards no evidence of that occurring. That is not to say it is an impossibility. An Aeon should have the capability to do as you might inquire into.

Though, I believe it to be something so rare that they may not ever bother truly considering it. Even Nanook, the Aeon who resides upon the Path of Destruction, would be hard-pressed to care.

[ But, once again, Jing Yuan doesn't exactly think it hasn't happened. If it has, he simply doesn't know about it, and/or no one has had the opportunity to record it.

Such as it is, he suspects that if it does, if an Aeon should take an action to that extent, they might endeavor next to wipe clean the life of whoever they have chosen to block. Though even that feels a little extreme; Aeons don't usually pay mortals that much amount of attention in that regard. ]


Haha, I find that a reasonable question indeed, so no worries about that curiosity; I do find it to be quite a charm point.

As it is, there are opinions that will be bound to be questionable in the society I am used to, though certainly not because they fear the differences in others' ability.

It might instead become centered around someone's lifespan instead; and not a fear of others', but rather a lack of their own.

Strange. Maybe they don't consider someone outside of their own kind capable of being a threat, or they don't see it as an offense.

[So, business as usual for the supernatural as far as he's concerned, though perhaps with a tiny bit more respect.

As far as the talk about lifespan......... this is new territory for him, used to the black and white divide between the massive lifespans of the supernatural who considered humans to be so fragile and hard to hold onto - a brief flicker of a life and not much more. Among those that considered themselves humans, though...

Well. No, was that right?]


You said you considered yourself human, despite what it would mean to those familiar to "what you were", correct? Is that what you mean, when you talk about lifespan?

Mm. Definitely both.

Aeons are not killable by standard or even powerful means; only by one another or whatever can hope to match their power.

[ Or mysterious, yet powerful forces, as it were. There are some tales about Aeons dissipating for little to no reason, and the like.

As for the other matter, well. Things are certainly quite a bit more complex where this is concerned. ]


Oh, certainly. I am well aware that it is fairly common for 'humans' to live short lifespans outside of the Xianzhou Alliance. Though there do exist indeed humans who do live the predictable short life that most would be familiar with, on the Xianzhou. Whereas I would be categorized as a Xianzhou Native who is a long-lived 'immortal human'; though I can't always be sure that others who know this information would think the same.

Whether they have more knowledge on this aspect or not.

[ Jing Yuan is well-aware that immortality isn't something considered natural for humans, and that technically, long-lived humans on the Xianzhou Alliance have certain...differences biological-wise other than simply 'being immortal' than normal humans. Which means that even if he considers himself human, by a strict definition, others might not if they knew the exact/strict details.

Including, of course, the issue of Mara. ]
