[ della has a slightly serious look on her face... but for those who know her, there's definite playfulness in her eyes. ]

This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

I strongly suspect that children and teenagers regard anyone who is older than a young adult as uniformly ancient.

You are not wrong, though I was not expecting a fellow adult to do the same.

"text" aka he's holding his phone up to the camera again

[morganizedchaos]

Wow, rude. I just used the terminology appropriate for my audience.

[Also Siebren clearly hasn't looked at his age on the roster...]

[namethattune]

Had you not considered the fact that your audience knows my name, and that using it may have prevented potential confusion?

[HE'S SIXTY-TWO, NOT DEAD]

[blitzcheer]

Are you two that sensitive about your age? It's not like it's a dig - not where I'm from, anyway.

[namethattune]

Any spot will become sensitive if repeatedly struck.

[It's honestly not too bad, but by this point, it's the principle of the thing.]

[blitzcheer]

[ So, that's a 'yes'. ]

Well, it's never been a strike when I've used it. It just means you're my elder! And then there's uncle...

Anyway, [ anyway!!, ] nothing wrong with being old. It's good to get a long life.

[namethattune]

Do keep in mind that intention does not always translate.

[He gives a brief nod of acquiescence - Tidus does have a point, especially when so many on Siebren's world are lucky to have survived the Crisis.]

Fair enough. That said, now that you know we do not appreciate it, what is your plan of action going forward?

[blitzcheer]

Hey, you two are the ones having a public grumble about me. What are you gonna do going forward?

Maybe talk to the 'teenage brat' you have a problem with? I didn't even call you gramps since after the Nion mission anyway!

[thawed_pride]

They ought to have no excuse. An adult ought to at least recognize a distinction between middle aged and elderly.

[namethattune]

One would think, and yet I remain betrayed.

[Yes, this is a bit melodramatic. No, he does not care; he is rather enjoying it.]

[thawed_pride]

I suppose we must guard our backs carefully, then, if such strikes can come even from those we expect to be sympathetic.

[Never regret melodrama, there is always time for it.]
