That Christmas Feeling, Log 9/??? [Video]

[libraritology]

Does anyone know if there's some sort of protocol about celebrating birthdays in a place where you don't actually get older?

[Wait, what, rewind.]

so it's for sure?
we don't age?
at all?
ugh that sucks!

[texxxxxxxt]

[libraritology]

I'm quite certain that that's the case.
I don't think it will stop anyone from celebrating, though.
Are you concerned about not aging another year?

...hot? :|a

[hamburellakind]

well.
yeah.
i'm 13 so it kind of sucks to imagine being this age forever.
not that we know for sure this is a forever kind of place but.
i dunno, it's kind of creepy actually!

Oh baby.

[libraritology]

Thirteen?

[She has to type out all her numbers, okay? It's just a thing.]

I can understand your frustration, then.
I don't believe I've seen your letter-colour before, though.
Have we met?

[hamburellakind]

yeeeeeah it sucks.
aaaand
i don't think so!
i'm john.
nice to meet you!

[libraritology]

I'm Evelyn, and likewise!
I don't think I've seen you around, but I do tend to spend a lot of time in the library.
Have you spent a birthday here yet?

[hamburellakind]

no.
i came here a little after it.
which means i'll be 13 forever.
fuckkkkk.

[libraritology]

[Such language for such a young man!]

I wouldn't despair if I were you, unless you have some other reason for wanting to be older.
The mansion has a funny way of changing things around for us.
And I doubt you'll be here forever.

[hamburellakind]

[It could be worse. He could be a young English man.]

i guess.
i just have
you know
reasons to want to be older than this.
plenty of them.

[libraritology]

[She's been here long enough to guess a few of those reasons.]

That's understandable.
Girl-troubles?

[She's assuming the worst.]

[hamburellakind]

uh
yes.
that's among the reasons.
that i would list.

[libraritology]

[Oh goodness, how could it possibly get worse than that?]

The other ones aren't bad, are they?
...I suppose the drinking age doesn't really matter here, though.

[hamburellakind]

i don't think so.
i mean
i just
expected to grow up.
you know get taller and stuff.
now i won't.
sucks!

[libraritology]

You'll get taller when you go home.
I know it's hard, but it's something you have to get used to, here.
Try to enjoy it? When you're much older you'll wish you had more time at your age.

[hamburellakind]

yeah everybody says that?
but...
it can be kind of boring being a kid.
and i might be a kid forever.

[libraritology]

Do you think you'll be stuck here forever?
Is that why?

[Hahaha no Evie he'll be stuck at home.
Herp.
Derp.
Derp.]
