[wearingguess]

Without a doubt!
Are you?

[lightningruins]

I'm old enough 2 be ur dad

[wearingguess]

So, yes
And I suppose you must be at least


Thirty?
Sixty?
At what age do people normally father children?

[lightningruins]

at least

[wearingguess]

No doubt it is as you say.
So then
Shall we "hook up"?

[lightningruins]

ur place or mine?

[wearingguess]

Send me the location! Should I head over now or wait a bit?

[lightningruins]

[he sends his location info over. It's an apartment, nothing really special there.]

if my roommates bother u when u get here just ignore them

[wearingguess]

Why no, I am sure they are charming. Is there a particular reason they might wish to bother me? Are you not supposed to have guests or something?

[lightningruins]

nah ur just underage

[wearingguess]

?
And they
dislike young people?

[lightningruins]

nah its just illegal where I'm from

[wearingguess]

What kind of absurd law forbids being too young to purchase alcohol??

[lightningruins]

now u want a drink? this is getting expensive.

[wearingguess]

well

I feel a little confused, but
I have no particular desire to buy a drink from your roommates, so
It should be fine, right?

[lightningruins]

what r u expecting 2 happen when u get here?

[wearingguess]

????

Well
I suppose I did not have a specific, detailed sequence in mind, but
I thought we would have sex.
Have I misunderstood something?

[lightningruins]

nah

as long as ur clear on that part

[wearingguess]

Anyway I am almost here. I am not on foot anyway, so shall I enter through your window in order to avoid your roommates and their problem with me?

[lightningruins]

nah just come through the door and freak my roommates out

[wearingguess]

As you wish!

[ and a couple minutes later, there's a knock at the door! ]

[lightningruins]

[Congrats(^{citation needed}) there's a guy answering the door who's... probably the correct person. Lewin's got big furry bat ears, and a mouthful of pointed teeth that both make it pretty clear he's got the Iris moon hitting him pretty hard. Other than that, he's a pretty indiscriminate "adult" age, somewhere in his late twenties or early thirties, with shaggy dark hair falling into his eyes and a bright grin on his unshaven face.

Please ignore exactly how ratty his clothes look. Sometimes you just... only own tee-shirts and boxers with holes in them. That's just his life. At least he looks like he's showered recently (his hair is still damp).]

Let me guess. You're sixteen.

[wearingguess]

[ and the person at the door...
well, he is clearly young, though it's likewise an indeterminate sort of youth; he wouldn't look out of place on a college campus, but no one's going to let him rent a car without the additional fee.
also, if it weren't for the "m" in "16/m/prismaplace," neither his face nor his general body shape would exactly have made the m-ness a foregone conclusion.
(also, he's wearing legwarmers over jeans and a chunky off-the-shoulder sweater, because he's long since begun taking most of his fashion cues from the locals.)
(also, he has no visible animal traits, because as a cordis moonblessed, he's not currently under the influence of any moon; he's just pretty much always down to clown.) ]

Indeed I am! More or less, at any rate. [ not like he could keep precise track of the passing months while he was "growing up," but he's like 90 percent sure that the "sixteen full years" milestone is behind him! ]

So then, are you "Lightning," or are you just vrery good at guessing? —Either way, what charming ears you have, sir!

[lightningruins]

That's me. [He says, still grinning.]

You got a name you want me to call you?

[wearingguess]

I am Titus Alexius! But just Titus is fine.

[ he doesn't go inside since he hasn't been invited, but he does lean past the threshold to look with interest around the room. ]

Are your roommates here?
