We've been getting gifts delivered to the palace all week now-- even more so than usual, because nobody is coming for a celebration themselves. It's mostly artwork or heirlooms; they're never personal, obviously. Yesterday we received an antique vase that looks good in the portrait hall, but other than that, nothing has been all that interesting or of note.

I'll be off-world, and I'll be going out to a spa with someone in the afternoon, but other than that I have nothing planned. It'll seem odd for my birthday to just be like any other day, especially since it's my sixteenth.

Is this what it's like for commoners?

How would you know what my outlook is?

Maybe because you more or less posted it in a journal entry.

And I said that that seemed odd-- after all, turning sixteen is a big deal on my world. But it's not like it can be helped.

I suppose it would be then, although it's the 18th birthday that's the big teenage birthday over here.

What happens when you're eighteen?

In my world at least, you get considered an adult by everyone else.

Oh right, I forgot some worlds have an actually age of adulthood.

Earth?

Yes, one of the many versions of the planet.

I know, I've been there.

Alright.

What country?

Tokyo, Japan.

Everyone's from Japan.

Well, excuse me. No-one can help where they're born after all.

I didn't say it was your fault. It still gets old.

I guess.

You're from there; I doubt you would understand.

So? Try me.

I already explained it. Earth-- particularly Japan-- is vastly overrepresented.

Well, don't act like I won't understand.

Why do you think you would?
