Trial 12: I dun wanna grow up!

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Hey Paradisa! I've been napping a lot since Tokyo, so I forgot to ask something that's been in my head. [Yes, there is something in there besides steak and kung-fu]

Uhm, do we age while were in here? Someone told me time stops in our worlds, so I thought our ages stop too. [A sigh]

Sheesh, I never thought I'd think about stuff like this.

Ah... I'm sorry, you won't be getting any older physically while you're here.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

For real? That's actually pretty cool, and a little disappointing. I don't know.

[kindnessing]

Well... it can be both. At least I know my clothes will always fit.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Yeah.

By the way, I haven't heard you in the journal before. But you seem like you've been here for a while now. What's your name?

[kindnessing]

Me? [ kind of an overlong pause here. ] Ken. Ken Ichijouji. It's... nice to meet you.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

It's nice to meet you! I gotta say, your voice doesn't sound familiar. I don't think I heard you from the journal before, are you a new arrival?

[kindnessing]

[ an even longer pause golly this is getting weird and awkward i'm sorry chie ]

Well... In a sense. This isn't my first time in the castle, but I've been away for several years.
