Good afternoon,

If I may: what are some activities that those ages 14-18 enjoy engaging in here?
If you're in that age range, or have been in the past, what was a typical day like at home for you at that time?

Are you employed here? If so, what is it you do? Does it align with your skills and interests? Did you have any experience when you began it?

Thank you for any answers you can provide.

To help with ruling your country?

[ .. oh. ] No, I was born. I had a mother. I'm also a research specimen, though.

[moochobliged]

for immortality, but technically yes.

research for what?

[aonibi]

Why? [ why would anyone want to live forever? ]

Stronger SOLDIERs. I'm enhanced.

[moochobliged]

why not?

you can't stop there! enhanced how? did it hurt?

[aonibi]

The only person I know who is immortal doesn't seem happy about it.

[ he sidesteps the question of pain a little uneasily. ] I can't talk about the professor's methods, but I'm stronger and faster, difficult to injure, and I heal extremely quickly. My skill with magic is better than anyone else's at home, as well.

[ there's other things, but that sums up the parts shinra cares about. ]

[moochobliged]

that's one person. besides, it wasn't for me, so i don't really know.

[In any case, this SOLDIER thing is starting to sound weirdly close to "King Bradley minus the homunculus part," which is, hm, not great. It's definitely wise to pivot, yes--]

there aren't any good methods for human experimentation. well, no wonder you're looking for new hobbies!

[aonibi]

I guess there could be people who enjoy it.

The professor is a genius, but yes, it would be nice to experience more of life here.

[moochobliged]

[ThE pRoFeSsOr iS a GeNiUs—no, he's going to behave, he's being nice.]

do you want to come climbing with me?

[aonibi]

[ he's doing his best to be normal, ling!! ]

Climbing what?

[moochobliged]

[It's not working!!]

anything i want, more or less. tall building? a clocktower? you can pick.

[aonibi]

[ doesn't he gets points for the attempt??? ]

Why? Is this training?

[moochobliged]

[He can have one crisp high-five, for trying.]

no! it's for fun! and getting the lay of the land.

[aonibi]

[ ... for fun?? climbing things??

well, he's supposed to be trying stuff, so.. ]

Okay. Then I suppose it should be the tallest vantage point in the area.

[moochobliged]

[It's parkour time.....]

good choice! now, do you actually know where that is, or should i start asking locals?

[aonibi]

It can't hurt to ask the locals. Some of the apartment buildings seem to be quite tall, though.

[moochobliged]

then we'll start there and see what else is higher! are you good at climbing?

[aonibi]

I suppose so, in a way. I usually just jump from point to point.

[moochobliged]

vertically...? either way, that's good, you're going to need a good jump. i was worried you might need gear.

[aonibi]

There are always handholds that can be found or made, and I heal quickly if I fall, anyway. [ which he never does anymore, so it's fine!! ]
I'll meet you whenever you like.

[moochobliged]

try not to fall, i don't want to leave you behind! let's meet on the roof of the inn. in an hour?

[aonibi]

Alright. I'll see you there.
