James: 8 [Video]

[nonmetus]

Hello you lot! [James is grinning brightly, ecstatically, at the feed] Now, I wouldn't expect any of you to know what day it is, but it's one of the most wonderful days of the year. It's the single day ever when I become a bloody adult! Now, I never expected this day to come, especially not in a place like this, but it doesn't stop the fact that I

Ho old do humans have to be to be considered adults?

[A pause]

You shouldn't drink alcohol, its poison.

[Video]

[nonmetus]

I'm seventeen. I think muggles consider themselves adults at eighteen though.

It is, but it's also brilliant fun.

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Huh. I'm seventeen. Drakyr aren't considered adults until they're twenty-five, but they can fuck off, I'm an adult. I'm half-human, anyway, so I guess I get to choose.

[He looks slightly dubious] It stinks, and it makes people act strangely, then feel sick, right? That doesn't sound like fun...

[Video]

[nonmetus]

Well, there you have it. You'd be an adult where I'm from, though it wouldn't give you much for being there.

You only get sick if you drink too much. Have you ever tried?

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Yeah...I guess normal rules don't apply here. So really you could just do whatever the fuck you want, whenever. I doubt anyone would stop you. [A pause] What do you get when you become an adult human?

[Still looking uncertain, he shakes his head] No. It didn't seem like a good idea....have you, or is this gonna be the first time, when you find some?

[Video]

[nonmetus]

I'd be allowed to apparate. Besides that, there's not much. I'll graduate in a year. Normal muggles... I think that that's when they're allowed to drink alcohol and drive cars.

I've done it before, please. I might not be allowed, but that's never stopped me.

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Huh [He's right that it doesn't sound particularly interesting] What's 'apparate'?

[He frowns a bit] You say that like it should be obvious to me, but I've never tried it, and I'm older than you. A bit. [Another pause] So...what happens when you drink it, if it doesn't really make you sick?

[Video]

[nonmetus]

It's where you can transport yourself anywhere only with magic.

It takes you outside of yourself and you just don't care. It makes me happy, giddy, and have the most brilliantly horrid ideas.

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Huh. Well, that sounds useful.

....Hmm. [He still looks uncertain over whether feeling like that would be a good thing or not; he doesn't like feeling out of control of himself] Well...did you find any yet? [He could actually get some, if James needed it, but he's not sure whether its really safe to give it to him or not]

[Video]

[nonmetus]

It is. I'm going to do my best to learn next time we've got our full magic.

No, not yet, unfortunately. I should have stolen some from Gotham, but I...didn't. Not sure why.

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Yeah...I would, if I knew I could learn that kind of magic. I wouldn't have bothered waiting until I was seventeen, though.

Hmm....[He shifts a bit, and reaches up to touch one of his horns uncertainly] Well...I guess I could get you some, if you're sure its not gonna poison you...just because I don't want you fucking blaming me for making you sick, later [Because he didnt want that to sound like concern, obviously]

[Video]

[nonmetus]

I know the basics, but I had no need for it at school. Brooms and not being able to apparate off campus sort of stopped that.

Oh, I'd never blame you even if I was a right prat and got that pissed. But that would be the most brilliant birthday present, Darc.

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

[He looks a bit confused] Brooms?

[A bit more frowning, but then he shrugs; its not his problem if the human makes himself sick, after all] Alright. I can bring it to you now, if you want. You're still in the same suite as before?

[Video]

[nonmetus]

Brooms, best way to travel. We've got them magicked to fly.

Of course. We wouldn't give up a room like this! Would you like to join in the celebration?

[Video]

[darc_nidellia]

Huh...[he frowns a bit as he tries to imagine a flying broom] It seems like a weird choice of object, though...

Alright. Give me a minute and I'll bring it over to you, then. [He hesitates, frowning a little; you know how antisocial he is, James. Though he does wonder how humans celebrate their birthdays....how anyone does really, seeing as he's never celebrated before, as the other knows] Hmm. Don't you want it to be private, or something?

[Video]

[nonmetus]

They're the right size and shape, and hold the enchantment quite well.

Private... not really. Like I said to Harry, the more the merrier! We're all friends, aren't we? I'd hate to celebrate alone.
