[Day in the life?]

*Here we have... Bulma? Standing near the lake and skipping stones*

This is not how I thought I'd spend my birthday...

*Bulma is nineteen today, but she doesn't look a day under... fifty. Can anyone cheer her up?*

What's wrong?

[miss_34_c]

*whining* I'm ooooolllld!

[honorsfountain]

Camp virus?

[miss_34_c]

Gods, I hope so! You, too?

[honorsfountain]

[laughs] No, I'm a counselor here. At least you have the benefit of knowing that you'll age well, then.

[miss_34_c]

Oh, gods, I'm so sorry! *looking around for a rock to crawl under*

[honorsfountain]

It's all right. I like being my age.

[miss_34_c]

Well, at least you're still pretty. Um. I'm Bulma Briefs. And I should only look nineteen.

[honorsfountain]

Thank you. You are too. I'm Cordelia Vorkosigan.

[miss_34_c]

Thanks~ I-it feels really weird, though. It's nice to meet you, Cordelia. I'll be sure to look you up once I'm back to normal, too!

[honorsfountain]

I imagine it would be. If I might give some advice, I'd make note of where your aches and pains are now, so that you can take advantage of that knowledge when you return to your normal self. You may be able to avoid them.

[miss_34_c]

Oh, wow - that's great idea! I don't have any yet, but I'll be sure to pay attention to everything!

[honorsfountain]

You have an unusual chance here. Seems like a good idea to take advantage of it.

[miss_34_c]

I guess it does. Rosalyn suggested I work on a face cream for when I really get old. I just hope I go back to normal soon...

[honorsfountain]

Make one yourself? Are you a cosmetic scientist then?

Hopefully it won't be too long. The only virus I've had lasted only a day.

[miss_34_c]

No, my specialty is mechanics and robotics, but I love just about anything scientific. It would be a fun challenge.

Y-you're lucky, then. I think the longest one I had lasted ten days. *sniffling*
