Hey, how many kids are in this town?

...Do you mean actual kids, or are you including ancient and mature demons who the simpletons in charge classified as kids because humans have no concept of time?

1/2

[...what]

[memoryofmyself]

Actual kids.

[yournewoverlord]

So I don't have to respond if there's a roll call. Excellent!

[bogusmagicker]

. . . Drones?

[memoryofmyself]

Actual kids, I mean.

[bogusmagicker]

To age . . . ?

[memoryofmyself]

Whatever you consider a kid, I guess. Maybe to about fourteen?

[working_is_hard]

I am a child, afu.

[memoryofmyself]

Well, that's one. How old are you?

[working_is_hard]

I am 264.

...THAT IS NOT A KID, AFGHANIS-TAN.

[memoryofmyself]

...What?

[dodo_master]

Hard to say! People are always coming and going, and if you count drones, or if you count people who the town counts as children but they really aren't...

In conclusion: haven't the foggiest.

[memoryofmyself]

That's not even helpful!

[dodo_master]

Well the point I was trying to make is that I don't think your question can be properly answered.

[memoryofmyself]

Fine. Right now, how many actual kids, up to age fourteen, would you say are here?

[radiant_will]

You think someone has actually gone around and counted all of them?

[memoryofmyself]

You never know. You'd think people would wonder about it, at least.

[radiant_will]

I guess. Is there some reason you need to know?

[memoryofmyself]

Just asking. There's probably a lot of worried parents back home.
