Seventeen

[properwhitemage]

...Ten years. I hadn't realized it.

I wonder what's happening at home... it's been so long.

I don't think I can stand this house any longer. I'm going for a walk. Palom, try not to get into trouble.

[Fifteen-year-old Porom can be found walking around Mayfield bundled up and with her dyed pink hair in a long ponytail, looking moody and pensive.]

Is everything alright, Porom?

going with ma'am 'cause... does she have a last name? |D

[properwhitemage]

Oh... yes, ma'am, I just wanted to get outside for a little while.

NOT REALLY in Mayfield it's Ofdarkness but, yeah

[lovethetentacle]

Be careful. You know how the town gets this time of year... People are on edge.

[properwhitemage]

I'll be sure to keep my guard up.

[wrightlaw]

Are you feeling alright, Porom?

[properwhitemage]

Just a bit restless, Mr. Wright. It's nothing to worry about. How are you this Christmas?

[wrightlaw]

Alright, if you say so. It's been okay, really. Iris and I are planning on inviting people over for Christmas. Do you want to come?

[spindashspeed]

Don't let it get you down, Porom. At least your friends are with you, right?

[properwhitemage]

Yes, that's true... perhaps I shouldn't get so irritated at this time of year.

[spindashspeed]

Gotta keep moving, y'know? We'll find a way out someday. We've been here this long, we can't give up. No matter how hopeless it seems, there's always a way to solve a problem.

[kleinefurstin]

Porom, ah! You're welcome to join Iceland and I for dinner tonight.

[properwhitemage]

Really? Thank you, Leona--that would be lovely.

[rainbowbrush]

Hey. Quit brooding, willya?

[properwhitemage]

...I'm sorry, you're right. This sort of attitude isn't productive at all, is it?

[rainbowbrush]

Not really. But that's why I'm here - to boot you back on the right path.
