So there's all sorts of people here, right? Got all kinds of crazy powers and stuff?

[Rufio is sitting in the center of town on the edge of the fountain, munching on an apple he's just nabbed out of the grocers. (The whole imaginary food thing wasn't working out for him so well out of Neverland.) He wishes the store was manned, in a way. There isn't much of a thrill pilfering food this way.]

Which ones of you don't age?

[Because he's realizing that in this place that list isn't going to include him.]

[knightofratatosk]

Um... not really. At least, I don't think so.

... it's kind of complicated.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Seems that way with a lot of people here.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. I don't feel quite as weird that way.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Good for you, I guess.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

So what about you? Are you one of those people with crazy powers?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Now maybe that's something I'm not willing to give away.

[Nope.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

But it's not fair to expect other people to tell you something like that if you aren't even going to say whether or not you have them too.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

I don't care about what powers people have, though. That's not what I asked.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Wouldn't not aging count as a power too?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Would it? Never really thought about it like that.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I think so...

[Now he's starting to get confused too.]

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

I think of a power more as something you can do

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I guess so, but then what would you call something like not aging? It's not something normal people do, so it's got to have some kind of a special name...

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

What's wrong with just saying "not aging"?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

But that makes it sound kind of boring.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Is it really that big of a deal?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I thought it was neat... sort of.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Ah well. Call it whatever you want.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't even tell you my name. I'm Emil. What's yours?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Rufio.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It's nice to meet you! I hope I could help you at least a little bit with your question, even if I'm not really sure myself.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Every little bit helps, I guess.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm glad, and besides, you seem like a nice person.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Who, me? [He laughs a little.] Are you serious?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yes. Is something wrong?
