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.]

[fierybluebird]

Well, if I wasn't someone who aged, I'd be a lot shyer about it for starters.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Why? What's anyone else gonna do about it?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

There's a lot of questions that would go into such a thing. Living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Not living forever, necessarily. Just not aging.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Isn't that just as bad? Watching everyone else around you grow older and pass you by?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Not if it's the same for everyone.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

That seems too good to be true.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

That's just how Neverland is.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Anyone who's there doesn't age?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Exactly.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Must be an incredible place.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Damn right it is. Otherwise I wouldn't have stayed there.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Where else would you have gone?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

I dunno. Back wherever I was before.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Descriptive. Though I guess anything would pale in comparison.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

You got that right.

[Even this place, with it's free stuff and the fact that you could learn magic here.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Your family is all there?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Everyone important is.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I guess that really would be paradise then.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

That's why I'm a little moody.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Fair enough. If I had a perfect place and all my family there, I'd be pissed off to wind up in a new world too.

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

Right?

Guess it's not the same for everyone.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. The place and time I'm from are far less pleasant than this. The only reason I like it is for my family and I have some of them here.

Maybe some of your nakama will turn up, eh?

[Voice]

[lostpunk]

My... huh?

Maybe. I don't know how this all works.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Family, comrades, best friends. People you keep close.
