[Hi everybody, it's your friendly neighborhood clone in a boat. He's on candle watch.]

Hey. Boredom's chewing holes in my brain right now, so let's play a stupid game I just made up: Just guess my age. Anybody who gets the year right on the first try wins bragging rights. If you get the month right too, you get to be fleet admiral. [That's something you can be for a bunch of dinghies, right?]

Also--anybody got any paint? Bonus points if it's waterproof. [He's got plans. Completely frivolous plans.]

[Also on candle watch. This beats running over ingredient lists in her head, so she turns her video on.]

Thirty-five.

[sergeant_slick]

Really? I look that old already? [Yikes.] The army's supposed to age you, but I didn't think it did it that fast.

[reparo]

Sorry! You seem so serious, you know?

[bearshermark]

29.

Mmn. Eighth month.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

[Oof.] Good guess, but you overshot it. Apparently I've been fooling you all into thinking I'm mature.

Like my age-ish, so -- mid-twenties?

Also gonna say, like, September or October. [a beat] Ninth or tenth month. [and another] You're probably a Libra or a Scorpio, right?

[that last one, he's not going to clarify, thanks]

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

Closer than anybody else so far, but you still guessed too high. Try again.

Yeah, nah. I'm an Aiwha. [Right back at you, mate]

[blackscales]

Am I disqualified?

[ It wouldn't be a guess, after all. He remembers. ]

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

If nobody guesses it, you're fleet admiral by default.

And at this rate, I think we can just call it. Congratulations on your new command, Admiral.

[badlypoisoned]

Fleet admiral? My, that is quite the prize...though it seems a little suspicious.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

It's absolutely suspicious. Nobody's first try has even gotten the decade right. [There's a freebie for you right there.]

[softheartedshizun]

Two.

[ He was being sarcastic. ]

If we're going to have an age guessing game, guess mine.

[sergeant_slick]

So far, you're the closest anybody's gotten on a first guess. Good start. Try again?

[Oh hey, nice.]

Well if you're joining in, you're probably not running on human numbers either, that'd be boring. So you're either... [He squints at the video.] Either you're eight, or eight hundred. [The first one's an honest guess. The second's just wild speculation.]

[binghua]

[Oh! This could be fun! Or potentially offensive. Depending on the thickness of one's skin.]

Judging by your voice, my gut says...mid to late thirties. Thirty-seven. No, thirty-six.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

[Ow. Ow.

But... this guy's going off of just voice, right? He knows they have a blind person here, although he's never met them.

In that case... might be a compliment?

He's going to take it as a compliment.]

Thanks, mate. You aimed too high, though. Want another shot at it?

[One thing Beitang Moran is never afraid of is offending people so...]

You do look substantially older than I do and I am already going towards my late twenties.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

[Of course you'd enjoy this one.]

Yeah, well, some of us just mature faster than others.

un : deft hand of little deaths (voice)

[scrapgege]

I should have thought of that, that can make a fun little game to pass the time.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

It's fun, or it takes you out at the knees. Or both. [Definitely both.]

Wanna take a guess?

@taken for granite ; video

[rumorate]

[Allison considers, but given her brother looks like he's fifteen when he's actually fifty plus, she's going to throw a wild one out there and see what happens:]

Sixteen.

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

[Huh. That's an actually decent one.] Congratulations--That's the closest anybody's gotten on a first guess so far. Still aimed too high, though. Want another shot?

[valeas]

( Hello, fellow candle watcher. Emilia eyes this all with a hint of amusement. )

Did anyone guess it?

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

Not yet. The admiralty's still up for grabs. Wanna take a shot at it?

un: ut malum pluvia | audio

[somebadnews]

[ You know he only started paying attention because Allison is in the same boat as him and she started playing whatever game this is. But once he's actually listening, he's suddenly interested. ...How has this never come up before?

He waits a while before cutting in. ]

You were an experiment?

UN: Senth; Video

[sergeant_slick]

I was a product. But yeah, grown in a lab, with me and three million of my closest friends.

I'm guessing you were one, though? [Because he hasn't run into this kid much, beyond the whole reverse-kidnapping thing they did. The most he knows about him is that people call him Five. Which is a weird name to hear on a non-clone. ...Sure, they've got an Eleven here, but that's just Eleven.]
