[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.]

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

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

Wanna take a guess?

[scrapgege]

Alright, and you can try to guess mine, right?

hmmm, I'm not really very good at this though. You look like you could be the age my parents were... maybe late thirties?

[sergeant_slick]

[He covers his face.] Hells, everybody's going for thirties. Do I need to shave? Start acting less responsibly?

[Their guesses would still be wrong, but.]

But--Okay. If you're human...Eighteen, maybe? If you're not--nine. Or nine hundred. [Yes, those are real, honest guesses.]

[scrapgege]

... So you're younger? Sorry...

ah, well, two of your guesses are actually not that far off! I was seventeen when I first ascended, so I still look like I did then, but actually I am... a little over eight hundred? I've sort of lost exact count to be honest.

[sergeant_slick]

No, no, it's fine. No harm done, it's just my ego.

[And that's the second young-looking guy here who's listed their age in centuries. What the fuck.] What do you mean, ascended? How'd that happen?

[scrapgege]

Ascended to Heaven.

[He says that as if it's just a normal thing, which, to be honest, it is in his world.]

I killed a demon to protect the people of my country and the Heavenly Emperor saw it and he made me a god.

[sergeant_slick]

...Ah.

Okay.

...That's a thing that can happen? Any chance of signing up for demon-killing duty?

[scrapgege]

it can, but it's not really frequent, and there are other factors as well, like the kind of person that you are... it's a little complicated, and in fact, the way this happened for me is sort of an extraordinary tale even when I'm from.
