I did. For all the good it did me.

It reads "Knock knock". Which is either a precursor to a children's joke, or a reference to a Guns n' Roses song — Knocking on Heaven's Door.

He listens with a frown.]


It seems to be. Same word, twice in a row.

And no offense to Gamaliel but a voicemail from the great beyond is a little less surprising than a murderous quarantine enforced by invisible hands.

[Hm.]

Maybe our being plucked out from the masses put us in touch with something we wouldn't have otherwise been able to. We could check with Taair.

[Immediately gets babied after this for two days and then Taair public posts about it.]

Roger that. I'll rustle the kid for answers.

[The way Taair is younger than Mizu in his head. It's the disney princess energy.]

What do you make of Gamaliel, by the way? Now that we have a face to the names.

[richie is still ten years older than taair. also he calls his own peers kid, no one escapes]

That it does.

She told me she's about 35 but choosing to look like a teenager. Whatever that means. I'm not going to denigrate how they run things based on what they look like, but it does tamper a few expectations.

Though there's a lot kids can do that old shits like me can't. Especially ones from other times and places.

I was thinking either to keep in theme with the other two, or maybe there was something important about that age for her she had to revisit. A reckoning with her past, if you will.

Whether or not it's any of our business is another matter, but there you have it. Another age-defying anomaly in our midst.
