[Video]

Good afternoon, everyone! I can't believe I almost forgot this, but today's my birthday. It'll be the first birthday in Luceti that I've celebrated at my actual age! The last time it passed, the Malnosso had made me ten...

Anyway, I know a lot of things have been hard here. There have been some rough times for me, but there have been some really good ones, too. I feel like I've grown quite a bit since arriving here! I'm even a little taller. [Two inches is something to brag about when you were 5'1" upon your arrival, okay?] But where I feel I've grown the most is as a person, and I do think I have Luceti to thank for that. A-At least to an extent!

Especially to the people I've befriended, even the ones who've gone home. Thank you, everyone. [He's eighteen now--an adult. For all his personal growth, it feels strange. He still feels far from being an adult. But it's okay. He'll get there, he knows it. He's already come so far...]

[Action]

[A little later, Jeb will be doing his usual thing around town. Going to the bakery to get sweets, stocking up on food for him and Silver, stopping by the flower shop, checking the general item store for anything neat...

Feel free to catch him anywhere around town--he's definitely going to keep busy for a couple hours. Just because it's his birthday doesn't mean he should hole himself up.]

Thank you, Quinn! I really appreciate it.

Eighteen...that's the magical age where suddenly almost everything is legal! You can basically do whatever you want now, huh?

Well, I guess so! I'm not sure how it works in Luceti.

Oh, good point...I mean, we already have everything for free so maybe age doesn't matter as much for certain things here.

I don't know. I've never really tried... well, getting anything that's usually reserved for adults.

Oh? I've only ever tried to get into certain R-rated movies myself. Not the gross grisly ones but the romantic ones that could probably get away with a PG-13 if they tried to.

Oh! Well, that isn't so bad.

Yeah, movie ratings are kind of silly sometimes. Like, I get why they'd rate it R if there's a lot of gross killing and bad words and people running around naked for fun, but a steamy love scene isn't such a big deal.

Well, I guess not...

[Guess who's blushing now.]

Oh! Um, sorry. [yeah, sometimes she does talk without thinking. It's not as bad as Stacy, but she sure didn't mean to make this sweet boy uncomfortable. Well...young man, since 18 isn't a "boy" anymore.]
