This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

[Okay Ms.Adult. If you say so...]

Of course.

Oh! And um... Just, as a bit of a final note, I guess. Try to not get carried away with how alone you are right now. Even if you think you have no one close to you at the moment, one of the few bright sides about being in a new place like this is that there's so much opportunity to form new and exciting relationships that we all would have never otherwise formed.

I know it might sound kind of preachy, but please keep yourself open to the people around you. You never know what sort of amazing impact they may play on your future as long as you allow them.

It's not really about me but, since this was a public post, I'm absolutely sure there must be others close to your age and interests who are more than happy getting to help you out and get to know you in the process.

[fiendennor]

Sir.
I assure you that I am not wallowing in my "loneliness." I have made many friends here.
If you are concerned that I am lacking an emotional support system, I assure you that this couldn't be further from the case.

But a dear friend of mine has gone back to sleep in orbit. And I wish some time to indulge my feelings.
That is all.

Now will there be anything else?

[Sorry, Phoenix. She got a little snippy.]

[objectionattorney]

[Oh boy.

He was obviously pressing a little too much there. Probably best to just back off a bit.]

Ehh... No! No! Nothing else really! I didn't mean to get invasive there or anything! Maybe I just was projecting too much. Ahah...hah... Yeah.

Well then! I suppose, if anything, I hope you have a satisfying night with it all? I hope it at least all helps you in sorting things out.

[Man this was kind of awkward.]

[fiendennor]

Thank you. I will do my best to have a satisfying night, or at least not a bad one.

I'm capable of looking after myself. Your advice is appreciated.

Good night.

[objectionattorney]

Um... Yeah...

Goodnight.

[Really, what more could he do in this sort of situation? The adult responsibility he had felt made him want to chastise her, but he really didn't know her well enough.

Let sleeping tigers lie. Or, let sad teenagers drink their sorrows away? Yeah... That really did sound bad.]
