All this life-advice. Absorption commencing.

Also, as for character ages, Erika's 18/19, and I say that because she's just about turning. >> What season is it? If it's Autumn, then her birthday might just fall in the two weeks of staying there. If Winter, we'll assume she's 19 already.

...manamana. It's catchy!
Don't get us shot with that PM, Biggie. [i]Please.[/i]

EDIT: OKAY WAIT NO THIS CAN'T WORK SEMESTERS START IN AUTUMN. Okay. So it's NOT Autumn/Winter. >> So still 18. Okay.
