There's something you should know about the snow in the open areas between the domes. Some of the snow I make has magic in it, and what it does is make people more open to loosening up and playing around in it. It has to do with my center being Fun, it was never intended to hurt anyone but... it did.

Even though this time was an accident... it was also in the big snowfall last March. If you spent a lot of time outside that weekend, you probably got at least a little dose of it. A couple people already knew about this but I'm the one who should have said something before this. Long before, I was just--

I've already tried to break as much of the effect as I can between the three main domes, it should be mostly clear now and back to regular snow.

You're more mature than you look.

[ That expression gets a laugh out of Peter; hell, he feels a bit embarrassed for saying it. ]

What? It's true. I don't think other people are right for making you hold back on yourself like this, but if you're really willing to... I mean, not many "adults" would.

Never aging. What's your secret?

[ Trying to make some light conversation here. ]

Cause I gotta say- I got a glimpse of what's waiting for me some years down the line and I'm not looking forward to it.
