Strange thing I just noticed: How old is Marigold?

<< < (3/16) > >>

Alex C:
I had acne until I stopped using soap every time I showered and I have had great skin for a decade or so now. A lot of our ideas about hygiene are based more on speculation, advertisements, guilt and guesswork than what actually works on an individual basis.

nicoley:
Yeah... well obviously I didn't mean that just because you have acne you must not shower. just that Marigold's character is known to be sloppy and not very well taken care of, so that could be one of the reasons why she has such bad acne.

Speaking from personal experience as a slob, a relatively small object could easily get mixed in with your crap and follow you around as you move. I'm guessing Marigold is a "shove everything in boxes, get to the new place and dump them out" kind of mover.

Also, just because the pocky is "from ten years ago" doesn't necessarily mean it's been under the bed ten years. As a matter of fact, Marigold's response to the "....from ten years ago" line is "it was vintage". I suppose you could take that as a lame excuse she made up on the spot, but sometimes people buy/collect weird stuff. (And at the risk of pissing off any passing Japan-ophiles, white kids who are into Japanese culture seem to collect the weirdest stuff of all)

I agree about her looking young though, I thought the whole bar invitation thing a few weeks ago was going to end up with her either making excuses to hide the fact that she's not 21 or else she'd get caught with a fake ID and hate the 'main' characters for a while.

No one sells expired pocky (I think it's actually illegal), so at best it'd be maybe nine years old. the vintage line was meant as an excuse. As for her just bringing it with her by cramming it into a box, for it to end up under her bed she'd have to have swept it there to hide it from someone. However, delving into that hypothetical scenario would be even more reading too deep into it than I'm already doing.

Is it cold in here?:

If she does, that would be consistent with her snapping "Don't touch anything!". On the other hand, it's inconsistent with her acceptance of a Hannnelore-level cleanup.

How long does gaming obsessiveness last? Is it something you grow out of? If so, that might set an upper bound on her age.

Teria:
You know, she could have bought this stuff (whatever "pocky" is) years BEFORE she moved out of her parents' home.
