It's almost Little Alice's birthday. She's going to be 8. Absolutely wild to me how fast she's growing up, even though she's growing at an external-world rate. She's also super mature for her age, which comes from sharing a head with a bunch of grownups I suppose, and not getting much time to spend with people her age. She's been home schooled for the past few years, but is actually starting regular school (on Rehia, the main planet in our paracosm, not Earth) in January! I have absolutely no clue how that's going to work out but it's important for her to have time with her peers and not just adults. She'll be in advanced classes for most of her day except for "fun" classes like art, music, and gym. And, of course, she's going to learn magic too. We're still not sure what her elemental affinity is - we're leaning air, but she seems pretty well balanced among the common elements (earth, fire, air, water) so she may actually have an affinity for one or more of the higher elements (harmony/chaos, life/death, astral/banal). Some of us have made the joke that she's definitely got a chaos affinity, with some of the pranks she's pulled, like making the TARDIS's AI say jokes whenever certain words are said inside it!
