Quote from Jeanette on Aug 23rd, 2016, 10:36pm:
A crow approaches Moro and caws. "The town has something for Fernando and Hondo; they have already returned to camp."

"What? Why?"

The bell in the clock tower begins to ring.

"It's the bell. We're running out of time."

Moro and the rest of the party are transported back to camp.

Moro calls out to Fernando and Hondo. "Fernando! Hondo! Look towards the town!"

A minute later a red firework is shot into the sky. Four more red fire works are shot into the sky, one at a time.
 
"This is from the town." Moro is referring to a new years custom in which something (examples include a decorative item or cake) of a specific color is given. It has also been observed when a person is departing. Different colors mean different things.
 
A sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth red firework is shot into the sky.
 
"That's what the town wanted to tell Fernando and Hondo."
 
Jeanette wonders why the town is sending red fireworks. "Red? What does red mean?"
 
"Red means appreciation."
 
A tenth red firework is shot into the sky.

Note: Does anyone have any more to contribute to May 5 or shall we start to wrap it up? I have some things for the night; I don't want to jump ahead of anyone.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Moro retrieves her mobile device. "Mavis, you'll be sent back to the hotel so you can pack your suitcase."
 
"Yes!" Mavis is excited.
 
"Once you are packed, you will be brought back here." Moro feels the need to offer a suggestion. "Humans, more so here, would not expect a bat to be a Spirit. With you having guard duty it's best not to alert them by transforming back and forth."
 
With the exception of the Native American Spirits who can take any form, there are not many Spirits living in this part of the world that can take the form of a bat.
 
Moro sends the text message and Mavis is transported to her hotel room.
 
Moro returns her mobile device. "Elsa, I need for you to go with Hikaru and Danielle to the gas Camper. I need to talk to Chihiro in private."
 
Elsa nods and walks with Hikaru and Danielle to the gas Camper. Jeanette and Penny retire to the dub Box hitched to the Beetle. Moro opens the door of the Dub Box hitched to the gas Camper. Chihiro steps in and Moro closes the door behind them.
 
"Chihiro, at your current rate you will be 151.1112 centimeters tall by your twentieth birthday. Last month you asked for an extra centimeter for your twentieth birthday. We like you the way that you are; if you want to be a centimeter taller, we will make you a centimeter taller."
 
"Thank you."
 
Moro shakes her head thinking Chihiro's stature is one of her better features. "Jeanette came to the conclusion you are Baroness Louise. That's why I wanted to talk to you in private."
 
"Why would Miller-san think that?" Chihiro asks.
 
"All the facts she presented are accurate. She came to the wrong conclusion."
 
"Oh."
 
"You developed closer friendships in Charlton than you did in Japan and yet your friends in Charlton don't know who you really are."
 
"I'm just an ordinary girl. I'm nobody special."
 
"You've known Princess Elsa of Arendelle for four months and she is with us on this mission. In all this time have you known her to be treated different?" Moro asks.
 
"No. In Japan people treat me different. I just want to live a normal life. Here no one knows who I am."
 
"Everyone who has read Jeanette's journal knows who you are."
 
"Miller-san knows who I am?" Chihiro asks. "I mean Miller-san who's in Charlton now."
 
"Yes."
 
"She hasn't said anything to me. Wait, how does Miller-san, the Miller-san I know, know who I am?"
 
"The Jeanette who is with us copied the name on your suitcase and wrote it in her journal."
 
"What?" Chihiro asks, sounding alarmed.
 
"Jeanette does not know Japanese so she does not know what she copied. When she returned to her time she Googled what she wrote in her journal. Most of the images were of you."
 
"I found a lot of information about me in the Charlton Library."
 
"Your disappearance did create a media circus."
 
"All of which proves that I'm right."
 
"You said Jeanette hasn't said anything to you."
 
"Miller-san is one person. Pointer-san and Mavis-san have said something about finding Baroness Louise. I now understand why."
 
 
In "their" Dub Box Penny removes her socks, shoes and dress as Jeanette removes her uniform. Jeanette removes her bra and begins to put her pajamas on.
 
"Mom," Penny asks, "you went through puberty, you really want the Texas Spirits to . . . undo it?"
 
"Moro says they can." Jeanette replies.
 
"You're now on the other side. Why do you want to go back to where you were? I've been learning all I can about the changes."
 
"You remind me of when I was your age. I wanted to learn what I can for scientific reasons. I was such a geek. I accepted puberty because, well, I had fantasies of being a mother. A man was not in my fantasies except for as a means for me to become a mother."
 
"You were not interested in men?"
 
"I've never been interested in that type of relationship."
 
"Oh. Do you have any wants?" Penny is asking hard questions faster than Jeanette can answer them.
 
"I accepted I would go through puberty for the reason I mentioned. Honestly, I dreaded it. I wanted to be a child forever. I hate what puberty did to me." Jeanette brings up a dream she had one night that accurately depicts how she felt about growing up. "I can't remember how old I was; I was younger than you are now. I had a dream one night in which construction workers came to our house. They did not come to work on the house. These construction workers make children grow. I woke up very angry at them for making my sisters and I grow up."
 
"In these fantasies of being a mother . . . how many children did you have in these fantasies?"
 
"Two. First a son and then a daughter."
 
"In these fantasies did your children grow up?"
 
"No."
 
"So . . . by adopting an Immortal your fantasy comes true."
 
Jeanette smiles and nods. She then wonders how her answer will come across. The Texas Spirits genetically engineered and raised a child Jeanette would be interested in. Then they made her an Immortal. The ideal child was practically gift-wrapped. "When I met you in town yesterday morning it was love at first sight. What I mean is here is a child who would be in my life forever even after she creates a life for herself, whatever that life may be."
 
"You said you had fantasies of being a mother before you went through puberty. I don't have those fantasies." Right now Penny is not really sure what she wants. "You are not interested in men. Do you have any wants?" Penny asks again.
 
"I don't have that type of wants."
 
"You have hormones. You have to be interested in something. Mr. Robinson talked about a woman he liked."
 
"What I want is for things to go back to the way they were."
 
There is a knock on the trailer door.
 
"Who is it?" Jeanette asks.
 
"Chihiro."
 
Jeanette looks at her daughter. Penny is still in her panties. Jeanette opens the door and steps out in her pajamas.
 
"Moro-san said you copied the name on my suitcase in your journal. Could you please remove it?" Chihiro asks.
 
Jeanette still believes Chihiro is Baroness Louise. "Sure. Could you wait outside?"
 
Though Penny and Chihiro are both girls and Penny walked out of the trailer this morning with nothing on to go to the shower, Penny is in her panties (inside her temporary home) and Jeanette does not know what Penny is comfortable with and what she isn't.
 
Jeanette retrieves her journal and pen and scratches out Chihiro's real name to where it is no longer readable. The sentence from the May 1 entry now reads:
 
Chihiro's nameplate written in Japanese:
 
Jeanette steps outside again. "I removed your real name from the journal."
 
"Thank you. Moro-san told me that you know who I am, I mean the you that I know. However you never once made a big deal about it or brought it up."
 
Since the Jeanette who knows who Chihiro really is never treated her differently, she feels she can tell Jeanette who she is.
 
"You are?" Jeanette did not anticipate this.
 
Moro approaches. "Yes, she is."
 
"To find Baroness Louise, it is best to be in your time."
 
"Why is that?" Moro asks.
 
Jeanette can't believe she has to explain something so simple. "Someone in 1995 must know something important regarding Louise. Whisper of the Heart is a popular book. After the book was published someone with information could have sent a letter to the publishing company. To find Louise, you need to go to the publishing company." Jeanette considers something else. "Moro, your people are time travelers. Go back to Louise' last known location."
 
"We don't know exactly where she was. We never met her."
 
"Shiro Nishi knows where she was. He knew her." Chihiro knows a lot about the history.
 
"Go back to 1995 and talk to Shiro Nishi. Then you will be able to find Louise." Jeanette continues.
 
 
Moro and Chihiro retire to the gas Camper. Chihiro will sleep on the top as always, Moro and Elsa will sleep in the back of the Camper and Danielle will sleep in the Dub Box hitched to it.
 
Note: More to come.

Valentine and the three girls with her watched the fireworks. The girls we're excited at them as they we're rare to see on these times as there was little to celebrate in such a harsh world. Once done the crowd cheered and the music picked back up.  People kept pouring into the celebration and many of those who had been there a while we're already showing signs of intoxication.  One drunk grabbed Tonya.  He muttered something incomprehensible but that was about it as Tonya stomped on his foot causing him to howl with pain and temporarily release her.  She rushed to Valentine,  who had caught just the end of that.  Valentine pushed Tonya behind her as the big drunk angrily charged at them.  Valentines movements we're quick and concise.  She threw a quick short jab at the drunks throat,  which caused him to stop in his tracks and grab his neck,  as he choked and tried to get a breath.  She then gave him a front kick to the gonads which caused him to bend down and hold himself.  She then finished him off with a quick hook kick to the head,  knocking him out cold.  
 
Tonya: I didn't know you could do that!  
 
Valentine: I have my second degree black belt in kempo.  
 
Tonya: Wow.  Why did you learn that?  
 
Valentine: long story.  I'll tell you it all some day,  bit the short of it,  I was young and at a work party my coworkers got me drunk then  . . .
 
Tonya: they raped you?  
 
Valentine: No,  thankfully.  A kind janitor and his assistant help me escape.  I knew how to box a bit then but I really didn't know how to defend myself.  Had I know.  . . Let say I just wish I had been able to take care of myself. I'll tell you the whole story some day.  
 
Tonya: OK.  I trained in some form of martial arts at the school.  Not sure what it was called but those moves looked familiar.  I was a blue belt there.  You think you can train me more?  
 
Valentine: I'd love to.  
 
Tonya: zoey would probably like it too.  She was better than I was and she did some gymnastics too.  
 
Valentine: well, she can join us too once we get home. For right now we need to get back. Things are getting a bit rough here for the little ones and you need to take it easy with your arm still.
 
Tonya: ok. Yeah, I feel better knowing you know kempo than i did a bit ago but im starting to get a bit nervois here without Dad.
 
Valentine: you and me both.  
 
With that Valentine and Tonya started towards the younger two, who were playing at one of the game stands.
 
To be continued ...

Personal Note: In undoing Jeanette's development under puberty will make her a child in appearance and stature. It will not save her from the knowledge and even the wanting of carnal knowledge.
 
As an example, if Jeanette is 5ft 6in tall with a developed and mature body of a 20-something year old, undoing puberty in her case will render her back to that of a 8 to 10 year old (depending on when she hit puberty). It will not make her as a 5ft 6in tall under developed female, it will make her underdeveloped on across the board.
 
In such a society as this, no one is going to respect a child unless that child is known for the person he or she is. A child's place is to be seen and not heard. In Jeanette's current as an adult female that no longer menstruates makes her a sterile adult female. There is nothing wrong with that. But to be a child again, no one is going to listen to a kid, even if they wear an EMT uniform.
 
As for the ravages of puberty - what ravages? People go through various states of sexuality at different stages of their lives. Some as young as their preteen years, others in their late 50s. It depends on their wanting to accept or deny such relationships with others. But in either case, one can fall into a trap where in their later years, one can become depressed as to why things did not turn out the way they wanted it to be and be angry for the rest of their lives because of it.
 
Puberty is nothing more than the steps and adjustments one makes from being a child to one becoming an adult, and all of the responsibilities that goes with it. Fernando/I have been able to get a female pregnant since the age of 8; that does not mean that he/I went out of our way to get females pregnant because of our hormones are running about unchecked. We had to do that check ourselves or end up in a lot of trouble.
 
Also, at puberty, the brain stops growing and begins rewiring itself (usually at the age of 17 - 21). If one remains as a child, their brains continue to grow, and if their skulls do not grow with it, they will suffer greatly as the neuro matter presses up against the bone matter and it will eventually kill them. So Puberty is needed for that step to occur, if not, one dies. Medically, one who has never underwent puberty usually dies in in their late 20s/early 30s because of this. This is different in the case of 'midgets' who have underwent puberty, but never physically grew up due to lack of growth hormones, and living into their late 90s.  
 
(Lost this  part of the post on a crash)
 
Jeanette as-is is the sum of her education, knowledge, experience, character, persona and development. If anything from that sum is taken away, then Jeanette is no longer Jeanette. If she is an immortal because of the spirits, she better understand that it is not true immortality. To be truly immortal, one is immune from the ravages of age, disease, injury, events, so on. This is not immortality as the spirits give it. As proof, one properly placed explosive on Jeanette's lap will disprove her immortality as a whole when it goes off.
 
Personally, I do have regrets but I deal with them and life goes on. Sexuality was not easy for me in my life but I did the best I could with what I got. Life continues for me, it did not for many of my friends. In this story, the same applies to Jeanette and she needs to deal with such issues she may have, not take shortcuts that she believes will solve problems for it wont. Problems will manifest into other problems if not dealt with. If she does not deal with these issues, she will end up regretting it for the rest of her immortal life.

Consider what we know now. Immortal Jeanette appears eleven, lives in Charlton and works as a nurse at the orphanage in Charlton. This is what has been established. Anything else can be nothing more than jumping to conclusions.

How can undoing the physical development make Jeanette no longer Jeanette? Would her soul or even her DNA change? As we had discussed we are going by The Nobody's definition of an Immortal for this RPG. Quick refresh: An Immortal can be killed but not age.

Jeanette's physical body is going back to an undeveloped state and she will stay that until either she is killed or Jesus takes His people home. That is all. What am I missing?

In past emails we had about breaking Einstein's rules, we discussed that 20-something Jeanette teleported and meets with Immortal 20-something Jeanette that has lived since 2010 to 2066+ does not break Einstein's Laws of General Relativity. Because of this, until now, it is assumed that Jeanette would be 20-something. Not 11.

One of the reasons I am not interested in a sexual relationship is because I don't like my body.

No one has ever had an easy time of Puberty. It is a 10 year process of ups and downs and in the end many are not happy with the results. But we all dealt with it and as adults, it is our past.
 
No woman I know likes her body. Even the Supermodels I know and did online work for, does not like their bodies. But they have accepted what they got as theirs. If they do not accept what they have then they would spend thousands of dollars to surgically correct it and still not be happy with the results. But in accepting what they have, they can continue on with life on a much happier state of mind.
 
You, like any other woman, may not like your body, but you must like yourself. You got two legs, two arms, two hands, two feet, two breasts, 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 green eyes a head of red hair, a cute face and everything seems to work as nature designed it. That is a lot more than many people do not have. - 1. 2- You may not like your body but somebody out there likes you for who you are, and not because of what you got. What you got is important too, but it is secondary to what you have to offer. It is what Love is. Sex and admiring body image is lust, not love. Any female can hook herself up to look good enough to trap any male she so targets, that is simple. But to accept one for what they can give and not what they have, that is Love.  3- as an 11 year old, Jeanette can not be a mother to Penny. It would be impossible because Penny will see her as an equal and not as a parent.
 
There are many people out there who wish they were never had been born...

As stated before, Jeanette can not be a mother at 11. Penny would see her as an equal and it would be difficult for her to punish Penny for doing wrong and then going out to do those things she punished Penny for. She would be a hypocrite if she does this, and Penny would lose what little respect she has for Jeanette.

How can undoing the physical development make Jeanette no longer Jeanette? This would make Adult Jeanette into Child-Immortal Jeanette, and that is a major difference. She is will not be capable to do things as a child when she was an adult. She will not be able to have the strength as a child as she once had as an adult to do the job of rescue. Like I stated before, if somebody gets hurts or even dies because of Jeanette's inability to complete a rescue, Fernando is going to be highly pissed off at her. Highly pissed off.
 
Again, as a child of 11, Jeanette can not raise up Penny as her mother. It is not possible. Jeanette would have to remain as an adult until Penny has reached the chronological age of adulthood before Jeanette can revert back to 11. Only then is this possible.

Jesus is going to look at Jeanette and ask, "WTF is this? You are an abomination of the creation we made you out to be. Who did this to you? Why you allowed yourself to go through this? And who's side are you are on?"
 
You are missing a lot on this simple point. People have dealt with puberty and it is their past history. There is no excuse for it. I will discuss it in detail in private email, but you know a couple of women who are close to me that have been through hell because of puberty and growing up, but yet managed to grow up into wonderful and nice people who make no excuses of what happened to them to deter them from not doing their job and career or helping others.  
 
The only solution I can think is what I stated - Jeanette reverts to 11 at a later point in life, not now. It would be impossible for her to get things done at this point at 11, and if you (dare) think that being an 11 year old mom is going to be cute, you will be disrespecting every teen mother that has undergone raising a child as a child themselves and doing so alone. This is a major disrespect to them, many I personally know and have helped out with because I had the money and power in those days to do so.
