Apologetic, prefer to help anyway, worried about giving it all away by accident, and taking it all in stride. As many attitudes are there are people, I guess...

So, Bud just made the entire scooby gang MIB Agents? Did this go through proper channels? Did Brandi okay this? Forget Brandi, what about Katherine; is she going to be okay with her 14/15 year old daughter, being an MIB Agent? What about the other parents? Like Shawna said, she is not very good at keeping things from her parents. They might be Paras, but they are still minors. I am not sure that Bud thought this out properly.

The drinking age is way lower, but nothing on any other activities. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/like-molasses/AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 6:38 pmI seem to recall that the age of majority is lower for paras.ziggy78eog wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:37 pm So, Bud just made the entire scooby gang MIB Agents?

I have no idea how that reduced drinking age would actually be implemented in practice, at least if the young paras in question are mixing in a mostly-human environment. It's not as if a para can flash a special para-only ID card at their local bar. Probably it's something that applies only in private/family/para-only situations (or if the officer carding them happens to be a werewolf).
As to the age of majority in general, I don't think we've been given access to that information. It could vary by the race, depending on species-specific maturation rates, lifespan, and so forth. I recall that hobbits weren't considered adults until they reached the age of 33; in their twenties they were still considered to be irresponsible "tweens". Like our own college seniors, they were old enough to drink, but often not old enough to do so responsibly... give 'em a few flagons of beer and let them loose in your mushroom patch, and there was hell to pay.
On the other hand, the Ephemerae ("mayfly faeries") are probably allowed to drink by the time they're 8 hours old. Legend holds that they're uniquely fortunate among the Fae, in that they're the only ones who never live long enough to get a hangover.
