10th Act [Somewhat Accidental Video/Text/Action]

[dreamsonwings]

[The video feed turns on and...a big brown eye is shown. Strange thing to broadcast over the network. It's almost like someone doesn't know how to work the contracption or has the mind set of a five year old. When the camera pulls away slightly...there is a five year old looking at it.

The contact name says 'Sora Naegino' but wasn't she supposed to be older?

The video part shuts off soon after and a text pops up. Problem is...]

[Five year olds can't text.

And if you're running around the Sigyn house, you'll notice her running around the place for maybe an hour, saying 'okaa-san' and 'tou-san'. Then when someone opens the main door, she'll go wandering in the city. Someone please catch her?]



((OOC: Sora's been hit with a curse: be a five year old for an week. She won't respond to any of the network replies but feel free to catch her running around. Please, she'll need a babysitter.))

Comments

[action | baldr] ready for the worst babysitter ever?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[It's not every day that you go out for a walk, minding your own business, and feel something tiny and warm crash into your legs.

Well, okay, it happened sometimes at Xavier's. But this is the last place he was expecting it. He glances downward, his expression distinctly unimpressed.]

A kid?

[action | baldr] hell yes

[dreamsonwings]

[It's surprising that she even made it this far from Sigyn. But she doesn't know much at this age or to stay away from certain people.]

Hello!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He casts a dirty look up at the sky, since he doesn't exactly know where they hang out during their downtime.]

This is pretty fucked up, gods.

[Then he looks back down at her, sighing wearily.] Alright. Where are you supposed to be?

[dreamsonwings]

[Shhh, haven't you learned that kids can mimic things and words? Expect her to say that later.]

I...don't know. Where's 'kaa-san?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[It will be his proudest moment.]

I don't even know what a cassan is, kid. What's your house?

[dreamsonwings]

[Forever corrupting the youth of the multiverse.]

House? Japan!

[Er, Sora, that's not the right answer. But if he notices the bracelet on her, it'll have Sigyn's gem color if it helps.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Jesus. [He mutters under his breath, then shakes his head.] I'm guessing you didn't hear a thing that maid said, because you're like four years old, and all you wanted was a cookie or something. And they're apparently gathering soldiers for a war here.

[He does notice that the stone on her bracelet is a different colour than his, though, and after checking the map quickly, he's able to piece together what those stones mean.]

Sigyn. Okay. Just come with me, alright?

[dreamsonwings]

Ma...id? Was no ma-id, Sora woke up alone.

[But nonetheless, she follows him. What was this Sigyn thing he mentioned?]

Si-igyn? What's that? Do they know where 'kaa-san is?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

That's even better. Leave a little kid alone in the middle of a city they don't know.

[And it brings up some unpleasant memories, even if he wasn't this young and some of the city was known to him - desertion is desertion, and no kid deserves it. He starts to walk a bit faster, forgetting what small strides her short legs will be capable of.]

They might even know what cassan is, if we're lucky. You'll just have to stay there for awhile, and not wander around.

[thankthemoons]

[ Oh, look, it's a child. Running through the house. Fina notices the child is running around unsupervised, and though she herself grew up without parents, per se (unless you counted Ramirez or the Silvite Elders, but Ramirez hadn't been around for a good chunk of her life even then), she knew that a child that young shouldn't have been running around all on her lonesome.

So, when the child runs past her, she only thinks about it for a few moments before rushing after her, Cupil trailing along behind her. ]

E-Excuse me! Please, slow down?

[dreamsonwings]

[Slow down? What's that? She giggles as she keeps going down the hallway and goes down the slide. Looks fun!]

[thankthemoons]

[ rkgnrkgnrkgn No, child! Wait! Oh, she just ... did that ... okay. Fina's done things like this herself, back home. It was a part of being in a Blue Rogue's Crew and all. So, with only a moment's hesitance, she makes her way down after the child and tries to continue to chase her. ]

[dreamsonwings]

[She might catch Sora trying to balance on one of the couch arms in the living room. Look at me, I'm an acrobat!]

[thankthemoons]

[ She comes up behind the girl aaaaaand holds her steady on the couch arm, breathing a sigh of relief. Fina then looks to her with a small, slightly awkward smile. ]

Hello?

[dreamsonwings]

[Who are you, nice lady?]

Hello!

[thankthemoons]

[ She can't help but turn that awkward smile into a warm smile as the little girl responded. ]

Are your parents here?

[dreamsonwings]

Not here.

[She points towards the stairs.]

Woke up there!

action thor;

[deadcenter]

[As usual Senji was strutting around Thor district, just seeing what there is to see and just--....

...Wait a minute did a kid just run by?]

...The hell?

[dreamsonwings]

[Yes, that is a kid running past. Where is the adults around here that are not ok with this?!]

[deadcenter]

Wait a second...

[SHE LOOKS FAMILIAR-]

Sora?!

[dreamsonwings]

[She stops and looks around. Did someone just say her name?]

H-hello?

[deadcenter]

No way.... how is this even possible...?

[WHAT HAPPENED?!]

[dreamsonwings]

[Head...tilt...]

Eye have a boo boo?

[deadcenter]

My eye?

[he points at his eyepatch.]

Well I guess you could say that.... maybe. But it doesn't hurt.

[dreamsonwings]

Oooh, mister must be really strong then!
