5th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Voice/Action Backdated to Monday's morning

[uccellodifuoco]

[During the past two weeks, Smoker, resident of Community Building 1, room 27, got some company in the form of a small kid named Ikki. Said kid though, is now again his proper age and though he intentionally slacked on saying much during the past day once he woke up as his normal self, Ikki supposes that it's about time to... He doesn't know, but probably some thanks are in order, as well as getting his ass out of Smoker's place. He's not really sure where the other man is, mostly because Ikki himself has yet to exit the room he got while he was here, so he'll use the journal for a check-in. That's exactly for what it serves, right?]

Smoker, you around?

[There, no filter, because Giles didn't get to teach him that, which is logical as he was a frigging kid, and Ikki isn't really the kind to look for that unless it's heavily important.]

Exactly, how many people got the chance to revisit their kid years during the experiment?

[Just plain curiosity... And that he wants to know how many of the kids he met while he was one are now adults in size.


Later in the day Ikki will be wandering around the village, checking shops and looking at everyone that crosses paths with him. No intense stares or anything, just a normal casual glance which may become firmer if the face is familiar to him. For most this doesn't mean much, but until today Ikki hadn't really paid much attention to what was going on in the village unless it was under attack or there was some kind of emergency or danger. It's also the first time he's walking around without his Pandora box.

Sooner or later, he'll end at the bar once again, drinking yesterday wasn't enough for him apparently.]

Comments

[justicereigns]

Yeah? [So talkative.]

[uccellodifuoco]

You in the apartment?

[It's okay, Ikki isn't really talkative either. And he's not a kid anymore so...]

[justicereigns]

Yeah around the room, hang on.

[Comes out carrying a cup of coffee and book from the kitchen.]

Hn?

[uccellodifuoco]

[He could have gone out of the room himself, you know. Anyway... Honestly Ikki thinks this is what people say 'feel awkward'. He didn't feel like this even after he tried to kill his brothers and revived later to fight on their side. He had just... Thrown the guilt and distrust over his shoulder and moved forward. It was easier to deal with that than with this. After all as a kid he had looked up a lot at Smoker, more than he has ever looked up to any adult. At least it's someone he already knew, it would be worse if not... Or maybe it would be easier?]

Yeah... I wanted to properly thank you for taking me in during those past days. I hope I didn't cause you much trouble.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Many of us.

[Stuffy voice is stuffy.]

[uccellodifuoco]

I remember the place filled with kids.

[So not surprised. Ikki arches an eyebrow at what seems to be a stuffed voice but ignores it.]

Mind if I ask for how long the effect lasted?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Uhh. Different for different people. For me it was about a week.

[uccellodifuoco]

Two weeks here.

[The Malnosso liked him kindergartened apparently.]

That would explain why some kids seemed to vanish after a few days.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I don't know how many exactly were affected, but my entire household was for a while. That was...interesting.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

[A whole house full of children...]

It certainly sounds like that. Has this happened other before?

[He remembers comments about the experiments being a repeat, at least some of them.]

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Not that I recall, but the thought bubbles and teleporting...that definitely happened. The alternate realities, too.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

I was hit by the teleporting and bubbles for a while too. How long have you been here?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Heya!

[uccellodifuoco]

Hey. What's up, Selphie?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Not too much right now. What's up, Ikki?

[uccellodifuoco]

I was thinking about going to my old apartment to get bring my things to where I'm staying. But other than that there's not much to say. There's little to do here when there aren't any experiments or no evil doer is causing a ruckus around.

I was younger for awhile.

[written]

[uccellodifuoco]

I was stuck at it for the whole two weeks.

[The journal pictures aren't really helpful to make people be recognizable after going through a growth spurt unfortunately.]

Spent a good while just running around trying to find my little brother.

[Even ended at the Welcome Center with a girl, after helping a bit another girl on her running away from her orphanage... Maybe he should try to check how those two are now. He knows that Selphie is alright already.]

[occultnurse.livejournal.com]

An awful lot, from what I've seen!

[Not. Admitting. To anything. ... Yet.]

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Seems the Malnosso wanted to feel what it was like to own a kindergarten then.

[A joke though it's not said as one but more with slightly annoyance. He doesn't appreciate being caught in the experiments at any rate.]

[Voice]

[occultnurse.livejournal.com]

Heehee, maybe so! Or perhaps they were interested in the childhoods of their little lab rats, if such things would even interest them to begin with.

[voice]

[sly-little-fox.livejournal.com]

Plenty I reckon. So that's what th' experiments here are like, hn?

[voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

It's a good example, seems they got in plenty of past experiments too from what people have been saying.

[voice]

[sly-little-fox.livejournal.com]

Anyone keep track of what all they done here?
