66th Draw = pint-sized terror on the loose in Luceti

[It's been ten days and the Malnosso seem to be finished with Selphie. As a result of their handy work, Selphie's been reduced to the age of a six-year-old child.

She woke up on the outskirts of the village and immediately began to wander the village on her own. She doesn't seemed to be harmed in any way. However, one might noticed the skinned knees and scraped elbows that are covered in their fair share of dirt. Another might notice the dirt covered dress she's wearing but she'll just be exploring this village that seems rather new to her as this little girl doesn't remember spending almost a year and a half in Luceti as a teenager.

Eventually though, she does end up by the fountain where she clambers up onto the ledge before hopping into the fountain with delight that only a young child would understand. Of course, the white fabric of the dress isn't exactly appropriate swimwear and eventually someone will find a dress floating happily in the fountain and a little girl that looks oddly like a younger version of Selphie frolicking with reckless abandon in the fountain.

What does your character do upon spotting this little kid wandering about unsupervised?

ooc: the last chronological post in this post goes to Archie!]

[Her hair is glued to her head as her feet dangle from the bottom of the towel. She giggles as she looks up at the person who's pulled her out of the fountain. A curious look graces her face.]

Hiya Mista!

[It is Selphie! He plants her on the ground and starts drying her hair with one end of the towel, glancing about to make sure no one is watching, because this is what Archie does.]

Where are your clothes?

It got heavy so I took it off.

[She points to the fountain with a cheeky grin.]
simplestgift: (Oh please.)

[Great. Sigh.]

Stay where you are.

[He releases her long enough to swipe it from the water.]

'Kaaaaaaaaay!

[Except not as Selphie runs off with the towel wrapped around her in another fit of giggles.]
simplestgift: (Eep!)

[personal profile] simplestgift 2011-08-05 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Come back!

[Tiny eel. Now he's chasing after her. Little critter is fast, but he's got longer legs and, thanks to Jack Sparrow's sword exercises, all kinds of stamina. Her sopping dress is in one hand.]

Gotta catch me first!

[How else does one practice the evasion of bedtime? By playing tag.]
simplestgift: (It's an injustice.)

[personal profile] simplestgift 2011-08-05 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he's workin' on it. Dammit, the boys on the Renown weren't this young. He makes a quick grab for her, trying to wrap his arms around her from behind.]

[Operation: Catch a Selphie. SUCCESSFUL.]

Lemme down. I wanna plaaaaaay.

[Pouting. Forever.]

Not till you're dressed. [He slings the wild Selphie over his shoulder and heads for the clothing shop.]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I am dressed!

[Wild Selphie will giggle as she's slung over Archie's shoulder but really, she has no problems running around as is.]

A towel is not dressed.
simplestgift: (Lt. Snarky)

Because it's a towel, not a dress. [In the shop now. He picks out a small sundress, not because he's from olden days and girls should wear dresses, but because it's a single garment. Into the changing room they go.]

But da towel is fluffy!

[And there goes another round of giggles.]

[He quickly dries her hair and starts pulling the dress on, if she stays still enough.] It still isn't clothes.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well considering that she's looking up Archie with big green eyes as she holds her arms up after to help with dressing, she'll stay still long enough for the garment to be put on. Afterwards though, she might need some shoes and maybe a feeding?]
simplestgift: (Up to something.)

[personal profile] simplestgift 2011-08-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Surely both. He buttons the dress and reaches for her hand.] Come with me.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Looks like someone doesn't want his little charge running off again. Selphie places her hand in Archie's.]

'Kay!
simplestgift: (Glowing with pride in you.)

[personal profile] simplestgift 2011-08-07 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He finds her a pair of shoes next, and then starts walking her toward house 36.] I wonder if you live with anyone. Are you hungry?

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Her free hand will swing widely from side to side as she looks at anything and everything around her. She doesn't recognize the place as she moves in a little closer to Archie. Normal kids would cry about being in a strange new place by themselves, but Selphie's far from a normal kid.]

I dunno 'bout dis place, Mista. Suppertime?
simplestgift: (Touched.)

[personal profile] simplestgift 2011-08-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't such a bad place. Just stay close to me. I think I have something to feed you with.

[It's a short walk to the house, and while she eats, he can contact Lucy to see if she can look after the girl.]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Okie dokie!

[And Selphie will munch happily on whatever she's given.]
