89th Draw » Adventures in Bittyland

[selphie_t]

[Suddenly, the entire house was acting weird and that meant one thing to Selphie. The Malnosso were up to their usual tricks and seem to have left her unaffected by the shift. The shifts aren't surprising so much as she wasn't prepared for one so soon after she'd been returned from a Mallynapping.

The Malnosso didn't really feel like giving Selphie a break however.

The third day rolls around of the experiment and Selphie's feeling quite young. Six years young to be exact with messy brown hair and bright green eyes as she begins exploring the house in her oversized nightshirt. The little monkey just might be attempting to climb bookshelves to get that shiny object on the top shelf. There's going to be books everywhere unless someone manages to stop her in time.

For the rest of the shift, people will find a child version of Selphie running loose through the village being loud, cheerful and generally... a little kid. Eventually, someone is kind enough to give her some overalls and a yellow t-shirt. Another gives her a pair of sandals. She smiles a toothy grin at the kind people before running along on her merry way.

She's on the lookout for her Uncles, Mama, Papas and Big Brother but she still stops to play all over the place. The playground, the school yard, the fountain, the plaza. She'll run as fast as her little legs can carry her and anybody will be able to hear her from a mile away.

Luceti, the pint sized terror known as Selphie Tilmitt is on the loose and in dire need of a responsible adult. Whatever are you going to do with yourselves?]

[ooc: Selphie's shift effects are that she's going to bittified and AU'd back into the Luceti Valley AU. She'll be like this for the duration of the event. Have fun with her! But please, please be gentle. :)]

[Amused grin. Ikki tipped him off about AU!thing, though not the chibi, but then Smoker's getting used to seeing everyone else tiny. Shame he's stuck as Nico Robin still.]

Hey there kiddo. Loud as always I see.

[selphie_t]

Hiya Lady!

[All sunny smiles and bouncing.]

Do I know you?

[justicefluers]

Sort of. I'm usually Smoker if you remember.

/just leaves this awful response here

[selphie_t]

Smoker doesn't have boobies.

[infinitefrown]

[Oh... Oh dear. Ingo is a Responsible Adult^TM on a normal day, but today he is a Subway, waiting at an outside station somewhere... which makes looking after small children kind of hard. But he can't exactly ignore Selphie, seeing as she's playing just about everywhere-- and this exploration is making him kind of nervous. D-don't climb on the tracks....]

Please do be careful around the train's tracks, young miss. [Says the speaker-voice. He's not about to run her over, but-- still!]

[selphie_t]

[Who's speaking to her? Selphie looks all around her before she stands there in confusion. It's actually a little scary but she still likes trains very much so.]

Who's dere?

[infinitefrown]

[Oh boy... this whole disembodied voice thing is a pain.]

The subway's conductor. [Which is true enough.] We wouldn't want you getting hurt on the rails, Miss...

[selphie_t]

I wanna play in da train!

[And that is said with every fibre of sincerity in the little girl's body.]

[no_compromise]

[Unfortunately for both of them, this is a rare moment when Viral is actually in the village, and he has no experience with kids. At all. Coupled with his general lack of patience, the disheveled beastman is the last person that Selphie wants to run into.

The first thing he notices before the ball of yellow and laughter barrels into him is the noise. He physically tenses at the sudden contact, but doesn't reach for his cleaver immediately. Instead, he balances his package of food stuffs and glowers down at the child.]

...you should watch where you're going next time.

[selphie_t]

[Selphie looks up at Viral with big, wide eyes. If there's one thing that the little girl has always done, it was listen to the adults when they were telling you something.

However, it appears that she's being scolded as well and being a little kid and getting scolded just plain sucks! Her lower lip juts out into a pout before she nods slowly.]

Sowwy Mista.

[no_compromise]

[He didn't know that look on her face, but had a suspicion that nothing good could come from such a pitiful expression. His tone is stern, lacking softness, but he at least tries to soften the encounter by patting her lightly on the head when he looks away.]

...just don't do it again.

[selphie_t]

[She giggles at the headpat. Papa always did the same thing.]

'Kaaay!

[uccellodifuoco]

[Does an older brother count as a responsible adult? Even if he's also child sized. Either way he's totally going to hunt her down the moment he spots her around the village. After all he was looking for her, what else could he be looking for?]

Selphie!

[selphie_t]

[Selphie knows that voice very well as she swings to-and-fro before letting go of the chains and sailing through the air.]

Ikkiiiiiiiiiiii!

[She nails the landing and promptly falls on her butt before giggling.]

[uccellodifuoco]

Ah! Selphie! Are you hurt?

[He hurries to her side even as she giggles which pretty much means that, no, she's not hurt. He huffs in light annoyance.]

Don't do that, do you want to get hurt?

[Well, this speech would probably be more worrying if it came from their parents or uncles but that doesn't stop Ikki from trying.]

[selphie_t]

But I didn't...

[She puffs out her cheeks and pouts at her brother.]

Well, let's go for the start of her childcapades then

[mischiefbreeder]

[It was pretty hard to ignore the sounds of something being destroyed in the living room, which prompts Gold to come in.

Only to find a little girl trying to scale the bookcase.]

Hey hey hey! What're you doin'?!

hee hee hee

[selphie_t]

I wanna see what's on the top shelf!

[Said while she continues to climb.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Siiiiigh.

Okay, Gold is grabbing Selphie her arms and pulling her away from the bookcase.

...And then he's lifting her up in the air so she can see the top shelf. The joys of being tall.]

[day 8] I hate lacking an edit button;;

[lightofday]

[So guess who's quietly keeping an eye on Selphie while he's out today?

This guy, of course. So many years have passed, he couldn't quiet place who she was, but she looked... almost familiar.

Either way, her energy while she played was enough to bring a smile to his face.]

[day 8] /ruffles hair

[selphie_t]

[Oh Frey, why are you being so nice?

Is this little troublemaker -- currently engaging in a game of tag with kids her own age -- reminding you of someone?

You should come over and supervise.]

[day 8] /flails

[lightofday]

[Oh he is. He'll be staying at a distance for now, though, stopping his approach and taking a seat on a bench for now to keep an eye on her.

Better to let the children play, after all.]

Day 4!

[lostinmyway]

[Unfortunately, there's no responsible adult in the vicinity--there's only Grune. A Grune who's wearing bunny ears on her head and zipping about in random directions as her usual wander is put on triple speed.

When she sees Selphie running about near the fountain, she calls cheerfully:] Hello! Are you having a nice day?

[She has no idea who the kid is, of course; she's singularly bad at figuring out that sort of thing.]

Re: Day 4!

[selphie_t]

[BUNNY.

Selphie comes right up to Grune and points at the bunny hood.]

Yeah!

[Now she wants a bunny hood. Heaven help us all.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune looks momentarily confused. Why is she pointing?

But anyway!] Oh, I'm happy to hear it! It's very pretty out, isn't it?
