8th strike - [accidental video]
[the Guide hits the floor with a clunk, followed by the whirring noise of the robot responsible fading into the distance. There's a rustle, then a small, tousled head of hair pokes into view. The boy looks around with a dazed expression, then starts trying to shuffle out of the pile of clothing he's in. He falls flat on his back.]
[And just...lies there for a moment, staring at the ceiling. Then he rolls over, clumsily, as if he's not quite used to moving on his own, like a toddler in a child's body. The only thing left on him is a now too-big black t-shirt. He lifts the pair of pants on the floor with both hands, curiously, as if he's never seen anything like them before. Then peers inside them, as if expecting something to be there.]
Ohhh, another one...are you all right there, dear?
[he looks up at the sound of the inquiring alien's voice, head tilted, silent until she repeats the question.]
It's...no good. This one's no good.
[the words are flat and devoid of any intonation. The inquirer seems disturbed by this.]
Well, I never! Such a rude child! Of all the things...
[Muttering, the voice fades away. The kid seems unfazed by this, and goes back to inspecting those pants.]
[ooc: replies with quinary . Physically about 6 or 7, mentally a few weeks after he was "born". So he doesn't understand many words yet.
EDIT: I FORGOT please feel free to action it up o/]
