[Ceodore along with the rest of his housemates has joined the ranks of the childlike, and in his case, back to age six. These however are glorious days and like any active boy, he's all over the place looking for excitement and adventure. At first, that involves exploring the village in every nook and cranny he can find, slowly generating a

[Rydia is wandering in a coat that's far too big for her, when she catches sight of that snow fort at the plaza. Curious, she heads on over.]

[lunarianlegacy]

[It's that girl from before! Ceodore beams and waves to her.]

Hi!! You want to play?

[rydia_of_light]

[Rydia waves back, beaming.]

Uh-huh! Wow, you made all this??

[lunarianlegacy]

I sure did! [He's so proud she likes it. Girls are usually icky, but this one's neat.] C'mon, I'll show you!

[It's all laid out in his head, every little bump and dip in the snow marks something special.]

[rydia_of_light]

Okay!

[Rydia runs after him.]

You're planning a big snow battle?

[lunarianlegacy]

Uh-huh! I'm going to protect everyone from monsters, just like Father does.

[Time to point out all the special features he's imagined behind the piles of snow.]

That's the armory, and that's the infir- infarm- hmm, the place where people get better, and that's the command room where the offisaucers give orders. Oh, and that's the kitchen. I still have to get snacks for it.

[rydia_of_light]

[She nods, all gung-ho about this plan.]

I found the grocery store! We can get food there, and they won't even make us give gil for it!

[lunarianlegacy]

Really?! Even cookies?

[Because everyone knows the four food groups are cookies, milk, cakes and ice cream. Cookies are the most important.]

[rydia_of_light]

Let's find out!

[They HAD to have cookies, right? It's, like, a law or something.]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Best idea he's heard all day. He's already walking off in the direction he assumes he should go.]

Where is it?

[rydia_of_light]

[She tugs at him, in the opposite direction of course.]

No, it's this way!

[She points to the building.]

[lunarianlegacy]

Okay!

[Completely nonplussed about the change of directions. He'll happily tag along for the sake of free cookies.]

[rydia_of_light]

[She darts inside and makes a beeline for the sweets section as soon as she finds it.]

Think we should get cocoa, too?

[lunarianlegacy]

Uh-huh. And suckers. I like suckers.

[He's pawing through everything that looks like it might be sugary for more ideas.]

[rydia_of_light]

[Rydia stares at him oddly.]

What are--oh!! Here's a big bag of cookies! All kinds!

[She doesn't know how to say 'assorted' but there's a picture....]

[lunarianlegacy]

Wow! Look how many!

[That is a big bag and the picture looks promising. Cookies are going in the arms asap. And not too far away is a stand of lolipops!]

Look look! I found the suckers!
