[Waking up in a strange room with a headache and no recollection of how he got there was something Nico had been hoping not to experience until he was much older. But as soon as he opens the journal to get his bearings, the situation immediately becomes clear.

He's now en route back to his own room in the Pietus Tower, and with no memory of elves

Welcome back.

[childofhades]

How bad was it?

[waterproofed]

Not any worse than last time.

[childofhades]

So incredibly irritating, in other words.

[deathwarder]

[ Even through the journal, Deathwing can sense something amiss here. ]

You are not the Nico I remember.

[childofhades]

Sorry to disappoint.

[Does not sound sorry at all. In fact, he sounds pretty pissed off. He doesn't recognize the voice, though, so he figures it's just some guy he met last week.]

[deathwarder]

[ Hm... maybe a test of memory is in order. ]

Do you recall our earlier conversation? Regarding the nature of your powers.

[childofhades]

Ah. You're that guy.

No, I don't remember.

[lord_wizard]

I generally do not see locking a child in the closet as a viable solution.

[childofhades]

At least they wouldn't get themselves into any trouble if they were in a closet.

[lord_wizard]

Children get into trouble. It is not worth being punished for. [He...actually sounds a little angry that he'd even suggest it]

[childofhades]

Yeah, well most children don't get into life-threatening trouble.

[thelifemeddler]

... Did something happen?

[My, his manner changed quickly.]

[childofhades]

I got turned into a ten-year-old for a week, if that sounds as "something".

probably a good idea

[thelifemeddler]

One of the castle's tricks. Of course. Do you remember our conversation?

[How inconvenient. He's sure the black wants to sink his claws into this kid now. Krasus won't let that happen.]

[childofhades]

I don't remember it, but I read up on most everything I did and said last week. I wasn't the smartest kid.

[childofhades]

Um... yeah. A lot.

[Sounds a little confused, since he doesn't recognize this voice.]

[childofhades]

Oh, yeah, I read through our conversation.

[Pause.]

Thanks for, uh, putting up with me.
