Who: N, anyone else! What: This. Where: The island, initially near the springs and moving on to ~everywhere~. When: July 24th-26th Warnings: Depends on who shows up.
Well, at least Mac was okay, but what happened was just what N expected. What a shame. Normally, N would be a little upset and worried, but N as a little boy is quite a bit more sensitive.
Mac stood there with his soaked clothes, staring at N. He was now even shorter than him. Uh. He looked at his hands. Uhhhh. Mac was...a teeny tony kid.
Normal Mac would be upset and freaked out. Littler Mac just sorta...started to cry.
"N! N!! I-I'm...I'M SO SORRYYY!! NOW I'M A LIL' KID TOO AFTER I SAID I WAS GONNA HELP BUT NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND..."
"Mac!" N practically threw his arms around him to try to comfort him. "Mac, it's okay! You... You just tried, but now we're stuck like this, and... and..."
Oh god now N is crying.
And Zorua is kind of staring like 'wtf are you motherfuckers doing'.
This was either the world's most pathetic or heartwarming scene. Maybe it was both.
However long the crying and the sniffling went on. It did eventually stop. Mac's waterworks calmed down after he gave it some more thought. The older, nineteen-year old Mac was still there somewhere. The one that really wanted to take action like a bold and brash soul. He was doing some after-crying hiccups as he spoke up.
"W-wait...we can still...fix it. Somehow. There's gotta be some cure somewhere."
That place looked scary. If Littler Mac weren't half his real self or whatever he'd be too scared to even think about going in. But Littler Mac wasn't truly himself when he was five or whatever, that place looked cool. Fun cool. How dangerous could it really be? His pig-headed-ness seemed to have come through juuuuust fine. Mac nodded in agreement! They could be real adventurers! Like in those cool action movies!
"You're thinkin' big! They always have important things in big temples! I've seen the movies!"
"N! Don't ya remember? I got ya to see a movie on your birthday!" Mac said in response. "But the movies I'm talkin' about now are like the ones with cowboys and big guys that can beat a lotta bad people up!"
That's interesting, Mac. Do tell. Because you're quite the cinema lover.
He needed help. N knew he needed help.
He didn't think. He was already cursed, so maybe he wouldn't get cursed again. He reached his hands in and grabbed what felt like his friend's hand.
He pulled. Please be okay, please be okay.

"Maaaa-aaaaaac! Noooooooooo!"

N was not even stopping yet. Sorry, Mac, he's not as much of a bold and brash soul as you are, at least not as a little boy.

"N-no we won't! A-and I'm gonna find out and then we'll be grown ups again! It'll be like it ain't happened!"

N stared down at Zorua and gave him a small stroke on the head. "My daddy would know what to do if he wasn't a meanie."

Mac was kind of grinning now, feeling a little more confident in what he was saying. Hopefully the grin will do something.

N that. That is not even what he meant. Don't even.

"Then, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he's a mean and weird lilly-smelly old bad man!"
Okay this was serious time now. Mac stood up trying to look like a REAL MACHO HERO.
"ANYWAY! I think we should maybe go find a fixin' thing for us! Where should we go lookin' first, Captain!"
Oh look, he's saluting N and treating this as if it were kinda a game. Might as well. LET'S GO TREAURE HUNTING.

"Um... yeah! Let's go look, uh..."
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly, he beamed.
"I know! We can look in one of those biiiig temples! We can be adventures!" He pointed to say big and very dangerous temples. Oh god.

"You're thinkin' big! They always have important things in big temples! I've seen the movies!"
Yeah the. Movies.

A pause. A long, steady pause as he shuffles his feet and looks around.
"... What's the movies?"
