[John definitely once used to be a little boy, and once again, he is one. He's a scared, sad, and bruised little boy left wandering the halls of the MS Elegante alone.

The small, frail child has found himself at the buffet and since it seems as good an idea as any, he waits at one of the tables.

Maybe his parents will find him... hopefully they won't

[So Mimmi is in the buffet again. She's noticed that's where most of the little kids are congregating, not that she's staking them out or anything. But she happens to notice a little boy sitting off by himself. He looks so upset. ;A;

Mimmi makes her way over, holding a plate of food]

May I sit here?

[worstestone]

[John is csught off-guard by the woman. She's pretty and looks very friendly, but he knows better than anyone that you can never trust people who appear friendly.

The boy eyes the woman, then her plate of food and then inspects the space around them. There are other tables, why should she want his? Finally, he relents and slides out of his seat.]

Sure. I'll move.

for lack of a bobby

[After the ~eventful~ day before, Torin is hanging around the buffet, having run into quite a few kids there yesterday.

And her patience is rewarded with the appearance of John! She eyes him, taking in the bruises that she can see, before walking over to him.]

Hello!

oh but how fun would mini!Bobby be with mini!John

[worstestone]

[John takes a moment to stare at the girl who greeted him. What is it with these friendly women? In fact, just to be sure, he glances over his shoulder to make sure it was him she greeted. Satisfied that there's no one behind him, he turns back, frowning.]

Hi.

they would be the bestest buddies

[eventfulfists]

[That frown is unacceptable John.]

Did you get kidnapped by the Captain too?

foreeeeverrrrrrrrrrrrrr but torin can be his best buddy for now?

[worstestone]

[Well, now you're just confusing him and he frowns more.]

Who's the captain?

derp, internet failure

[Jael had originally come to the buffet so she could get some food, but the sight of the boy sitting alone at a table piques her interest.

So instead of getting food, she heads over to him, nervously pulling her hair around her long ears, not that it hides them at all.]

baww, its okay, I accept your failure

[worstestone]

[John watches the girl warily as she approaches, eying her ears just a bit. Those aren't natural... she could be--just maybe--probably not--but is she a mutant, like him? He swallows and stares at her.]

Hello.

;A; Thank you bb

[mutedevents]

[Jael tilts her head in confusion, shrugging at John and shaking her head.

When she speaks, it's definitely not English.]

I can't understand you.

..that came out wrong, I definitely meant your web's failure, but okay...

[worstestone]

[Well, that's not English. Way to make John's life more difficult, world.

He takes a breath. John's not used to socializing, let alone with other children, but that's mostly because other children don't want to socialize with him. This girl isn't giving him nasty looks or ignoring him, so... maybe this could be something good.

A little shakily, he points at his chest.]

John.
