So, uh...

[Mikoto's in the park, looking pretty confused while sipping on a can of soda.  She's made sure to stuff the Sgt. Keroro cell phone strap she just bought into her pocket, but those with sharp eyes---or powers that allow them to have sharp vision---will catch onto that.  Do note the mass amount of children running around in the background,

.... Are you ok?

[Looking curious and maybe a little concerned because fff. She seems to be.. Having a bit of trouble, yeah.]

[canonarails]

----Dammit! Get back here, you little scamp----

[Oh uh sorry Minato she's preoccupied at the moment, so it takes her a hot second amidst the yelling and the boyish laughter for her to stammer out the reply of:]

M-Minato?! [Cue loud, nervous cough.] O-oh, w-well, uh, just having a slight bit of trouble as per usual, you know? Nothing I can't handle...

[Beat.]

.......You didn't see anything before I switched feeds, did you?

[kept_thepromise]

[Somewhat amused.]

.... Did you try asking him nicely to stop?

[The kid probably just wants to play and is missing having someone older around. That seems to be the case with a lot of them.]

... Nope. [Lies.]

[canonarails]

[Guess who is not amused. Le huff.]

You think he'd listen even if I did?

[Pfft, not like she'd really acknowledge that. She's pretty awful with kids, being something of a kid herself still. Still, she raises an eyebrow at his next statement.]

You better have not, or I'm going to zap all memory of it out of your brain.

[canonarails]

[PAUSE. Well, Bakura, you've served as a good enough distraction for Mikoto---she's stopped chasing after the kid (for the time being, anyway.) to notice that there's something off about your voice, nevermind your appearance----]

Apparently, but...that's not important at the moment, Bakura-san.

[She frowns for a second before asking:] ...You...got affected too, didn't you? So it's not just the civilians...

[Video]

[canonarails]

[SIGH. Oh, Bakura. But then again, he acts pretty youthful as it is, so.]

...You're being a good sport about it, it looks like. Now I'm wondering who else I know got de-aged.

[princesscliche]

Goodness...[that on-display drama's all well and good, but Giselle's stuck on the earlier point.] It seems a lot of people were magically changed! I wonder why...

[canonarails]

[A huff. There's a pause as Mikoto stops chasing after the kid to take a breath. When she manages to do that and stand up straight again, she grumbles:]

...It's probably someone's idea of a joke again, just like with the stupid rats and pigeons. And I don't know which one's worse.

[princesscliche]

[WHAT--]

Oh, no! Please don't say that! If something awful were to happen to these poor children the same way that--that-!

[canonarails]

[Pause at Giselle's sudden panic attack. Blink blink. Damn, someone's high-strung.]

Er, hey, it was just a figure of speech! Calm down! Besides, these kids are just acting up because they're kids, not because they're being controlled by some dumb robot!

video lol

[broroona]

Maybe you should start wearing pants.

video another combo just for you my cruel mistress 1/???

[canonarails]

[There. Is perhaps the longest pause to ever have taken place in existence in the middle of Mikoto catching her breath once she hears that all too familiar voice.

....why is her luck so made of fail.]

[canonarails]

B....

[Mikoto suddenly lapses into a coughing fit before yelling and turning the most hideous shade of red all the while:]

-----Baroona!

[canonarails]

You tell anyone about this and I'll zap you and then tie you to a car, do you understand me?!

[And no, that is NOT an idle threat. Hell, Mikoto, in spite of her ridiculous blushing, is giving her comm (and therefore Baroona) the worst look she can muster.]

I swear, dammit!

[Video]

[canonarails]

[Oh, god. Mikoto grumbles for a moment and facepalms before quickly snapping:]

No!

[Video]

[canonarails]

Anyway, how've you been?

[Enjoy that subject change as Mikoto tromps over to a bench and takes a deep breath.]

Have you managed to get some training in?
