5th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Voice/Action Backdated to Monday's morning

[flamesofanger]

[During the past two weeks, Smoker, resident of Community Building 1, room 27, got some company in the form of a small kid named Ikki. Said kid though, is now again his proper age and though he intentionally slacked on saying much during the past day once he woke up as his normal self, Ikki supposes that it's about time to... He doesn't know, but

Comments

[justicereigns]

Yeah? [So talkative.]

[flamesofanger]

You in the apartment?

[It's okay, Ikki isn't really talkative either. And he's not a kid anymore so...]

[justicereigns]

Yeah around the room, hang on.

[Comes out carrying a cup of coffee and book from the kitchen.]

Hn?

[flamesofanger]

[He could have gone out of the room himself, you know. Anyway... Honestly Ikki thinks this is what people say 'feel awkward'. He didn't feel like this even after he tried to kill his brothers and revived later to fight on their side. He had just... Thrown the guilt and distrust over his shoulder and moved forward. It was easier to deal with that than with this. After all as a kid he had looked up a lot at Smoker, more than he has ever looked up to any adult. At least it's someone he already knew, it would be worse if not... Or maybe it would be easier?]

Yeah... I wanted to properly thank you for taking me in during those past days. I hope I didn't cause you much trouble.

[mikangirl]

Many of us.

[Stuffy voice is stuffy.]

[flamesofanger]

I remember the place filled with kids.

[So not surprised. Ikki arches an eyebrow at what seems to be a stuffed voice but ignores it.]

Mind if I ask for how long the effect lasted?

[mikangirl]

Uhh. Different for different people. For me it was about a week.

[flamesofanger]

Two weeks here.

[The Malnosso liked him kindergartened apparently.]

That would explain why some kids seemed to vanish after a few days.

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

I don't know how many exactly were affected, but my entire household was for a while. That was...interesting.

[Voice]

[flamesofanger]

[A whole house full of children...]

It certainly sounds like that. Has this happened other before?

[He remembers comments about the experiments being a repeat, at least some of them.]

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

Not that I recall, but the thought bubbles and teleporting...that definitely happened. The alternate realities, too.

[Voice]

[flamesofanger]

I was hit by the teleporting and bubbles for a while too. How long have you been here?

[boomchucka]

Heya!

[flamesofanger]

Hey. What's up, Selphie?

[boomchucka]

Not too much right now. What's up, Ikki?

[flamesofanger]

I was thinking about going to my old apartment to get bring my things to where I'm staying. But other than that there's not much to say. There's little to do here when there aren't any experiments or no evil doer is causing a ruckus around.

[no_use_running]

I was younger for awhile.

[flamesofanger]

I was stuck at it for the whole two weeks.

[The journal pictures aren't really helpful to make people be recognizable after going through a growth spurt unfortunately.]

Spent a good while just running around trying to find my little brother.

[Even ended at the Welcome Center with a girl, after helping a bit another girl on her running away from her orphanage... Maybe he should try to check how those two are now. He knows that Selphie is alright already.]

[no_use_running]

It seems it's over now.

[flamesofanger]

Thankfully. At least I prefer to be my right size and age.
