[galddigger]

[These past few days have been nothing short of weird. How does one react to being repeatedly told by several people that the life that you've known to be true is a lie, that they remember you being someone completely different?]

[This is why Older!Anise has decided to try and avoid people she (thinks) she knows for a bit. She escaped from Professor

[galddigger]

[Anise has since let go of the doll, and it's now lying on the floor, at a regular size.]

[Anise is still kind of baffled, though, staring at Tokunaga with disbelief written all over her face.]

[galddigger]

Ah - wha... [Oh there's someone here.]

... S-Sorry, I didn't see you there. Uh, I'm fine, but... [THAT DOLL WTF]

[action]

[cherishedlight]

[Well... that looks interesting, anyway. Almost enough to catch the girl's attention as she walks past.]

... Yours?

[action]

[galddigger]

[Anise just looks sort of beweildered.]

... Yes. I think. Sort of. [Well, she did own a couple but that was when she was what, eleven?]

[action]

[cherishedlight]

What is it? It doesn't seem alive. [And that's a shame.]

[action]

[galddigger]

It's a doll, it isn't normally supposed to be alive...! [She stares at the toy with accusing eyes.]

[nocapesorcowls]

[Hello Anise. Guess who just saw Tokunaga grow in size. Such a thing immediately catches his eye an he comes over to her. His voice is both polite and friendly.]

Quite an impressive trick, miss.

... 8D

[galddigger]

[Alas, Mr. Wayne. Anise is too flustered to make a coherent sentence.]

It - but - I didn't even...!

[nocapesorcowls]

[Bruce raises an eyebrow, and looks at the very large doll, then back to Anise.]

You mean this was an accident?

[galddigger]

Well, I certainly didn't plan for it to do something like that...! [Anise retracts her hand, and the doll immediately shrinks down in size.]

... This is crazy. What on earth...

[offallingsnow]

[How unfortunate, then, that someone you know is by the barracks, training. Though she may be hard to place, what with her Malkuth uniform and all. When Tokunaga grows, she turns, narrowing her eyes at Anise. Gelda did warn her, but...]

[galddigger]

[Anise over here is just staring at the doll that is now lying on the ground. Trying to process the idea that something from her childhood is actually a weapon, what.]

[offallingsnow]

[Well, she'll come over. Anise in her younger incarnation is close enough to her...]

Afraid of your doll? [And definitely close enough to be teased]

[galddigger]

[Anise jumps - which should indicate how surprised she is, really she should've sensed someone's presence behind her.]

When it's doing things it shouldn't be doing? Maybe a little.

[maigonokoinu]

[Witnesses that!!]

... how did you do that, nee-san?

[galddigger]

[Anise answers without really thinking.]

You know, I don't know...?

[maigonokoinu]

You don't...?

The toys here aren't all like that, are they?

[galddigger]

I don't think so. Just - this one, I guess. [She picks the doll up - this time it stays at a normal size - and gives it a thoughtful frown.]
