I'm not a patrolman, but I'm all right, Mr. Stoneface. I'm not a little kid.

[stonyfaced]

How little are you, then?

She's judging by bra size but let's not go there

[blindedmewith]

I think possibly twelve.

probably the best idea XD

[stonyfaced]

Oh. Well, that's a relief. I doubt your services will be needed unless we've got a troop of homicidal toddlers running about which is not entirely unbelievable but if they are, you'll be able to reach the doors at least.

[blue_shields]

I'm still my normal age, sir.

[stonyfaced]

Glad to hear it, Sky. We're all going to be double shifting for a while, unless Bastet requires your assistance in the Guard. Which, come to think of it, she probably will. We may be relying on volunteers for a short while.

[blue_shields]

I've already been on lunch detail for her, so I'm sure she'll need me to watch the Hatchery, too. I'll help the other members of the Watch as much as I can, though.

[There's a pause as a thought occurs to him. Wait. He'll be busy helping Bastet AND the Guard- even normally he's quite busy, actually, considering that he works two jobs- and there's a splotch as something clicks into place in his mind. OH.]

I'll see if I can round anybody else up who's willing and able to help us. Thankfully not all of us are small children.

It's a relief to have confirmation that this isn't permanent. While I'm still old enough to function, I'll watch out for those younger with motor skill issues.

Thank you.

[stonyfaced]

Please do. I reckon there'll be a few spills and more than a few people getting burned while trying to cook, so I appreciate it. Last time this happened, it was only for three or four days.

[monodynamist]

That's a relief to hear. It would be difficult to keep Edensphere functioning if it was any longer.

[feathered_earth]

You got younger again?

[stonyfaced]

Yeah. I'm about... Gods, sixteen? Fifteen? You probably won't be able to recognize me.

[Pentaps. He saw your entry about the fourth floor, Cara. B|]

How about you? Are you all right?

[feathered_earth]

Oh, same age as me! ...But that probably means you're still bigger.

[Ummm.]

I'm all right. And my wrist is better.

[ice_echani]

I am still the correct age, fortunately.

[stonyfaced]

What a relief. Good. As I was saying to Sky, I'm going to need you to doubleshift and we may have to get some volunteers. We should only need a couple, but if I get overwhelmed, I'm sure that you can train them for their preliminary duties. Frankly, I suspect that we shall be doing more babysitting than anything else considering the general spirit about the place.

[ice_echani]

Very well. I know a few people who may be suitable volunteers; I will spar with them as soon as possible... I think we will be up to the task of rounding up miniaturized ruffians, should they cause undue trouble.
