[letsgoonmyouji]

[Since going back to being a kid has turned him into the biggest socialite ever, Waka's happily trucking about all of Vatheon exploring. Socialite or not he's kind of wary about talking to adults, he was warned about what most humans were like... kids were okay though, right?]

Hey, why're you just wanderin' around? Are you lost too?

[childcomposer]

[Weird kid, but hey, he's received the 'weird kid' treatment before, so he's not about to give it to Waka. Joshua nods once.]

Yes, I'm lost. I don't really know where I am...or how I got here.

[letsgoonmyouji]

[Very weird. Look at those sandals.]

Don't worry! It seems like a nice place! I'd know. [He taps his chest with his thumb, seeming proud of himself.]

I can't sense any bad stuff around! So you'll be okay.

[childcomposer]

[What are you? He blinks. Huh. This kid has some weird sixth sense, too?]

You can sense if something's bad?

[shibuya_rave]

[Stil wandering around, though at the moment he's moving slowly, spraying wides circles on the ground. By the end of this day, Vatheon with be covered in his artworks, because he's an artist, and artist's paint stuff.

It is in the middle of this careful, determined walking that he notices he's spraying some poor kid into a circle. Neku blinks, surprised...then smiles brightly.]

Hi!

[childcomposer]

[Yes, artists paint stuff, but it's not nice to almost paint another kid. Joshua jumps, almost as surprised, and he's not sure how to handle this kid's cheer. Most of the time, people do this on purpose.]

Um...hi.

[shibuya_rave]

[He didn't get any on him, so it's all okay! Playing artist is abandoned in favor of regarding this other kid with interest.]

I'm Neku! Neku Sakuraba; what's your name? Do you live here?

[childcomposer]

[Eep, rapid-fire questions! At least they're simple questions, unlike a certain group he can name.]

I'm...Yoshiya Kiryu. I don't...think I live here. Um, it does not look like what I remember home being.

[shard_finder]

Kagome saw the small child and she walked up to him. She knelt down in front of him and flashed him a smile.

"Well hello. My name is Kagome, what's yours?"

[childcomposer]

The child shifted his weight shyly, returning her bright smile for one that was tentative. He had to remind himself that this wasn't Shibuya, so it was likely that nobody around here knew about him.

"...Yoshiya. It's, um, nice to meet you, Miss Kagome."

[shard_finder]

Kagome smiled even more. What a very polite child.

"It's nice to meet you too Yoshiya."

She glanced around Vatheon. She had a weak spot for children and she was worried about letting him go without supervision. "Do you live around here?"

Ignore the words in my icons, they were all I had. ;;

[childcomposer]

A shame he'd lose some of this when he gets older. The child gave her a shrug.

"I don't...really know. Um, I don't know how I got here or anything." He looked disappointed, or perhaps 'sad' was the better term.

[youngdefender]

Riku loved exploring, but this... made him seem to be a bit more nervous. This had to be the outside world, 'cause there was nothing like all these tall buildings back home on either island. Maybe... I should see if Sora's here, too. At least then he'd know someone here.

He was a bit wary, but hey... Wasn't that slightly older kid a bit lost? "...You don't know where you are either, huh."

[childcomposer]

Joshua wasn't exactly sure what to say to the kid, but it seemed like he didn't know him, which was a plus in a big way. The child shook his head, shifting his weight a little.

"No, I don't. I wasn't sure who to ask, either." He shrugged a little helplessly.

...You did not see the icon fail. >>;

[youngdefender]

It probably doesn't help matters if they're both a bit on the shy side, either. So Riku tilted his head to the side, crossing his arms. "Hm..." Well, this wasn't good. If they both could stick together, maybe they'd figure this out. "Why don't we ask one of the adults. Maybe they'd know," Riku offered, giving the other kid a faint smile. "I'm Riku."

...No, I didn't. |3

[childcomposer]

"That's a good idea," he replied, and gave a shy smile in return, "I'm Yoshiya. Um, nice to meet you, Riku."

Joshua had to admit that it would be better if they stuck together. Two pairs of eyes were better than one, and it was safer to be in a group.

"Where should we start, do you think?"

[benevolist]

[ When Neku had called him "mom" that one time, Aziraphale had taken it as what it was; a little joke. He had never really expected to play the role of a mother, not at all. So, when this child curse hit he was quite amused, then realised how disastrous the results could be. Thus, he was searching for his "children", feeling relief when he found them. ]

Joshua.

[childcomposer]

[Joshua jumps a little, startled by the voice, and turns to face Aziraphale. He's honestly not sure what to think of this strange man, and gives him a curious head tilt.]

How come you know my nickname...? [Usually it was those phony therapist people who called him that in disgustingly sweet tones.]

[benevolist]

You told me it, dear boy.

[ The angel moves to kneel in front of Joshua, smiling softly. ]

This must be rather frightening, hm? It will be alright. I'm here to look after you.

[childcomposer]

[Aziraphale would be right about this being frightening. Well, he seems trustworthy. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry.]

...Um, are you some sort of therapist? [Josh winces at how rude that sounded.] I don't mean to be rude, sir.
