[For those who look up (or happen to be up there themselves), they might spot Zen jumping from roof to roof. While that in itself is hardly unusual, they might also notice that... well, as you might expect, Zen happens to be quite a bit younger

Comments

[ninjaservant]

[spots his master jumping merrily from roof to roof but...something seems odd]

...Hm?

[after following him for a bit, he approaches] Master, don't tell me you lost your memories again. [...but wait. that's not all. .............was his Master looking younger??]

GET OUT. :|

[distanceheld]

[He turns to look at Obi, having been staring at the sky previously.]

... Who are you? I don't recall any servants looking like bandits.

[He's definitely on his guard-right now, in his eyes, no one can be trusted.]

SHIZUO AND KASUKA.

[ninjaservant]

[yes. he's definitely lost his memory. ...again. but now he's also younger....

Master, you really need to stop being so susceptible to these curses.]

I'm your father's brother's sister's aunt's niece's daughter's son who was sent to look after you, Young Master Zen.

... /KICKS OUT

[distanceheld]

[Dot. Dot. Dot.]

... Do you seriously expect me to believe that?

[onceageneral]

[The ten year old watched as a figure suddenly landed a few feet from her. Her head tilts to the side before her own gazed moved to the "sky".]

No way... [Brows furrowed before she looked to him.] That's what I'd like to know. [Hand rest against her hip.]

[distanceheld]

Hmm?

[Another kid. Maybe she'd been kidnapped too?]

You just woke up here as well, I'm guessing?

[onceageneral]

Yeah. And I found this odd device.

[Holds out the SFC.]

According to this there are more.

[distanceheld]

Hmm, I found one too...

[He takes out his own, before pressing a few buttons and entering the network.]

This is definitely weird.

[applelore]

[One young child is walking nearby when he hears that and turns, giving Zen a weird look.]

Magic.

[Duh.]

[distanceheld]

[Have that weird look right back at you.]

... What?

[applelore]

You stupid? Magic is why we're here! Probably the faeries idea of fun, heh.

[distanceheld]

... Are you even listening to yourself talk? You're crazy.

[letsgoonmyouji]

Can't you see the barrier? It's real powerful.

[Little boy on stilt-sandals yelling up at you from down on the path below. He's not there for long though - with one jump, as light as a feather, he lands with a soft tap onto the roof beside Zen.]

[distanceheld]

[He just stares because what how did he do that.]

... Barrier?

[letsgoonmyouji]

[You train for all your little-boy onmyouji life and do nothing else. )8]

Yeah! [He points up up uuuup.] See how the waters not comin' through? There's a barrier!

[distanceheld]

[... I'll stick with regular roof-jumping, thanks.

He looks up.]

I guess that makes sense...

[A beat]

-Wait, what am I saying? That doesn't make sense at all! How is there a barrier?

[redcloakedthief]

[...]

Haha, of course. Vatheon does have a sense of humor.

[distanceheld]

[Head whipping around to the source of the sound-

... This guy looks a lot like some kind of bandit or something.]

Who are you?

[redcloakedthief]

You can call me Matthew. Who are you?

[Grin.]

You look pretty lost.

[distanceheld]

Matthew, huh...? I'm Zen.

[He frowns.]

I'll find my way home.
