[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

I like having friends, Nanako. Thank you for being my friend.

[And she smiles broadly.]

What do you like to do with your friends?

[She asks as she takes the flower.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

You are very welcome.

[Manners. She has them, at least.]

My name is Kairi. It is very nice to meet you. What is your name?

[Suuuuper polite for the pretty pony.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

Ah-?

[She does start to fall in, getting her whole lower-half wet and splashing her upper-half, but then there's hands around her and she has NO idea who this is.]

Uh oh?

[She wonders if she's in trouble, but isn't bothered by being wet at least.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[She looks like she's thinking very hard.]

Hishikyo... Shkibikyi.... uhm... Your name is harder to say than the flower's!

[She pouts a little.]

Do you have a nickname?

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

Aww... I'm sorry you lost her. Where did you see her last?

[She's definitely prepared to help him look.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

My name is Kairi! It's very nice to meet you.

[She says proudly like she's rehearsed that phrase to say to adults.]

Are you all right?

[The weight of the girl, even with wet clothing, is nothing; Dust hefts her up and back onto the log with sure strength, keeping his own balance with equally steadfast agility. Phew.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

Burnininating?

[She giggles.]

That's a funny word, Lea! I like dragons... can you hum the song?

[She'd at least like to know the tune.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

No, if it's not right - if I'm not saying it right...

[She looks frustrated and pouting, her hands up by her sides.]

Please say it again! I promise to listen harder this time!

[Besides, she's not lost, so this is more important.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

Aster...

Tulips...

Tea Roses...

Snapdragons!!

[Kairi excitedly repeats all of the names after him, but that one gets her super-excited. One of her new friends was drawing a dragon earlier.]

And sunflower! And... daisy!

[She points back to the first one.]

You're so smart, mister.

[And she gives him a one-armed hug around his leg for telling her all of these things.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[Kairi shakes her head no.]

I don't remember either. I know where my home is now... Artemis. The temple is called Artemis.

[Not the person, the temple, so she thinks.]

I think it's far away from other people? Uhm... other people can go there. I went with them once.

[Or twice, or three times, but she did get to the Near Shore.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[Kairi shakes her head no.]

She didn't go anywhere - she stayed at her temple, where we made the flower crowns!

[She points back behind herself and who knows if it's even the right direction.]

Shikyobiki... Hibyoi... uhmm...

[She had a lot of trouble with this name earlier!]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[Kairi nods happily yes.]

Ish uhm--

[Crumbles start falling out of her mouth, as she realizes she shouldn't talk with her mouth full, so she swallows what she was eating.]

It's very good!

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[She giggles a bit.]

My friend gave them to me, so I give them to you.

[Because she likes giving gifts, obviously.]

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[ She laughs at how excited he is. She'd rather he be this excited, truthfully... she'll just have to take lots of photos to show him later on. ]

Don't worry Carl, we can look for whatever you're really excited about! Whether that's ... I don't know...

[ She points across the street. ]

A skateboard? Maybe stickers for a skateboard? Or a puzzle... they make 3D puzzles, you know. Maybe a board game... event sewing or crochet or knitting. There's all kinds of things you could be interested in! What catches your eye?

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[Little does Kairi realize that she and Forrest will both be tiny the next day.]

Wait, you've come across... how many people now that aren't expecting to be this age currently? Because I'm seeing a whole lot of toddlers right about now.

[And thus for her they aren't so much 'check up on' visits as 'corralling cats'.]

"Hibiki" is fine!

[ Grinnnn. ] But you didn't say your name.

[[OOC: Cont. from here]]

[She smiles brightly at the cheek kiss.]

A nap right after waking up-- oh wait, you've been up since dawn, how could I forget?

[But she relaxes against his arm and leans her head against his, perfectly content.]

I don't think it counts as a nap if we stay awake, anyway. And I like this too much to fall asleep.

[[Tag-ins still welcome, original prompts here.]]

A couple now. Some people... realize that they're not supposed to be that age, but others are acting like they've always been that old. Todoroki is five, but he knows he's supposed to be around sixteen.

[[From here.]]

[While Shun doesn't outright dismiss the expression of sympathy as he might with others, he does rather pointedly go back to his tea and not remark on it. It's his loss, and one he can't help but feel partially responsible for somewhere deep in him. He'll deal with the trauma himself.

There's a faint sigh of annoyance at what Fubuki chooses to switch the topic to from there, though.] I take care of myself fine. You all just choose to waste your energy on worrying.

[He's particularly determined not to look worn down right now, with Fubuki seemingly a bit distracted by these past events and Ren with his own worse problems they'd talked about before all this started happening.]

Continuations here~

[[From here]]

[Yukine breathes out a shallow laugh.] I don’t think anyone’d be disappointed by you.

[Sorry not-sorry older Kurosaki-sama. The younger you seems a lot easier to get along with (but the older you still has his fun points too).]

That’s pretty serious though… I’ve come across a bunch of other people who don’t remember anything, too. The ones who got older don’t seem to have forgotten stuff, but for the ones who got younger some did and some didn’t.

It sucks, but about all we can do right now is wait and see if this whatever-it-is undoes itself in another day or two…
I wouldn’t mind looking like this forever, gotta say. But it’s more important that everyone go back to normal. [And people not remembering what he looked like before takes a lot of fun out of it anyway.]
