ph33r my rod: *wakes up after a random act of falling asleep in his computer chair, starts making his way downstairs... something's just a little bit off though* "...uh?"
Omega19x: *Ryou is sitting on the couch, reading a book. He looks up, and sees Malik*
ph33r my rod: *blinku blinku*
Omega19x: (are we chibis yet?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yes. :x ))
Omega19x: (oh)
ph33r my rod: *wonders if the stairs grew*
Omega19x: *make that: Ryou WAS sitting on the couch, reading a book... until he found the book much too big, and the words inside it much too big too*
Omega19x: *blinks at the book in confusion*
ph33r my rod: "..." *wonders if he's still asleep or something... everything looks so big* "Ryou?" *voice comes out in a high-pitched squeak, covers mouth* "...nnnn"
Omega19x: *blink blink* "... Ma...malik?" *his voice is even more high pitched than usual.
Omega19x: *
ph33r my rod: *walks over to where Ryou's sitting on the couch, can't see him from behidn the book* "...where are you?"
Omega19x: *peeks over the book*
ph33r my rod: *eep!*
Omega19x: "... what... Why are you... so little?"
Omega19x: "... why am I so little?"
ph33r my rod: "...what?" *looks down at self* "WHAA?" *falls over in surprise*
Omega19x: "... you... you look like... you're four years old..."
ph33r my rod: "...." *climbs up on couch with some difficulty* "So do you..."
Omega19x: *looks down* "...eeeeeee!!"
Omega19x: *not only does Ryou look like he's four, but he's also on the couch, which to him, is very high up. And he doesn't like being in high places*
ph33r my rod: *crawls over to Ryou* "...what's going on?"
Omega19x: (me having to change clothes, family has announced we're going out to eat tonight)
ph33r my rod: (( Eep. Kay. ))
Omega19x: "I... I don't know..."
Omega19x: (and now they say they;'re ready to go, the instant I sit back down)
Omega19x: (I'll bbl)
ph33r my rod: (( *headdesk* Kay. ))
Omega19x is away at 6:43:42 PM.
Omega19x returned at 7:58:48 PM.
Omega19x: (back!)
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ 8D ))
Omega19x: (back to chibified goodness?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yes. XD ))
ph33r my rod: "Ryou? ... This is really really weird."
Omega19x: "One minute... I... I was reading...and the next...I... these words are really big... I... I don't know them."
ph33r my rod: "Lemme see." *peeks at book* "...um..." *pouts* "I can't read that..."
Omega19x: *tries to sound out title* "... purg...purga... tor...i...o... By... Dan..te?"
Omega19x: *sniffle* "I... I can't read it..."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: *pouts again* "I don't like this."
Omega19x: *sniffle*
Omega19x: "... me... I don't like it neither..."
ph33r my rod: *cuddles up next to Ryou* "Don't cry, Ryou. Um... maybe we're dreaming?"
Omega19x: *wibble*
Omega19x: (where's Nanny Isis?)
ph33r my rod: (( On her way home from work, I'd guess. She just posted from there. 8D;; ))
ph33r my rod: *wibbles too* "I wanna see Isis..."
Omega19x: "... I want my... my..." *was about to say Mommy... but Mommy is dead.*
Omega19x: (as chibis, do they think like 4 year olds, or do they have conception of who they really are?)
ph33r my rod: (( ... I hadn't thought of that. ))
Omega19x: (well, Ryou knows he can't read the words, but that he should be able to, so I guess at best, they do know. At worst, they have a vague impression that this isn't real.)
ph33r my rod: (( That makes sense. ))
Omega19x: (so they have all their memories, but it's all very vague)
ph33r my rod: (( Like, maybe they only know bits and pieces of who they really are, or something? ))
Omega19x: (okay)
Omega19x: *thinks to himself* "I... I don't... think they're coming... I... I don't know how I... I know this... but... mommy... and... and daddy, and Ammie are gone..."
Omega19x: "... they... they must have left me..." *wibble*
Omega19x: "... are... are we the... the only ones here?"
ph33r my rod: *climbs up on the back of the couch* "ISIS! Are you here?" *silence* "..." *looks around for a few moments, then drops back down onto the cushions* "She's not here either..." *wibble*
Omega19x: *curls up with a throw pillow*
Omega19x: "...Malik... I...I'm scared..."
Omega19x: *wibbly wibble*
ph33r my rod: *nods and clings to Ryou* "I'm scared too... let's stay close to each other, 'kay? I don't wanna be here by myself..." *wibble*
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: *wibble*
Omega19x: (Isis might want to come home soon)
ph33r my rod: *hears something outside*
ph33r my rod: *eep!*
Omega19x: *hides under pillow*
ph33r my rod: *sounds like someone's fiddling with the doorknob* "Eeeep!" *hides under other pillow*
Omega19x: *quiver and wibble*
ph33r my rod: *enters house after a few moments, looks around but doesn't see the two chibis hiding on the couch* "Malik? Are you home?"
ph33r my rod: *pokes head out from under pillow* "Isiiiiis!" *hops off of the couch and runs to her, latching on to her leg*
ph33r my rod: "..." *blink blink*
Omega19x: *still under pillow, quivering*
ph33r my rod: *looks down to see a ball of blonde clinging to her leg* "...Malik?"
ph33r my rod: *looks up at her with big wibbly purple eyes*
Omega19x: "...is... is it gone?"
ph33r my rod: "Ryou, it's just Isis. You don't need to hide, she won't hurt you!"
ph33r my rod: "....." *bends down and picks up chibi!Malik, carrying him over to the couch* "... Ryou? Is that you?"
Omega19x: *pokes head out from couch*
Omega19x: "...y..yes..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *sighs* "Oh dear... I was afraid of this."
Omega19x: *ducks back under the pillow*
ph33r my rod: *puts Malik down on the couch next to Ryou, sits down on the other side* "..."
ph33r my rod: *latches on to Ryou again* "What happened, Isis...?"
Omega19x: "... I'm... scared..."
ph33r my rod: *sighs and pulls the Millennium Tauk out of her pocket* "... I tried to use it, and... it showed me a vision of this happening to you. Perhaps it actually turned you two into... well, children. It has been acting rather strange lately..."
Omega19x: "... I...I don't wanna be a kid... It... it was scary enough the first time..."
Omega19x: *finally just sobs, like any good chibi would do*
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and gently pets Ryou's hair* "I'm sorry this happened. I didn't know that the Tauk would do this."
ph33r my rod: *clings and wibbles*
Omega19x: *cry cry cry*
ph33r my rod: "Isis? Can you... try and turn us back? Maybe?" *big wibbly eyes*
ph33r my rod: "I... I can try..." *puts the Tauk around her neck* "I can't promise anything." *closes eyes and concentrates*
Omega19x: *blinks*
Omega19x: *tears still running down his chibi face*
ph33r my rod: *crosses fingers* "Please work please work please work..."
ph33r my rod: *Tauk starts glowing, then stops after a few moments* "..." *opens eyes and looks at them*
Omega19x: *blink*
ph33r my rod: "It... should've worked. I saw you two turn back to normal... perhaps it'll take some time for it to work..."
Omega19x: *cry*
ph33r my rod: "... I'm sorry. I don't know what else we can do except... just wait."
Omega19x: (take them to a park or something)
Omega19x: (playgrounds are fun)
ph33r my rod: (( ... Quite so. XD ))
ph33r my rod: "... Since you may be stuck as kids for a while... do you want to go do something? Ryou, were there any places you liked to go when you were a kid?" *small smile*
ph33r my rod: (( Since Malik's childhood was spent underground... 8| ))
Omega19x: *crawls out from behind the pillow, temporarily*
Omega19x: "... um... Mommy would take me and Ammie to the big park... with the playground..." *sniffle*
ph33r my rod: "..." *thinks for a moment* "I think there's one of those around here... I'll take you two there if you want."
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
Omega19x: "... could... could we?"
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: *wipes tears with his free arm*
ph33r my rod: (( *dies* I'm watching this movie on the Sci-Fi channel... and apparently there's some guy named Malik in it. XD ))
Omega19x: (ROFL)
ph33r my rod: (( *amused* ))
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: *stands up and holds out her hands for Malik and Ryou to take* "Let's go." *smile*
Omega19x: *hesitantly takes Isis' hand, still wibbling*
ph33r my rod: *does too*
ph33r my rod: *magical timelapse?*
Omega19x: *timelapse*
ph33r my rod: *at park*
ph33r my rod: *walking up to playground with chibis*
Omega19x: *walking, almost tripping every few steps, and looking around at all the big slides and swings*
ph33r my rod: *looking around at everything too*
Omega19x: "... can... we go play on the see saw, Miss Isis?"
ph33r my rod: (( *squees* Awww! ))
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Be careful, okay? Show Malik how it works, he's never been on one before."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "... here... you... you climb on that end..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "... Kay." *climbs on*
Omega19x: "... now I... climb on this side..." *tries to pull it down, so he can climb on, but isn't quite strong enough*
ph33r my rod: *lifts Ryou up onto the other side*
Omega19x: *grabs onto the handle* "... now... you push up, and I'll go down when you go up!"
ph33r my rod: "... Okay..." *grabs the handle and pushes up with his feet*
Omega19x: *Ryou goes down*
Omega19x: *he pushes up with his feet*
ph33r my rod: (( That sounded so wrong-- *SHOT* ))
ph33r my rod: *eeeep!*
Omega19x: *whee, and giggle*
ph33r my rod: *watches them, smiling... she had forgotten how innocent her brother was as a kid*
ph33r my rod: "...eeee!" *giggle*
Omega19x: *and as if on cue, when flying up, Ryou looses his grip, and falls off the seesaw.
ph33r my rod: "...!"
Omega19x: *crash*
Omega19x: *the lack of weight on Ryou's end of the seesaw makes Malik go down fast*
ph33r my rod: *his side of the seesaw hits the ground and doesn't move* "Owww... whaa?" *blinks*
ph33r my rod: "...oh no!" *quickly moves over to where Ryou fell* "Ryou? Are you alright...?"
Omega19x: *sniffle*
Omega19x: *at least he didn't fall on the already injured arm*
ph33r my rod: *hops off the seesaw and runs over*
Omega19x: *but his other arm is all scraped from falling in the playground rocks*
ph33r my rod: *wibble* "Y'okay, Ryou? You fell off."
Omega19x: "... I... I think so..."
Omega19x: "... it's hard to... to hold on... with one hand..."
ph33r my rod: *gently takes hold of his arm and examines it* "Your arm got a little bit scraped up, but thanfully it's not bleeding. Do you want to try something else where you don't need to hold on? Like, um..." *looks around playground* "...the slide?"
Omega19x: *sniffle* "...o..okay..."
Omega19x: *reaches out for Malik's hand*
ph33r my rod: *takes it and pulls him up to his feet*
Omega19x: *and off to the slide*
Omega19x: *which, fortunately, has a lot of little platforms to climb up, and not a difficult ladder*
ph33r my rod: *blinku blinku*
Omega19x: *climb climb*
ph33r my rod: *climbs*
Omega19x: *sits on the top of the big yellow twisty slide, and slides slowly down*
ph33r my rod: *watches Ryou slide down, then slides down himself*
Omega19x: *climbs up, and slides again*
Omega19x: *small smile*
ph33r my rod: *does too, giggling*
Omega19x: "... wanna play on... on the swings next?"
ph33r my rod: *nods!* "You think you can hold on?"
Omega19x: *points to a tire swing*
Omega19x: "... I can sit in that..."
ph33r my rod: "Kay."
Omega19x: *a tire, hanging horizontally flat with three chains*
Omega19x: "... gimmie boost?"
ph33r my rod: (( Like, as in pushing him or helping him up into it? ))
Omega19x: (helping him up into it)
ph33r my rod: *nods and somehow helps Ryou up into the swing*
Omega19x: (okay... here I go looking at job things again late at night... BAD DEZ. Close window!)
ph33r my rod: (( Clooose windoooow! ))
Omega19x: *half sits, half lays across the top of the tire*
ph33r my rod: *gives the swing a little push*
ph33r my rod: (( I am getting sooo many cute little artbunnies from this. X3 ))
Omega19x: *whee!!*
Omega19x: *suddenly feels a bit... strange*
ph33r my rod: *blinku*
Omega19x: *the next thing he knows, he's back to full size Ryou, sitting in a tire swing at the park*
Omega19x: *blink*
ph33r my rod: *is also back to normal* "... Uh?" *blink blink*
ph33r my rod: "..." *blinks... that was random*
Omega19x: "... what's going on?'
ph33r my rod: *holds onto the chains on the swing, blinks in confusion* "..."
ph33r my rod: "... Looks like you two are back to normal."
ph33r my rod: (( Nothing gets past Isis... >>; ))
Omega19x: *blinks*
Omega19x: "... why are we at the playground? And why am I in a tire swing? ... And... how'd I scrape up my arm?"
ph33r my rod: *walks up to swing, taking Tauk out of pocket* "I tried to use this earlier, and... saw a vision of you and Malik turning into kids. It's been acting peculiar lately... when I got home from work, you two were... well, kids. This must've done it..."
Omega19x: "... how... strange..."
Omega19x: "... you mean... that wasn't a dream?"
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "No, it was quite real."
Omega19x: "... for a moment, I was hoping it was... and that I just sleepwalked out here somehow..."
ph33r my rod: *blink blink* "... Isis, your Tauk is really screwy. Maybe you should... y'know... stop trying to use it, if it's gonna do weird things like this."
Omega19x: *shivers* "... I don't think I want to be a kid again... It... it was pretty scary..."
Omega19x: "... the world is... just so big..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah... though it was pretty cool to see it from... somewhere other than underground. Can't say that I'd like to do it again, though."
Omega19x: "... but... as long as we're here... maybe... we should... play?"
ph33r my rod: *shrug* "I guess so."
Omega19x: "... um.... push?"
Omega19x: *shrug*
ph33r my rod: *smiles and pushes*
Omega19x: *spins around on the tire swing*
ph33r my rod: *sits down on a nearby swing, just barely moving it*
Omega19x: *eventually the spinning stops, and Ryou tries to stand up again. This leads to falling over onto the pebbles*
Omega19x: (at least, that's what happened the last time I was in a tire swing)
ph33r my rod: *smiles a little, amused* "... Dizzy?" *reaches out to help him up*
Omega19x: "... yeah... Your... turn..."
Omega19x: *takes the hand, but falls over anyway*
ph33r my rod: *pulled down too, blinks*
Omega19x: "... It made me less dizzy... I think... when I was closer to the ground..." *thinks back about being a child*
ph33r my rod: *sits up, shakes some gravel out of his shirt* "A lot of things are different when you're closer to the ground."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: *slowly stands up* "... your turn, Malik..."
Omega19x: "I'll push you if you want..."
ph33r my rod: *nods and stands up, hopping onto the swing* "Kay."
Omega19x: *pushes Malik*
Omega19x: *and giggles a bit*
ph33r my rod: *spins!* "Whoaaaaaa~"
Omega19x: *lets go, and just lets Malik spin*
ph33r my rod: *spinspinspin, laughs*
Omega19x: "... now you try to stand up... and see if you don't fall down!"
ph33r my rod: *stops spinning and tries to stand up* "Hooooly Ra... am I still spinning?" *falls over* "Eep..."
Omega19x: *laughs*
ph33r my rod: "Yeah... definitely still spinning..."
Omega19x: "... here..." *holds out hand*
ph33r my rod: *takes his hand and tries to stand* "Oi..."
ph33r my rod: *falls over again* "Eep!"
Omega19x: *giggles, and tries to pull harder*
ph33r my rod: *finally manages to stand up, but is still a little wobbly on his feet*
ph33r my rod: *just watches, amused*
Omega19x: "... not... so easy... is it..."
ph33r my rod: *leans against Ryou a bit to steady himself* "... Nope. I don't think I've been on something like that before."
Omega19x: "it is fun, though."
ph33r my rod: *finally un-dizzy* "Yeah, it was pretty fun." *snerk*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: (but I'm tired now. I think I'm gonna hit the sack)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay, night. :3 ))
