[There are two rather distinct problems Anri is having right now.

One, the sweater she is wearing is suddenly much too large for her, leaving her with swinging, flapping sleeves and the hem getting caught around her bent knees.

Two, she cannot reach the top cupboard in the shelter’s kitchen.

A bit of climbing helps her with the second problem but only drives home the first, and her efforts for getting toward the counter are a bit clumsy. It isn’t so bad until she knocks over a small row of clean drinking glasses, sending at least two of them crashing to the floor.

Feel free to come investigate the noise. Just keep an eye out for the quivering child cowering over the pile of broken glass, trying to pick it up in her oversized sleeves.]


((OOC: De-aged plus memory loss! Because I am ridiculous.))

[She touches the button. Afraid to do it and afraid not to do it.] Hello? Who's listening to this? We need help in here!

[She quickly turns, startled at some sound nearby and accidentally swipes her hand through the device temporarily short-circuiting the device and cutting the feed.]

Bzzzzzrt!

(OOC: Deaged and dememoried to 13 before being rescued by the X-Men. She will be sneaking around the dome, trying not to be noticed and maybe dodging through things to escape! Oh, and feel free to respond via video. Her headset will pick up bits and pieces and gradually get better.)

[He's only being paying half-attention to the network this morning, wrapped up in trying to plan his first rather empty day, so nothing has warned him off of trying the candy he finds in the shelter. Then, a few moments later...

A pretty young girl appears on the screen, and at first glance her hair might just look slightly floppy, but eventually someone looking closely will realize that those are lop-style bunny ears on the sides of her head. Anyone who runs into him will notice a new swelling around the chest and hip area of his straight-cut grey coat, which now looks rather ill-fitting.]

Well, I had heard that strange things could happen here, but I wasn't expecting this. [Lightly amused, her voice high and soft but not totally unfamiliar.] Anyone else have an... unusual reaction to anything they've eaten today?

((ooc: he's just outside of the shelter, and he's a girl with bunny ears and a tail!))

[ it seemed like such a good idea; go out early, get a small hoard of candy before anyone else has a chance, bring it back to his room. what could possibly go wrong with that plan!

he'll just be in the middle of your living space, Flynn, with a pillow case full of candy. Pillow cases were, like, made for this. ]

[There's some static at first and then audio, buzzing and krisssssssking with a familiar voice that does not sound quite the same.]

--me, h-how does this contraption wor--[and then there is video and a familiar face is looking with concern and confusion at the screen.]

Oh! [Blink. Surprise. A hand reaches up self-conscious to move a displaced strand of hair--almost as it used to tucking it behind something.]

Hello? Excuse me, I-I am not sure if this is working, but I do believe I'm lost. And I...I don't know how I got here. Am--Am I dead? Because this would be a rather awkward afterlife, indeed.

[Because heaven didn't involve being trapped in a body that wasn't hers last that she knew.]

Even if I... If that is so...this a mistake. Please. If anyone from the Order is here, I need help. Something is very wrong with me.

{OOC: Alma is suffering from memory loss! And has completely forgotten she is Alma. The memory of his past life are not all there, so she'll also been confused about that as she hides out inside the convenient store.}

[Once the excitement of the new puppy has subsided a little, Sheik makes his way across the hall.]

[He's definitely going to need to talk to Zelda - especially if there's any chance of danger for any of them.]

[Well, it doesn't take him long to figure out how to work this. He doesn't know where he is, but this place can't be good. He needs allies, and quickly.]

Excuse me, but could someone tell me where I am? I don't know what's going on.

I need to get back home. My aunt and uncle will be very angry at me if I'm not there before curfew.

[Of course, he could care less about their curfew, but it's a bother he'll deal with for a few more years.]

Is there a police officer around?

[[ooc; Memory loss Naoya! He's about seven.]]

[The video feed clicks on to a small, black-hired Japanese boy looking very perturbed with his situation looking at the camera. He has a now over-sized shirt clutched around him like a blanket.]

... does anyone know where I can find a store that has kid's clothing? [He voice then drops to a barely distinct mumble.] I'm Kamui. I think that candy did something to me.

[Then he reaches out and turns the feed off.]

[This? This is the tiniest confused whimper of a baby godpuppy who doesn't know where she is. Ammy the puppy goddess can be found near the entrance to the shelter, chewing worriedly on her communicator, which is transmuting her whimpers across the network. Where is she? This isn't home...]


((Ammy + candy = disaster. Age down and memory loss combo. Have at!))

[At first glance, you might not recognize the human teenager with light hair. He looks nothing like the stoic, stone-skinned and wire-haired man who sulks around in a mask, and he sure acts nothing like him. The boy is smiling, ear to ear, his joy almost infectious -- something one would never see from Zelgadis Greywars. At least not before his "cure."]

[He might be seen running through the park or playing in the water at the beach. Or lying on the grass in short sleeves, just enjoying the crisp weather. You could find him in the pizza parlor, devouring a pile of slices and a stack of sodas with gusto. Or maybe he finds you, eager as he is, for once, to just talk to people and shake their hand.]

[After all, it's a wonderful day.]

[ Get out of there, droid. The Pet Cafe is for kitties and doggies and bunnies, not for astromech droids. You aren't even an organic lifeform, so what are you doing with kitty ears and a tail? You may think that you're a kitty, droid, but I bet no one would like it if you tried to curl up on their face. You shouldn't try that, you aren't even fuzzy. ]

MEOW.

[VIDEO]

[That talk with WV about pumpkins really gnawed on him - SO shortly after Acumen's morning announcement you get a second, more specific request.]

Oi. Anyone thinking about carving pumpkins - do me a favor and save the waste. You know... seeds, guts, rinds, whatever's left over. You can either drop it off in the Shelter kitchen or tell me where to pick it up.

Thanks.

[ACTION - NOON ONWARDS]

[Curiosity shrank the eggplant. The thing about eating memory-erasing jawbreakers is that they continuosly make you forget why you're supposed to stop eating them. And if you top that off with another magical piece of candy (like you do) you'll get... well. A nine year old blond thing scurrying around the Shelter trying to 1) not freeze his ass off and 2) find clothes that fit him better than the over-sized shirt he's currently stuck with.

tl;dr - jumping on the de-aged-memory-loss bandwagon. Sanji's nine in every aspect. ]

[this chap on screen might look familiar to you. he's got a familiar haircut, and you might recognize the familiar green eye, but then his other eye is a different color entirely-- brown!--, and he's awful tall... and he's wearing an awful lot of black.]

Ah-- Hokuto-chan, I-- I need your help! [he looks a little frazzled, rubbing his head. his voice has deepened out a little, too.]

--I, um-- something happened-- none of my clothes fit-- and I think maybe I-- I'm not me anymore! [Subaru sounds truly distressed by this prospect, and hasn't quite parsed that it's less 'not himself' and more 'abruptly older'.]

--Oh! I'm, um, I'm Subaru! Does anyone know what happened? I-- I haven't done anything unusual!

[and then, a little tentatively;] The store here has gloves, right? [pity the pair he initially had; they suffered quite the death during his horrified flailing and snagged on the door frame. sleep in, get candy, abruptly be older, BE very confused... flail about like you have no sense.]

[ The feed flicks on to a very undertain face, like he's still getting to know the place and the communication device. He looks like he's about to speak, but clamps his mouth shut. Then he puts a finger up, looks like he is about to say something -- with conviction! -- but sighs instead. With a lopsided little smile, he looks at the camera in earnest. ]

I'm about to have uh... a strange little request here.

[He enunciates every word. He really means business.]

Can someone please say, "April Fools!"? Or maybe, "You're on Candid Camera!" or even, you know, wear a sideways baseball cap and rush me with a camera crew and say, "You just got punked"?

...

Please?

[Heavy sigh, as his face takes on a look that's more peeved than earnest.]

Barring that, I'm looking for a guy named Dean. Man, we need to talk about your car.


(( OOC: Someone's got a taste of some MEMORY LOSS CANDY, and is now reliving his first day in Marina! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO TROLL THE TRICKSTER, GUYS! >8D ))

[When he saw the bowls of candies around at the shelter, Atsuro couldn't help but grab some for himself. After plopping in the sour soft candy, he doesn't seem to notice his new additions at first.

A while later, after people pointed them out to him, he flicks on the communicator. Tugging his hat a bit down, but not too hard.]

Who else tried the candies so far?

[Atsuro doesn't seem to look that different. Until people notice the little 'bumps' on his head, hidden under his hat.]

(ooc: Please assume that Atsuro have his dog ears and tail for the event.)

Lookie lookie, Edward got a trick and a treat!

[The video cuts on to show an older Edward, that is now quite clearly female. There is also the robotic corgi that looks to be done at the edge of the screen in addition to a mountain of what looks like debris and junk.]

Zwo is almost complete~ Edward has to get a few more parts though.

[Not that she needs it from the way that the child woman is bouncing around, but she opens another piece of candy and eats the chocolate before adding the wrapper to a stack and doing a handstand.]

What do you think Zwo, shouild we go out again and get more candy?
