I…

I don't understand. I read the crimes, but I haven't done anything like that! I wouldn't! There must be some kind of mistake. Please, I need to talk to someone immediately. [She tries to keep her voice steady, but you can almost hear the effort as it trembles just a bit.]

Sister? Can you hear me?

Suzaku?

Zero?

Anyone?

Maybe next they'll be becoming 'giants' as well.

Maybe there's no limit to what you can become.

... That guy'd like such a thing too much. Probably.

[Doooon't mind her, she is confused after sort of listening to everyone throughout the morning and... she's sulky and wants to go home. Logical brain cannot comprehend how things work around these parts quite yet and Machi doesn't like. 8(]

[Like a little ninja... or pirate... or cat, it depends what kind of game it is, but the sneaking motion is pretty much always the same... Sora makes his way from his bed over to Riku's, peeking up over the edge. Then he back up a little, and takes a running jump, landing on him]

RIKU WAKE UP!

[Hee hee, surprise!]

[Sora adjusts his communicator while he sits there on his best friend]

Good morning, everyone! What's up with this, huh? Is everyone half their usual age-ish, or is it a Wonderland effect? Or a Neverland effect? Something like that.

Of all days to be turned into a child.

[A loud gunshot can be heard. Anyone in the vicinity will see something that looks like a firework that strangely...matches the design on his neck. The weapon was obviously fired by the ten year old kid holding the gun nearby.]

I can barely reach the trigger.

[ooc: Yay! Zero finally has his baby back... He really missed Bloody Rose. And I'm sure Bloody Rose missed him too.]

[Shortly after the morning announcement...]

....huh?

Why is everything bigger than usual? [A bittyAki is wandering around the shelter, looking very confused]

This is weird...

[Akane is still trying to get acquainted with this... 'communicator' device. She's standing outside of a bathroom, having just cleaned it, with a bucket and water pail (Yes -- Fresh cold water -- come and get it, Ranma XD) ready for her next bathroom. Wiping her brow, she sets down the bucket and jiggles the chain around her leg a bit. It's probably obvious to anyone who sees her that she is concerned.]

U-Um... I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove this ball and chain thing that's attached to my leg. I've seen a few people around here without it. What exactly does it mean?

[Honestly -- it's only good for beating Ranma over the head with. :|]

[Vash is in the kitchen, attempting to make pancakes. Like most young teens, this is making more of a mess than any thing else. He's wearing the black skinny jeans and the tight red tee shirt he got at the clothing store. His coat was too big to be comfortable and Vash was feeling just a little vain about his young body.]

[After several bowls of batter and a trash can full of ruined pancakes, he finally gets a platter full of the things that are neither burned or raw. That's also the point when Vash realized he made way too many even for his new tremendous appetite. Mindlessly leaving the mess for the bots to clean up, he calls out to the network.]

Hey guys, if anyone wants some hot pancakes they're ready now in the kitchen! Come on and eat up, kids!

...I...

Being an overall threat to humanity, huh? I can't deny the truth that that crime bears. You've made a wise choice in locking me up, but I'm sad to inform you that I'm as good as dead "from where I came from". You should have just allowed me to rot there with him. That was all I would've wanted...

I'm perfectly fine with being imprisoned, but please don't condemn those children. Don't ruin their bright futures. I brought them into that mess, and I'm willing to shoulder all of their faults.

The iron ball's rather flattering. I deserve something worse, but expecting something from artificial intelligence would be meaningless. Where did my powers go?

I have to hand it to you, though; this place sounds a little too good for an asylum...

[ooc: You saw no fail. 8| Here, repost. ffffffff 8'DDDD]

[Maya turns on her headset's camera and it moves it around roughly, until it shows her younger-than-normal face. She smiles and then speaks in her higher-than-normal voice.]

Hi everyone! There's something great I want to show you!

[The camera turns around until it shows a a messy, unmade bed with purple sheets, and above it, a new poster hangs. There's even a signature on the poster, though it's kind of messy and hard to read.]

Ta da! Isn't it great!? Senti specially delivered it to me this morning!

[The camera shifts back to young Maya.]

So has anyone seen The Steel Samurai? The movie version is showing today at the movie theater! We should all go watch it today at the movie theater! I think I've talked to Hikaru, Cheri, Apollo, Spike, Kaguya, Tetris-man, Yuuki, and Yuuri so far... [Though she didn't quite mention today's showing to any of them before now...and never asked some of them to begin with.] Who else wants to come see it today?

[She doesn't like it as much as the show, but maybe she can get someone interested in it. It's easier to get someone to watch a two-hour feature than a marathon of an entire series' worth of episodes. That could come later.]

Don't miss out on the excitement and drama!

[The camera shuts off, and then after a moment, turns back on when she remembers something else she wants to say. In sharp contrast with her earlier cheerfulness, the postscript is in a worried tone:]Oh, and if anyone's seen Ema, please let me know me know.
