WHO: Geralt, Will Byers (Mentioned), Various WHERE: The woods and related areas. WHEN: Throughout the age plot. WHAT: A catchall for Geralt rounding up the de-aged youngins during the plot with Roach, or with anyone else who wants to come along, and for dropping them off with Eliot. NOTES OR WARNINGS: Possibly for trauma mentions since most of these kids are VERY SCREWED UP. But otherwise likely none.
Geralt had left early in the morning to retrieve Roach and take her out. It was still strange to have no where in particular to need to go. They had a place to stay and food to eat, so there was no pressing need to earn, and he didn't need to travel from place to place. So it was a bit aimless, taking her out for the sake of keeping them both exercised and occupied rather than any express purpose. They'd taken down a few aggressive beasts they encountered, but nothing more.
Today though, it wasn't anything even vaguely dangerous he found, but a child. Geralt though he'd seen the boy once in passing, and talking on the machines, but he didn't know him. He smelled of decay, sickness, and fear though, and he was younger than Geralt had thought he was. He also seemed to have no idea what was happening and barely spoke.
He convinced the boy to go with him and started heading back in, bemused when he caught scent of another young child. Whatever reason there was for them wandering around in the woods, he doubted it was a good idea. He fished the device out of Roach's saddlebag and turned it back on (the noises got irritating, otherwise) and sent a message before going to ferret out the next one. It would be the next of several.
[If you want to go hunt littles with Geralt, feel free to make a subthread. If you want to be found, feel free to make one, if you want to side eye him suspiciously because he is Pied Pipering kids, also feel free. If you have a better idea, also subthread away.]
