fourteen [action/written/voice] | FORWARD-DATED TO SATURDAY THE 17TH

[imatreenow]

[On Saturday morning, as the blizzard dissipates to a gentler snowfall, a seven-year-old boy wakes up in the village. He might look a little familiar if you squint... Mithos didn't wake up in his bed in his nice warm house with his sister in the next bed over smiling and saying good morning like always. Instead, he woke up on the cold and not very nice ground outside, and his sister was nowhere to be seen. This was a first in his short life. He was very scared, but he didn't cry. Except maybe a little, because it was a really scary thing to have happen. But he reasoned that he's here, so his sister must be here too because they're never very far apart.

The buildings around him don't look the same as the ones in his town, and he wonders where he is and how he got here. His sister must be looking for him right now, and he will wait for her because he is a good brother. He sees a funny little book with his name on it, sitting in the snow nearby, and he picks it up. It must be his if his name is on the front. It is very cold outside. Snow is falling down. He shivers and hugs himself and wishes he had his sister. And a coat. His back feels funny too, but backs are hard to reach. He decides to crouch in the doorway of one of the buildings to hide from the wind and snow, but he doesn't go inside because he does not know who lives there and he does not want to get in trouble for being somewhere he isn't supposed to be.

He opens the weird book and sees a lot of blank space to write in. There's even a pencil to write with. He'll do that while he waits for his sister. She will be here soon, and then he can stop being cold and scared. In careful, childish letters, he starts:]

[WRITTEN]

A Story by Mithos Yggdrasill [...there. That sounds pretty legit. 8|a What next...?]

Once thare was a boy. He had a big sister who was reely nice and they had a lots of fun together. He was reely nice to, so everyone wanted to be frends with him.

One day the boy and his sister had to go into the scary woods. Thare was a big monster in the woods and it was reely mean and bad and everybody else was scared of it but it had to be stopped because it kept eating all the food. The boy wasn't scared of it. He was reely brave and he knew he was safe with his big sister. [...and so on. Any literary critics want to jump in on this riveting tale?]

[MORE ACTION]

[Thoughout the day, he can be found here and there in the village. Nobody can seem to keep an eye on him for more than 15 minutes at a time... Because he's still waiting for his sister and she still hasn't found him and he's really worried and scared. So maybe he should find her instead. The steadily falling snow will not be enough to deter this tiny juggernaut of brotherly affection as he pokes around the unfamiliar village.

In the evening, after Kaori has shown him how, he will make a super important public address.]

[VOICE]

Um...hello everyone... [ohmygod he is so nervous, because he's never talked to so many people at one time before. but he keeps going. fidget fidget.] Has anybody seen my sister? I don't know where she is, a-and I haven't even seen her all day long. Her name is Martel... She's really tall and nice and she has lots of green hair.

[Um, what else? ...Oh!] She likes smiling, so she'll probably be smiling if you see her.

Please help me if you can, because I really wanna find her... [sdjfgsdf shutting the weird book now! >////< The lengths he goes to for his big sister...]

[OOC NOTE: Because I'm about as original as Luke fon Fabre. (rimshot!) Mithos here was mallynapped about a week ago, but I didn't feel like taking up more space in your flist than necessary. Tags will be happening with imasapling, and chronologically the last action thread will be Kaori. BUT HAVE AT IT, EVERYWHERE.]

Comments

[Voice] - Could. Not. Resist.

[consultmybooks]

[Oh, hello, little crazy blond psycho.

...you sound different. And he hasn't seen you in a while. So that means it's probably an experiment or something he can't actually blame you for, damn it.]

I'll, um, I'll...keep an eye out for her.

[Sigh.]

[Voice] ahahaha 8D

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh, someone replied. Why is everyone here a grown-up?]

Really? You will?

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

Really. The weather is settling down, we should be able to make it outside now.

When did you last see her?

Keywords~ Also WHOOPS forward-dating.

[lostinmyway]

[Hey there, bitty Mithos. There's a really tall and nice lady with lots of green hair admiring the lights around town again. She hasn't noticed you yet, but maybe you've noticed her....]

8D!!!

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[He sees green out of the corner of his eye as he shuffles through the snow. He stops, and turns his head really fast because green is his sister's color and maybe that's-- :D

Oh. 8( It's someone else... He stands there and wonders what he should do. She isn't his sister, but maybe she can help him. Shyly, he comes closer.]

Um... [Quiet, and she might miss it completely.]

[lostinmyway]

[She doesn't notice him inching closer, but with all the snow around, it's really quiet, and so she does hear that tentative "Um."

She glances down, spots the bitty, and gives him a warm smile.]

Hello! Isn't it so pretty out today?

voice;

[ex_affability656]

You're missing your sister? [Whoa, kiddo, that is a matter of utmost importance right there. You sound pretty young, and such young people shouldn't be all alone.] Where did you last see her?

voice;

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[nod nod. the saddest nod nod.] At my house...

voice;

[ex_affability656]

And she's not there anymore? Hm. [Don't even worry, man. Hughes is on the case.]

Are there any places she likes to go?

[action] :'D

[amurui.livejournal.com]

[Hello, bitty. You have been spotted by a somewhat tall teenager, who only seemed to watch for a second before calmly starting to walk over. He can tell you are cold and not very happy just by that glance and he is going to remedy this.]

[action] 8')

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[He is trudging along, hugging himself and rubbing his hands up and down his arms. Why is it so cold? 8( When he sees someone walking toward him, he pauses and stares in curiosity.]

[action] okay so I wanted to make sure bitty didn't spook before there was cute-ness

[amurui.livejournal.com]

[Well, at least he's not running because Senri is definitely not stopping until he's right in front of him. He's on a scarf giving mission.]

[Voice]

[elixirsoup.livejournal.com]

[A...Awww. As an older sibling, he can't help but try to help the kid out.]

She's got green hair and smiles a lot? All right! I'll help you look for her, so don't you worry, okay?

[Big brother complex GOOOOO]

[Voice]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

O-Okay! Thank you!

[....]

Um...it's really dark outside right now, so you probably can't see much.

[Voice]

[elixirsoup.livejournal.com]

It's okay! I'm a hero, I go to a lot of dark places. I'll just take a light with me!

[He doesn't think much about consequences to his own well-being sometimes...]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... Mithos? Is that you?

[Voice]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[.......huh?]

How do you know my name?

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

[... oh. This is... well, it has the potential to be either a very good or a very bad thing depending on how it plays out, so Regal is going to tread cautiously. But if he's looking for Martel, that means that hasn't happened yet...]

Are you all by yourself right now?

[Voice] icon fail and no edit

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

No...

[ACTION BBY]

[seiriald]

[Kaori had decided to go check on the flowers in the flower shop the minute the snow had let up enough, often checking by opening the door to see whether or not there would be a stinging barrage of snowflakes into her poor face. It was amazing that she had not yet caught a cold.

It just so happens that during one of these checks, she finds herself inexplicably tensing. Even if she couldn't see, she could tell that there was someone nearby, just standing in the doorway. To keep up the farce that she can see she turns her head this way and that, brow furrowing as she tried to pinpoint why... this presence seemed vaguely familiar.]

[ADORABLE ACTION BBY]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[After wandering around for a really long time (it must have been all day, except it's still mostly light outside), his legs hurt and he's frozen stiff so he comes to crouch in another doorway for warmth. Plenty of people helped him get warmer clothes, but he's been outside so long he can barely feel anything anymore. And he still hasn't seen or heard anything from his sister. He's starting to get really scared. Where could she be?

He tries not to cry, but he can't help it. Tears start rolling down his cheeks. His nose is already runny from the cold. He doesn't even notice when the door opens behind him.]

[action] 8')

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[He's plodding along through the snow, eyes constantly searching out his sister. She has to be around here somewhere and he isn't going to stop until he finds her. His legs are really starting to hurt though, and his can't feel his fingers anymore.

He spots the man and the...oh, is that a protozoan? Cool! There's a lot of mana coming from them. He was beginning to think that it was really weird that he couldn't feel any mana here, and here it all is. Staring now.]

[And so, Jeb was thrown into older brother mode. He remembers when Faye was like this.]

That's a very sweet story! I'm glad you're so close to your sister. I bet that makes her really happy!

[written]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[He looks back at the funny book later in the day, once he's safe and warm inside. Oh, the it's...writing back? That's weird, but kinda cool too. Carefully, he writes out a reply.]

How did you no know it was about me?
