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

[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 [livejournal.com profile] imasapling, and chronologically the last action thread will be Kaori. BUT HAVE AT IT, EVERYWHERE.]

[he smiles back because this lady seems really nice] Mithos. [but he shyly wrings his hands in front of him.]

Luceti? Is that this town's name?
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-19 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, another Mithos! There sure are a lot of people with the same name in this place.... :)a]

Yes, that's right. It's a nice place. I'm sure you're going to like it here very much.

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, he will make it a very popular name for boys one day...]

Oh, but I can't stay here! My sister and I have to go home. [but so far the people here are a lot nicer than there, so... 8|a]
lostinmyway: (And still the sun shines.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-20 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm.... What's your sister's name?
lostinmyway: (It's always a sunny day.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-20 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a pretty name!

[...And actually unfortunately familiar.] What does she look like?

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
She's tall [he holds his hand waaay above his head to demonstrate] and her hair's green and she has lots of it, and her eyes are green too. She's really pretty, and she smiles a lot!
lostinmyway: (Well....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-22 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Grune thinks about this for a bit. Maybe Martel came back. After all, Walter did.]

Why don't we go look for her? I'm sure she must be here somewhere.

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! That's what I've been doing, but there's a lot of places to look. [He shivers. Grune, you may have noticed that he doesn't have a proper coat on. 8|a]
lostinmyway: (?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-22 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grune is bad about noticing things like that, but even she can't miss that shiver.]

Oh, my, you look cold.

[And so she kneels down in the snow and begins unbuttoning her own coat.]

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well...yeah, it's really cold out here. 8( He just nods and shivers some more.

--Oh, wow, is she giving him her coat? Staaaare at her.]
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She does! She pulls off her coat and then carefully places around his shoulders.

Once she's finished, she smiles.]
There. That's better.

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He sticks his arms through the sleeves...or into them, really, because they're too short to make it all the way through. The coat is too big on him, but it's nice and warm and he holds its close around his body.]

Thank you...
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-23 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome!

[She starts buttoning it up for him.]

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Where are we gonna look next? [because you know this place better than he does]
lostinmyway: (It's always a sunny day.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-23 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[All done!

She stands up.]
Let's go look by the special garden.

[There's not exactly a lot to do there for a gardener right now, but it's worth a try.]

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yay, now he can be warm!]

That's a good idea, 'cause my sister likes gardens a lot!
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Gardening is so much fun, isn't it?

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I like it with my sister! I help her put plants in the dirt, and I like playing with the rocks we find! [.........] Sometimes we find worms too, and those are fun to play with but you're not supposed to touch 'em 'cause they don't like it.

[Where is this garden place? Are they gonna start walking? 8Ua]
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-24 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's important to let the worms do their work looking after the soil.

[He's probably going to have to take the initiative, here, because otherwise she'll forget what they're doing. orz]

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh! [He shifts from foot to foot in the snow, wanting to go but not knowing what way to start walking.]

...Um...what way do we go?
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-26 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Go where?

[Er.]

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[.....huh?]

The garden...like you said....
lostinmyway: (So much fun!)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-12-27 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a good idea. Let's go! [Fistpump!] Charge!

[identity profile] imasapling.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, um...ch-charge!

[he pumps his little fist in the air too, the too-big coat sleeve flopping around. ...but which waaaay?]
