Who: everyone and tinies
When: Day 73, morning!!!
Where: 5th floor open area
What: things to do

[some of you might have actually gone to bed at a reasonable time. for those who did and are awake this morning, you'll find a warm fragrant breeze circulating through the third and fourth floors of the building which seems to call your attention gently upwards. if you follow the pull, you'll find blankets and low tables spread across the floor of the fifth level. On and around them, you will find kites of every description imaginable as well as the material to make and decorate your own if you're inclined.

The wind here is steady and warm with enough strength to hold a kite up without pulling it from tiny hands (though if an adult or more adventurous tiny picks up a few of the stunt kites and gliders, they may find the wind will pick up enough to lift them from their feet occasionally).

There are also plates of scones with chocolate, jam, or cheese fillings.

It's almost as if someone is encouraging you to play for a while.]

[Meanwhile, in the shrine room, there is a new kid who looks an awful lot like a younger version of a certain someone, staring at their hands in horror.]

This is wrong...

[boundbyfate]

[p..ing...?]

[empathyforthedevil]

Eh? Ah, a child... Hello. [He's staring, pull it together Robin!]

[boundbyfate]

I am not a child.

Did you just arrive?

[empathyforthedevil]

Oh, really? Yes I did.

[boundbyfate]

[studying that left eye]

. . . Are you aware you have died?

[overclocking]

[SO ABOUT THOSE PINGS.

St...aring at you... just a little...]

[empathyforthedevil]

[Those stitches on her face are splitting, but you... sure aren't an akuma...]

What?

[overclocking]

[... what the hell why!!]

H-hey-- are you alright?

[empathyforthedevil]

[Covering her face :'D I AM FREAKING OUT ABOUT EVERYTHINGGGG]

Fine! That's- 'Normal' isn't the right word, but...

[overclocking]

[Yes that much is... somewhat clear...]

It looks painful... do you need a healer? I can find someone...

[While it's the similarities that actually catch Lenalee's eye at first, it's the way Robin is staring at her hands that holds it. She hesitates, feeling her heart do a funny lurch.]

...Hello?

[empathyforthedevil]

...Lenalee?

[anklets]

[Definitely not Allen. He just... looks similar, right down to a scarred face.

Takes a small, cautious step forward, after some consideration.]

I'm Lenalee, yes.

[empathyforthedevil]

You- No, no, how did this- [Takes a step towards her, breath catching in her throat] You were supposed to... You were supposed to live, Lenalee...

[anklets]

[Thaaat is a concerning reaction, and she'll be moving back a few steps now, going somewhat sallow beneath the pink in her cheeks.]

How do you know me?

[outofthemud]

[Moving to shove her out of the way almost entirely out of reflex, because out the corner of his eye this is as good as a Walker to him.] Move it.

[empathyforthedevil]

AH! [Knocked to the ground, why :(] E-Excuse me?

[outofthemud]

It means get out of the way. [Walking around.]

[empathyforthedevil]

You could've just walked around in the first place...

[killedyuu]

[Peeking at.]

Are you okay?

[empathyforthedevil]

[More children...]

I'm fine, thank you.

[killedyuu]

Ah--what happened to your face? [Reaching to poke. Yep.]

[empathyforthedevil]

[What no, pulls away]

Nothing! It's just a scar, please don't mind it.

[killedyuu]

[Retracting hand.]

Oh, sorry. I'm Alma, what's your name?
