[ little kids are just being dropped into luceti all over the place.

this one is dumped near the grocery store. a little blond boy with flippy hair, a schoolboy's outfit, and large green eyes. he has no idea where he is or even what is going on.

but hey, they gave him this book, something like a journal, and barnaby is a bright little genius kid even as a babby so the first thing he does is plop down in front of the building and give it a read. he's a smart cookie so it isn't long before he's able to surmise exactly what this book can do, what it's capable of, what it's for. it takes a little more fiddling for him to figure out how it functions, but soon enough you'll see this cute little kid in your journals okay. ]

Um, excuse me! I'm sorry to be a bother, but I'm not sure where I am.. has anyone seen my parents? Barnaby and Emily Brooks - it's Christmas Eve, I really ought to get back, before they get upset with me..

[ ooc: OKAY GUYS I AM GOING TO WORK i will reply to tags when i get home!! feel free to find him in front of the grocery or answer his video either is fine, also replies will be from the journal

babybatman OKAY BE BACK LATER. ♥ ]

Oh, that's good! Bein' around the shops, I mean. Don't wander off into the forest, okay? It could be dangerous out there! [oh right] Um, I'm Kotetsu! I didn't know your parents that well, but I worked for Hero TV! I was a hero on there!

A hero? Really.. ?

[ huh, how about that. that's kind of cool~! ]

Yeah, really! I'm a Hero from Sternbild! You've heard of them, right? That means it's my job to make sure you're safe until you can go home or your parents find you first!

Well yeah, I've heard of them, but..

[ okay he's a polite little kid so he's not going to go spouting off about how inept you seem. especially since he, you know, needs help. so anyway. ]

That's pretty neat.

Just 'pretty neat'? It's super neat!

[you're so kawaii WHY COULDN'T HIS KID STAY THIS AGE AAAA]

How about you? Barnaby Jr., right? What do you do?

[ YEAH THAT'S RIGHT HE'S KAWAII

DON'T YOU FORGET IT. ]

Um.. well, I go to school every day, I get really good grades..

Aaaaa, do you now? You must be a really good student! I didn't get very good grades when I was in class; I was always too busy daydreamin' stuff!

Well, I like learning.. and my parents are really smart, so! They teach me a lot of things, and help me with school.

[ you know, all that macaroni and glitter homework. ]

That's great! While we wait around here, you can definitely go to school and stuff! There's some real nice kids around who'd love to make new friends!

[|Db DORKY THUMBS UP]

There's gonna be a real nice lady named Nami who's gonna come get you, okay? So you don't gotta wander around by yourself, and I'll make ya' something good to eat! Have anything in particular you want?

Oh.. Miss Nami, the lady with the red hair?

[ she seemed really nice so this is okay. he's still too young to be really suspicious of strangers sobs.

and now that he thinks of it he is pretty hungry.. ]

Oh, um.. Aunt Samantha makes this really good beef stew stuff, over noodles..

[ beef stroganoff, kotetsan. he doesn't know what it's called though. 8|a ]

Yosh! I don't know exactly what that is, but I can make some noodles! With beef, too!

[this will definitely work out]

But yeah, Nami's the redhead! She's got a real mean kick, but she's a pretty nice lady as long as you don't mess up her plants!

[ god he's going to end up with an upset stomach isn't he. ]

Mean? She seemed pretty nice to me.. but I won't mess up her plants.

...Kotetsu?

Oh--! Uh, hey! You saw this broadcast thing, too, huh?

[He doesn't even realize you thought it was Barnaby's son. His bad.]

Yeah. [She's...not gonna mention she made that mistake. >.>] I told him I'd take him to his dad. You want me to bring him to your apartment, or were you going to come get him?

I was walking out the door right now! Are you close to him? I'd rather someone get to him quick, considering how young they turned him...

I live a little closer. Why don't you cook something for him and I'll bring him to your door?

...how old is he?

I can do that.

[And he'll try to make something that isn't fried rice, for once. Hopefully they've got some cereal or something around here... maybe a TV dinner...?

But then she asks that.]

Uh... well... [He goes quiet for a moment.] His parents passed away when he was pretty young, so... I'd say he's four. Maybe almost five.

[...

That wasn't quite the answer she was expecting to get. Poor kid.]

...right. [Heavily subdued, now. She'll get over it in a few seconds, but--] I'll be there soon. [And she takes off.]

[Right! Meanwhile...

time to attempt to cook noodles.

God help him.]
