[58.0 Audio] Aged Down Event

[brynkitten]

[Bryn's comm clicks on. It's not on purpose, but someone rolled onto it and then bumped into another body.

That was concerning, considering that Bryn had been aged down to seven years old, not just in body but in mind. Her eyes opened and found a boy laying on the bed across from her. Bryn's reaction was immediate.

With an ear-piercing shriek, she scrambles upright and starts throwing pillows at the intruder. A boy's holler, King aged eight, follows the thud of pillows hitting his head.]

Who are you?

Who are you?

I asked first!

Why are you on my--where am I?

[Bryn goes quiet, though her silence doesn't last long. Lower lip trembling, she sniffles and starts crying as King looks around and notices the strange room.]

You kidnapped me didn't you!

N-no! [Her crying grows significantly more audible.] I want my brother...

[There's a pause.]

Well, okay we'll...we'll go find him. And my sisters too.

[Another loud sniffle.] We will?

Yeah sure, just stop crying, jeez.

[The audio cuts out.]

Comments

I don't think I can do that. Father and Mother would never agree. They're...really happy they have a son.

[Bryn isn't at all insecure about this. Honest.]

Are you from England?

[Color her awed. Being from America is so lame.]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Aww, too bad.

[King seems really dissapoint!]

I used to live in England. My parents say I'm too young to remember though.

[brynkitten]

Where do you live now?

[Bryn isn't completely disappointed that her parents won't trade Gunn for another girl. After all, Gunn is her real brother.]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Seattle. In Washington. It's really cold but I like it.

[brynkitten]

That sounds really nice. I live in Florida but it's really hot.

[She pauses.]

Mother and Father won't take me to Disney World either.

[Clearly this is a CRIME]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

[You get the mostest shockedfais from King ever.]

Why not? It's Disney freakin' World. I wanna go!

[brynkitten]

[Bryn raises her voice with King's.]

I know!

[Then she stops and lowers her voice again. Inside voices should be used inside, not outside voices.]

I really want to go too but they say that my schedule is too busy for something like that.

[Yes, she has a schedule. It's completely booked.]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

[Ffff screw that, outside voices forever.]

If my family ever goes, I'll totally make them take you. Even if you're 'busy'. We'll steal you.

[brynkitten]

[Bryn's eyes widen and immediately shakes her head.]

Oh no, no, you couldn't. Mother and Father would be so upset and they...they'd call the police and get your family in trouble if you stole me.

[Bryn doesn't want her new friend in trouble!]
