[slaps]

[See Sheena. See Sheena being frantic in the middle of the night, because--

Oh man, she lost Lloyd.]

Has...has anybody seen a little boy? Or. Lloyd, if you know him. But he's not Lloyd right now--well he is, but--

[No, calm down Sheena. She takes a deep breath, and lets it out again.]

Younger Lloyd. He...randomly got younger. I don't know how, but. I took him home, and now...he's gone. I can't find him anywhere.

[Maaan.]

If anybody's seen him, can you tell me? I just need to know if he's safe.

[Can't help but laugh a little.]

Lost him, huh?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

It's not funny, Zelos!

[redcladidealist]

[At first the camera's view is nothing but rumpled blankets, but then it shifts, and there's Lloyd's sleepy face, and behind him the form of someone bigger.]

Sheena...

[He yawns, not all with it yet.]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...Oh. Oh thank goodness-]

Lloyd! Where are you?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd yawns again, then puts a finger to his lips, even as he curls up against the other person's side.]

Shhh... Don't wake up Mr. Kratos.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Krat--

[Blinkblink, what?]

You're with Kratos?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah... [Sleepy smile.] He's daddy's friend.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Your daddy has a lot of friends, huh?

[redcladidealist]

Lots an' lots... [His eyes are drooping closed. It's too early for little boys to be up. The person next to him shifts, allowing Lloyd a more comfortable position. Lloyd responds with a sleepy murmur.] Mmm... Daddy's the best...

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...]

...Alright. Well...go back to sleep, okay?

[redcladidealist]

M'kay... [He doesn't need much encouragement to close his eyes the rest of the way. Another yawn escapes - then stillness, his only movement the steady rise and fall of his chest. After a moment, the Dreamberry slips from his hand.

Then another hand turns it off.]

... Randomly got younger? Is this something that happens more frequently here?

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I...don't think so. I've never heard of it happening before.

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

Then it's just a random occurence in general. Perhaps this place just enjoys screwing around.

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But I want to know how it happened, and how long it'll last!

[Sorry, she's on edge.]

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

Given the frequency we're normally given explanations for the things happening here [ read: hardly ever ] I doubt anyone could just tell you that.

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I guess. It would still be nice to know.

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

If it does wear off after a while, you'll be able to see for yourself.

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I guess so...but still, it'd be nice to know these things.

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

The problem is the lack of information. If this teaches you anything, we can all know it to avoid future instances of it or have better ways of dealing with them.

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[Hmph.]

Maybe. Still doesn't help that Lloyd has to go through it though.

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

We can't reverse what happened in the past.

[ Well, Homura can but it doesn't work in this place either way so.. ]

We just have to work forwards to the future.

[ audio ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

...That's more true than you know.

[...Sigh.]

Lloyd is missing-!?

[ Oh no, oh no! ]

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

...He was. Apparently he's with Kratos.

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a relief. I was starting to get really worried!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I was too. He was with me one minute, gone the next.

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Isn't that was little boys do, though?

But I'm glad you're taking care of him, Sheena. That's very sweet of you!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't know.

[...uh--]

U-Uh, it's nothing! I mean...h-he had nowhere else to go or anything.

[blushing...a little.]

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, well then I guess this is pretty new to you!

[ Smiiile. ] But you decided to take care of him, and that's what counts!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it kind of is.

[...f-fff.]

I couldn't just leave him by himself!

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

I think you're doing a great job so far, then!

[ Besides, y'know... losing him and stuff. ]

I know. But anyone could of watched over him, but you decided to do it!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Oh...thank you.

[don't bring that up. :'(]

I guess you're right. [In a way.]

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Hehe, of course!

[ She won't, she won't! ]

But that's what's so great about you. Taking up responsibility like that. I'm sure Lloyd is grateful, too!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...FGFLHKSF.]

There's nothing great like that about me at all!

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ WHAT IS THIS? A case of the poor-me's! It's time for a certain picker-upper to step in! ]

Of course there is! You're very strong, an amazing fighter, and are very friendly, too! To take care of your friends, and I know everyone else things you're great, too!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[F-FFFF...]

You don't have to...ah...

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Hehe, but it's all true!

Thank you, Sheena. For being my friend, and Lloyd's too!

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

It's...it's no problem at all, Colette.

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ A heartfelt giggle. ]

I wonder though, just how he got to small? Does it have to do with the dreams?

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I don't know that it has to do with dreams. Maybe just something this place did to him.

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Can a world really do something like that?

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It's the only thing I can think of, though.

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

I guess it does make sense, though! Hehe, has something strange like that happened to you before, Sheena?

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Heh, not really. Not yet, anyway.

[Which is a good thing.]

video;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

That's a good thing-- n-not like it's a bad thing Lloyd is tiny!

It's... cute.

video;

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

...It is kind of cute, isn't it?

[dungeongeek.livejournal.com]

If I see a little kid running around, I'll let you know.

I talked to him once before...he seems pretty, uh...

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think I found him, but with the way he got away from me...he may do it again.

[She pauses, smirking.] Lloyd's a different kind of person from most you'd meet.
