Seventeenth Firefly - [Action] - backdated to the 5th

[When little Seto first wakes up, he finds himself staring off into the white covered distance, his purple eyes barely open, nose and cheeks red and small hands reflexively curled up into fists to keep his already stinging finger tips off the snow. He lets out a long exhale, his breath clouding out in front of him before disappearing into the cold air. There's a long minute of silence as he slowly wakes up, watching his breath blearily, before he finally blinks and moves to at least lift his head off the snowy ground, his entire body aching from the cold.

…Outside. Why is he outside? And in the snow?!

Seto can feel his heart beat rapidly as he quickly makes his way to his feet, dusting the snow off his legs and arms as fast as he can before grabbing his arms. There’s only one winter that he can remember in the short time he spent with his grandpa and it wasn't kind.

What plants his grandfather normally fed them died, leaving them with barely anything, it was always freezing cold and drafts would find their way into the observatory through cracks in the walls and doors and he nor his grandfather never had much in terms of ways to keep themselves warm with clothes. When winter came, his grandfather told him to never go outside or bad things would happen, especially in the snow that fell and covered everything.

He didn't understand it... how something like this could be so scary.

As he moves to step back, looking around in a panic to find the observatory, his heel hits something behind him and he trips and falls backwards over whatever it was with a yelp. He quickly tries to scuttle away but looks back to see what it was he tripped on and…

…A person. Another person.

There's a moment as he stares in surprise. But... he thought there were no other people. His grandfather told him so--didn't he? It's always just been him and his grandfather. He’s afraid that if he touches this person, he’ll disappear… but if he tripped over him, he must be real, right? He's hesitant but slowly turns around in the snow and he puts his hands on the other boy’s chest and starts to shake him.]


M-Mm… w-wake up… [His voice is small and shaking as he shivers, but he’s trying]

ACTION

[Today, the people of Luceti may come across a rather curious duo. Normally, seeing Crow and Seto together is not strange at all--in fact, it's practically the norm, but after a week or so of being gone, when they return, they are noticeably different.

Seto has clearly been affected by his "mallynap", as he's now a little boy instead of a young adult. Unlike the Seto we all know and love, this Seto has yet to experience large crowds of people, or even seeing so many people in general, so there's a lot of wide-eyed staring as he looks around as well as looking back to make sure he's not too far away from his odd companion.

Crow, on the other hand, appears almost exactly the same as before he was taken in for experimentation too...except for some odd differences. His bright green eyes are now a dull, lifeless grey, and he's quieter than usual, barely saying a word, and when he does, there's very little emotion put into it. For now, he's sort of aimlessly following along behind Seto, or occasionally stopping to stare at people or things.

Well, hopefully this will wear off soon, but otherwise they're both lost and confused at the moment. Would you like to offer a helping hand?

(ooc: Seto and Crow have been de-aged as their mallynap effect upon their return. Both of them will be replying per thread, unless specified otherwise.)]

Two hours, fifty-seven minutes, and twenty-five seconds. [A pause.] ...I think.

[He's not sure if his internal clock is very accurate right now, most of his attempts to check cause it to act a little buggy at the moment.]
tomodachi: (are you pondering what I'm pondering)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-02-22 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Seto. [...He doesn't have any memory of that name, so why is this boy here.

But it looks like it's his turn to answer the question.]


I am...H-0-0-5-3-3-4-8. [...That's not a very easy name to remember, is it, just a letter and a bunch of numbers following after it. But it's written on his body, so that means it has to be his name, right?]
soheartless: (normal)

[personal profile] soheartless 2014-02-23 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He glances idly between the two of them, showing no protest towards Crow's silence.]

I was dancing.
tomodachi: (are you pondering what I'm pondering)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-02-25 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Dancing?"

[Crow's never seen dancing before--at least, no living person doing so. If he did see anything like that, it was probably depicted in a book instead. He can't help but be a little curious, even if his flat tone makes it hard to tell otherwise.]

[THAT IS A MOUTH FULL CROW. Seto blinks and tries to repeat it though]

H-H...zero zero... t-three... [Nope he doesn't got this] I-Is that really y-your name? W-Why are th-there numbers? [Is it... normal for people to have numbers in their names?]
tomodachi: (this is boring and you are boring too)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-04 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's my model identification number. [To identify him from all the other robots that came before when he had been built, perhaps. But he doesn't remember any of the others personally.

And that still doesn't solve the question of whether that's really his name or not.]

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
W-What's that? [It's flying right over his head, Crow, sorry. He rubs his arms a little and lets out a shaky breath]
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 05)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-08 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seto just looks up at Crow as he answers then looks back at Firo from behind his companion and nods] I-It's been a long time... [Not that Seto quite knows what hours and minutes are but at least it's felt like a really long day so far]
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 05)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-08 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[While Seto on the other hand, has never seen or heard of dancing before. He still hasn't gone through many of the books he is capable of reading out of his grandfather's collection, so even if he did have something that mentioned dancing (which isn't likely), Seto hasn't gotten to it yet.]

I-I've never he-heard of that before... W-What is it?
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 06)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-08 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seto can agree with you readily on that, young lady.] I-I don't want to get sick... [It's dangerous to get sick in a world where there's no medicine or much to help you, he knows this all to well. Or at least his old man's made a point of it to him before. So he takes the jacket with his small hands and tries to put it on. It's obviously a little big for him (especially being so skinny and frail in the first place) but even as it hangs on him, he beams at her and bows a little]

T-Thank you very m-much. [Then he looks to Crow]

A number used to identify me separately from other models that are similar to me.

[But that is still probably not any clearer. Instead he seems to notice that Seto seems uncomfortable and stares a little. Is he okay?]

[Irrationally, Firo feels a pang of guilt for not finding them sooner.]

...Sorry.

[He hesitates as he tries to think of a way to get them home without scaring them away. He'd be wary if someone came out of the blue claiming to know him.]

What're you guys up to now?
tomodachi: (this is boring and you are boring too)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-09 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
... [He'll let you answer this one, Seto, 'cause honestly, Crow doesn't know how to answer that question. They managed to find a town, but then what? He's mostly been just looking around at things, not sure of what he should do next, other than perhaps keep close to the boy for now.]
soheartless: (what doesn't he understand this time)

[personal profile] soheartless 2014-03-09 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Mytho tilts his head uncertainly.]

I don't think that I've ever hard to explain the concept of dancing before...

It is... a way to express one's innermost feelings. Through... movements of the body.
tomodachi: (this is boring and you are boring too)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-09 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... [So...by moving one's body, you could express your feelings? He's never heard of something like that before, but...it doesn't sound too strange to him, being someone who has trouble expressing emotions the way he is now and all.]

[Her gaze snapped over to Crow when he spoke up. It wasn't so much the "how" that bothered her, but the "why" was another story. Even so... With Seto standing right there she felt the need to put on a smile.

That bow was pretty adorable, though.]


You're welcome. Now let's all go inside and warm up properly, okay?
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 05)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-13 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope, not any clearer. It's still flying right over his head for the most part. And though he doesn't entirely understand what he means-]

D-Does that mean... I h-have a number t-too? [Granted Seto does have a barcode on the back of his neck but he doesn't know that]
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 07)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-14 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[You sound like such a creeper Firo, gosh, trying to lure two kids into your house!!!

But he smiles a little now]
W-We've been w-walking around and looking a-at all of t-the people and really a-amazing things!! [Meaning everything. He pauses then adds] W-We're looking for G-Grampa too. [Almost forgot to add that in his excitement]
tomodachi: (this is boring and you are boring too)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-14 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually makes Crow pause for a second. It may even seem like his brow is furrowed, just a little.]

...I don't know.

[Should he...try to check to see if there is one on him somewhere?]
foundafamily: (3.2)

[personal profile] foundafamily 2014-03-14 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, considering what Seto told him about their world, Firo'd imagine a lot of this stuff does seem amazing.

His face falls when Seto continues.
]

Grampa?

[Ah, crap. He feels like it'd make the most sense to be straight with them and tell them the odds of meeting grampa are very low... But he just can't bring himself to. He's getting soft, isn't he? What he calls honesty, he's realizing, can be pretty harsh.]

...Do you mind if I join you guys? Another pair of eyes will help spot him, right?
tomodachi: (this is boring and you are boring too)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-14 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh? She wants them to go inside? Rather than speaking, he kind of looks around them a little in response--he clearly doesn't seem to recognize where exactly he is right now. There's a lot of buildings here, is there one that they're supposed to specifically go inside of right now?]
tomodachi: (a robot and his best friend)

[personal profile] tomodachi 2014-03-14 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, the probability of having more success with searching would go up if another person was around to help, but he doesn't reply. He doesn't sense anything suspicious about this person, but he does glance between Firo and the boy with him.

...He's probably gonna end up coming along if Seto decides to follow the guy regardless.]

[He frowns a little and breathes into his hands a little] H-How would I k-know if I had o-one?
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 07)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-21 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't mind! [His answer is pretty much immediate. Little is Seto aware of the dangers of talking and inviting strangers to tag along with him. All things considered though, Shin never really had a reason to give Seto those warnings.

Besides, he's still more than excited about suddenly people that all possible dangers aren't coming to mind. All he wants is them around him, close to him, remind him that he isn't alone anymore. He's even walking out in the cold without a jacket or being scared!! So it's a pretty good thing you're around to look out for him, Crow.

Who he also looks up to with a smile]
Is it okay with you if he comes with us?
solesoul: (Baby Seto | 04)

[personal profile] solesoul 2014-03-21 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Seto is right there with you Crow, he's never heard of anything like that before. Which is no surprise. But still, he beams]

That's really amazing! I didn't know people could do things like that... Could you teach us how? [You're not getting out of learning this with him Crow]
