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.)]

I-I like t-to read th-the books he h-has about a-animals though! A-And the o-one about pirates. [Pirate Isle. At least he had one good child's book in there]
no subject
[He's a little surprised Crow didn't specify--he seemed to know what he liked when the two of them were in the library last time. ]
I know some good books about 'em--I can show you.
no subject
However, it sounds like its something that both Firo and even the kid know about, so...is that something important that he should know about too...]
no subject
He looks up to Crow excitedly] H-Have you r-read about them b-before?
no subject
no subject
Treasure Island...Peter Pan..."memory not found"...
[...Which must be Crow's odd way of saying that he has no memory file on those names, indicating that he can't recall having heard of or read those stories before.]
no subject
B-But... wh-what's a movie?
no subject
He glances at them both, smiling. Well, at least this means he can reintroduce them to film; that, at least, should be fun for all of them.]
It's this crazy way of tellin' a story people have--like a play, but it's all recorded!
no subject
[Like...a game? He's not entirely familiar with plays either, Firo.]
no subject
"Recorded"...? [Firo you gotta remember the world they come from]
no subject
[He scratches his head as he tries to think of a way to describe that. He doesn't understand the technology at all. Thankfully, he notices the library just several yards away.]
...Hey, look, there's the library!
no subject
He glances aside at his companion. It sounded like you've been to one of these before, right? What do you think of it?]
