[action: Downtown]

[There's a tiny blue-haired boy, asking the drones about something. But going by his sullen look, he's not having much luck. So now he's approached you to ask:]

E-excuse me? How do I get home?


 [action: Park]

[There is now a tiny blue-haired boy, attempting to play with one of the dogs in the Mayfield streets. What do?]


[action: Bakery]

[Now Minato's hungry, but as he has no useful money (no one takes yen 8( ), he's resorted to window-shopping all the tasty-looking baked goods.]

bakery!!

[anklegandr]

What are you doing?

[ This little girl just got dumped by her drone!father, so she's taken to doing the next best thing: be useful to someone else. ]

[prefool]

Oh...just looking.

[He wasn't eyeing the cookies or cake or anything.]

[anklegandr]

Really? It looked like you were really hungry, so I thought I would ask.

Bakery

[elevatoravatar]

[Liz stops and looks at the boy, tilting her head slightly with a perplexed look]

[prefool]

[Still looking at those treats. You may have to get his attention. This kid spaces out a lot.]

[elevatoravatar]

Have you too been lost in the past? Hrm..

[She sighs a bit and walks up to the boy]

Park

[knowsabout]

It might be dangerous to play with the dogs here you know. They could end up not being friendly.

[prefool]

[Oh, hi there.]

This one hasn't bitten me.

[knowsabout]

It's friendly and is used to being around people then.

I don't think I've seen you around before are you new or is something going around today? Because there seems to be a lot more kids roaming the area....

Downtown!

[sara_mudou]

I don't know! If you tell me where you live, though, I can try to help you find it!

[Sara doesn't necessarily suspect much. It's not like people never get lost in Mayfield, with all the houses being so identical. There is a niggling sense of something being off, however, for the time being she dismisses it.]

[prefool]

Japan. Port Island.

[Please tell him you've at least heard one of those.]

[sara_mudou]

[She's heard of the first one, at least! But there's only one problem...]

I'm from Japan too! I don't think we can get there from here, though.

[In fact, she knows they can't. But she doesn't want to have to explain that to a little kid.]

downtown

[bridezilla]

[ Even though she has met and seen Minato before, she doesn't recognize the younger version of him. She just looks at him completely baffled. ]

Well, that depends on where you live. [ The obvious: Nena points it out. The oblivious: What Nena is. ]

[prefool]

Port Island in Japan. I need a plane ticket, please.

[How he got here when he doesn't remember even leaving the house baffles him. But he knows planes can get you anywhere.]

[bridezilla]

A plane ticket?! To Japan?! Don't you know that you're trapped here?!

[ Nena's voice is definitely judgmental and skeptical. Why does this person not know that they're in Mayfield yet! Haven't they used a telephone to ask for help like everyone else?! ]

[Park]

[firstofthefallen]

[Hey bb!Minato what's up? There's another child coming over to you. One that your teen self would recognize.

But what would seem off to Minato is Louis' demeanor. The usual sense of detachment Louis tends to demonstrate seems to be gone, replaced with a sense of wonder and confusion. Perhaps still not a childish sense of wonder, but one none the less. See, The Light Bringer is kind of confused as to why he's trapped in a human body, and why he can't change into his usual form, and why so many of his powers are gone, and confused as to what this world is, and just basically curious as to what the fuck the deal is.

Still, he can't help but smile at the little child playing with the animals. Man interacting and in accord with nature, above the wilder animals but still showing affection. Just as it should be. And perhaps the boy knows more about the place he has been pulled to.]

Hello, Child of Man. Can you tell me what this place is?

[prefool]

[That formal speech throws him off. The dog near them barks happily, like a typical drone dog should, at their new visitor.]

Huh?

This place is called Mayfield.

Park

[lightningclips]

[Yeah, that's probably not a smart idea]

Um, hey! Do you know that dog? Because you're not supposed to play with dogs you've never seen before.

[prefool]

It's okay! He's not bad.

[And to demonstrate, he pets the dog's head.]

Bakery

[kinship]

[It just so happens there's another small boy outside the bakery, and he knows that hangdog look quite well.]

Hungry?

[prefool]

[Looking up curiously. How could you tell?]

Um...a little.

Action ☆ Bakery

[fatedmagica]

Um, excuse me?

[ Madoka walks up behind him, looking between Minato and the baked goods. That's weird... This kid can't be Minato, he's too young... ]

What are you...?

[prefool]

[The deadpan look on his face tells you otherwise. Although, you can't be blamed if you think he resembles a younger Sayaka.]

Um, sorry. I was just looking.

Downtown

[princeofjunes]

[There's something eerily familiar about this tiny boy, and it shakes Yosuke for a moment - but he shrugs it off, deciding it must just be the boy's age throwing him off. He kneels down, to get at the boy's eye level]

I can help. Where's home?

[prefool]

[Finally, a nice adult.]

Port Island, Japan.
