TYL Event - after Nagi's return to his normal age

[You know who has no respect for personal property? Or, apparently, bazookas? This guy. He literally tried to just grab the thing off of Lambo, because there is no possible way wrenching a bazooka out of someone's hands could end in anything other than candy and rainbows. Or whatever would be the evil equivalent as far as Schuldig is concerned - probably tears and kicked puppies.

It's been mentioned before that Schuldig has no inkling of common sense, and this should be an excellent reminder to everyone how crippling of a disability that is.

What actually happened was that the bazooka got dropped onto hard concrete and went off more or less in the telepath's face. And instead of being blown into the bloody, quarter-sized pieces he probably deserved, he got rocketed back into the past, while his twelve-year-old self has been jerked forward in time and dumped into Mayfield.

The upshot of this is that a small, skinny boy with scruffy orange hair is prowling around Mayfield. He's dressed in worn, nondescript grey clothing and looks kind of malnourished; there are many methods of discipline in Rosenkrüs, and denial of food is actually one of the pleasanter ones. Unlike others in this same situation, he seems less confused than wary and suspicious...but those who expect Schuldig's usual personality in a smaller package will be significantly surprised if they approach him. He's fairly easy to recognize with that hair, in any case.]


[OOC: I wish I had more icons for him as a kid, but this is pretty much the only one that even looks remotely close. :| You may see a lot of it.]

...can I sleep? It's nicer here than at Rosenkrüs. [By which he means there are no sounds of crying or telepathic whispers of people being tortured or murdered or going insane.]

I don't see why not. Where do you wanna go? [He half expects Keane to demand to see Crawford.]

[Oh, he will later, but for now he wants to take advantage of this strange reprieve.] I don't know. Do you have someplace?

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you'd like you can come crash at my house. We've got plenty of room and I doubt the kids'll bother you.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
You have kids?

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, sorta. [He makes a face. He knew Nagi would kill him, literally, if he ever heard Ken referring to him as 'his kid']

This place assigns us families and I got stuck in the dad slot. I don't really mind, I like kids. It's just weird when a town thinks your a dad of an 11 year old girl when you're only 19 yourself.

[Keane looks understandably baffled by this. But he also looks tired.] ...okay. [He's probably decided it's not worth trying to figure out.] Where do you live?

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not far from here. Just let me pay the bill and we'll go, ok?

[identity profile] victimofgod.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so. [But there's been a spate of people being de-aged; Mayfield is a closed community, and that hair.]

[identity profile] clairvoyeur.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
...do you know what the secret is? To getting out of there?

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
You want me to pick you up?

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. [Keane will wait obediently.]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He stands up and pays the nice lady, and comes back to the table.]

Alright. Let's go.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Even if I'm the same person, I'm not the same as him. So you don't know me.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know there was a secret to it at all.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets to his feet and will follow Ken quietly to the man's house. His refusal to go crazy regardless of the provocations Rosenkrüs might throw at him has demonstrated a stubborn streak, but Schuldig's openly rebellious nature doesn't seem evident yet.]

[He takes Keane inside and looks around at the shoes to see who's home.]

Nagi's probably at Crawford's still, so you can use his room.

[Giggles, agreeing:] Up!

[identity profile] clairvoyeur.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
When the future has paths, multiples, different potential outcomes, Keane, they all have... themes. Choices we make which by and large force different outcomes. [] There are insubstantial futures where neither of us make it out of that place. When we do, it's... it's always together.

[Keane's pupils seem to dilate a bit, or perhaps it's a trick of perception; whatever the case, his eyes seem to get wider and darker all at once.] ...so as long as I hold out, so do you? [His mind is already curling itself tightly around this vitally important certainty, with all the bloody-minded determination that not even the shift to Schuldig ironed out of him.]

[identity profile] clairvoyeur.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that, yes. When either of us becomes sloppy, things change for the other.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I wasn't going to let them break me when it was just me. There's no way in hell I'll let them break us both.

[identity profile] clairvoyeur.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[] Then I'll be seeing you again in about... ten years.

[identity profile] have-your-lives.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Keane grins. Crawford's probably keeping him from detecting that there's anything strange about that smile.] Technically, you'll be seeing me the whole time.
