[Xanth had been in the middle of getting some food from the buffet when the change came. Suddenly the world is so much bigger and his clothes don't fit and where is he what's happening oh no no no what's going on--]

W-what-- what's happening?

[He sounds like he's about to cry.]

((Xanth is ten years old and just above four feet tall! What fun.))

[Since his talk with Kairi and Jinx's punishment, Xanth hasn't been sleeping very well or even coming out of his room much at all. But everyone has to eat sometime, right? And look, he's even sleeping!

Except that it's probably not for the best that he's doing it out here. He's at one of the tables in the buffet, plate pushed aside to make room ( Read more... )

((OOC: Backdated to just after this and before punishments went up.))

[It's a hurt unlike any he's felt before. That's not to say it's the worst pain he's ever felt, but this is... different. His heart hurts.

He's on the stairs up between decks nine and eight. He's heading up to the forest to hide.]

[Xanth is sheepish today! But not apologetic.]

H--hey, uh, G... Gideon? A-Are you busy r-right now? Be-- because, uh, I was just, I was wondering if... if m-maybe y-you could... come down to S--Sergei's?

I mean, uh, you don't-- you don't have to if, you, uh, don't w-want to or if, y-you know, you're busy or... something...

Uhhh.

Y-- yeah!

...h-hey, uh, Kairi?

[Xanth clears his throat. Awkward is rolling off this kid in waves, as usual.]

I-I was, uh, just-- I was thinking, w-wondering, m-more like -- if, uh, you...

...uh...

[Hesitant pause.]

...w-would... you m-meet me s-somewhere? On, uh, m--maybe-- th-the flower deck?

Hhhi.

Um, I-I was, uh, just... wondering, you know... since w-we got rained out last time, does-- does anyone want to try c-camping a--again? In, maybe... two or-- or three days?

((OOC: He means Friday, by the way. :3))

Uhm-- u-uh, hi.

I-- have-- t-two things, today.

F--first, Greed? I-I, uhm, I finished y--your clothes! I'm-- I'm sorry, about... the wait.

[He was just a little caught up. Ghadd hangover, wolf attacks, you know. Usual Hellboat business.]When-- when is good f-for you to get them ( Read more... )

[This was getting ridiculous. One one hand, he couldn't catch a break -- but on the other, at least the wolf lost interest after the first strike ( Read more... )

[The patter of raindrops is the first sound audible, but then Xanth's voice cuts in over it.]

Rain.

I-It... it's... it's r-really raining.

[Will wonders never cease ( Read more... )

[For once, Xanth doesn't sound hurt, or frightened, or panicked. He does, however, sound concerned.]

D-Does, uhm, does-- does a-anyone know if the books a-are s-safe now? Th-the, uh, the-- the library ones.

[Not that he can read, but hey! He's trying ( Read more... )
