EVENT

[imsorryimissed]

This is great.

[The chandelier he's sitting on swings with the motion of Oleg kicking his legs back and forth. He's been having so much fun being taller, bigger, more physically able. He can climb like never before, get into trouble with all his youthful energy.]

Hey, Captain, you're a great man. Can I stay this way, please? Pretty please?

[electroniccrane]

Hey, mister, I speak English now!

[imsorryimissed]

Hey, sweetie. You having a good time?

[electroniccrane]

Yeah! I went to the buffet!

[This is totally a big deal for her.]

[imsorryimissed]

Buffets are good. Was it good?

[Oleg has discovered in the past 24 hours that he likes kids. Go figure.]

[likeonacompass]

Seems like a lot of people want to stay this way...

[imsorryimissed]

Don't you?

[likeonacompass]

Not particularly.

[imsorryimissed]

You sound older. What were you before?

[ixgideonxi]

I don't want to stay this way. According to some old-sounding guy, I used to be older. Stronger. I don't know how that works, but I hope I'm not stuck as a teenager forever.

That'd be pretty lame.

[imsorryimissed]

Hey, I used to be eleven.

[ixgideonxi]

I'm friggin' fifteen right now! I... I don't know how old I was before, but... I was older than this!

[He blinks.]

Eleven, huh? You got the good side of the deal then.

[Huff.]

[imsorryimissed]

Yeah, I got it pretty good.

[Creak, creak goes the chandelier.]

[meinxxherz]

You and me both, brother!

[imsorryimissed]

You like being that young again? Really?

[meinxxherz]

I like not having dents in my face all the time.

And not stuttering! People keep pointing out how I talk to much, but I like talking. Really.

[imsorryimissed]

Yeah, I can tell you like talking. That's okay, though.

[fugenetics]

You're not the only one who wants to stay like this.

[imsorryimissed]

It's nice, isn't it?
