What is this mockery? There are useless children quibbling about on every corner. Though, admittedly, their intelligence level has not significantly decreased from their older state

Do you know what happened?

[innes_of_frelia]

You were formerly an older version of yourself. For some reason, you reverted back into a childhood state. Is that what you wished to know?

[laconicshadow]

Yes.

[mistshine]

...

You don't know that for sure. And we do care about them. We're not wasting anything.

[innes_of_frelia]

Oh, truly, care. As we waste valuable time on actually solving the problems of our memory losses, or even to convert them back.

[mistshine]

The island's always let us go back to normal after a week. They need to be looked after in the meanwhile.

[innes_of_frelia]

So you are merely content with sitting and waiting every time the island changes the situation. Though we possess manpower and strength, we will simply sit here and merely play with the children.

Pah.

*UP*

*storms across room*

*SLAP*

This isn't just about you.

[innes_of_frelia]

... Pah.

*looks at [her] from the side of his eyes*

Indeed. What I say isn't just about me. It is only for the benefit of the whole that I suggest we stop sugar-coating our words to the children.

Though I suppose you are one of the weaklings who support fluffy ideals that make no logical sense.

[heroic_commoner]

The kids are turning back soon, right? All you're doing is making them miserable for the next couple days! There's no need to make it sound like they'll be stuck here like this forever!

Even if you just wanted to tell the truth, that was unacceptable! You insulted all of the children and everyone who's trying their hardest to make them feel better or take care of them, when all you're doing is sitting around complaining.

You're wrong. This IS about you. The only reason you're doing this is to take our your own frustration on someone else to make yourself feel better.

[innes_of_frelia]

There is no guarantee that the children would revert back, and no guarantee that we will ever get off this forsaken island to see again our beloved. A continuous lie, then, seems more set to soothe your soul, then those who should hear the truth.

Though worry not, for an unreliable source tells me that they should be reverting back tomorrow. That should make you feel better about yourself, or some nonsense like that.

It seems that you are the frustrated one. It is not my fault that I would not be allowed to care for the children, even if I did indeed care. The baby-sitters have formed an elite circle entrapping themselves, excluding those they deem 'dangerous' or 'harmful.' In doing so, you can tell yourself that you are the hard-working one, that nobody else helps you. A self-pity party, it seems.

I, myself, am indeed helping them in another way--I will tell the children the truth. It is not complaining that I am doing--I am informing them. Take your own bitter medicine in your own bitter corner.

[sexy_swordsman]

Oh joy. You again. While I don't like small children any more than you do, what you're doing is complete and utter insanity. You revel in others' misery, which is obviously why you're being so disgustingly heartless. I thought you could sink no lower when you insulted Kanda while he was upset, and did exactly what he wanted to avoid, but tormenting children? Revolting. Do this world a favor and learn to shut your mouth.

[innes_of_frelia]

Perhaps in your joy, you have forgotten that these children are nothing more than adults turned miniature. I do not take joy out of misery, but the truth is the truth. To hide it from them any longer would make you the criminal, not I.

[sexy_swordsman]

You're so unskilled at detecting sarcasm that it sickens me.

And isn't that convenient? They still have the memories and emotions of 6 year olds, regardless of your excuses to torment them. Why should they need to know they were once adults? Either they'll turn back soon, or they'll just relive their childhoods here. Please God let it be the former. Either way, telling them does no good.

[innes_of_frelia]

Pah. I suppose I must be patient with such idiocy. I will state this again. Telling them will do them more good than lying to them. They will realize, soon enough, that their parents are not coming. And they will no longer trust adults. What you are suggesting is a big lie to comfort the children--and yourself.

[captain_six]

I will ask you the same question that I asked the boisterous man with the silver hair.

Are you trying to incite panic?

[innes_of_frelia]

Panic? No. But it seems that it is not the children who are panicking, but rather the so-called adults.
