82. Another Year

[corrinesbell]

You know, a year ago today, I was eight. Wonder what that makes me now.

I'm glad Corrine's back, but I'm worried too. He's never been brought back like that before. I'm not gonna be able to go out much until he gets better. Hope the patrols go okay.

[if anyone wants to run into Sheena, she will be periodically out behind her house, training. She's not going much farther than that from her front door]

Eight, a year ago?

... Do I want to know?

[corrinesbell]

There was an experiment that turned a bunch of us into kids. ...I was myself before...all the stuff with Volt.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. Were you aware you were turned into kids?

[corrinesbell]

I don't think I was. ...I don't really remember it to be honest.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

You were... eight?

[corrinesbell]

Because of an experiment, yeah.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

Oh... that's such a strange experiment.

[torrenziale.livejournal.com]

My guess would be nine.

What are the patrols?

[corrinesbell]

People who go out and check the area for anyone the Malnosso have returned.

[torrenziale.livejournal.com]

Hn. But not for any Malnosso that might be skulking around.

People are taken often?

Isn't it your birthday?

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah. It is. Why?

I was gonna get something for you. But I'm a bit indisposed.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

It sounds really weird when you put it like that.

[corrinesbell]

What makes it weird?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Well, like you aged... [tries counting on his fingers, gives up] a bunch of years instead of one. Uh... how old are you today, anyway?

[chikaidestroyer]

So your birthday occurred during that particular experiment.

[written]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, it did. ...It mattered a lot more back then. When I was a kid, I mean.

[written]

[chikaidestroyer]

Were you aware of your birthday at the time? I'm afraid I wasn't around.

[Sup Sheena, this is a Taichi randomly being nosy and wandering through peoples' yards. He'll stop though once he sees her training. This is new...we'll just hang out behind this tree here and watch for the time being]

[keeps going for a while, but she was almost done when he got there. As she turns to go back in the house she spots a someone]

Who's there?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Spotted :| Well okay...ninja...lots of purple...fits the description enough. Comes out from the trees then] You're Sheena, right?

[Corrine is curled up comfortably on the couch, all bandaged up, but looking much better than he had earlier.]

[corrinesbell]

[taking a break from training to sit on the couch with lemonade and a bff]

You look a lot better already.

[shinyfoxsummon]

Corrine still hurts, but it's a lot better now.
