The Bitty Meme

photo tumblr_lat5tl1OxK1qc1896o1_500_zps0cbc3040.gif

Time to re-explore that childhood (or get one for the first time). Rules are as simple as usual!

૪ Post up your character -- name and canon.

૪ When replying to someone's post, go and RNG for option one, and see just how conscious you'll be of the trouble you're in.

૪ You can hit it up further for options 1-11 of wat do, and then, let it rip!

૪ Cue crack, hilarity, fluff, angst- a full spectrum of genres.

૪ ????

૪ PROFIT!

You're Just An:

1. Adult mind in the wrong body - looks like you really shouldn't have drank that potion, after all! Better hope nobody sees you like this, and that the effects aren't permanent...

2. Adorable bitty all rounder - Maybe it was an accident, maybe not. But your size is your age, with all the mental attributes that come with it.

Okay, So Wat Do?:

1. Back to school! First day back, middle of term with a small bullying problem? Time for your bitty to get some edumacation. Play with some friends or get the teacher involved! If your adult instincts are still all there, maybe you could play yourself up as a child genius; who knows? Someone might catch you out...

2. It's adventure time!~ Them kids have all the imagination. Quickly! Your damsel in distress needs rescuing from the dragon! It's time to kiss the bride! Play time has no rules, and neither does this prompt- except for curfew. Mother dearest always said to be back before dark.

3. Gots a boo boo! Oh dear, looks like someone's gone and skinned their knee. This requires a serious operation of silly jokes and coddling, before those tears start to fall and never seem to stop.

4. I think I love you! Young love is just so beautiful. Maybe you're pulling pigtails, so to speak. Maybe you have a crush on your teacher, and you just HAVE to get it out there. The clearest sign of love is always a note, however- just make sure to make that 'yes' box really big, so they know exactly where to tick.

5. They went away. We all lose loved ones, sometimes. Maybe the rents have just split, maybe your best friend is moving away. Maybe the only reply that can really be given is that "they're in heaven now, sweetheart". Whatever the reason, they're just not there, and you want to know why.

6. Off to the circus! Or the theme park. Or the aquarium. It's babies day out, with all the crack, fluff, and panic inducing moments implied. Pet a lion! Go on the Ferris wheel! Just try not to lose your adult companion, or things could become dicey.

7. You're in big doo-doo, mister. You missed curfew by ten minutes. Your Sunday best is covered in mud and god knows what else, and you let rip that new swear word you picked up from that friend you're not allowed to play with. You bet your ass you'll be in the naughty corner for weeks.

8. Big ball of FUBAR. You went and got yourself lost, at no fault of your own. The big kids pushed you down the well, and left you there. All you know is you're in a huge amount of trouble, and a little kindness is going to have to go a long way to get you safe.

9. Go the fuck to sleep. Dreamland is good, trust me. No really- don't get out of bed, you're fine right. There. Its time for bed, or to prepare for it! Bath time doesn't mean run down the halls naked, but if you catch a quick break, I'm sure you can achieve great things.

10. Time to shine! This is your big moment, right here. That dance recital you've been working hard on, the Christmas play, and you're the tree. This is a big point in your life, a time where you can show off your skills and make history! This is it. You're making it happen.

11. Choose your own adventure! Re-roll, or get out another idea that appeals to you.

I am not! [ HUFFS. ] What's your brother's name you little twerp?

Don't call me a twerp!

[Look, he can stand up for himself! Sort of!]

[ looms over byakuya, looking a bit ~~creepy~~threatening ]

Answer the question.

Edited 2013-01-30 10:29 (UTC)

[immediately backs into the wall]

...Kariya. He's still small, so you should leave him alone.

Kariya... ? [ okay this is officially too weird to be entirely coincidental. am i being punk'd? ashton, get your sorry ass out here. ]

Th-this better not be a joke.

It's not! Who are you?

[ yeah, ok. this kid is a total wuss. just like dad. ... but this is still some weird disney channel movie shit.

cue the nervous chuckling again. ]

As if I didn't already spend enough time babysitting you.

You do not! You're a stranger!

You're definitely wrong about that.

You're probably a robber! I-I'm going to tell Uncle!

[By which he means run the fuck away.]

[ aw, shit. ]

Whoa, whoa -- y-you don't need to do that! Listen, we're uh.

We're related, okay.

No way!

[Nope running off. Good thing this is Shinji's version of the place and there's no one for him to tattle to.]

[ it takes shinji a few steps to realize that by "uncle" byakuya means zouken, not kariya. still, he's gonna chase him anyway. little brat needs to keep his mouth shut. ]

S-STOP IT, IF HE SEES YOU... [ shinji really doesn't want to have to explain what he isn't completely sure of himself. ]

[Unfortunately for Shinji, while he has much longer legs than Byakuya, Byakuya is not yet physically deteriorated and thus he's quick. But that set of rooms has been empty for years, so when he slams the door open and find them bare and dusty he stops in his tracks.]

...Ah?

[ shinji might be impressed if be weren't so damn pissed off. trying to catch his breath, he nearly barrels into byakuya, running through the now open door. feet skidding to a stop it takes him a moment to look up. ugh, he forgot how most of this place could be such a creepy dump. but he'll take this moment to shut them inside in case the little guy freaks out. ]

Uh, we don't keep anything in this wing...

But-- This is--

[impending meltdown in 3

Yep here come the waterworks.]

No, no, don't -- [ shit. he had to find a way to shut him up quick. with kariya's creepy kid radar and all if byakuya kept this up it would only be a matter of time. with a groan and a couple of choice mumbled curses, shinji kneels down to byakuya's eye level. ]

Hey, you gotta cut that out. Look, don't freak, just... [ uhhhhh ] What's the last thing you remember? Before seeing me.

Edited 2013-01-30 17:54 (UTC)

I-I just got home from school and went inside...

[He's trying to calm down, but it's not really working. This is clearly not "home", and he doesn't know what to do about it at all. Fortunately for Shinji, he's more of a quiet crier (all the better to stay out of the way with).]

[ looking a bit at a loss, he tentatively (awkwardly) reaches out and pats byakuya's shoulder. ] Uh...

Look, there's obviously been some sort of mistake. [ probably someone's stupid magic fucking things up. ] But it sort of has to get fixed eventually, so...

[His automatic reponse is to flinch away from that touch. Shinji is a stranger, and Byakuya isn't accustomed to anyone touching him in general. It's weird and freaks him out even worse.]

But that could be forever!

[ whoa, damn. maybe dad is even more damaged goods than shinji had initially expected. putting up both hands in surrender mode, he backs off. ]

Geez, uh, okay -- [ sigh. ] It won't be forever, don't be such a drama queen. [ this was definitely his father. ]

It will! They won't come get me and then they'll forget I was ever there!

Look, would you stop freaking out for five minutes? We might be able to figure this out. [ he grumbles, dragging his hands down his face. ]

I didn't think you could be more annoying.

[Ok fine he will make a valiant (for him) attempt at not crying anymore. It involves a lot of sniffs and quivering lip.]

[ watching his dad cry like that is pretty unnerving too, actually. DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE IT REMINDS HIM OF HIMSELF AT HIS AGE, NO... because he and byakuya are nothing alike. at all. of course. ]

I mean it. You gotta shut up, or I'll just lock you outside. [ he nods at the door. ] Just follow me.

[ quietly, he opens the door and peers into the hallway. okay, coast is clear! ]
