Child Event and Blackout Log

[stringmods]

Who: Anyone
Where: Around the city and in the apartments
When: November 15-18
Summary: Little kids everywhere!  Also the power grid is on the fritz.
Warnings: Hopefully none!

With the network and the city's electricity once again malfunctioning, the power to most of the city has either been knocked out or is malfunctioning.  And since inconvenient things rarely happen in a vacuum in Hinoto-Ri, a portion of the city has also been affected by some strange new curse, reverting to childlike forms.  Business in and around the city has ground to a standstill due to the power problems, and without functioning heat in the apartments, extra blankets and huddling together for warmth are the order of the day.  It's still possible to go outside as the government hasn't imposed any additional curfews, and the demons during the 13th Hour are as active as ever, but some people may just want to ride this out until everything is back to normal.

((OOC: Feel free to make your own top-level comments either mingling in your apartments or out and about in town.  The child event effects are in full swing, and taking place concurrent with the blackout from November 15th through the 18th.  Please label your posts with your character's name and location.  We apologize for the slight lateness of this log!))

Akihiko starts to gravitate towards the steps of the dormitory. "I can't leave my little sister here. She'll get scared if I'm gone too long...I think." He frowns a little. But... "Hey, you wanna stay with us? We have some food, and you won't be alone!"

"Um... is that okay?" He hasn't seen Kairi or Naminé around to make sure they're okay, but he's sure he can contact them over the network later. And maybe they're not even kids like him. After a moment, he nods. "I'd like that, if it's not a bother."

"Um..." He needs to ask an adult-wait. No. He is the adult. This is a dorm. He can have guests over, right? "Yeah! It's okay!" He exclaims, a bit of determination on his face.

"Thanks, Akihiko." Riku smiles gently, nodding at the admission. He's glad he found another friend he can ask for help if he needs it. That's always good, and this Akihiko friend seems kinda like he needs help too, anyway. "I'm sorry I made you cry. Did it hurt?"
