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!))

"'Kay! Do you have any idea where she could be?" He's even trying to be polite, referring to the knife as a person and everything.

Sarah actually stops to think about that.

"Um...I was climbing one of those weird tall weeds that're all over the place when I saw some kinda weird animal with a bushy tail, and that's when I realized I didn't have Mom."

[bondsofsuffering]

"Huh? What weeds?" There aren't any weeds that are that tall around here... You definitely couldn't climb them.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"Dunno. Never saw anything like 'em before."

Pause.

"...they were made of that 'wood' stuff Mom's handle is made of, so maybe they're knife plants?"

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh.

"...You mean trees?"

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"Is that what they're called?"

[bondsofsuffering]

"Yeah. They're really big," which he demonstrates, standing on tip-toe and throwing his arms into the air briefly, "and sometimes they've got lots of green leaves. But it's too cold right now, so a lot of them don't anymore."
