[11] welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
Who: Howling Sabers
Where: Mostly in the Southeast
When: Early/mid-May
What: First half of May's catch-all, up to and including de-aging event.
Warnings: They've been remarkably well-behaved recently. Probably none?
Style: Any.
Status: Closed to crew unless someone wants to appear suddenly.
OOC note: Up until now, the Sabers have sailed dafuq away after the fiasco at Corsair Island, spent some time illegally repainting their ship, and found an island deserted by most things except scorpions. Please include date in your top-post!

no subject
His mind flashes to the last moments he saw his brother at that age and he takes a step back without meaning to. Everything tunnel-visions to that little boy. The actual words he speaks aren't heard.]
Sasuke?
[It takes a long couple moments for him to be able to address his brother, and at first he doesn't even realize he's the one that did it.]
no subject
He waves once he's wrestled the chicken into submission.]
Something weird happened overnight again, but it's alright. I know who I am.
no subject
It's alright. He's not angry. He's just small. He's expecting help.
That last bit hadn't been stated, but Itachi's mind fills it in automatically. He reigns in his emotions, stepping closer to his little brother and kneeling down.]
I don't seem to be affected... But you'll let me know if I'm acting differently.
[A pause, and he holds his hands out.] Should I take that for you?
no subject
He puts the thought out of mind and looks down at the chicken with an annoyed frown.]
This thing is stupid. It doesn't recognize me at all; I'm just shorter.
[The chicken makes a flail at Itachi, finally recognizing someone it knows.]
no subject
He moves to take the animal.]
... We'll lock it up for the time being, so it doesn't cause anyone trouble.
[Because they'll be having enough trouble without it.]
no subject
I'm not the only one, but some of us have outright forgotten what's going on.
[He pauses, and then in a lower voice, expression dropping into something more serious:] Even if I remember, though, my body at this age isn't used to channeling chakra the way I am. If we're attacked now ...
[He trails off, but it's obvious enough that they have a severe handicap with so many of the crew stuck in younger, and presumably weaker, bodies.]
no subject
Taking the chicken, he pets it soothingly to help keep it calm.]
I will stay close to you.
[It's just short of a demand. Sasuke is still the captain.]
no subject
We'll more likely need to find some way to keep all the kids in line and in one place.
no subject
... Agreed.
Who among our crew has not been de-aged? [And who would make a better caretaker than Itachi would...]
no subject
So far the only one besides you I've seen at their normal age is the younger Link, but ... he's a kid anyway.
no subject
[That's problematic. He shouldn't be the oldest one on any crew, not with this many on board. He'll help take charge if he has to, and hopefully this won't last long.]
And I'm sure keeping them away from their journals will be difficult.
no subject
People probably think we're kidnappers now.
no subject
[He frowns. What would have caused it to affect them specifically?]
Do we know if that's the case?
no subject
I can look.
no subject
no subject
It's not just us. This is -- this might be the most powerful thing yet. Whatever does these things hasn't changed our bodies before.
[He remembers hearing something, though, expression growing pensive.] Except once before we arrived.
no subject
[He frowns in thought. Had he heard about this?] What was said to have happened then?
no subject
... at the time, I thought they were hallucinating or something, but it seems more possible now.
no subject
[He closes his eyes a moment, absorbing the implications of this.]
At least there always seem to be at least some that aren't affected. That's something to work with.
no subject
If there were some way to predict who would and wouldn't be affected, it would be more helpful. What if all of us are turned into infants or something and no one is left normal except Draco?
no subject
... So far we've always been left with at least a little bit of functionality. Let's hope that continues, even if we can't rely on it.
We should consider fail-safes.
no subject
[But Itachi's suggestion strikes notice, and he looks up at his brother (already used to the angle: and there is no fear, he tells himself, at the memory of it) with a curious frown.]
What do you suggest?
no subject
[Not something easily admitted by one who's usually prepared twice over.]
But there has to be something. Jutsus. Emergency wards. Ways to shut all of us in or shut others out.
no subject
no subject
... Perhaps something that anyone could activate. Various things, in case of emergencies. Depending on the situation.
