[What's this? It's a house full of babies! Although one of the babies is actually one year older today, she hasn't been made aware of the date yet.

What's your Villa resident doing? Are they one of the few that still has their sanity with their curse or are they past all that? Who knows!]

Comments

[demonicdiabetes]

[ Not that he really had his sanity in the first place. There isn't much of a difference between tiny Amaimon and bigger Amaimon, except for a total lack of discrimination regarding whatever goes into his mouth. Which even then was nearly present in his older self. But now it's gone completely. So you might find him chewing on a chair or perhaps helping himself to a healthy, lovely dose of cutlery. ]

[spacecase]

Wait!

[Clearly he asked to be scooped up by some strange human woman he's never seen before. She holds up (just far enough away to not get bitten) the little demon and frowns.]

Amaimon? Don't eat that, it's bad for you!

[demonicdiabetes]

[ Just confused baby sounds and him looking at Jade, making grabby hands at her and drooling profusely from his mouth. Watch out for your fingertips, Jade. ]

[pierrotdemonique]

AMAAAAAAAAIMOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!

[ The outburst rings throughout the Villa. He figured his brother would be here. Maybe it was the trail of cookie crumbs and nommables that led to the Villa. But at any rate, he's there right now holding up a half-eaten dool-wet manga compilation. ]

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

[spacecase]

[Who has time to enjoy being temporarily an adult when there are suddenly MILLIONS OF BABIES to take care of? Hero of Space duties never end, apparently! Even when you're long past the age of playing the game.

Or at least you appear to be.

Your name is JADE HARLEY, what will you do with all this chaos?]

[peeppeepmthrfckrs]

[So, somehow little Davesprite got onto the roof. And then he accidentally falls down the chimney.

Welp. At least he's not hurt. He just coughs a lot because wow dusty and sooty!]

[knightime]

JADE. [Probably you should calm down the other person who got swapped older.

He's shivering up a storm, soaping wet, with a towel haphazardly wrapped around his waist. Guess which lazy son of a fuck went to shower in a half asleep stupor only to get out and realize non of the clothes he brought fits him.] Holy shit, Jade. I'm gonna freeze my balls off, can you like make this clothes bigger? Please? I'm gonna fucking die in the next few minutes. Jade. Please. I'm freezing. [Also, hi. You're looking older. He'll ask about that when he's not running around the villa with only a towel. Ok? Ok.]

[peeppeepmthrfckrs]

[Davesprite is now clean and ready to explore the villa, thanks to Jade. He's pretty much going to be getting into everything. Curiosity killed the birdie, in some cases.]

[darkasnight]

[Like this one.

There is a very small (most likely a runt) black and white kitten with two tiny little horns coming off his head and a pair of equally small bat-like wings protruding from his back, currently stalking the orange little peepsprite.

He crouches down low, eyes trained on Davesprite from up on the couch before suddenly he--

POUNCE]

[alittlecourage]

[And thiiis little bitty is still determined to find any sign of her father or mother, so she's exploring the house. Maybe she's gotten distracted by the discovery of the library and all the grown up books she can't quite read yet, maybe she's sitting down in the middle of the hall suddenly really bored and wanting a nap.

Who knows, what do seven year olds even do nowadays?]

[symmetrophile]

[Who even knows.

But we do get to find out what a certain Grim Reaper (fully realized) does on the day this seven year old has her birthday, seeing as the now nine foot tall figure garbed in black with a distinctive skull-like mask is sweeping down the hall with something on a tray.

It's an elaborate little fruit tart purchased from the bakery, appealingly symmetrical, with a single candle flickering. It's seated on a flat, gift-wrapped object. And Kid is humming.

That sure is "Happy Birthday". Oh my god Kid you really embraced your father's ways.]

[knightime]

Hey...hey. Don't fall asleep in the hall. There are beds for that shi-stuff. [God damn it. What is mouth filters.] Come on. [Don't make him carry you. He will.]

[diehardreaper]

[ And here's everyone's favorite brown-noser checking in on his would-be inlaws. Well, scratch in-laws. Try favorite people in the bubble. He's seen the kids around the city so he can't help but wonder how they're faring. He knocks, peering in and clearing his throat. ]

Rin? Maka? Kid? Oi! How're you lot holding up? Seems to be a bit of a mess with all those kids out there...

[hellspawned]

[Ready to have a heart attack, Ron?

Can reapers even have heart attacks?

Well they can probably get the shit scared out of them.

If he wanders in to the kitchen Ronald will be treated to the sight of a certain much smaller Okumura, on his knees on the counter, one of the kitchen table chairs butted up against it as his obvious means of climbing up there.

What is he doing?

Reaching for a chef's knife from the block of cooking knives his much older self bought.

Clearly this is not something a child should be doing.]

living room

[darkasnight]

[If you happen to be walking through the living room couch, you may notice a long, black tail waving slowly from underneath. Lying in wait (or rather, in hiding) is Night for no particular reason other than to do.

And because he fits perfectly underneath the couch.]

[alittlecourage]

[She's not even part cat and she's entranced by the waving.

Apparently she's always had a thing for tails.]

Kitty? Is that you?

[alittlefreshheir]

[A tail you say? Hmm...]

[Obviously, this is a thing that needs to be grabbed. Pronto. Right now. Taaaaaaiiiillllll!]

1/13; living room

[toheirishuman]

[Sometime that fateful curse-filled Sunday morning, there's a loud screech from that one room that's normally filled with a bunch of kids only today it's not. You know the one. Anyway, John was more than a little surprised to wake up in a room full of strangers and promptly got the fuck out of there as fast as his stubby little four-and-a-half-year-old legs would take him. He got out of there so fast that all he's wearing is a shirt that's way too big for him at this point. Probably going to need to do something about that eventually. But not now. Now is escaping time.]

[He tripped at the bottom of the stairs and skinned his knee a little, but he didn't stay down for long. No, he can cry about his knee later. Because now he needs to focus on finding a place to hide.]

[Perhaps you find him while he's still searching, maybe you just happen to open the dryer or linen closet and find a tiny, weepy John inside. Perhaps you find him a couple of hours later, over it, and trying to get a snack out of the kitchen. Or maybe even something else entirely, who knows. For a guy who's been asleep since Christmas, he sure isn't feeling tired today!]

[spacecase]

[It's not like she wasn't already in the kitchen trying to restock the fridge after a little hellspawn decimated the contents or anything.]

John?

[Yep, that sure is her baby brother, and that sure is big sister even older older than she was before. She closes the fridge after putting in some malk milk and kneels down to be at his level.]

John! Where have you been?

Apparently I need more bitty cuteness in my life

[peeppeepmthrfckrs]

[Davesprite's passing by the laundry room when he hears someone sniffle inside. Curious, he goes in and searches for the source.

Lo and behold, there is a tiny, weepy kid inside the dryer.]

Whatcha doin' in there?

[seeriousrosebud]

[[John. John, why are you in the dryer. She heard the weeping and had to investigate, and low and behold that sure is the child form of her boyfriend.]]

John? What on earth are you doing in here?

[knightime]

[He's too tired to deal with your motherfucking shit, John. But here's Dave flashstepping about until he finds John. Holy shit, how'd you get over here so fast you little shit.

But he kind of just scoops John up when he finds him.]

Alright, kiddo. We're gonna stop playing this little game of duck, duck, goose. You are a lot harder to catch then people probably think. Watcha been doing? Come on, you can talk right? I ain't gonna hurt you. [His life is so suffering. His best friend is tiny. His best friend is tiny. Oh motherfuck.]

[seeriousrosebud]

[[Rose felt this was all to advantageous of an opportunity to pass up, so while she was fully aware who she was and where they were and that she was not supposed to be six, she was going to pretend otherwise. At least for now.

And first order of business is sneaking into the cookie jar!!! Because a cookie will help her. Cookies help everything.]]

[spacecase]

[WHAP!

Was that a newspaper whacking her hand? That was definitely a newspaper whacking her hand.]

Wash your hands before reaching in there, Rose.

[Mama Jade is not amuse.]

[knightime]

[Guess who's also old as dirt now? Dave is old as dirt. He takes the cookie jar, eyebrow slightly raised.

Yeah... Yep. That's Rose alright. Definitely Rose. Oh god damn it.] You eat lunch or are you sneaking snacks? Kids who do that get in a lot of trouble when they're caught you know.
