[ As everyone explores the northern area, they may suddenly find they're... not quite where they're supposed to be? They're in a large village, bursting with life. However, should they try to reach out to anyone, no one will respond to them... yet.
Also, they're all in kigus of your choice. Why? Because Andie requested it.
Anyway, they will all, by mg magic, know what their objective is. There are two young children, whom they must help counsel/raise until their adulthood. ]
[ Child #1 is H, a girl who lives in the Big City Village (aka here), said to be exceptionally intelligent and studious. It seems like she has a bright future ahead of her, but apparently she has a few issues...?
Child #2 is K, an energetic boy who lives in a more remote village. By taking in this country bumpkin, they will have to introduce him to life in the Big Village.
A. Take in H. B. Take in K.
In the case of this choice, you must choose both—however, one group of 2 will have to pick A, and the other duo will have to pick B. Decide amongst yourselves who gets which child! Reply to this comment with your decision. ]
[ hewwo alyssa is here as well! after shaking off the initial confusion, she smiles and jumps to hilda's side. if she's going to take care of a kid, she'd rather be with her than the grandpas!! weirdly, though, her face looks... a little flushed? it's fine. ]
You know what, it can't be all that bad! Better something like this than the groups who have had to kill each other, right?
[ Alyssa and Hilda are introduced to a young girl, of about seven years of age or so. She's very cute, if someone who doesn't look like she cares much about her appearing beyond staying tidy, with her hair tied in a plain ponytail and her bangs probably in need of a cut.
She looks up with them a completely stoic expression, before giving a polite bow. ]
... I will be in your care from now on.
[ She sounds kind of dead inside, but it's probably fine. ]
[ well, upon first impression... this kid could use some style? perhaps she ought to dye her hair pink?
but they can start off easy. when push comes to shove, hilda doesn't actually mind children so much, so ignores the encroaching dread of ruining this baby forever as she answers with a friendly smile and a perfectly ladylike curtsy (in her kigu i guess) in return. ]
I'm Hilda—it's nice to meet you! As your new, um... guardians, let's all get along, okay?
[ h's demeanor and appearance don't seem to bother alyssa at all. similarly, she doesn't have any strong feelings about kids, she can deal. h gets a cheery wave. ]
And I'm Alyssa! I hear you're a smart girl! Clearly, that's why me and Hilda are here to take care of you—girls gotta look out for each other!
[ she is trying her hardest (?) and that's what matters (???). ]
Hm... why don't you tell us what kind of things you like to study, or what you'd like to do when you grow up? I'm a scientist, so I love hearing about what sorts of interests kids have.
[ Hansa and Emet-Selch will abruptly find themselves whisked away (still in their kigus, of course) and plopped in a different setting! It's another village, but this one seems much smaller and more sparse than the previous one they were in.
Specifically, they're at the outskirts of it, in front of an ordinary-looking young boy, around seven years of age, who's bouncing in excitement. ]
I can finally go to the main village!? Finally! No one lets me out of here anymore, ever since that one time I went exploring and got into trouble, so this is going to be great! There's nothing here.
[Well, that was an abrupt change in location. Hansa blinks, looking around with some bewilderment, before he turns his attention to this kid, who...]
[Who looks super excited and is talking about exploring and getting into trouble. Hansa is having flashbacks to his own childhood, honestly.]
You sure can. We'll show you what's what. [Yeah, he's squatting, grinning at the boy. HE VIBES WITH THIS KID.] I'm Hansa. We're going to look after you, now.
You will, of course, need to behave yourself at least somewhat--just what sort of trouble did you find for yourself before, exactly?
[while hansa gets on kid level, emet-selch does not, though to his credit he is at least standing right next to hansa and does not have his arms folded. he really cannot help but loom, though, considering how tall he is...]

[Wait a second. Wait a second here. Hansa, dressed appropriately, just throws his hands up. Sure, he knows his objective, but...]
What do you mean, adulthood? We don't have that kind of time!
no subject
[he's here in his dumb kigu, arms folded.]
Nevermind that the passing of time is hardly guaranteed to be the same, given that this is... certainly not how the place was before.
no subject
[Just throwing that out there.]
And I guess, but...weird time to be thrown into a time bubble.
no subject
It's a weird task either way—I don't think I'm up for being a role model.
[ please don't make her responsible for a CHILD ]
It'd be better to leave it to you guys with more... life experience, right? [ aka you anime olds ] I'm sure you'll all do a great job!
no subject
hilda just gets a tired look, meanwhile.]
Up for it or not, it seems you have been tasked with it as well. I doubt any of us care to act as a single parent.
no subject
You know what, it can't be all that bad! Better something like this than the groups who have had to kill each other, right?
no subject
I guess the potential of ruining some kid's life forever is less bad in the grand scheme of things...
[ too much responsibility!!! ]
What a pain.

... We'll be living together, but I can take care of personal chores myself, so you don't need to worry about that.
no subject
Oh, you're such a responsible kid!
[ at least they won't have to do chores, wahoo ]
But there must be something besides... studying and boring old chores that you want to do, right?

[ That's to Hilda.
But to Alyssa— ]
Right now, I want to learn everything I can, for the sake of my future. But... I'm interested in the sciences, so please guide me as well.
[ Alyssa is now science-senpai. ]

[ That's to Emet-Selch, as he whistles innocently. He doesn't seem too intimidated by how fucking gigantic this guy is, though.
Anyway, Hansa is his favourite now. ]
Awesome! We're gonna have to go through the jungle to get there, so I'm ready whenever you are. I mean, no rush.
[ By which he means that he wants to go very soon but he is trying to be considerate of his new babysitters, at least. ]
no subject
[Not that he minds, but he spares a glance back to Emet-Selch.]
I mean, I'm okay with that kind of route, but maybe your other caretaker won't be...
no subject
['nothing'. this kid is full of it, but that's a very small child thing, so.
and hansa is not wrong, he looks very tired already at the mention of going through the jungle, but he sighs and waves a hand.]
If it is the only way, then it is the only way. I trust that you can handle anything we may come across... though I do hope it is not a long path.
no subject
[ Sure hope Emet-Selch is asking Hansa to handle any dangers, though, and not the seven-year-old child. ]
... Well, as long as you don't mind getting a little dirty. [ He scratches the back of his neck, sheepish. ] But that's just normal, right?
