[ 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. ]

Uh.
[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!

They do say the years go by quickly. I have found it to be true enough, before.
[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.

Ha. Looking cute there, Emet-Selch.
[Just throwing that out there.]
And I guess, but...weird time to be thrown into a time bubble.

[ Hilda is looking cozy but also deeply unsure. ]
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!

[ 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. ]

[ 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...]
[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...]
Nnnnnnothing.
[ 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. ]

The jungle? They don't have a path or anything?
[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...
[Not that he minds, but he spares a glance back to Emet-Selch.]

Yes, yes, I am sure it was.
['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.

Don't worry, there's a path! I've never gone all the way down—'cause I'm not allowed—but people use it all the time.
[ 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?

I don't mind. But how dirty are we talking, kid?
[He straightens himself up, now talking to Emet-Selch.]
Yeah, I can handle it. You just stick behind me, though... [And he turns back to the kid.] Can we take anything with us? I mean, the jungle is a dangerous place. Some rope and stuff might be nice.
[HE LEARNED FROM THE SWAMP. NO MORE SWAMP PITS.]

[he was talking to hansa he's not THAT bad, most of the time,
but ughhh. fine. at least he's not wearing his own clothes for this, the horrible bird pajamas can get dirty for all he cares.]
...I suppose it is normal enough, for places like this, but I do have to agree with Hansa. If there is anything we will need, we should know of it now.

[ 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?

[ True to K's word, the path isn't horrible. It's not, like, great, because this is still a jungle and all, but it could be worse! K seems to be in awe of everything and has tried to go off the trail a few times, but he's at least sheepish because Emet-Selch probably hates that.
But the trip is taking some time, and K is getting antsy. Also, the main path is getting kind of boring, so can't they take a detour or two to see what's out there? Please?
What should Hansa and Emet-Selch do?
A. Do as K asks and go off the main path for a bit.
B. Tell him to behave and just be patient.
C. Tell him a story/do something to entertain him as you walk. ]

Like... normal dirty?
[ Wow, can't believe the kigus are coming in handy. ]
I dunno if we need anything besides food and stuff, but sure, we can grab anything you want to!
[ Hansa and Emet-Selch will find that the village doesn't have much, as it's small and has little to spare, but aside from the necessities, Hansa may obtain some rope. In the process, they hear rumours of a dangerous beast up north, but that's far away from the path they'll be taking.
Anyhow, off they go! ]

[Well, it IS a jungle. He can't say he likes the idea of a child wandering off the beaten path, as much as it would be personally fun for him.]
Hey, Emet-Selch. Think we should entertain the kid? I'm sure you have some nice stories in that big brain of yours
