Ickle Meatships!

Hopefully no one sues me for semi-stealing the SLEEP meme format but!



ICKLE!

Think about or think back on the childhood days/younger days of your character (or your character now if they already are kids). There's a huge playroom with a mountain of toys....

Have fun, Kids! And no fightings!

Kaylee doesn't really know how long it's been... "A lot of years." And then, as if it'll help, "At least a hundred years."

There's a moment of stunned silence, and Jamie just stares at Kaylee. One hundred... That can't be possible. Can it?

Finally, he swallows hard and asks, "W-what year is it where you're from?"

Alright, even people who ain't been to school know the date of things. "2508, 'course!" she replies, though she does her best to keep the surprise out of her voice.

There sure were plenty of strange kids around here.

"2508!" The color drains out of Jamie's face, and he finds he has to sit down rather suddenly. "That's..." He breaks off, counting on his fingers. "Almost 800 years."

Maybe she's kidding, right? "Are ye sure?"

Eight hundred years? Kaylee doesn't look much better than Jamie. "'M positive," she says, slightly less than positively.

That explains the leeches, maybe...

Jamie continues to sit in a stunned silence for a few long moments before his brain can come up with a logical explanation. He must have stumbled across a faery ring, he figures, and they brought him here.

Abruptly, he relaxes. Even at this age, once he's able to figure out a reason for what's happening he's generally fine with things - no matter how strange. "Aye, well. Guess when I'm from doesna matter so much. I'm here now." He even manages to smile. "So I guess ye are stuck with me."

Good enough for Kaylee. She grins, and points back towards the legos. "I can teach ya 'bout spaceships, if you want?"

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie grins back. "Okay!" he says, enthusiastic about the prospect.

Kaylee takes his sleeves and leads him over. "Alright, you gotta pay close attention, cuz some of it's tricky," she warned, before diving into building and explanations. It's gonna be a fun afternoon.
