Video: 004 Calling all children!

[did_i_say_percy]

[Armand waves at the camera, then shrugs.]

I, uh, have seem a few extra children around lately. If you have unexpected children on your hands, I could watch them. Sometimes anyway.

It's Armand, if you remember me. If you don't, I just woke up again about a week or so ago. I'm good with children.

[Another embarrassed shrug, then he switches off.]

[private to Todd]

[Armand is less nervous for this message.]

Todd, I hear you still have one of those huge beasts. I've been wanting to say 'hello' again. Do you have time to come by? I'm staying above Callahan's for now. Until I get my bearings again.

I hear a lot has happened, and I'd love to hear what you think about it all.

[He gives a sudden smile before turning the device off.]

Comments

[Armand was merely expressing his worry.] If he upsets you too much, you can always come tell me. It might make you feel better.

[Todd may have gotten a little more used to people caring what happened to him, since he got to Verdana, but Armand is still a kind of new variable. He's still working out the guy's place in things and just what all he really does care about.]

... sure, okay, if you want. I'll probably be okay, though. It's just annoying, ya know? Friend suddenly goes all total opposite-day on ya.

[Armand decides he just has to accept that. Todd actually does seem a little more adept at looking after himself compared to some people, even Armand himself.]

If it's any consolation, I doubt anyone will be like forever.

[catchingflies]

[He's a street kid. He's not too bad at making sure he doesn't die, at least. He does, however, give Armand a dubious look.]

Ya think? How come?

[He's unaware of the kiddifying going on, too, pretty much only aware of his little group of friends going weird.]

[did_i_say_percy]

Some people are children, not just acting strange. [He bit his lip.] Mr. Stark thinks it's some weird time or dimension thing that may need to be mended, or it might mend itself.

[catchingflies]

Oh. Huh.

[That makes Todd perk up a little, at least, once he works out that this means his friends might not be weird (and mean) for forever.]

Well, hey. If anybody needs a Toad to help mend things, just point 'em my way, right?

[did_i_say_percy]

I will. I hope I cheered you up some. I am glad to see you again.

Familiar faces help when I am trying to get used to a new city.
