soreplaceable[It was late last night when Ion was taken from the village, and it had been done so quietly it might have been impossible to know he was gone if his bedding hadn't been thrown around the room.]
[But he wasn't gone for very long, as it's less than a day later that Ion returns to the village sometime in the early evening. At a glance, he might just be mistaken for another new feather: he's sitting on the ground near the plaza, wearing those same white new feather pants with a somewhat confused look on his face. But to those who know him well, they might also notice his hair looks a few inches shorter than usual.]
[He isn't doing much, likely because he doesn't know what he should do. What does one do after they've just been born? Should someone walk by, he'll turn his head to stare at them, but he won't say anything.]
(( ooc: Since I've wanted to do this since forever and finally have the time: Ion is going to be de-aged (from 15~ to 12) for a little while! Although Ion has technically gone back to being a "newborn", Fon Master replicas were born with most of their basic functions rather than as a blank slate, so he'll eventually be able to talk and walk once he realizes what those functions are. He'll start out a little slow, but he's a very quick learner! Just don't expect him to know what anything is at first. |Db ))

Date: 2011-05-14 12:42 am (UTC)Io--Fon Master?!
[Dist bites his lip, furious that his first reaction was that of deep concern for the boy, and approaches with a hastened pace. When had he been taken? Did the others know? Was he all right? He looked disoriented. Dist stops in front of Ion and looks him over. He looked unharmed...]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 12:46 am (UTC)[And technically, he hasn't.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 12:53 am (UTC)So, this is how those worms entertained themselves, was it? Despicable...]
Fon Master. ...Ion. Ion, can you understand me?
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 01:00 am (UTC)...uh. [He flinches a little, as if not expecting a sound to have come from his own lips.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 01:59 am (UTC)What an annoyance. Those damned 'scientists' were truly out to get under Dist's skin in the worst possible ways.]
Yes, you can speak. You are called Ion, and I am Dist. Can you also stand?
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 02:11 am (UTC)[...can he stand? That one was a question. But it's not one he knows the answer to, seeing as he isn't sure what "stand" means.]
[So Dist gets another blank stare.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 02:36 am (UTC)He holds Ion steady, taking a tentative step with him.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 02:48 am (UTC)[Walking? Not quite so much. He isn't sure what Dist expects him to do at first and ends up stumbling, reaching out and clinging to Dist's arm to keep from falling over.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 03:11 am (UTC)But again, he couldn't leave him here, so he takes another slow, calculated step.]
Steady now...
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 03:21 am (UTC)[Whatever it was they were doing, at least. Was this "standing"...?]
[He took a slow step, shifting his weight to one leg as he lifted the other for another step. It was slow moving, certainly, but the more steps he took, the more steady he became.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 03:51 am (UTC)That's what he hoped for, at least. Dist cracked a smile, despite himself, as Ion progressed, and then it was gone a second later. Rrgh, stupid emotions! Stupid Malnosso, putting him in this situation, curse them for every thing that they did to him!]
...Good. Keep walking.
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-14 04:06 am (UTC)[Eventually he gets to a point where he doesn't need too much support to keep walking. But that doesn't stop him from at least keeping a grip on Dist's sleeve, just for the reassurance that he wouldn't hit the ground if he tripped again.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-15 10:06 pm (UTC)Regardless, he takes Ion back toward house one. It should take long, the central plaza was relatively close to his old home.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-15 10:13 pm (UTC)[But none of that shows on his face, as he remains neutral even when they arrive. He didn't know what the place he was in before was, and he certainly doesn't know what this place was.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-15 10:27 pm (UTC)Slow-going as their journey was, Dist sighed and knocked his knuckles on the door to house one when they finally arrive. Good grief...that took far too long than usual. But whatever, he's going to give Ion back to Nephry now, at last. Give him to her and leave, that was his plan.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 02:08 am (UTC)...You're all right.
[that half-sigh of absolute relief, accompanied by a smile, could easily be for either of them.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 02:12 am (UTC)[But when he sees Nephry, his expression turns to one of curiousity.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 02:57 am (UTC)Oh, yes...physically, perhaps. [He'd have to run a few tests to make sure of that. Heaven knows that the Malnosso could and would do more than alter Ion's "age". If he was unstable as well...] He's been altered, Nephry. I have reason to believe he was de-aged to moments after his creation.
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:01 am (UTC)Come inside.
[no. Arguments.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:04 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:11 am (UTC)lacing a hand gently on Ion's back, the man ushers him inside with a small command.]
In.
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:13 am (UTC)Then she will pull Dist aside, to the other side of the room, and try to keep her voice down]
What exactly does this mean?
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:18 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:30 am (UTC)As he's take away, he sighs, and pushes up his glasses as he glances back at Ion. Time for a good old fonic researcher explanation.]
Exactly as I stated. Ion was, I believe, de-aged by the Malnosso to the point just after his creation. I can't be certain, as I wasn't involved in the replication of the original Ion, but he seems capable of basic speech and, though somewhat limited, he is capable of understanding certain commands. The intellect and knowledge is there, presumably by a delicately placed programming, but untapped. It'll take some time to teach him, but he's not completely incompetent. He will need care, however, which I know you can provide, Nephry.
[Action]
Date: 2011-05-16 03:38 am (UTC)...How did you get him to follow you?
