3rd Nightmare || Deaging event
[ You might recognize those particular features, they do kind of stand out, but there's something very wrong here. Instead of ash grey skin it's nut brown. Instead of slim and shadowy it's solid and more heavily muscled. But the eyes, the eyes are still just as gold...if a little confused. ]
Alright, my armor I can see stealing, and selling off. That at least has some worth. But why in the name of the stars did you steal my clothes too?!
[ That's right kids. A very long time ago, before there was a Man in the Moon, a need for things like Guardians, and before fear took over a form of it's own and walked out into the world, there was a whole other story. This is not the broken general that became Pitch Black. More like the dumb knight that ended up in Kit and Orcelito's room naked because without shadowy powers he's got no clothes. At least Kit put a blanket over his naked bum. ]
I suppose I should be grateful my necklace was spared your pilfering, but leaving a man naked but for that is odd. At any rate I want my sword back. It's impossible to sell, so just give it back and I'll see to collecting the rest on my own.
[ And that's it. No threats. No tantrums. Not even grumbling. He's so nice about it, that it's hard to believe it's the same person. ]

Action
[A twelve-year-old Orcelito strolls into the room. His mumbled words are accompanied by a heavy sigh – yes, he drank Gil and Ruby’s enchanted wine too. At least he’s holding a poorly-sewn and oversized – but still adequate – tunic made of flower petals.]
I found this in our spare crafting room. I think it’ll fit you. [He still manages a smile as he offers the clothing to this gentleman with the golden eyes. Because, whoever you are, Pitch or not, your dignity should indeed be preserved.]
Action
[ Hey it saves Kozmotis being stuck in a mouse hide blanket for the duration. He's yet to ever take the locket on it's simple chain off so just turning around and pulling on the tunic ,which is actually not that oversized at all. Koz is very different from Pitch. Still poorly sewn, though. ]
Although I've never worn anything made out of petals before. I'm kind of worried I'll tear it.
Action
Now that this fellow is easier to look at, Orcelito gazes up at him with open curiosity.]
What did you say your name was, Sir?
Action
Sir Kozmotis Pitchner, star knight of Tsar Lunanoff's army.
[ Since we're not really sure about the customs and these wings are awkward have a little nod by way of bow. ]
...I know it's kind of a mouthful. Kozmo is fine.
Action
That is an impressive title, Sir Pitchner. I’m sure your Lord – ah Tsar – is most proud to have you in his service.
[This can’t really be Pitch though. The circumstances of his appearance were in line with Pitch’s custom of hiding under Kit’s bed, but clearly this man is different!]
If I may inquire, Sir, what is the last thing you remember before coming to consciousness in my home?
Action
I don't think the Tsar knows I exist [ Yet. ] but...uh...I must have been on some kind of survival training exercise? I'm not sure if I'm thinking of this one or the last one...
[ Kind of trailing off with a far off look on his face. Then a had comes up to rub at an eye. ]
Sorry kid, I can't actually remember when I had any good rack time.
[ Probably because it's been years? ]
Re: Action
I see. I’m afraid I don’t know the whereabouts of your equipment, but is there anything else you would like? I can get you a cup of water if you are thirsty.
[A pause as something occurs to him. It’s worth a try. He appears surprised, then somewhat abashed.] Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Orcelito.
Action
Well...I am wondering if wings are some kind of magical edition? Since I woke up with them and all.
[ His Gem is also on the back of his locket and he has had that on the entire time so they are in a way? ]
Action
Yes, they are magic – or seem to be. Everyone who comes here is given wings in the form of a gemstone.
[ Orcelito pushes up his left shirt sleeve. There’s a bracelet made of fur there, with a dark gem woven into it. He touches his fingers to the stone and a set of green wings comes into existence behind him. He beats them gently, just enough to stir the air and show that they do indeed work, before folding them against his back. ]
The wings are only present while touching the gem. [ To demonstrate, he takes his hand away and the wings vanish. ]
You must be wearing your own gem right now. [ He’s not wearing a bracelet, but there is that locket… ] Perhaps it is on your necklace?
Action also
Kit had left to go hunt for the spot where she knew Pitch kept his few possessions. it was shadowy and high up, but between wings and claws, not too difficult to get to, if one knew where to look. The leaf pack Pitch had gotten upon arrival was still there, luckily, as was his leaf tunic. Kit had been mildly concerned that it wouldn't fit, given that New Pitch was so much more muscular, but oddly enough it looked just about right when she pulled it out. Magic, she supposed. Go figure.
Fluttering down from the little alcove, she hurried back in to where she'd left her confused and naked friend.]
Pitch! I found you some clothes!
((OOC: Up to you whether he already has Orcelito's petal clothes or not.))
Lets go with after?
Well some extra, anyway. Thanks, kiddo.
[ Which are folded up and set down for now. ]
So I've got two questions for you. Whats your name, and how do you know me?
Works for me. :3
I'm Wily-Kit, but everyone calls me Kit. And I know you cause you're my friend; you said that people called you lots of things, but I always call you Pitch Black, or just Pitch.
no subject
If I had any idea of who you were that may explain a great deal more. But I am Kozmotis Pitchner, and I haven'.t the faintest idea what you mean miss Wily-Kit.
no subject
I guess... you really don't remember, huh? That's weird... Orcelito drank the enchanted wine too, and he remembers me just fine.
[Kit thought for a moment.]
...Ah, I know! Maybe if I tell you about the Pitch I know, it'll help jog your memory.
amber
[ Gil seems completely unsurprised by the big change, and why would he be? It's his potion. ]
I don't think there are any shops that buy things around here, so I'm not sure why anyone would want to take your stuff?
[ A point of frustration for Gil himself. He's ridiculously rich, but with nobody using gold for anything, he can hardly show off his ridiculous richness. ]
I can lend you a sword until you find yours again? If it's just a sword, I have more than could be needed.
[ Masterworks were great, but he doesn't actually care much about them. He wants his Noble Phantasms back. ]
amber
[ And Pitch really liked new and different wines too, you little jerk. ]
I have no idea why they'd want it, then. It's probably another of those "drop off the knights with weird supplies and see how long it takes them to come back" things.
[ Some never make it back, they just make that planet their home. Kozmotis made it back 5 times through 2 wars. So either they or he was doing something right. ]
And it's not just any old sword. It's a starlight sword, capable of cutting through the thickest darkness.
amber
[ For the record, Gil had nothing to do with the deaging wine. He provided the tools, but it was completely Magical Ruby's fault. ]
That does sound like a fine sword. I'd check if it was in my collection, but I don't have any of my true treasures right now.
amber
[ As said already, the potion affected him a little differently because simply turning back time enough to remove shadowy powers affected the mind as well as the body. After all it was a lot mor of the fearlingd ang nightnre men's influence that made the Pitgh thst Gil hsd first met. ]
amber
( amber )
What did the tree do, she wonders, before speaking. ]
I do not believe that the children were the ones who stole your garments.
( amber )
[ Have a cheeky grin, Saber. Yes Pitch will be livid that you are seeing this. ]
( amber )
There must be a green leaf tunic you can wear. All of us were given one when we arrived.
Backdated ( amber ) cuz WE DO WHAT WE WANT
That one cat-kid and her friend sorted me out. Now I just need to find my sword.

[ Welcome to Pitch Black when he was still Kozmotis Pitchner. And more than that, the bits of Kozmotis have become so jumbled that the nightmare men let go their hold enough for those jumbled bits to come back together. So when Pitch Black had time turned so far back, he literally became a different person.]
( amber )
amber;
Of course, finding a half-naked man on there. Well...]
Dear arceus, put that away!
Re: amber;
Put what away?! I've only got the blanket right now, and the rest is coming!
