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. ]

I want my sword back too. And my age.

[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.]

It's sturdy, so don't worry. [Oddly, flower clothing here seems as strong as fabric clothing.

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?

[Orcelito is careful to stand up straight and return the nod – but no deeper than Kozmotis himself. He searches his memory for the name of that Tsar or group of knights. He hasn’t heard of either since coming to the Tree. (His memory is a bit scattered right now, though.) He regards the knight with respect, speaking in a smooth, articulate voice, even for a child.]

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?

[As Kit has not returned yet, Orcelito figures he’ll make their… guest… comfortable in the meantime. Have a charming smile and more of that sweet, polite manner.]

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.

[ Hm. This fellow really is different. Orcelito watches him closely, looking for signs of deception. So far, he has seemed… remarkably innocent. ]

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?

[Kit hadn't tried any of the wine, for obvious reasons. And just as well; it was doubtful anyone in the Tree wanted to deal with a Thunderan toddler.

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.))
alley_kit: (Default)

Works for me. :3

[personal profile] alley_kit 2015-07-31 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Kit readily handed over the leaf tunic- made from the dark-colored leaves of a plant Kit didn't recognize- but tilted her head curiously at the questions. Had that enchanted wine done something to Pitch's memory as well as his body?]

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.
alley_kit: (OK)

[personal profile] alley_kit 2015-08-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Kit, for her part, looked equally perplexed.]

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.

Ah, it's the boogeyman!

[ 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. ]

I see your memory has changed too. [ He says to himself, before turning back to the amber. ] Oh well! That does sound like quite the adventure doesn't it, charging naked through the forest until you get home?

[ 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.

Then it looks like your quest now is to find your way home! That sounds like most of the people here, actually. Good luck, Knight Boogeyman!

[ His appearance is familiar, but there is something wrong when he has some color on his cheeks. More than she used to see.

What did the tree do, she wonders, before speaking. ]


I do not believe that the children were the ones who stole your garments.
knight_king: (( as you say... ))

( amber )

[personal profile] knight_king 2015-08-01 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He is acting so strange. This is pretty bizarre. ]

There must be a green leaf tunic you can wear. All of us were given one when we arrived.
knight_king: (( ...uh ))

[personal profile] knight_king 2015-09-07 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Is it an important blade, there could be substitutes that Korra made that are still available. I have not looked if someone took them.
knight_king: (( obvious ))

( amber )

[personal profile] knight_king 2015-09-13 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
No, I do not think there is an appropriate substitute for the weapon you misplaced, but it is better than be completely disarmed.

[She wasn't actually planning on responding to this. Cynthia wasn't even planning on using her amber at all today. But she had heard a tiny commotion going on in her amber, and she was curious.

Of course, finding a half-naked man on there. Well...]


Dear arceus, put that away!
