3rd Nightmare || Deaging event

[isolophobia]

[ 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.]

Action also

[alley_kit]

[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.))

amber

[kingpika]

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. ]

( amber )

[knight_king]

[ 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.

amber;

[anelegantmyth]

[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!
