[ A thump is heard, followed by rubbing her head. She definitely looks a lot younger, and well...adorable. ]

Mama? Mama, where did you go? Ummm... Father? [ A moment of pause later... ] Huh, must be out doing stuff!

Well, I'm not alone, hopefully! Nurse-san? Nurse-san, I don't wanna play hide and go seek! Maybe we can play in the waiting room or somethin'!

...my clothes are big. Really big! [ She waves a sleeve in the air, then looks around. ]

I'm hungry. I want candy! Can I have candy? I want the really sweet one!

( OOC: Sooo. Hoshi remembers nothing of the Digital World, thinks Tailmon is a kitty, and believes she's in the hospital. Anyone's free to find her! )

Are you okay? Do you feel sick? Want me to call nurse-san?

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... Hoshi, how could you have forgotten me?!?! You literally saved me!!!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I did?

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

Y-yes! It wasn't even two months ago that you managed to get me to realize that I wasn't an evil pet of Myey!

How could you forget something like that?!?! It was literally you saving me after I kidnapped you!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...You're weird, stranger. Mama doesn't like me talking to strangers.

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... B-but we're not strangers, I swear!

W-what's going on that would cause this?!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Dunno.

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... How could...

Why...

*And now Pidonus is starting to cry on camera.*

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

H-Hey, don't cry... Wanna hug?

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... Erm... Erm...

I guess...

I'm just... How'd this happen? It wasn't even earlier today that...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Dunno.

Come on, I'll give you a hug! But be careful, 'kay? I got into an accident, so my back's sore, but... I'll be okay!

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... Wait, you're not at...

*Pidonus pauses, reading the posts.*

... I-I don't think I can go into Royal Base, Hoshi...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Noooo, not there. It looks like my family's royal temple.

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... Royal? I'm... I mean, nice, yes, the Onsen's great, but Royal?

*Pidonus blinks a few times... Offhandedly wondering where Hoshi's attendant spirits are.*

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm a princess, didn't you know?

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... I thought you'd become...

... Now it's starting to make sense.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Ah?

Getting it totally wrong again!

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

Someone drained your energy to shrink your form back several years, then cursed you into forgetting the intervening time!

Clearly, whoever's responsible is aiming to take advantage of the ensuing period of relative powerlessness to take over the Funbari Onsen!

... Damn it, that sounds like a plan I should've thought of...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

... Well of course you wouldn't be able to answer if I'm right or not! You're cursed into forgetting who cursed you after all!

... But whoever did it, they would've been nice enough to switch your clothes, I think. Complete the illusion... Or at least, that's what I would've done.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

You confused me.

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah.

It's very simple, really. The you I normally know is the 17-year-old lord of her village, a highly capable Shaman and martial artist... Who still needs to learn to accept that she has limits.

Nonetheless, someone that any villain in their right minds would be scared of.

So, they basically suck the age out of you, and then you're helpless to stop them!

... Is the idea.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...

I'm gonna hang up now. Maybe it's the good stuff that's s'posed to make me better talkin'.

[pidonus.livejournal.com]

...

Erm...

I'll visit soon... I'm sorry Hoshi!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Okay.
