Toy Land .OPEN.

[High's .Valentine.]

Welcome to Toy Land, where your childhood dreams remain vivid and lively. Where the adults who wished to escape their life's prison resort to. Where everyone is...a kid.

"Aw...fuck."

Tiny fangs bared into a snarl as he scratched at the eyepatch, removing the red bandana from his head. He can see. Clearly out of two yellow eyes. A bandaid covered his scar and his ponytail was gone. In fact, his hair was as black as night. His body was springy and light.

It was youth.

"Yah, it's great, but I didn't want this much of it..." he held up his two small hands and stared at his chubby boyish legs. He wouldn't be able to do anything with this body size.

Number two squinted and felt an aching for something sweet.

"Xigbar?" a small black cloacked figure asked in a voice that should have been deep but was instead shrill and squeaky. The figure pulled back the hood and revealed... Short silvery-white hair, and slightly paler than usual skin. His hair was slicked to the side in a manner befitting a small child, but not the former leader of Organization XIII. He was a shrimp, to say the least.

"I see you have been changed as well." Taking note of that, he walked over to rejoin his former friend. He hoped that the Nobody was still his ally, even though the former Organization had crumbled. It wasn't like the child could do anything about it, now. But neither could Xemnas do much.

[LEO LION]

She felt strange, shorter than usual, and a little on the pudgy side. She glanced at the world around her, it seemed childish – but that was an understatement. When she looked down she saw black, shiny, buckle shoes, long white stockings, and a preciously frilly dress. It almost made her sick… and when had her hair been tied back into one long braid?!

Large yellow eyes gazed at the young hands, the thought of the one she’d killed flashed into her mind, but her body was in a time before that had happened. Blood stained hands had returned to the past, before they’d been stained, her body didn’t recognize the trauma it had been through again. Fat tears welled up in her eyes but she quickly wiped them away and held them back, now was not the time to think of such things, she would much rather figure out exactly where she was.

[Fate]

Okay... what in the world was this? The world had either grown a whole lot bigger all of a sudden, or Akira had shrunken. Looking at her hands confirmed it was the latter; she was now her six year old self. Her hair was longer, going down to the middle of her back; this was before she cut it. Her eyes changed into the clear, innocent ones of her youth. She was a small girl now, a lot shorter than she was before.

This... made no sense. Her mind was now going in a million different directions. Her eyes traveled to two other "children" on the scene, ones she did not recognize. Should she talk to them? Her usual distrusting of others said no, but there wasn't much else to do. They might know something. She shyly walked up to them.

"Any idea what's going on?" Her formal tone sounded so odd in the mouth of a child, but this was what she had to work with.

[Magius]

"Uhhh, what happened" Iatros gowned as he opened his eyes and got up of the floor. he must of passed out, but he didn't remember what had happened before he got here. He rebreed walking threw Radiant Garden, and now he was in some other world. he knew it had to be another world because radiant garden didn't look this childish...or big.

"I swear if I'm missing an organ or some thing I'll...."

His voice trailed of as he realized something. His voice was higher pitched, like that of a kid. He also noticed that he felt smaller, like he shrunk or something along those lines. He looked down to confirm something worse. He wasn't just smaller, he was younger, he looked liked he did when he was 8 years old. He had a skinny lean frame and short messy brown hair. “Well this can’t be good” he said to no-one in particular.

[Xiggy]

"Candy would be swell right now..." little seven year old Xigbar stuck out his tongue in unhappiness. Pulling on his shorts, his small sneakers tapped when he jumped around at an equally high pitched voice.

"...Xemmy?" What followed was a peal of childish giggles, finger pointing and...more giggles. "LOOKIT YOU! HAHAHA, YOU LOOK SO FWUUUUUNNY!"

Immediately he clapped his mouth shut. Fwunny? How the heck did that slipped out of his mouth? Why? Well...might be because he's missing a front tooth. At this realization, Xigbar's tongue slipped through the gap in his row of fangs. "...Gnarly!"

"So uh, we all used to be nice civilized adults here, yah? Or are you all snot nosed brats to begin with?" Xigbar turned towards the others who had popped up, smiling mischievously at the group.

[LEO LION]

Akane regarded the others with curiosity, there were many of them… five she had to count on her fingers – when had she forgotten how to count? She raised a hand to pay with the tabby-cat ear on her head, orange and much larger than she remembered it being, behind her a short tail swayed back and forth bashfully. “I dunno what happened… and I’m not a wittlle bwat!” Her hands clasped surprised over her mouth. Today was just too weird.

[Magius]

Iatros looked over at the kid who had shouted at them, and then at the other kids there. it appears he wasn't the only one who had been turned into a kid. He was also pleasantly surprised to note that he was the tallest, being about 5 feet tall. He also assumed he was the oldest, now at least. Who knows how old some of the other had been?

"Nope, I survived puberty with the best of em', so I don't know why I'm a kid now. And who are you calling a brat short stuff?” he said in his now child-like voice.

[Xiggy]

Xigbar looked up at the other kid who had snapped at him, and sneered. Finally, his body seemed to compliment his mentality. The kid looked like a trouble maker, tough a bit on the short, scrawny side.

"Oy, shrimp, where's your mama, huh? Shouldn't you be snuggled in your little carriage right now? Want me to get you a chew toy?" Cackling, Xigbar hopped around. The others might be distraught, but the little devil sure was enjoying it.

"Oooh, I'm so scared. The big stupid giant's gonna beat me up~" Xigbar would have continued, but something seemed to have attracted him.

"Ya kids smell that?" He looked around, sniffing the air with an intrigued expression. "...smells like...smells...hell, smells like CANDY! Awesome!" And with that, he turned and ran towards the woods. "First one there gets the whole stash!"

[LEO LION]

She bared her fangs at Xigbar, taking an offensive stance, she was about to pounce on the brat when he paused and started smelling the air. A surprised look crossed Akane’s face as he dashed off. The childish thought of a race came into her mind, she love competitions like this, she charged forward, on all fours. “I’ll make you eat those words!!!” And she glanced over her shoulder at the tallest of them all, “You coming or what?!” It was like kindergarten, being friends at first site, nothing mattered else matter, except maybe candy.

[Magius]

Iatros blinked a couple of times at the cat girl before grinning and taking of after them. His long legs adding more distance to each step. He caught up to the girl quickly enough, but they were still behind the brat with the gap in his teeth. "He turned to the girl running next to him with a confident and excited smile on his face.

"Come on, I know we can beat Gap-tooth to the candy." he then started to run a little fast. Normally, stuff like this wasn't his style, not anymore. But he figured that if he was stuck as a kid for now, he may as well enjoy it. After all, you only get to be a kid once.

[Xiggy]

As an adult, Xigbar might be the fastest nobody, right after his zappy cohort, Larxene. Now as a child, he found his ability to move fast had been cut short. Much to his disadvantage, he was a head shorter the giant, and his scrawny legs didn't hold much power in them. Regardless, the daredevil was a fast little brat. He sped down the barely made out path of the forest, his animal-like nose leading the way, all the while his two eyes scanned over the environment with such excitement that he might as well not be a nobody.

It's been so long since he viewed the world with two eyes. And such colors, such vividness! The trees of Toy Land seemed like something out of a fairy tale. Gnarly and bent and ancient with magic. How much he wanted to climb those trees.

The path took a turn, and if the two followed right after him, they might find themselves surprised by the sudden disappearance of their gap tooth friend.

[LEO LION]

“Let’s get him!!” Akane dashed forward, her hands and feet drumming against the ground, kicking up dirt, within moments she was neck and neck with the stick child, keeping stride with him almost perfecting, falling behind once or twice. But then he was gone. She skidded to a stop, glancing around for the kid, and when she caught site of the turn she followed after, having lost a few feet.

[Magius]

Iatros nodded his head at the girl’s enthusiasm, and answered her with a grin. He almost missed the turn the kid took but was able to make it by kicking off the trunk of a tree and leaping off in the direction gap-tooth went. He hit the ground running and almost stumbled, but gained his footing and continued on. Now he was neck and neck with gap-tooth, and was slowly pulling ahead. He felt bad that he had left the little cat girl in the dust, but silently promised that he would share the candy with her if he won.

[Xiggy]

The big kid might have pulled ahead and Xigbar stared disappointingly as more and more of his back came into view. Well, this can't do.

With that, he tackled the bigger kid. Sprung like a monkey and grabbed onto his shoulders. The momentum was enough to send the two flying face first into the dirt road.

Xigbar tumbled from the older kid, rolling into a stop with his back flat on the ground.

"That...hurt...!" he started whining. He sat up and spat at him. "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO WIN."
