AGE-DOWN MEME

[devoutish]

Inspired by this and this! Post top levels of your characters as they were when they were younger - it's up to you whether that means "when they were a kid", "six months ago", or something in between. Then tag around, either throwing kids together or throwing normally-aged current CR at people in order to "????" about how their friend/enemy/casual acquaintance is suddenly bitty.

It means I'm used to it, yeah? Don't you know how cold it gets in Russia?

[bywolves]

I don't, no, because I don't know what Russia is. Assuming it's a cold place. Doesn't matter. You can be used to it. Still won't stop you from being dead from the cold.

[babygangster]

[Alfie snorts.]

Everybody knows where Russia is. You aren't very smart.

[bywolves]

Russia does not exist where I'm from. [ Wow. ] Russia is on Earth, I assume. I'm not from Earth.

[babygangster]

I'm supposed to believe that fairy story?

[bywolves]

You're suddenly in a strange town with endless snow without any sort of idea how you got here, but you draw the line at not believing I'm not from Earth?

[babygangster]

I'm from the moon. Do you believe me?

[bywolves]

No, because I know you're from Earth. If I didn't know that, I'd ask you which one.

[babygangster]

You don't know anything about me but my name, and what you think you know.

[bywolves]

[ SIGHS. ] I'm not going to argue with you, brat. I could tell you what's going on here, but you won't believe me. There's no point when you're already inclined to think I'm an idiot.

[babygangster]

I'd believe you if you were a trustworthy person, and you're not. You're fucking not.

[bywolves]

No, I'm not. What exactly are you trying to prove to me, here? [ This is why Royce doesn't try to be nice. ] You're tough. I get it. You're not afraid of me. Is that what you're looking for?

[babygangster]

You're the one who started this.

[bywolves]

I warned you against taking my matches, and you threw a fit.

[babygangster]

You can't threaten to cut off a man's fingers without making him angry!

[bywolves]

Don't get angry. Just don't steal the damn matches and we have no problem.

[babygangster]

Don't cut off my fingers and I won't cut off your face.

[bywolves]

I'm not planning on cutting off your fingers, unless you steal my matches. How hard is this to understand?

[babygangster]

I understand fine, you idiot, but if you're giving a warning to me I'm giving one back to you. Not my fucking fault if you thought I'd just sit there and take it.

[bywolves]

I expected a warning back. What I didn't expect was you to be so hung up on the fact that I won't let you order me around.

Be less of a brat. It's good for your health.

[babygangster]

You're angry because I did the same thing back to you.

And I told you, I don't want your lousy matches. Get out of my house, now.

[bywolves]

Not your house. [ He's not moving. He's also got his letter opener ready. Is he really going to fight a twelve year old. Signs point to yes. ]

[babygangster]

It is my house. I'm giving you one last chance. Go.

[bywolves]

[ This is a matter of pride. Royce doesn't really want to give Alfie the satisfaction but he also doesn't want to stab the kid to death.

He's reasonably sure he can subdue Alfie should the kid attack him. So he doesn't move. ]

[babygangster]

[And Alfie lunges, aiming to put his scalpel tight against Royce's throat.]
