@synthiser-crypton continuation.

Ienzo nods. He had thought this might be the case which was why he had grabbed some water and a snack for her earlier. "Here..." He hands her the plate first, setting the glass of water down beside her. The snack was just crackers and cheese. Light so that she could see how she felt first before having a larger meal if she were hungry, or skipping a meal entirely should she want to sleep instead.

"If you're tired... We can find you a place to sleep." A few already prepared rooms were now sitting empty after all.

@synthiser-crypton a continuation of this thread.

Ienzo shakes his head as they walked into the lab, senses quickly readjusting to the stale air and low light. There was no indication that Even was going to come back, or that he even planned to do so. "He never told us." His brows crease as an earlier feeling of distress crept up on him once more. Ienzo could vaguely remember searching Even's room for any kind of indication as to where he had went. Something they might have previously missed in the initial panic of the situation. He had found nothing.

"Dilan found them outside." Ienzo greets Aeleus. Zexion had been somewhat cold and stand-offish towards him in the end of their non existences, their relationship had been strained and for a while Ienzo thought that it might have been beyond repair. It had turned out that he had been wrong in such an assumption, but it was still difficult speaking with him like this. However, this wouldn't keep Ienzo from trying.

"I will be right back. I need to grab some tools." It was difficult to say exactly what he would need, but given how long ago it had felt since... Vexen and Zexion had last preformed maintenance on them, it was highly plausible that he should bring every thing. Just in case. A few updates couldn't hurt either. Ienzo is quickly taken over by his scientific curiosity. He begins to mull over these things as he heads to corner of the lab where the needed equipment was currently stored. The lab was in quite the state of disrepair when he and the other apprentices had woken up here, having been abandoned for as long as it had been. The first few weeks back had been spent cleaning and organizing. They still had work to do on it yet.

Ienzo stepped out of the gummi ship, instantly bewildered by the sight around him. He had heard of this place from Sora, but being here and scaled down to the size of a toy himself was very disorienting. Not too unlike having drank the shrink potion in Wonderland for the first time.

He stumbles, falling face first onto the soft surface of the ground. Or blankets as he understands them to be when he looks up to see the head board above him. Looking down at his hands he notices that he is even disguised as a toy, joints and screws holding him together. They make squeaking noises as he moved them, and were oddly stiff as well. This was quite unusual. Rarely did he ever find himself in disguise while on other worlds unless they were truly essential, such as in Atlantica, where it was necessary to breath underwater. Perhaps simply being scaled down was not enough of a disguise, or maybe something about this world brought this about-

He shrugs it off. It was time that he did what he had come here to do, which was personally explore this world to better understand it. And he should find out where exactly he was in this world, first.

He gets up and starts looking around, still in wonderment at the size of the area, presumably a child's room at that. Andy's room?

Ienzo sat by the fountain, quietly reading a book. He had been meant to take a break, but found that he was hardly able to sit down feeling restless out of seemingly nowhere. And... he had wanted to check up on how the rest of Radient Garden was fairing, given the work that the restoration committee was putting into it. The fountain itself had no running water yet, but was in the process of being cleaned and repaired. Everything about what had been done was rather impressive. If Ienzo wasn’t so unsure as to how the committee thought of him, he might have thanked them. It wasn’t nearly close to what he could barely remember of the garden all those years ago, but the effort alone made the world less like a hollow bastion and more like home again.

It wasn’t like he was reading anything work or study related anyways, the reading material was strictly fictional.

@synthiser-crypton continuing where we left off.

Ienzo shakes his head. "Yes, it doesn't seem so good." He backtracks upon realizing how un-reassuring that might have been. "But we will fix it."

He types, searching for the source of the issue.

He was bored and sitting in his room, ironically forced to take a break by none other than Even. It was over something along the lines of how he was too young to be spending so much time in the lab and at work. That it was concerning... Right, because they had been concerned when- How did Even even have the right to-

Ienzo groans in aggravation, setting the book he had been trying to read down. He lacked the focus needed to read it right now. That was when he heard a ping. He grabs the gummi phone sitting on his nightstand, turning on the screen to check the notification, anticipating an update from Sora.

Instead the notification is from kinstagram, it reads that it's Kairi's birthday today. Kairi... She was Sora's familiar friend, apparently from Radiant Garden herself, it was highly plausible that he had at least seen her if not known her. She certainly must have been around the castle to have known Braig, he had heard her asking around about him before.

He decides to call her, figuring that it couldn't hurt to wish her a happy birthday.

I have yard sale work today so I will be slow in replies. Like this post to remind me that I need to reply to you on tumblr or in the dms.

"That's a nice paint job you got going on there. I guess you're one of those game figurines I've been hearing so much about."

Zexion seems taken aback at first, not understanding the comment fully until he got a good look at the person speaking to him. A walking and speaking toy. Based on what he has just said to him, it was safe enough to assume that this was the norm for this world. So everything around him hadn't been scaled up so much as Zexion had become smaller. A similar trait to another world he had done recon in before. Fascinating.

"...Yes I am. Thank you."
