[FILTERED AWAY FROM IB]

[There's a slight clearing of the throat, and Garry starts speaking, sounding a bit more serious than usual:]

I, erm...I just wanted to let everyone know something. Recently, a person came in from my world here. Her name is Ib and she's a little girl, nine years old, with red eyes and long brown hair. Some of you have met her already, so you probably know what a really cute, nice girl she is...really brave, too!

[And a slight sigh.] However, despite that, she is here without her parents. I'll be looking after her, but I just want to say that I hope all of you do the same as well...the last thing I want for her is to be scared, alright? She just came from a place which was rather terrifying, and I would know! So the last thing I would want is for things to be repeated here.

So...if you see her around, please be nice to her. If you're not, though...[And his voice grows a bit stern- he MEANS this.] I'll have to have a word with you myself, you hear...?

[And then a long pause, before:]

Hey, does anyone know what they're going to be wearing to the May Day event tomorrow? I haven't decided yet...


ACTION FOR TERRERE TOWER

[If you're just passing by on one of the floors, you might see Garry's room door open, and what seems to be a couple of voices coming from the interior. Peer inside, and you'll see Garry standing in front of a little girl, Ib, holding up a garish blue outfit in his hand to show her what it looks like.]

[He seems quite surprised, based on his tone.]

You don't think that looks good? No? [And he glances at the really strange ensemble he's holding, before looking back at her.] Really??? But I thought...oh, well, if you say so, then I guess this isn't the one...

[Care to interrupt to see what this is all about?]

[OOC: For the action part, both Garry and Ib (bravelittlegirl) will be tagging! Just to let you know. :)]

Ted?

[A long pause.]

From your...future? I don't think I've ever met him, no...

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh. Well, he's here. He's been here a while, too. He's a good kid.

[thehangedrose]

That's good! Is he like your little brother or...wait, if he's from the future...

[A long pause.]

He's not actually your kid, is he?

[whichwayyoulean]

Given that I spend the rest of my life up until my seventies or eighties completely alone, no. He's just a kid who comes to find me. His grandmother remembers me, apparently.
