sixth ★; [ action! ]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Kirby was just taking a nap when he woke up, feeling kind of... weird.

Everything felt smaller, somehow. The bed he was sleeping in didn't feel as gigantic, and neither did anything else, now that he thought about it. He tried to right himself to hop off, but instead found himself kind of doing an awkward front roll and falling off of his bed. ]

Poooooyo!

[ Finally, he got it when he saw his awkward eight-year-old limbs around him. He was one of the humans? Well. After the initial confusion, he calmed down quickly. Because why not? It was a pretty okay loss compared to what others went through.

Although the former puff is used to hopping down the stairs... so down he goes! Holding the railing with both hands, he awkwardly starts hopping down to the lobby, looking really, really weird. Feel free to run into this puff-turned-human jumping down, slipping, but thankfully holding onto the railing to right himself every time. ]

[she's trotting through the lobby and. Well. How odd.]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Eventually he looks down, nearly on the last step, and his face brightens in recognition. ]

Poyo, Luna! [ he calls, lifting one hand from the rail to wave. ]

[doublethefun]

[ooooh]

Greetings, Kabii. Can I assume that this is, in fact, a loss?

[chubbycreampuff]

[ He nods before concentrating on hopping down the last step. ] Poyo!

[ And he'll kinda just sit on the floor. He's not used to being tall, even if he is short by human standards. ]

[soccerwhisperer]

[He just turned the corner with a soccer ball. Watch out!]

Whoa!

[doublethefun]

[a smile] At least thou dost not seem particularly concerned.

[chubbycreampuff]

[ He nods again. Being human wasn't too bad, he supposed! After all, it wasn't like he had become a monster or anything. ]

Poyo poyo! [ he stretches his arm up in the air, as if motioning to how much taller he was. ]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Kirby flails in shock, eyes widening. ]

P-Poyo?! [ Cue him falling backwards onto his butt. ]

[doublethefun]

Thou wilt certainly have less trouble rifling through the taller cupboards. [though didn't he used to float? Maybe he'll have more trouble.]

Art thou still a black hole when it comes to food?

[3_butterflies]

[Seeing him on the railing, but not recognizing him yet - ]

Oh, no! Please be careful!

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Kirby considers this, before realizing, for the first time, he didn't feel the same gnawing hunger he always did as a puff. He shrugs, looking thoughtful. How would he eat? ]

... Poyo...

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Still gripping tightly onto the railing, he looks to her and smiles. It was one of his drawing buddies! Cue him taking one hand off the rail to wave. ]

Ffffl... Flutter...shy, poyo! [ he calls ]

[3_butterflies]

[A few blinks - that voice, those words...]

Kabii...? Is that you?

[doublethefun]

[well, okay.

Hmm. What now? What does one do with a puff turned human? Maybe she'll just watch?]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ He nods, still beaming at her. ]

Poyo!

[ He kind of hangs off the rail like a little kid would. ]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ And watch she shall! Kirby's decided now might be a good time to take a crash course in Eating 101 for Humans. He wishes up a cookie and crams it into his mouth, unaware that he was going to choke by doing this.

And choke he does. ]

...!

[ he starts coughing and hacking, trying to get some air. ]

[3_butterflies]

[She gulps, and tries to fly over to him.]

Y-You should get down from there, new body or not!

[soccerwhisperer]

I'm sorry! Are you okay!? [he gives him a hand to pull him up]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ He nods after getting over the initial shock, slooowly stretching out his arm to take his hand. ]

Poyo-okay! [ he assures him, giving him a smile. ]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Her sort of scolding and her getting nearer makes him stop swinging and he just kind of hangs there, smiling sheepishly. ]

P-poyo. [ Admittedly, he's kind of afraid to put his feet down. ]

[doublethefun]

[alsdkjfalsK oh god is there a pony equivalent of the Heimlich maneuver???

...okay she slaps him on the back with a wing. Hopefully not too hard.]

[3_butterflies]

[She pouts a little, and then hovers below him a little.]

Here... climb on my back, and I
ll get you down safely.

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Thankfully, that kind of helps and he coughs out a large piece of cookie. His eyes water as he forces himself to swallow the small piece that was left, coughing still after and taking deep breaths. ]

... poyo... [ he gasps out gratefully. Okay, so that wasn't the best of ideas. He needed to learn what teeth were all about and fast. ]

[doublethefun]

[a sigh of relief]

Thou shouldst chew afore swallowing.

[chubbycreampuff]

Poyo!

[ Kirby nods, very carefully letting go of the railing until only the tips of his fingers are still hanging on. He looks down to make sure she's below him before letting go. ]
