Who: Gojyo and you
Where: All over!
When: During the Retrospect flood
What: De-aged versions of Gojyo
Warnings: A little kid being hungover in the first prompt (I am a horrible person). Implied past child abuse in the first and second prompt. Violence and underage drinking likely in the third prompt. ETA: a bit into the first thread with Armand, there's thoughts on taking advantage of a minor and suicidal ideation.


I. For Hakkai and Jedao:

The night before had involved enough drinks that the prospect of walking all the way back to his own cabin had seemed too bothersome.

The Gojyo that wakes up in Hakkai and Jedao's guest room the next morning is nine years old, and he can't remember the last time he woke up in a proper bed. He can't remember lying down in a proper bed the night before. Where is this--? He sits up abruptly, throwing the covers off and scrambling to get down.

He barely has time to reach the floor before the headache hits, like it's about to split his skull. His legs shake to the point that Gojyo crumbles to the floor with a whimper.


II.

Gojyo at nine years old should be easily recognisable by anyone who knows him: the crimson hair and eyes are the same; his hair pulled up in a ponytail. His clothes are worn and due for a washing; he has some cuts and bruises (but nothing quite as bad as before he got thrown out on the streets), and the scars on his left cheek stand out even more on his small face: a starker colour, less healed-over than they will be in adulthood.

He does his best to stay out of sight. Snatching a morsel of food where he can (the dining hall being a free-for-all sounds like an obvious trap, after all), and always on the look-out for anything he can turn into a makeshift weapon.

Most likely, he'll be less skittish around other kids than adults.


III.

At other times, Gojyo is fifteen years old; tall and lanky with chin-length crimson hair partially pulled back in a ponytail. He's put on a considerable amount of muscle in the last few years, and his clothes are cleaner.

He woke up in a cabin that had an entire drawer stuffed to the brim with cigarette packs - he's fucking RICH! This is great, assuming he doesn't stop to consider what is even going on here, which he won't. Gojyo's modus operandi is that he doesn't think, which works just great for him.

He's delighted to discover that he has access to the Lounge and will happily flirt with any pretty girl around his age. If you are a teenager or adult (not a little kid) who looks like an especially bully-able nerd, however... Gojyo might just approach you, grinning widely.

"Hey~"

Which sounds really friendly and all, but somehow alarm bells are probably still going off?
