008//Action\\Central Plaza

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[In the plaza, near the Coral, there can be seen a rarely spotted Szayel Aporro Granz and, with him, there's a child around 13 years old. The boy is wearing a large, oversized black shirt that looks almost like a dress with the sleeves rolled up hastily, though they keep falling down. Szayel looks more bored than anything else and waits nearby with his arms crossed and quiet chatter can be heard between them. The brown-haired child keeps both of his small hands on the Coral for the time being.]

It doesn't appear to be working.

Your powers of observation are truly astounding. You humans never cease to amaze.

I'd like to inquire as to why you have a machine with that capability in the first place.

That's not its purpose, you just used it incorrectly and it has unpredictable side effects.

Well, I suppose there's the off chance it will wear off.

[There was a slight scoff before Szayel gave a shrug and a small smirk. The young Jade looked back at him when he spoke.]

If you want to take that chance, be my guest."

{OOC: Open post for Video/Voice/Action/whathaveyou! Jade is Blue, Szayel is <font color="CC127F>Pink</font>. Either or Both might reply to posts! For the forseen future, Jade is about 13 years old with his memories intact!}

[...Woah, okay. Apparently Jade was afraid of this person? Hard to imagine that idiot being afraid of...]

[...or was it he was afraid to be seen by this person...?]

[...it takes a conscious effort to keep himself from smiling.]

Are you a friend of his?

Action

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Yes, and I have far too much to do without his interruptions.

[No telling what Peony will do when Jade's small.

Action

[scienceshow]

Excellent.

[Szayel stepped aside, reaching down to rest his hands on Jade's shoulders... and giving him a little push toward Peony.]

Go ahead. Take him.

[...What Peony does is just kind of stop. Bafflement on his features, mixed with such... a high degree of amusement that he's just not sure how to handle it. It's just that first... He can hear you, Jade, even if you're hiding and even if he only gets there at the tail end of all that.]

Jade...?

[He looks to the pink haired man after that. Szayel stepping aside at least gives him more reason to try and not burst out laughing, brows knit together and lips pressed in a tight but sharply arced line. Oh. Oh this is something he hasn't seen in years.]

So, about all that old age catching up--I guess that's a thing of the past, now.

[Jade pushed back against Szayel, little as it did. He turned to grouse at the pink-haired man, but just sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose instead. He's just gonna wait for you to stop giggling with his hands in his pockets.]
