[The new curse has resulted in the Villa gaining one (1) formidable-looking resident Responsible Adult(TM), a nine-foot tall being shrouded in a full-length black cloak and cowl, his face obliterated by mask in the shape of a characature of a skull (as depicted).
Behold, Vatheon, the visage of your new Death Personified, the identity of whom is only revealed when he at last speaks, raising two hands out of his cloak to clap them, twice.]
All right, children! It's the beginning of a new week, and I trust you all know what that means--
[For those who know him, this is Death the Kid, all "grown up". By his recollection, he's been kicking around for hundreds of years, and Death City, the place of his birth, is a distant and fond memory.]
--It's time for our field trip to the coral!
[And it seems he's taken to caring for a Villa full of young children like a fish to water. The apple, it appears, didn't fall far from his father's proverbial tree.]
Line up single file in the foyer, please. If we're done early, we can all have hot chocolate in the Plaza. Don't be late, punctuality is a virtue second only to cleanliness!
[ooc; open to action threads, too, both in the villa and around the bubble.]

[...]
A-Are you the monster that ate my mommy and daddy? Did they tell you about them? B-Because I want them back!
[Video]
That's ridiculous, I would never eat anyone or anything that has a soul!
On the contrary, we are here because we must wait. Until that moment we can return to the people and places we know.
[And sometimes, you may end up waiting a rather long time indeed.]
That said, that's no excuse for not using the time afforded us here to enjoy ourselves and expand our own learning, is it?
[Video]
[Shift awkwardly over here]
Do you know if we can go back home? I...I really miss them and Cheren and Hilbert too...
...B-But what are we going to learn here? Everything looks so scary and we're underwater too...
[Video]
[But!]
...To answer your question, you will absolutely go home! It's simply a matter of waiting until you leave. It's like a surprise gift, one you'll likely never see coming!
In the meantime, there's plenty to learn here for those with the mind to seek it out, and you may feel free to explore without fear. After all, I won't let any of you come to harm.
[Video]
Then what can we learn about here? How will we find a way out sooner? It seems really frustrating to just wait and then you'll go home!
A-And what if we never do? [SNIFF] I-I don't want to go back when I'm really old! That'll mean when I go back, no one will know who I am!
[Video]
That's right, it can get very frustrating. [BOY WOULD HE KNOW] But it also can be a fulfilling and fun time!
[Even if sometimes he thinks the best times of his life in the bubble were roughly... two centuries ago.]
You can trust that you will get home someday, and you'll be just the way you remember yourself.
[Video]
But...it's still scary to be living here all by yourself...without my parents or my friends here...
That's just so weird, you can be the same as you were when you get back home! You just remember what you remember when you get home! That just can't happen like that!
[:T]
[Video]
[Oh please, Kid, you're a Death god hamming it up for a child.]
Oh, I know! Maybe that's something you're meant to learn. 'Bravery'! In which case, I know just the girl you should meet.
[Video]
[But she is starting to calm down some...]
Are you going to take me to her? If you are...then...don't bring any other monsters with you!
[Video]
[And adding this unhelpfully:]
Don't worry, Bianca. We haven't had a monster attack in eight months!
[Video]
[How strange that a shy 4 year old little girl would turn out to be one of the most social and hyperactive teens ever
Also why Kid, why?]
E-Eight months?! T-That's still pretty bad! Ooohhh, I don't like it here! Not at all!
