BabyBlues-Adventures ofa particularly adventurous baby(open)

[Bastille Amtrum]

Rubble and debris littered the ground. Broken glass was everywhere and pieces of rusted metal poked from every which corner. The streets were not a place for those unable to defend themselves, least of all.....a baby.




How Aryanna had managed to abscond from her mothers careful watch. But it had only taken a minute, and now here she was...crawling her tiny little butt around the town.

So tiny, she might even go unnoticed, but for a baby she was having a ripe old time being free. Truth be told her mother usually didn't leave her for a second and if she did, it was because it was daddy's turn and daddy was even more careful. Daddy was fun though.

Aryannas bright green eyes roamed over the landscape and she let out a small squee of excited giggles before gurgling her way over to a lump of rocks and working her tiny hands onto ways to climb it.

Yes, this baby was alone. Yes, this baby was enjoying ever second of it.

Mother of the year over here was freaking out. She'd gone to wash her hands for two minutes. God in heaven THIS WAS OUTRAGEOUS. A deep tingling motion had set into her body as she clutched to Evelyn like she was the rope holding her to the cliff face. Usually she could keep her calm...usually...this was not a problem...but for some odd reason, and for the first time in a long time

the fear of god had set into her bones.

"where is your sister Evelyn....."


[[OOC -- feel free to post in finding the baby, but be warned. She's a handful]]

[David B.]

He crouched, eyes on the tiny baby that seemed to be tracking a way to get up a large stone. David reached out and would put his hands under the childs arms, lifting her a little before bringing her over and holding her to a hip.

"Hey, little one. Where is your mommy, huh?"

He noticed the dark green eyes and his own narrowed. This child seemed...familiar to him. He bounced her a little but gave a king smile.

"Lets try and find her, shall we? Hmm?"

He started walking the direction the baby had come from, hoping to find a parental figure.

[Bastille Amtrum]

{ooc---- David would find her....T.T Bastille is never going to live this down]


Aryanna reached for the stone with all her baby might, wanting to climb not be held. It was such frustration that she began to cry, the tears welling up in her eyes and then....oh look.... dark hair. Aryanna liked boys better than girls- girls seemed to like to pinch her cheeks or coddle her till she was so smothered she felt like ....well she didn't know what it felt like other than it wasn't comfortable.

With wide eyes she grunted a few angry huffs at the new boy before tugging at his shirt harshly. She wanted down! She wanted freedom- and she was going to-...

Oh shiny. The first shiny object he could possibly be wearing caught her eye and suddenly she was reaching for it eagerly. Her legs were kicking away the whole time.

"ohh...ahh...mahhh"

-----------------------------------

Bastille was debating on calling Mathew. Her heart was skipping every other beat and really, she thought she was having a heart attack.

"no no no no no no no no no" she was chanting as she gripped Evelyn and walked about town- .....in the opposite direction in which David and Aryanna were.

[Kyrie Blaze]

. o O ( Yessssss, someone posteddddd~ )

By Bastille's side was an equally anxious and worried Kyrie, though she had no baby to hold.

Which was the entire problem.

Bastille had two daughters and - neverminding the fact they were Bastille and Mathew's children - she was only a baby. The shadow manipulator's eyes sought around, rapidly, keeping calm despite her pale countenance and too-wide blue eyes that spoke of her inner emotions. She had only arrived a minute and fourty seconds too late--completely missing the rambunctious baby's foray into the great wide world.

And now she was in the same boat as Bastille.

"I...am going to split off from you. She can not have gotten too far."

Her heart gave a hard squeeze, making her want to gasp. Because the thought - the irrational yet completely rational worry - was that Aryanna had possibly been taken. Without trying to assume, the petite blonde was certainly ready to move heaven and earth if that was the case. She immediately turned right and began to run, the missing baby's name passing between her lips - "Aryanna..!" - as she continued to scan along the ground, looking for openings in buildings or anywhere else a small baby could have gotten herself into.

[Bastille Amtrum]

Bastille was completely distracted. She had seen Kiyr, she'd recognized her and understood that she would take the other direction- but it was a haze of foggy memory under the weight of- HOLY CRAP MY DAUGHTER IT MISSING. Bastille didn't know what to do, where to start. If Aryanna got even the least bit hurt she was going to murder half the planet in exchange.... She had almost died bringing those girl into the world, it could f**king die for taking them away.

[David B.]

David grinned as the child reached for his necklace, pulling on it and playing with it- whatever kept the child distracted was fine by me. He walked, less than an eighth of a mile behind Bastille, stopping a person or two and asking if they knew whose child this was- nothing but shaken heads. He sighed, and watched her a moment.

"Well...as your an ugly little thing...maybe I should start thinking of which parents are yours. Kazuya, perhaps, but you don't have the features. You could definitely be Mathews- you two look alike. Unfortunately I have no freaking clue where he is. Lets grab a little food and talk it over, shall we?"

He grinned at his own jokes nobody heard and switched her to the other hip, heading for the shopping area to grab a bite to eat- and walking past the street Kiyr was on. She might see him...she might not, as it was a child she was intently focused on...

[Bastille Amtrum]

Aryanna didn't seem very excited that she couldn't get the necklace off his neck. She tugged harshly at it and began to whine. Instead of crying she her irritated whining just got more and more gurgly. Eventually she grew too frustrated and went back to trying to exit his arms- deciding that the necklace was not good enough to be in her presence. Seeing people made her curious and she was always intent on switching arms and exploring faces. Her tiny hands would reach up, intent on touching.

When David talked about eating, she didn't seem to understand and instead was trying to crawl further up his shoulder to pull on that funny oval object attached to the side of his face. Everyone seemed to have them, but what the heck were they anyway?!

[Kyrie Blaze]

Oh, the blonde certainly saw David, but with Aryanna perched on his opposite hip she didn't stop her search. Her gaze fell before the child tried clambering up David's side. Oh God where was she?

The blonde continued her running search."A-Aryanna where are you?"

[David B.]

David took the childs hand as it reached up, messing with his ear, and blew a raspberry on it. Leaning back after, giving an over-amplified look of shock at his own noise, he played like he wasnt sure what happened, intent on getting a giggle from this child of mischief. He would slowly lean back in before shooting his lips back to her hand and blowing another raspberry there. He would chuckle at it before his ears quirked. He heard...someone familiar. Looking in the opposite direction as Kiyr, he frowned, the shrugged and kept on walking, now leaving the street behind and heading up town.

"If only you had a collar or something....being that you don't, I guess, confirms you can't be Mathew and Bastilles. They like to mark their property."

He smiled down at the baby.

"But goodness, how great it would be to see the look on her face when she saw me with you. I'd verbally blister her hide..."

[Bastille Amtrum]

Bastille got further and further away from what she considered a safe zone and began to find herself increasingly more inclined towards helpless sobbing. But, and in an irritated manner, she ignored this suddenly emotional inclination in favor of jumping to the heights. In the sky she gazed down upon the town, looking with her sniper training....but there were almost too many people from their angle. Oh god, what if,..no- no....no thinking just looking. Aryanna Amtrum, where the hell are you?! Her mind screamed at her. That child was going to get duck taped to her crib later.

She jumped from building to building, racing around streets and frantically looking.....she didn't want to start asking around, because it might alert the wrong people. But what other choice did she have?

---------------------------

Aryanna's eyes would light, and she would giggle loudly, pushing her hand towards Davids lips in hopes of him doing it again and catching the source of that sound. She wanted to hold it.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Nope. Nope. Nope nopenope!

This wasn't working. Two people couldn't hope to find a needle in a haystack. And while she hoped David would find Bastille in her own time, it was no cause to not get his help. So she tore down the street and turned in the direction she last saw him heading, calling out--

"David, I need your help to look for--"

[David B.]

David obliged the child, blowing a raspberry into her hand again. He turned, however, at the sound of the familiar voice, Aryanna on his opposite side and mostly hidden for a moment. He turned fully when he saw it was Kiyr and raised his eyebrows, slightly worried at her sense of urgency.

"Kiyr...you okay?"

[Kyrie Blaze]

She would catch up in a few moments, having not been close enough to hear the raspberry. And being that his body was still turned in such a way that the infant was hidden from view, it wouldn't stop her from continuing on.

Only with him turning towards her...she caught sight of the infant in his arms and her expression went from one of anxious worry to shock.

"Ar-Aryanna..?" Could it really be that easy? Kyrie turned wide-eyes up to meet David's and she stepped forwards the rest of the way, having faltered in slowing down once he turned. Her hands twitched and then were held out in a questioning manner, her thoughts only centered on finding the Amtrum baby that she was hoping against hope, right now, that this infant in his arms was Aryanna. "Is that..? Can I see..?"

[Bastille Amtrum]

Aryanna was still pushing her tiny hand towards Davids mouth, completely ignorant of Kiyr. She clamped at his collar and at the necklace again getting a bit distracted at the shiny object. Her green eyes would finally flicker up to Kiyr and she stared at her with a blank expression.

[David B.]

David eyebrows went up as she seemed so shocked at the baby he was holding. He uttered a "yeah...sure" before handing the child over. He had no idea what was going on...so he asked rather politely.

"Uh...Kiyr...Shes not...yours, is she?"

Well...with the way she seemed to be acting...
