[It was a crash of thunder and lightning that first woke him up. It was also that crash of thunder and lightning that told Saphir that he was definitely not where he should be. It never rained in Keterburg, just snowed almost constantly. He'd never really experienced anything like a lightning storm before either, so needless to say he's very terrified by the booming sounds above, and the streaks of lightning as they flash overhead. Each one makes him jump, and choke out a loud gasp and cry.

Not only that, but he's horribly dressed for this weather and shivering pretty badly. Was this some kind of prank or something?! Peony was always pulling pranks on him, and making Jade do it, too! Jade would never do anything like this if Peony didn't instigate it in the first place. He was Saphir's best friend, after all! But still, Jade and Peony couldn't have taken him to some place other than Keterburg or, at the very least, the harbor. There was just no way, and the Professor would never allow it. Something was clearly not right about the place he now found himself in...

Thankfully, though now soggy and rather wet, there was an odd book of sorts next to him when he woke up. It even had his name on it, though the language was strange...different from the usual fonic language he knew, and even ancient Ispanian that the Professor taught in some of her lessons. Still, the book was some kind of fontech device, and the young boy clung desperately to it, as if it were his only lifeline as he puttered through the village plaza, huddling in a nook between some of the shops. He curled up there, shivering, scared, and confused.]

J-Jade... [He sniffled, a whine quickly dissolving into quiet sobs.] P-Professor? Where...where are you?! I-I don't know where I am! Peony, i-if this is a joke, i-it's not funny! I-I'll tell the Professor, I'll--! J-Jade...uuh...

[OOC: So basically, Dist is his tiny, cute, and snuffly kid self. He's just nine years old, quite a crybaby, but pretty decent compared to his older self. He'll probably be small for at most two weeks, probably. All tags will be from

minifontaku, as well. |Db]

[It's some time later that Saphir actually replies. He was most certainly going to stay with Gelda, and had thus changed and dried off. When he's finally peeking back into the journal, he doesn't recognize this voice.]

Yeah, I'm okay now that the Professor showed up. ...Who're you?

[Ion's relieved when he finally hears a reply back.]

I'm glad to hear it. [He smiles.] My name is Ion... I'm a friend of Jade and Nephry. Would you mind telling me your name?

[A friend of Jade and Nephry? Who wasn't him or Peony? Huh, he'd have to ask Nephry about it later.]

My name is Saphir.

[...m-moe.] It's nice to meet you, Saphir.

You didn't get too wet outside, did you? I'd hate to see someone catch a cold in this weather.

[Hm, well, at least people around here have good manners. Though with all these people talking to him over the book and in person...it's strange. Not a lot of people usually spoke to him.]

It's nice, um, to meet you, too... [Even if it wasn't in person.] I got really wet, but the Professor took me to get new clothes, then I went to her friends' house and took a bath, then we had supper at her other friends' house.

[The Professor has a lot of friends. :|a]
