      I think you’re right, @hannahrenner’s world would give us more character development for Burn and Search and they haven’t had a chance to interact as much as the other characters since the groups just merged recently!

      (On the other hand, we might get more into Hades’ character in his world (Kk, I just wanna see Alessio trying to adopt fur-children, everybody needs a soft fluffy in their life XDD))

      But all the worlds would be really cool and useful!!!

       

      I guess I vote Burn’s world too!

        I don’t have an opinion on what world we go to. But it looks like @hannahrenner’s world has gotten the most votes, so I guess that’s where we’re going(?). Correct me if I’m wrong.

        Speaking of which, since I haven’t written any responses from Arsene, I’m going to say that he’s currently touching the evil pool.

          But Burn wanted to touch the evil pool first!  LOL

          Uh. Guess I came to the vote late. I really want to see @kimlikesart’s world.

            Oooh! *bouncies*
            Could everyone turn into their childhood bodies??? (And still remember everything that just’s happened???)
            That might be interesting… and might take away some of their fighting skills/force them to adapt… (Except for those with magical/ish abilities.)

                Ohhhh that would be glorious unmitigated chaos I love it!!!!

                Would they still all their adult responses or would they revert to their personalities as kids, pre-trauma? And would they remember everything from that’s happened or everything they experienced up to that age and everything that happened in the castle?

                 

                (Actually, 10-13 age Alessio was more skilled with a sword than a bow and could actually use his powers reasonably well! (he could also babble for hours and hours and hours questions, funfacts, ideas etc and waaaaaayyyyyy more impulsive (a feat considering how impulsive now-Alessio is XDD)))

                (Oh and that would be before any and all faith he might’ve had in Nathair was completely and utterly shattered so they might even interact less hostilely!)

                 

                Of course the absolute indignation all the characters would feel at having child-bodies and grown up instincts and memories and all the trauma would be just as chaotic and glorious!!

                  Hm… I’d vote for all the adult memories, and all the childhood personality quirks.

                    I know for a fact the Sherlock, now Sage, does not have any memories past his current age. Arsene is currently (that may or may not change. I don’t know) at his normal age.

                    As for turning everyone into children, your choice, but we need at least one person to remain the same so we can see how they manage children (to which I mean we have one person around who can try to keep everything under control).

                    The best candidates for that (depending on whether or not you want chaos or order) are Nathair, Nithel, (possibly Burn, but he’ll probably let them all do whatever they want) and Hades. Amazing choices aren’t they?

                      Heyyyyyy, if Nithel was a star and he fell to earth as a man this would be his first experience as a child right? 😁

                      Nithel is definitely the most sensible option. Not sure how they’d survive if Nathair was the only adult 🤣 Seeing Hades have to be responsible for everyone sounds glorious, and Burn would probably only barely keep everyone alive!

                       

                      I’ll go with Alessio being a kid and having all his memories. He’ll probably seize that chance to try and change his future (Not…really…successfully but it’ll be interesting to see!)

                        Cathy & Ragnarok- Nithel could remain the adult. 😄

                        Nithel also was never a child in human-form. (Though he was a baby/child, as a star.) The youngest he’s been as a human, in looks, is around 18.

                        I could make him go back to that point, and he could be the ‘adult’… around 7,000 years old. 😄

                        Cathy, Ragnarok. & Hannah- (How long do we want this to last? Ideally?)

                        Cathy- Oooh.

                          Lol that sounds great!!

                          (Now we will have a responsible adult yay our babies will liveee!!!)

                           

                          (How long do we want this to last? Ideally?)

                          Ideally, I’d say as long as they’re in Burn’s world. Kid-Alessio isn’t as scared of enclosed or underground spaces as adult-Alessio (“adult” 😌)

                           

                          Oooh.

                                  Hey, so Burn actually likes kids and would be a mother hen – but he has absolutely NO idea what is proper for children or not. He treats them like little adults with less life experience which is great! Until you factor in the shenanigans that he assumes are life experience! (Plus a few other issues like food and outfits and you honestly can extrapolate from this.) So, yeeeeeeeah. Basically lets them do what they want.

                                  If we’re going to Diplopia, then I do have the opportunity to introduce you to his ‘niece.’ [In quotes because not only is she adopted, but he is only sorta-friends to the man who adopted her. She decided he was uncle-shaped and no one has even tried to stop her.]

                                  I’m not sure I want to have Burn as a kid – there are a variety of reasons for this from rather reasonable to glorious-chaos-of-Burn-being-the-one-adult.

                                  But honestly, if we want to properly explore Diplopia, then Burn and Search should be adults. Maybe I’ll make them children in the next world?
