Personal Log #10 - [Action/Accidental Video] A return to innocence...

[spohkh]

[Spock blinks awake... but then shuts his eyes again as the wave of disorientation hits him. People and events crowd into his mind in no logical order... leaving gaping holes in his memories.

Logically, he can safely assume that something has happened to him. He's hurt, alone... and his normally eidetic memory is off... Indeed, something has definitely happened to him.

Opening his eyes once more, he takes in his surroundings... his tiny hand reaches out and takes the journal that is laying innocently beside him.
It's a familiar book, almost as if it's from a distant memory... but he cannot remember how or why it's here... or where he is for that matter. But he does recognize these trees... He's definitely been here before.
Opening the journal's pages, he doesn't realize that he has activated the 'video'... Anyone who is listening in will see the bruised face of an eight year old boy... with a familiar bowl cut, slanted eyebrows, and pointed ears.
Spock stares at the book for awhile, trying hard to place it within his memory... then shuts it. Standing, and fighting off another wave of disorientation... Spock makes his way slowly towards civilization.]



ooc: Meet 8 year old Spock, who is lost and confused as to where he is. If your CR with him is strong enough, he may recognize you, and recall some events... he just won't recall everything clearly. All answers to posts will be coming from my other account: spohkh_kan
Feel free to bump into Spock as he wandering aimlessly around town, trying to find his way home.. or at least a familiar face. If he does find a familiar face, expect him to tag along like a duckling.
Also, feel free to grab Spock's attention through the journal, he will be very inquisitive about the entire phenomenon. Cheers m'dears! ^_^

I'm afraid I don't know what that is.

[But it seems logically sensible. Robin wishes she could introduce him to cotton candy]

Do you know how to make it?

[spohkh_kan]

Hmm... I do not.

[Spock blinked for a moment.... where was his mother? His mother was the one who made him soup...

...why wasn't she here?]

I am certain whatever you make will be fine.... Robin.

[toujoursfluer]

How do you feel about icecream?

[she could make him that at least. Or put it in a bowl and decorate it for him. It's a pity Marcchan is...unsheathed still or she'd invite him over and watch him flutter around this tiny Spocklet like a mother hen. ]

[spohkh_kan]

I do not feel anything on the matter...

....what is icecream?

[Spock looked up at Robin curiously.]

[toujoursfluer]

[A faint sigh. He hasn't changed too much has he? But she'll answer his question with a question. If he must have logic, he might as well use it]

What does it sound like?

[spohkh_kan]

Cream that has been frozen?

Why would I want that?

[Spock is fully relaxed against this strange lady... he wonders why this is.

Robin, enjoy it while you can.]

[toujoursfluer]

[she will enjoy every second]

Perhaps it will be delicious. [though she wonders] Unless you don't like sweet things, because then we'll have to think of something else. [she's not entirely sure what but they are near the house then and she supposes she will figure it out when they get there]

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock blinks up at Robin...]

I do not have much experience with 'sweet' things. It will be like an experiment, yes?
My mother used to hide chocolate from me... I never understood why she never let me try it.

[toujoursfluer]

Who knows? Perhaps you're allergic and would shrivel up and die like a pill bug. [But she says this lightly they are at the house and a hand appears on the door to twist the knob and open it]

But the icecream we have is mint flavored, so I'm fairly certain you'll be all right.

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock watches the hands that seem to be an extension of Robin... a rather curious ability.

However... he didn't question it because he felt as though he knew about it already. Either way, he trusted the woman wholly.]

This is your home yes? Does anyone else live here?

[toujoursfluer]

Mm. Sanji and Vivi. [she sets Spock down at the threshold and guides him to the kitchen, getting out two bowls and glasses]

Would you care to set the table, Spock-chan? [she regards him for a moment] Who do you stay with?

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock nods and moves to comply, taking the dishes and putting them out on the table....]

I... am uncertain.

I...


[Spock scrunches up his forehead, trying to remember who it is he stays with.]
Normally it is with my parents.. but I do not believe that this is true right now...
[Spock recalls blond hair and blue eyes.... ]

[toujoursfluer]

No perhaps not. [she gets out the ice cream and milk. Ferrying the milk over to the table with a series of hands]

Pour that for me?

And don't worry. After we eat, I'll find where you belong.

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock does as she asks... but his mind is deep in thought.

Does he belong anywhere? His peers at school were convinced that he did not. Did he belong here?

...Surely he must have a place...]

[toujoursfluer]

[Robin is bringing the ice cream to the table when she notices he doesn't seem...quite here. Is there something wrong, perhaps? She sets the ice cream down and feathers a hand through his hair]

Spock-chan?

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock looked up at Robin...]

My apologies... it would seem that I was... lost in thought.

[toujoursfluer]

What were you thinking about? [and she gives him the ice cream scoop so that he can start to dole it out, however much he wants]

[spohkh_kan]

um...

[Spock blushed... Vulcan's do not speak of such things.]
I do not wish to burden you with my troubled thoughts.

[Honestly.... what eight year old speaks like this..]

[toujoursfluer]

It's not a burden. Friends should share thoughts, ne? And I wish to help if I can.

[she sits at the table and watches him]

Though you'd better start serving before it melts, ne?

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock quickly took out two large scoops of the icecream... and gives the container back to Robin.

Sitting down... he regards it for a moment...]

I... Have thoughts. Of not belonging. Vulcans are supposed to have control of their emotions, but I cannot help but feel...
...that I do not belong.

[toujoursfluer]

Many feel that way. [She scoops up some ice cream for herself and ferries it back to the freezer]

I felt it for a long time when I was your age and for much after. But belonging is something everyone wishes for.

But I wonder, what does belonging mean to you? What must happen until you feel you belong?

[spohkh_kan]

Acceptance.

To be accepted for who I am.
[Spock lifted up his spoon... and gingerly lifted up a small morsel of ice-cream to his lips.
The small Vulcan couldn't help but shiver as the coldness pressed against his mouth... but his expression changed...becoming almost lighter than it was before.]

This is... most satisfactory.

[toujoursfluer]

I accept you. More than that, we are friends. Marcchan, too, ne. And I'm sure many others.

[She smiles at his appreciation for the ice cream. Ara It was so cute and all she wanted to do was to squish that face between her hands.]

It is good, isn't it? Don't forget to drink your milk.

[spohkh_kan]

[Spock blinks at her... almost in shock.
Then, making a decision... he stands and takes his bowl, and sits himself right beside Robin.

He doesn't really hug, but this is as close as he would get for now.
He started eating the icecream once more.... silent, though his mind was a very happy place.]

[toujoursfluer]

[She smiles and briefly hugs his shoulder. She wonders if he will remember this once he grows. Perhaps... either way, she'll remember]

Is it good?
