it's over now

[likesthecoat]

Well.

That was . . .

Weird is too mild a word, don't you think?

I'm back to normal. Everything seems to be in working order. I remember everything.

The strangest part of it, I think, is how I remember it. Not like a slice of my life at twenty-six but like something that happened when I was five, something I remember from childhood even though I know it's impossible.

Did we ever hear what caused this? Is everybody else okay?

Yeah Q, you remember him right? he felt we all needed to regress to learn some things.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I think we had a brief chat at some point.

. . . learn what? That being a child is just as hard being an adult? I knew that.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

I'm not too sure what he exactly was aiming at. Public lynching maybe.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

It's probably a good thing none of us know where he is, then.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Though, for a little bit... it wa fun. When I was riding the ponies-- horses.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was a lot of fun.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

What did you get up to? Ianto Jones? *grins*

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

It was a very surreal experience, wasn't it?

Did you...like the experience, or not so much? For me, it was something I could have lived without, to be honest. But, I think there was some good that came out of it, if I was going to be fair.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Well, to be honest, I had a lot of fun once we figured out a translation device and I could talk to people.

What sort of good did you find in it?

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine how frustrating, and frightening, it would be to not be able to communicate with anyone - especially at the age of five! But, I'm glad to hear you had fun with it. Did you keep your adult memories, too?

**small smile** Well, I learned a lot about myself and how (some of) my friends see me. I was able to explain a few things to Sanzo as a child that I'd never been able to as an adult, so that's probably a good thing. It also gave me a chance to remember what I had been like as a child - truly remember - and not have the memories distorted and clouded by time. **grins** As I said, very surreal.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

No, my adult memories were pretty much gone. Though I figured out rather quickly I could trust Jack and Owen, so maybe something lingered.

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

Hm... That would have been an interesting experience to not have any memories of your adult self. I had my adult memories, and I'm not sure if that made it better or worse...

Interesting...or maybe you have always had a good sense of intuition?

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I did. Of course, at that point of my life I didn't know many people outside of my family and my immediate neighborhood, so I wasn't accustomed to mistrusting people.

(Yes, I had a very sheltered childhood. I'm aware of this.)

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

**smiles** I bet you were a cute kid, though...and if you were inherently trusting, probably not too shy, ne?

[rockscientist.livejournal.com]

Good to see you back to normal again.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's good to see you, too.

[Private to Lorne]

And your tongue.

[rockscientist.livejournal.com]

[Private to Ianto]

My tongue is very glad to see you too.

And I'm very glad to see you laughing.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

[Private to Lorne]

I've missed your tongue.

I'm laughing a lot today, really. Sheer amazement at the weirdness that is my life, perhaps.

[rockscientist.livejournal.com]

[Private to Ianto]

Have you, babe? I've missed your tongue too.

I know what you mean. I thought my life was crazy enough without adding in all the weird shit that's not related to work.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

[Private to Lorne]

Oh, I have.

But did you have fun? I actually had fun most of the time.

[rockscientist.livejournal.com]

[Private to Ianto]

Yeah, it was all right. There's really not a whole lot to do out here for kids though. And it's not like we can just run out to the store and pick up some games or something.

But I ate a lot of sugar and Heightmeyer gave me some finger paints. I don't think my quarters will ever be the same again.

[chefpiper.livejournal.com]

That was definitely an experience I could have lived without. Glad it's finally over and everyone's back to normal.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry it wasn't enjoyable for you.

[sparkingfreak.livejournal.com]

Glad you're back to normal gorgeous. As I learned to much horror, kids and coffee don't mix- would not wish years of coffee lackage on you! The whole thing kinda sucked though... never want to repeat it again. Planning on finding a way to lynch Q if it's at all possible....

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Oh god no, coffee should be kept away from kids. It can cause brain damage if they have too much caffeine--it's the over-stimulation.

I didn't think it sucked, though. I had fun.
