[The sound of the journal could be heard hitting the ground. Following it was the sounds of a worried five year old turtle tot. He sounded worried, but curious as he looked around the room with hammocks that he was in.]

Hello? Raphie? Mikey? Donnie? Sensei? [Silence] Hello? Hello?

[His voice at that point was barely a whisper. But what would follow was a soft whimper. Another one was then heard until several could be heard, none of which were held back. From where he was, the five year ld turtle curled up, hugging his knees as he buried his teary eyes into them, trying to keep quiet and failing.]

[Maribelle is one of the many people on these oceans that has found themselves turned into a child, but she is one of the few who was quite literate at such a young age... well at least as far as this little lady is concerned.]

Dear Diary,

[Her handwriting is impeccable, but it seems she has the habit of saying ever single thing she writes out loud in her child like voice that is so similar to the one she normally has.]

I think I may have been kidnapped by pirates! I've never met a pirate before so I don't know really, but they're everything I think a pirate would look like... and there's the smell of disgusting fish in the air, and the sea, and I know that my homeland is landlocked! I wish I knew what to do, but I'm worried that my father will be terribly cross, and worse yet I think trying to escape on my own may be too dangerous. Later, I must remember to write out some plans to help me escape or I may be trapped here forever!

[With a melodramatic sigh and a few scribbling doodles of pirates being hung, Maribelle finishes her 'diary' entry with her signature.]



[OOC: Responses will come from little_belle and as you may have guessed, Maribelle has been turned into a kid, but only has her memories up to the point of age 7 or so.]

[he's hiding in a barrel. Secretly hiding in a barrel where no one can find him and he's heard other kids talk through the book thingy so:]


ACE! SABO! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY PIRATES! WHAT DO I DO?!!



[ooc: replies will come from rubber_kid

[ Her voice was weak. She had just woken up after a split second of searing pain to her side coupled with...the screaming of children? What?

Her pokemon were already outside trying to do damage control. They had left her cabin door wide open so she could witness first hand what exactly as going on. But since the pain was keeping her from getting out of bed. She decided to address the guys via her journal.

Though it would help knowing what was happening with the rest of the world as well.]

Guys...? I hear children screaming on board. Did...urgh...did something happen? Is everyone alright out there? Come on guys, no messing around. You all know I can't get up. Guys? Hello?

I know I just got here and everything, but...

[Yeah. That happened.]

Anyone know how long this is gonna last?

[For those on the ship with her, they may notice that instead of a green lizard, they know have... an ordinary woman. The truth is, it's actually Mona Lisa. Aside from the voice and hair, it's actually a pretty big change. Though the pink hairtie and short scarf might be enough of a giveaway.

After avoiding a clothing emergency, she's now walking through the ship, looking at her hands and touching her face.

She can't stop smiling.]
