MCA Lobby, Saturday

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

Surely there were plenty of things Zayne could be doing right now to take care of the place a little bit. But screw that, he was playing with blocks. He wasn't even sure what exactly he was building, but it sure was big. He was using the Force to place blocks on the other side of the lobby as he was fixing the sections of wall that went down when he used the Force to place blocks on this side.

Blocks were astral.

Welcome to your first bout of weird, Audrey!

Still shrugging on a jacket as she came down to the lobby, intending to go out and run some errands, she spotted the boy. And what he was doing. At least she was less wide-eyed than she had been the first time she'd seen telekinesis.

"Hey there," she said. "What're you making?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Dunno. A building, I think," Zayne answered. "Want to help?"

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

Uh. "I guess I can for a while," she said, "but it looks like you're much better at it than me."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Not really. I keep having to fix stuff I knock down," Zayne mused. "But then I get to build something new!"

Always the optimist.

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

"That's the best part about blocks," Audrey grinned. "Do you live here?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Yep! Right there," Zayne said, pointing at #0. "I own the place!"

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

Beat.

"So... your dad's Zayne?" Which seemed really weird, considering she wouldn't have thought Zayne old enough to have a kid, yet alone one this age.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"No, my dad is Arvan," Zayne said, laughing. What a silly question. "I'm Zayne!"

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

"You're Zayne," she repeated. She decided to roll with this, because it'd served her so well till now. "Sorry, you look a little different than usual."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I know!" Zayne said. He looked around quickly, then walked closer to Audrey before whispering, "My braid is gone. Don't tell anyone. Please?"

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

"I won't say a word," she promised very seriously.

This is what happened when she decided she was bored yesterday.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" Zayne said, picking up some blocks and holding them out for Audrey to take. "Just put them wherever. The Force is designing the building."

No, it wasn't. Zayne was just making block walls at random. No Force there.

[also-audrey.livejournal.com]

"Does it matter that I don't, um. Know what the Force is, really?" she asked, taking the blocks from him.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Nope! But wherever you put the blocks, that's where the Force wanted it," Zayne said.

It might seem like Zayne was suggesting that the Force was just a way to explain any random placement of things that might happen.

...

Audrey put one of the blocks down in a random place, and nodded. "Yeah, okay, I see what you mean."

No, she didn't. Seriously, rolling with it.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"It's okay, I don't really get it either," Zayne confessed.

Jon wandered downstairs around lunch time, intending on heading over to the diner, when he say the kid in the lobby. And then he grinned.

"So, who are you? And who do you belong to?"

Hey, it was a totally legitimate question in Fandom!

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I'm Zayne, and I don't belong to anyone," Zayne said. "I wanna be a Jedi though."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so it's one of those weekends," Jon replied, laughing. "I think you'l make Jedi someday. You seem to be doing a good job with the blocks."

He was silently thanking every god of Daniel's that he hadn't been turned into a kid.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"They keep falling, but I keep picking them back up!" Zayne said. FAILURE MEANT NOTHING.

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Good. Just pay attention to how they're falling, that may help you stop them from falling again."

Hey, he knew the guy had it figured out, when he was older. He was just helping a Jedi meltdown from happening.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"They fall like this," Zayne said, laughing as he pushed a wall of blocks down. "I can't stop gravity." Well, technically, yes he could. But still.

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Really? Then how are you picking them up without touching them?" Jon asked, trying not to look smug.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"By concentrating really hard," Zayne said. "But gravity still works."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"So, fight gravity? Stick them against the wall?" Hey, cheating was always an option.

Seven-year-old Tyrion dragged himself up the stairs, carrying a book far too heavy for him. In other words, nothing terribly unusual was happening -- though he was rather shorter than usual.

"There's no one to help me dress in my rooms," he reported. "What are you doing?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Building something," Zayne said. "Wanna help?"

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"If I can," Tyrion said, with the suspicion of one who usually got left out of other children's games. "How come they're floating?"
