Welcome to Gaia! ::

Uh Oh, it looks like Deimos and Faris' powers have switched! Deimos can now earth bend, while Faris can turn invisible! Huh, looks like these Nutbars have really messed things up!

What Needs to be done:

• The Kids need to find each other first: Either the Nutbar drags them together, or they manage to pick the other out in a crowd, if they know who their mix up is with!
  
• Decision Time!: Do they want to keep their mixed up power, or do they want their original one back? Now's the time to decide! (You might want to get in contact with the other person for plotting purposes, just a hint!)
  
• If they decide to leave it as is: Their Guardians come back, the Metaplot ends for them.
  
• If they decide they want their original powers back: It's game time! The pair of you have to convince the nutbars to switch the powers back. Can you bribe them with words? Do the nutbars make them play games for their entertainment before they decide what they want to do? Does the kid try to beat the nutbar until it gives in? No matter how it is done (and remember, this must be roleplayed!) the success and failure of the endeavor depends on the roll of a dice. Like Mini Game #1, reserve a post with a 20 sided dice roll and fill in your post depending on what happened! Once BOTH Nutbars agree to switch out the powers they do so, the Guardians return, and the Metaplot ends.
  

Here's the general breakdown of success:

• 1-5: The Nutbar has no interest in helping.
  
• 6-15: The Nutbar is interested, but wants something first before it decides.
  
• 16-20: The Nutbar is not only interested, but agrees to do it!
  

Things to Remember

• Rolling a 1-15: You need to make another post, complete with another roll, to try and convince the Nutbar to do what you want it to do.
  
• The powers will NOT be switched until BOTH Nutbars agree to it. Meaning each Kid needs to convince their own!
  
• Once this RP is over, the Metaplot is finished. You may go back to your daily lives!
  
• The Metaplot in its entirety (New Skill Solo + Nutbar Kidnapping + Group RP + Mix up Fix) counts as one playdate towards the Growth requirements.

Deimos turned away from the scary looking gray creature that was refusing to leave him alone and turned his attention to the one that suddenly appeared the near to him when he wasn't paying attention. He gave a squeak and squeezed his eyes closed, expecting that useful power he'd had for a short time to save him by kicking into gear and making him vanish... no luck it would see as the girl was still talking to him. He couldn't have vanished if she was still talking. He was completely oblivious to the fact that the power that flared momentarily to life in him had only caused a nearby statuette made of rock to give a little twitch.

He opened one eye slowly, then the other, starring up at the girl once more as he tried to wrap his mind around what it was that she was saying. Something... about powers? Tradesies? He looked confused... his powers back? He'd lost them? He lifted his hands up to rub them against his teary eyes before giving a slight nod of his head in agreement, he did want his power back... it was useful for hiding from all the things that scared him in the world, of which there were many.

"Y-Yes... p-please." He said, having a hard time getting the words out as talking to strangers was in no way his forte but if it helped him to become invisible again he would do it, after that though he was going to disappear again until his parents came... if they came back that was a voice whispered in his head, causing a whole new round of tears.

They had to get help from the scary things he thought to himself, looking a the one that, despite his best attempts to chase it of wouldn't leave him alone. He lifted a hand to scrub it against his eyes, "Ahh... N-Need your help." He told the gray thing, struggling to do so as the thing was starring at him in a manner that made him worry it was thinking about eating him! Not that it was likely that it could eat him given the lack of its size... but his mind didn't work in that way. It didn't tell him how things couldn't work, it just filled his head with various, scary scenarios.

The nutbar starred at him for a long moment before giving its own huge grin, nodding rapidly, "Helpyouyesyes." It agreed, something that surprised Deimos to no end.

The boy starred at the creature before he lifted a hand up to rub his hands against his eyes, sniffling, "T-Thank... you." He whimpered before looking over Faris happily, glad that she was going to get her power back, whatever her power was exactly, and that he would be able to hide from scary things once again. Life was for at least this second in time made better.

Deimos watched what the first of those gray things did to the girl and for a moment he was looking more then a little dizzy, as though he might pass out at any moment when they went flying through the girl. That he was looking a little on the dazed side might have been a good thing though as the second creature started to do spirals around him before passing through him.

The sensation drew a cry of surprise from him and he flailed his arms in a pathetic manner as though to keep it from doing that again. After the pass through Deimos it flew over towards Faris next, "Yestradesiesyesyes!" At least they had both been readying and willing to help out the pair without the need of any sort of gift in return.

The boy seemed to break free of his dizzy feeling before he looked at the creature that was floating in front of him, "I... h-have it back?" He whispered to it curiously.

People were coming soon to get him? The idea was enough to get Deimos's power to pop into action as it was returned to him and he went instantly invisible as he tried to hide from the people that wanted to get him. What a frighten prospect and one that he hoped wouldn't come to pass if he were able to hide well enough... he glanced over to the girl who was making rocks dance for her and he found himself starring. Was... that her power? It wasn't to scary since the rocks were little he thought to himself, if they were bigger rocks that were dancing he likely would have been far more scared since big rocks had the ability to go around crushing people! He'd heard about it on the news, there things call rock slides where the sides of mountains just randomly fell off and ran things over.

He was trembling all over at the thought but he didn't think this girl was the cause of those things... was she? He hoped not since that would make her scarier then she already was with her big horns, those wings that looked pointy, not to mention her heavy looking tail... He lifted his hands up to rub at his eyes that were threatening to have tears fall again. He just wanted his parents to come back so that he could go to them, hide behind them, and not worry anyone because Daddy Reu was big and scary and would keep the bad things away!

So lost in his thoughts the boy misery and terrible thoughts and worries that he completely missed Faris explaining to him that their parents were going to be back soon... likely the one thing he wanted to hear most in the world and he hadn't heard a word of it.

A short time later, exhausted from his delivery of the strange pendant, Jiang arrived back at the shop and looked around to try to spot where Deimos had gotten himself off to, "Deimos!" He called out.

There was a flickering next to Faris as the toddler came back into view from his hiding out and he gave his first smile in some time as he pushed up on his little tail and hurried forward, wrapping himself around the kirin's legs and clung to him, eyes going watery as though he never though that he was going to get back!

Jiang gazed down on him then lowered a hand to ruffle his hair in a gentle manner, kneeling down to scoop the boy up into his arms, "Hello, Dei." He murmured, giving him a smile before he looked over at the little girl that he had been hanging out with... at least he thought that he was hanging out with her since he'd been near to her when he had appeared, "I thank you for looking out for my Deimos." He said, nodding to the girl and then again to the woman that was with her.

"Yes, lets hope the next meeting we have is more calm." Jiang replied, giving the pair a wave as they headed out. He snuggled his pink haired son before he looked around for Wynn and Reu, wondering if they had already headed out. He couldn't quite tell... Hrm... he looked down at his son, "We will wait in front of the shop for a little while and see if we see them as they leave."

After that he headed out of the door, giving a wave to people as he went and was happy when they were once more outside. Snuggled into his arms and wrapped in the long sleeves of his robes, Deimos had already seemed to have dozed off thoroughly exhausted from the little adventure.
