Today was just super awesome, like every day! Sun shining, everything bright, people everywhere…. It was just grand. Kaylin had spent the last hour or two just enjoying the park. The children that frequented the place liked the energetic meister for the most part. While the parents weren’t always thrilled with the sporadic teen filling their kids’ heads with random shenanigans, the lack of focus from the young woman certainly kept younger ones entertained. Between jump rope with her whip, tag with whoever would join (and many people who hadn’t meant to join…), hopscotch, and many other wonderful games, Kaylin’s last activity had been playing in the large sandbox. She had become a wretched sand monster, ready to take down village after village! In order to protect their villages, the children tried whatever tactics they could to hold her back. Dragging off Kaylin’s legs, jumping on top of her, or normal things like building walls. Laughter was prevalent wherever Kaylin was today. That made it a good day. Children were fun to play with. They were always smiling and they always had new ideas. Kaylin’s nature of not being able to pay attention was only countered by the young imaginations surrounding her. They couldn’t stay on one straight path either! But sand time was coming to a close. Some going off to play something else, others having to go home, and some just not wanting the rambunctiousness then. The sandmonster died a most convincing death. Writhing into the sand that was its home and cemetery. A few last giggles from both the kids and Kaylin as she ceased movement. Well.. for that brief moment she didn’t move. Then, as quick as she could start playing a new game, the girl was up on her feet, waving to the kids, and taking off across the park. Towards the sports fields! For the moment, they seemed mostly deserted. One of the baseball fields was occupied with a small group of people playing and some watching. A scattered few on one soccer field. But the remaining few baseball, soccer, and open fields seemed deserted. Obviously, Kaylin noticed very little of this. Her attention was on a specific soccer goal, one with a bright neon green ribbon tied in the middle of the top post. Once she had caught that color in her eye, she had upped her pace and sprinted towards the goal. Coming at it from behind, she climbed the netting clumsily, but happily. Grinning like no other, she finally swung her legs over the other end of the top post. Sitting atop the goal, hands between her legs fiddling with the green ribbon. Was she… resting?

Alistair wasn't precisely sure how he'd ended up here. He buried his face in the mostly useless map his sister had given him that looked like it had been drawn by a small child who lacked any sort of skill in drawing. "I'm almost certain that this is a playground." He checked the map again. Turning it every single way it could be turned. "It was left here...Right? Wait no...Right here left...Wait?" he mumbled to himself, trying to make sense of the scrawling in front of him. After staring it down in the hope that it would give him some sort of information, he gave up and stuffed it back in his pocket. "I swear, next time I see her I'm going to kill Holly..." he grumbled.
Alistair began looking around at his surroundings, partly just to take in the sights but partly to see if he could find anyone that could give him directions. He saw a load of little children running around and he assumed that the parents wouldn't be all to pleased if he began running around asking everyone for directions, plus he was never very good with kids, he always felt like they knew something he didn't.
His eyes soon fell upon another person who looked roughly his age...sitting on a goal post. "What are they doing?" He asked himself, unable to determine from the distance he was standing at. As he eventually made his way over he saw that the person, who he assumed to be a girl. Was busy fiddling around with something. Unconciously, he grew nervous and began playing around with his hands. 'Please don't be...odd.' he prayed silently to himself, before walking closer and clearing his throat. "Uhm, uh...hello? I'm a little lost, I could use some directions." He soon began to think starting a conversation like that was a bit rude, so he quickly followed it up with. "Uh...do you like football?" It was a weak conversation starter, but he wasn't sure what else to say to the girl atop the goal.

Green ribbon time was over as quickly as it began. The fiddling moved to brushing. Brushing herself off to be more precise. Sand always gets EVERYWHERE! Giggling to herself as she brushed her arms off, balancing easily on the post she sat on. Getting her hands into her hair, she shook them violently through her short locks and allowed grains of sand to escape her head and flutter to the ground or be carried off as small specks in the wind!
What was that?
Jumping to her feet, for a moment she looked like she might fall straight forward off and to the ground. But not Kaylin! Her footing regaining itself, she was looking down at the post at something. Something that had made noise. Something that had… talked? And this something just happened to be a hat. Such a cute little hat~ Since when did they talk?
Audibly gasping, the girl’s glee instantly multiplied by about seven hundred. Looking like light, smiles, glitter, and fireworks might erupt from her at any moment, the little meister bounced on the fronts of her feet and waved her arms up and down like she was doing jumping jacks. A talking hat was so NEAT!
And that’s when she jumped. Right off the top of the goal, Kaylin hit the ground just in front of it. She wasted no time between her landing and her next motions though. For next, she rushed the talking hat. Also known as Alistair Brood. The widest grin he had likely ever seen coming straight for him, no one could blame the kid if he melted into a puddle. Depending on Alistair’s reaction time and general shock from the girl, Kaylin would attempt to snag the hat right from his head. Like he wasn’t even there.
Regardless of whether she got the hat or not, she would indeed notice that there was a person there after her attempted grabbing. Eyes widening ever so slightly, one could tell that she just focused on him.
“Oh hi!”
That was all she said. The girl hadn’t heard a word he said. In fact, she didn’t even notice him approach her. Too oblivious to have a care in the world, first thing she noticed was the talking hat. And it was likely she wasn't going to say more to him right away.

The girl stopped what she had been doing, apparently having achieved her goal of...whatever it was she was trying to do, however it appeared she had either not heard, or not paid attention to anything Alistair had said. He cleared his throat to speak again when all of a sudden, before he'd had a chance to utter a syllable. The girl had run past him and his hat had vanished from his head. He looked around in every direction before his eyes came to rest on the strange girl who was now in possession of his headwear. Apparently she had only just now noticed him, as she gave a casual greeting as if she hadn't just stolen his hat.
"Well...uh, hello?" he uttered cautiously, the British in his accent shining strongly. It was clear the girl had not paid attention to anything he had said prior to her dismounting the goal. He was relieved at this however, as it meant she had not heard his pathetic excuse for a conversation starter, which he was still kicking himself over.
Recovering his smile and looking at the girl (who had still not given back his hat) he calmly said to her "I'm...a little lost, do you think you could give me some directions?"

Talking Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Grinning still, the odd little meister was full of glee over successfully gaining possession of the item she so longed for! At least for these previous few seconds. Hat in both hands, even though she had just said hi to Alistair, Kaylin was now staring at the hat. Turning it side to side, looking under it, looking on top.
But it didn’t talk.
Her smile dimmed a small bit, though nowhere near disappeared from her face, a bit of confusion started mixing into the girl’s joyous expression. She certainly didn’t understand why it wasn’t speaking to her. Was it playing the silent game? Well she could certainly play too! Closing her lips ever so tightly, upturned corners present still, her eyes glowed with happiness. Kaylin had completely missed the boy returning her hello. In fact, she forgot about him.
Catching him speaking of wanting directions, she jumped twice up in the air. It spoke! Laughing out loud, she continued bouncing, letting her arms flop up and down along with the hat.
“It spoookkkeee!”
Giggling even while she spoke, the girl twirled around quite a few times before she came dizzy and stumbled towards the boy she had totally forgotten about. Well… probably more accidentally launched herself at. If he somehow happened to not be in her way, she would probably tumble straight out of the fall and end up on her feet again. But… if the poor boy stayed where he was, the two would probably be in a tangled mess of limbs on the ground.

Alistair wasn't quite sure how he had gone from asking a simple question to being involved in a large entanglement of limbs, but, maybe that was just the norm in Nevada. He wasn't entirely sure why the girl he had attempted communications with was so obsessed with his hat or why she believed it contained magical properties, but it seemed playing along was his best option for now. He cleared his throat and put on the best mystical voice he could muster.
"Yes...it is I...the talking hat, now, hear what I need to say. You have run into someone, this person, he is very important to the future of the world. If you assist him, then I will become your hat." Alistair hoped beyond hope that at the very least it would get her to notice he was there. He attempted to slip his arm out of the mess before he got even more entangled, before asking once more, in his normal voice. "Um...excuse me, I'm a little lost, I don't suppose you could give me some directions?"

Running around, getting herself dizzy, and now being flopped together in a mess with some random thing had Kaylin laughing near hysterically. Still, she would not have left go of that hat. Even better, after colliding with Alistair she would draw the hat close to her, hugging it, and one of the poor boy’s arms would very possibly be taken along with it. Humming an awfully out of tune melody, the girl was as happy as happy could be.
Well. One would have thought.
It spoke AGAIN! The girl’s renewed glee was evident as she squealed, instantly halting her laughter. Wide eyes, horribly large grin, hat now farther from her body as she looked at it with ever growing joy and energy. In fact, she had even attempted to jump to her feet. Attempted being the best word, seeing as she had her own feet collide with some portion of Alistair, therefore sending her sprawling forward away from the poor lad and her ending up on the ground again.
Giggling lightly, Kaylin would have never been able to recall what the hat said, even if she had paid any attention in the first place. Thankfully for Alistair, the small bit of distance between them helped grabbed Kaylin’s attention when he spoke the second time. Lost? Directions?
The girl sat up, placing the hat atop her head and putting her arms onto her sides. Elbows out, it was like she was posing… in a sitting position.
“The best way to joy is to smile!”
Yes. That is exactly what this kid needed. Once again, she was looking at Alistair, if only for a brief moment. It was progress. In that bit of time she knew he existed. Somewhat. Less than gracefully, the girl clammered to her feet. Rushing at the boy, she’d help him up if he wasn’t already, or she’d merely get very very close to him.
“Are you a fairy? Or magician? Or super magical fantastic warrior?”
