hey. hey uh. just wondering what happened to all the children Curtain barged and brainswept. I'm assuming he didn't have a child services worker politely waiting at the dock for them. uh. where did they go.
#the mysterious benedict society#tmbs#ld curtain#sometimes in the Big Things that Curtain's done stuff like this gets overlooked#did the kids get dropped off at the orphanage? would he really waste the time? raise suspicion about where all these kids are coming from?#assuming one student gets barged a week from the leaderboard every Thursday. in all the years the Institute's been running.#that's a lot of kids.#did the kids just get left on the docks. left to wander around Stonetown with no memories and nowhere to go#also. the fact that unlike the books. not all/most of the kids at LIVE were orphans#Martina had parents#now granted the Whisperer's messages 'the missing aren't missing' probably discouraged them from looking for their kid#but like. did the parents ever wonder. after months of not hearing from their kid.#did they go into town one day for some shopping only for their child to stumble out of an alleyway#dirty and alone and scared and with a completely blank expression#and doesn't even blink twice at their own parents? not even a spark of recognition?#thinking about when the Emergency lifted and the Whisperer's messages stopped.#how many parents suddenly remembered their children have been missing#how many parents rushed to the Institute only to find out their child disappeared years ago?#'what happened to them?'not sure. only they never say goodbye to any of their friends before they leave#like they don't even recognize them at all.#how many parents kept searching. kept following that thread. found their child in an orphanage with no memory of how they'd gotten there#anyways. food for thought!

#I think about this all of the time and it terrifies me#The nice/crack answer is they all got shoved in an orphanage and while their parents didn't really remember them missing#The still felt lacking and would end up adopting their own child back#The bad answer is there's q concerning amount of children forming a Lost Boys colony in the woods around Stonetown#I mean#I assumed they got sent back to their parents just without clear memories of their time at the Institute#At least that's what I gathered from the books#Like Charlie Peters is a kid in the first book who graduated#And he just got his memories of Messenger duty erased and his mind very slightly jumbled#And then he was sent home#Which presents a whole other set of problems#But. You know. It's not like there were and child advocacy departments to stop Curtain.#:(#the mysterious benedict society#mbs
