"Kaitlin? Is that you?" Laura asked the mystery toddler.
The baby girl turned her head to look at her. A few seconds passed as she took in the other girl's features before it registered and a shocked look came over her face, "Laura?"
"Oh my god, Kaitlin...it is you!" She then quickly crawled over to her regressed co-worker. However she kept a bit of a distance due to the strong odor coming from Kaitlin's messy diaper. "What are you doing here and why are you two years old?" Laura asked though she was sure she was sure she had a good idea what the answer was.
"Well earlier today at work I received a package containing some dice. Feeling bored I decided to give them a roll and discovered they make you younger depending on what number you roll. Then some spirit told me the dice were the Regressing Lots and explained the rules. I rolled a 5 so I went from being 40 to 35, though everyone else in the office was unaware of my regression and thought my new age was normal."
"I see...but how did you wind up as a toddler? Surely you knew how dangerous the dice were?" Laura said in confusion.
"I did so which is why I was super careful bringing them home. However once I was home I got curious and decided to see if I could make myself just a little bit younger, at least 30 or a few years below that. I rolled the dice as carefully as possible on the table in my kitchen and got an 8. Next thing I knew I was 26 again. I had planned to stop there and went to pick up the dice. But my hands were sweaty from the rolling and one of the dice slipped from my grasp. I panicked and tried to catch it only for the other one to slip out too. When they fell to the floor they both landed on 6 for 12 total. Becoming 14 I ran to collect the dice but in my haste misjudged my speed and ended up kicking them under the refrigerator. Under normal circumstances I could move it and get them. But the thing is when I kicked them they rolled and guess what number they landed on for a second time."
Laura's eyes widened at her friend's astounding bad luck, "Seriously!? They landed on 12 again?" she exclaimed.
Kaitlin gave a small nod, "And to answer your question that's how I became 2."
Laura felt bad for Kaitlin to end up regressing all the way back to diapers, and in such a short amount of time too. "What happened next?"
"Well I tried calling my family but couldn't get ahold of them. I tried to reach you but couldn't, though I can see why now. I didn't want to leave my house but eventually I grew hungry and was forced to call 911. The police showed up, put me in a diaper and brought me here where they gave me some clothes to wear. And basically I've been here since yesterday, the police are too busy at the moment to do anything other then take care of me." Kaitlin then changed topics, "So what about you? What's your story?"
Laura then quickly summed up the events of the last day, embarrassingly ending with how she pooped her diaper and got changed by the nice policewoman before being taken to the station. Throughout her tale she noticed Kaitlin had taken to sucking on her thumb.
"Wow, sounds like you had a rougher time than me" Kaitlin admitted after pulling out her thumb to speak.
"Yeah...but the good news is I know the address of where the dice came from. It's a magic shop and I'm sure if we go there we can both become adults again" Laura said hopefully.
It was wishful thinking especially considering both of them had lost their pairs of dice. Laura was also worried about what the spirit had said about the bond being broken when her dice were taken from her. Kaitlin was still okay as her dice were underneath her fridge at home. So unless lost counted as taken she was still good in that respect.
"So what do you say. You want to help me break out of here?" Laura asked.
Kaitlin thinks it over for a minute while sucking her thumb.
