asgardeventide | The Magic of Time

[Video]

[There's a girl on the network who looks about ready to cry. Which is... familiar, if you know Hibiki. But at the same time, she looks too old to be the girl in the green cloak everybody is so used to...

Well, unless you were around for the aging event, at least.]

I-it happened again. I got turned into a teenager again...

What should I do? I can't move like this... Last time, I kept falling, and I never figured it out-!

[Wah.]

Umm... W-would somebody be able to tell the people at the hospital that I can't come today? I don't think I can help out very much like this...

Rutherford-san, I don't mind cooking a meal today, but I don't think I can deliver it. B-but I'll try to see if somebody else can bring it instead-! [Because she would feel bad if she didn't at least try.]

[Action; Sigyn kitchen]

[After some effort, she's finally made it down to the kitchen, still miraculously in one piece. There's a bit of a red bump on her head, and some minor scuffs on her knees, which might explain why she's seated at the table for the moment. She did manage to brew up some tea at least, which she is enjoying, but judging by the soaked towels on the floor and a suspicious bandage pad stuck to her hand, it took quite a bit more effort than usual.

But all of that aside, she does look up when she hears somebody coming, and even manages a weak smile.]

Umm... Hello.

((OOC: Hibiki has been hit by an age-up curse, making her about fifteen or sixteen years old. ...She's not much taller really, but it's still enough to make it difficult to judge distances.))

Hibiki? [Silly girl, thinking about him when she was having so much trouble herself. But what had she done that would warrant a curse?]

Don't worry about it, how long has this persisted?

Rutherford-san!

...It hasn't been very long. I woke up like this.

Are you limiting yourself when it comes to movement for the time being?

Yes... I think I'm going to stay inside of the Welcome Hall until it wears off. Otherwise I'll just keep hurting myself by accident...

[She knows this from experience.]

Will you have others looking after you?

Well... Norman-san said he would come and make a cane for me to use...

Oh, and Edogawa-kun said he can deliver the food to you!

How thoughtful of them. [He doesn't know who Norman is beyond occasionally seeing him on the network, but Conan has always intrigued him.]

Would Conan Edogawa starts his deliveries tonight immediately?

Yes! He might show up early, actually... But I'll leave instructions with it!

That's fine. [Even if he doesn't like the idea of someone he barely knew coming close to him, but what could he do about it aside from accept it in good grace.]

If there is anything you feel you need, tell me.

I think I'll be okay. A lot of people are coming to help...!

[It's a little embarrassing, but... She's also undeniably happy so many of her friends are able to help her.]

I'm sure they are, perhaps I should not offered when I know you will be taken care of.

[Which was a poor attempt at teasing honestly, but if there was something he could do...]

Oh-- no! I still appreciate the offer very much, Rutherford-san!

Just take care of yourself first and foremost, Hibiki. Don't worry about me during this time.

But... even if I'm like this, you still need food, don't you?

It'll be fine. I still need to cook for myself anyway, and everybody's helping me a lot. Really!

[You are not getting out of this so easily, Eyes.]

Hibiki, I managed for years in worse conditions before this. Several days will do nothing to hurt me.

[He can still try!]

I know... [You're talking to little miss incompetent, after all.]

But... I still want to help you if I can. You've done so much for me...

Haven't we been over this already? [He doesn't know whether to be annoyed, exasperated or touched, really.]

Well, yes but--

[She just... really, really wants to be useful.]

[He would be sighing now if he were the type to do that, or feel immense guilt. He could still offer her some consolation, though.]

Stay safe until this happens, that's all I ask. That piece you requested of me will be ready for you to hear then.

Mm...! I'll be very careful. And hopefully the curse won't last very long, so then I can go back to doing normal things soon.

Then let us wait for the best. You know where and how to find me if you wish to speak together.

Uh-huh! The Draupnir, right?

Draupnir and Freyr House. [There's a pause before he adds:]

The memorial in Hel District as well.

Eh... the memorial...?

An unmarked grave to memorialize those who have predeceased us and cannot be buried here, put together by the woman named Morgana.
