[Video]

[A rather flustered and, in some cases, slightly familiar girl shows up on the screen! She seems to be in a mild panic, really.]

S-something weird is happening! I'm a lot taller now, a-and... Umm...

I think... I think I might have gotten older!

[That so, Hibiki. Then again, even as a teenager she isn't especially tall...]

[Action]

[People out and about may see a girl tripping, stumbling, and occasionally faceplanting nearby. In some cases, she might even be falling right into you! She was never very coordinated, and the change in height isn't doing her any favors.]

-Wah!

[Train appears to have gotten shorter. Much shorter. Probably because he now looks like he's about 12 to 14 like so. He is just...not in the mood for it]

You gods, or whoever, you got some serious issues with your sense of humor!
How am I going to reach the top of the cabinets! How, tell me!
And there isn't even anything fun I can take advantage of by being a kid here.
Bah, I guess I'll just have to deal with this. Again. Could be worse I guess.

[He pouts, sitting on the floor.]

[ the feed clicks on to Kanaya... or so it seems. there's definitely something odd about the way this girl looks - she's more physically mature. while her hairstyle is generally the same, her horns are a bit longer and she seems to be taller as well. it's more than obvious that she looks much older than she was the day before - right now, her physical age could very well be placed in her late 20's, in human years.

and to top it all off, she looks pissed as shit. ]

I don't know which god is responsible for this, but whoever it was definitely needs to re-evaluate their sense of humour.

[ oh hey, her voice is just a tad deeper as well. great. she sighs and rubs her temples in apparent frusturation before clicking the feed off. ]


(( ooc: Kanaya has been aged up for the event! for those famailar with Homestuck, she looks a lot like The Dolorosa, her ancestor. all replies will come from rainbowmother ! ))

[A bespectacled man with slightly messy brown hair appears on the screen. He looks like he's in his late thirties or early forties, and seems a little tired.

SURPRISE It's Hisao.]

So, singing, hugging, and getting old. What will the Gods do next? Well, I should say Old-Er. I don't think I'm too far past my prime. If I ever had a prime.

[His chuckle is just slightly bitter sounding at this.]

I see on the network some of you have, instead, become very young. If you need help, do let me know. I'll be happy to fetch things from high places or wash up or... whatever else you might need. Hopefully, like the songs and cuddles, this too will pass swiftly.

[He looks as if he's about to turn the video off when he suddenly remembers something.]

Awfully nice of them to leave me some glasses to go with my new nearsightedness. I suppose they aren't entirely mean spirited, even in this case.

I think that, out of all of the things that have happened, this, is my favorite.

[ Tavros is grinning like a doofus, looking very much like a certain rebellious ancestor. But that's not why he's delighted, oh no, the large fairy-like wings behind him are what's causing all of this joy.

Even though his horns have gone past cumbersome and leapt straight into holy fucking shit how do you make doors work he can live with this.

Replies will be coming from lowblood. ]

[like so many others in the city today, this particular man has found himself a different age than the one he should be! it looks like Hope's gotten about ten years older overnight, and his voice has changed to reflect it. things that haven't changed, though, are his behavior and demeanor. it'll be most apparent to the people who run into him as he's walking around Freya today, but it's still pretty noticeable even over the network.]

... Looks like we weren't let off the hook even after everything else that's gone on lately, huh? I can't say it's all bad—I mean, I'd take this over having to fight—but it's definitely... weird. Sometimes I have to wonder just what decides who gets affected and who doesn't when stuff like this happens.

[he stops for a second as he scratches the back of his neck. sure, his usual clothes have grown with him, but it isn't exactly the outfit a twenty-something year old should be dressed in. (if it looked a little too small on him at fourteen, it definitely hasn't gotten any better now.)]

Er... I know this'll probably get asked a lot until things go back to normal, but would anyone be willing to lend me some clothes for now? I'll get them back to you as soon as I can, I promise. It's just... I can't do a lot with what I have now. Thanks in advance.

(ooc: +1 to the aged up crowd! replies will be coming from highestheim.)

[Here's a familiar face, although whom it belongs to may be questionable these days. It's the face of a young man, likely in his early twenties, unscarred and completely lacking in muttonchops.

Just listen for the mention of guns. It'll be clear that it's Moran and not Magneto.]

Now here's something I haven't seen in years. [He's grinning, more amused than angered by the sudden change.] The difference a few years' service and a hungry tiger's claws can make. [He traces his fingers over the areas of his jaw where his scars should be and gives a wistful sigh.] Well, it's not the same, is it? Nothing to show for all that time and effort. Amusing, but you've yet to top yourselves, god. There's just no blaze to you any longer. Like firing a gun and hitting your mark, but never hearing the bang. Disappointing.

And as for the rest of you--what's the matter, chums? Not enjoying yourselves? Why, I'm sure this is an improvement for at least some of you.

{OOC| tags for this this event will come from chums because baby Fassbender ehehehe.}

[I'd say you're all getting tired of seeing this face on the network, but, uh.

In the slew of children and young and middle-aged adults on the network, there's a grey haired, very worn-looking old man. His features are mostly obscured by a long beard, but if you know what to look for...he's recognizable as Rory.

...Yeah, nothing really needs to be said. He takes a deep breath and just shakes his head.]

I...I'm done. This isn't funny and I'm just--I'm absolutely, completely done. I'd like to be sent home now, please. [You kids get off his lawn.]

[ Well, someone is looking tall, dark, and, uh, older today. Three guesses as to who and the first two don't count. Surely the searing crimson glasses and the dragon-headed cane the figure is spinning around her hand gives well more than enough clues as to the figure's identity. She may be a little taller and definitely shapelier, but it is definitely one Terezi Pyrope. As with the other trolls, she bears more than a slightly distinct resemblance to her ancestor She is about 5'10"--taller than before, but probably shorter than a good number of the other adult!trolls. ]

Please, don't be alarmed, Asgard. Yes, I am smoking hot, but that is not what I'm here for. Mostly. Feel free to comment on it regardless. Anyway!

These 'gods' were supposed to give us all powers, right? I want to learn more about this. Give me anything and everything you know. Hopefully I can pry enough of you away from inspecting whatever gross, advanced crevices you've discovered in your new bodies to get some information.

[ If no one has any information to give or would be unwilling or just totally lame, anyone and everyone can encounter Terezi in her upgraded body prowling around all the districts. Is she on the search for more information or simply hunting prey to troll? Either way, she appears to have grown used to her new body pretty quickly with the way she is walking with a strut in her hips and her cane swinging about.

So, basically, all evidence points to the latter hunting. But that is just what she wants everyone to think. She is really on the perpetual prowl for information. ]

[For one time only, Sollux is going to do a video post. Why? Because he got the good genes, man. The genes for being at least 6'2", and the genes for having horns that got decently tall (unlike some people), and the genes for massive fangs and oh, what's that? The genes for- fuck yes- broad shoulders. Even if he hasn't really grown into much more muscle than he did at his younger age, this is still a massive improvement. He's gotten taller, his hair has gotten fluffier, and all is right with the world except he's still an unpowered disaster.

And he is loving it.]

I don't thee what everyone'th complaining about. Honethtly thitth ith like the firtht time they've managed to get thomething right. Can I thtay like thith? Can I?

[Feferi looks noticeably older--late teens early twenties in human years. Her horns and hair have only gotten longer, and really she looks unsettlingly like Her Imperious Condescension if you know of Feferi's ancestor. She's not grinning like said ancestor ever would, though, too brimming with excitement and genuinely cheerful for that. She's not as close as she usually is to her bracelet, at least, so the video feed provides a good look at her, but she's still practically buzzing with energy, excited glubbing filling in any moment of silence she might have.]

Hey, do you think this will stick? That would be pretty cool, don't you think? I'd need to get new clothes, though. [She laughs.] I feel kind of like a big fish in a small pond in the lake now, though.

It seems Malik has been missing for quite some time. Are we... to presume he returned to his world? What will become of his shop now? And the rest of us?

If I can still hold some sort of position, I would be most grateful. It is selfish to wish that he could have stayed here for a bit longer. He was a very kind man.

[There is the sound of a slight rustling and several curses from a voice that sounds like they're a little too young to be cursing.]

Come on, it's my first day of school, my one day of the year I get to be normal, and demons kidnap me anyway? This is --

[And suddenly, a small boy appears as the video suddenly turns on -- and a ten year old Sam Winchester nearly drops the bracelet, eyes widened in shock as the hologram appears.]

... whoa.

[And Sam tentatively prods his fingersthrough the hologram. The video distorts abruptly before resettling into one image -- and Sam, who by all rights should look fairly freaked out, looks kind of...entertained.]

It's just like Star Wars. I wonder if Dean --

[And the video feed shuts off as Sam accidentally turns it off.]

ooc; Enjoy your cursified ten year old Sam Winchester who has no idea where he is because I felt like having fun, yo. All responses are going to come from weechester. 8)
