The Magic of Time

[saving_sound]

[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.))

Ah -- I'll pass the message on!

Thank you, Edogawa-kun.

...Nobody else looks like they're being cursed right now, are they?

[ Oh, this place just gets freakier and freakier by the minute. ] Pfft. Being a teenager's not so bad. If you don't count the awkward growth spurts, pimples, sudden desire to do all kinds of bad and dirty things dot dot dot. [ And -- he'll just leave it at that. ]

What did you do?

Anger the gods?

[saving_sound]

Bad and... dirty things?

[You are talking to a clueless ten eleven? year old here, dude.]

Umm... I'm not sure. I didn't think I did anything to anger them, but maybe I did without realizing...?

[Whoa hey, crying girl !! This is not okay. Rose to the rescue.]

You turned into a teenager? Isn't that just part'f growin' up? [...Wait, not helping.]

M'sure you'll be okay. You work at the hospital?

[saving_sound]

I know I'll be a teenager someday, but I don't think I'm supposed to have grown up this fast... I'm only ten. O-or maybe eleven.

[...How does time work in Asgard.]

But... Yes, I'm a healer at the hospital.

[ Just a. Tic. ]

Hibiki?

[saving_sound]

Doctor!

Y-yes, I am Hibiki. I think I got cursed...

[video]

[bloodypocket]

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?

[video]

[saving_sound]

Rutherford-san!

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

[Action!]

[seventeenpills]

Hey! Hibiki! I saw your post!

[He walks over and pulls up a stoll next to hers.]

You've been aged up again, huh? Do you know if it happened to anyone else this time?

[Action!]

[saving_sound]

It looks that way... But I talked with Edogawa-san earlier, and it doesn't look like it's a city-wide curse this time.

[Which is good because she's the only one who has to put up with it. Except, that also means... she must have made one of the gods angry, whoops.]

I wonder what I did...?

[talking_dead]

[Going to staaaaaaaaare for a bit. He's not really sure what to say or think.]

[Video]

[saving_sound]

Ah--

Norman-san! Are you okay? [BEING FIFTEEN DOES NOT STOP HER WORRIES.]

[video]

[vigilanteup]

... you sure you're okay?

[video]

[saving_sound]

I... think I'll be alright. [She's been through this before and she knows how it goes. She's just weak enough to get upset by it, that's all.]

I just feel bad about not being able to do anything while I'm changed like this.

[guardianjoker]

You got turned into a teenager?

video;

[saving_sound]

Yes... N-normally I'm only ten years old.

...Or... eleven? [Time in Asgard. How does it work.]

( things that happen if you manage to get yourself Ja'far-adopted [beside endless threads]

also, aren't you happy that he can do bracelet-magic and name-reading so much easier now )

Hibiki?!? Oh those thrice-damned fools! Did they curse you?!

vidya;

[saving_sound]

[She's startled by Ja'far's anger, and tips her head with a small sniffle.]

I-I think so... it doesn't look like anybody else has been affected by it.

What did I do...?

[unimpressive]

[...Vyse can't take everyone he knows turning into a teenager, okok]

Hibiki? H-hey, do you need help?!

video; I love you anywaaaaay ♥

[saving_sound]

Vyse-san!

I... I think I'll be okay. I'll just have to be extra careful when I go down the stairs...

[...All three flights of them.]

[video]

[suppressthedark]

[WELL THIS IS NEW]

...Hibiki?

[video]

[saving_sound]

Ah- Kurosaki-san!

I didn't think this would happen to me again...

[video]

[likethelight]

[ ! ]

Miss Hibiki? [ The girl from -- the alley?

Ah. ] It's okay, I can tell the hospital if you still need someone to.

Are you alright? [ "Can't move"...? ]

[video]

[saving_sound]

[Oh! It's... this person!

She looks a little embarrassed now. Being seen in that state...]

Th-thank you. And I think I'll be okay... I just need to be very careful-!

[She is determined not to trip over her feet this time! ...Or at least, not as much as she did the first time this happened!]

time for ACTION

[hushedpenance]

[ Forget walking to the park. Is that girl in there really ... struggling to walk around?

She looks familiar... And-- she might fall if she isn't careful, uhh, what do??

GO THROUGH THE WINDOW OF COURSE!~ it's faster, okay...! ]

What's this? You're going to fall. [ But he's right there to steady her or catch her or ... just be a nuisance by breaking in through the window. Who even does that? ]

All the ACTION

[saving_sound]

[Wow that's another person through her window-

Wait this is the fourth floor.

Between that realization and the fact that she was about to, y'know, fall, all she can really give is a small sound of mixed confusion and surprise.]

W-wah-!
