WHAT More timey-wimey nonsense
WHERE Wherever you are
WHEN Day 126, a̧ft̨er̡n͢ooņ

[So last night some of you experienced some serious smallness and weirdness. maybe you want to go check and jump some of the cute small people in that post, still.

But now it's a new day and things are—uh, oh shit, totally not back to normal. It's midday in early spring! Only then suddenly there's a snowstorm and an ice rink has appeared. And then it's nighttime in the sweltering summer heat and crickets are chirping.]

Sometimes it stays the same long enough to enjoy an out-of-season activity, so maybe you want a Pumpkin Spice Latte or something? Try to enjoy the day, even if the magic-sensitive might be occasionally feeling a little under-the-weather.]

[TIME / DEAGE / AGE-UP nonsense continues! Change things up from the first post? Jump in for the first time? You can also use this as a Totally Normal post. I'll do another post on Friday/Saturday for the weekend crowd as well. There's also been some other rad posts lately you can hit up as well if you don't want to timey-wimey. ]

[puts a hand on it and goes super fucking still]

[starspangledman]

[he's holding still as well]

It's all right. It's just hair.

[ribblerouser]

[he doesn't answer. It's like he's started disassociating at the beardfeel]

[starspangledman]

Mikk?

[ribblerouser]

[startles] Sorry, I was staring again. It's very springy. Sort of coarse?

[starspangledman]

Yeah, it's like that.

[ribblerouser]

[whispers, fascinated] Why do some humans have it and others don't? They cut it?

[starspangledman]

They cut it, yeah. Sometimes humans can't grow it. Usually we can't grow them out until we're older.

[ribblerouser]

Huh... okay.

[accepts this, lowering his hand]

[starspangledman]

Have you met a lot of humans before?

[ribblerouser]

No, sir. I've never been offworld before this place.

[starspangledman]

You don't need to call me sir, Steve is fine.

[ribblerouser]

Yes, s...Steve.

[starspangledman]

That's good. So you've been here before?

[ribblerouser]

[his whisper gets even quieter] Once before. I thought maybe the academy sent me away?

[starspangledman]

[Steve's crouched by now, mostly so he can hear]

What made you think that?

[ribblerouser]

'cause I'm no good and they can't teach me anything.

[starspangledman]

I don't think that's true.

[ribblerouser]

It is true. Most of the teachers have me just sit out and watch now.

[starspangledman]

What do they have you watching?

[ribblerouser]

All the classes except languages. Singing and dancing and instruments.

[starspangledman]

What kind of dances?

[ribblerouser]

They teach a lot of stuff... I'm still trying to learn the basics.

[starspangledman]

Which one is your favorite to watch?

[ribblerouser]

...Fountain leap...
