WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

[ ...clambers up??? ]

[keeps her hands on his shins so he's comfy and steady while she stands up]

There you are! How's the view? Better?

It's so tall!

In comparison, anyway.

All right, let's go find him. ...keep in mind what I said about time being fluid, though, okay?

[ confused ]

Yes, of course.

So he may or may not be the age you're expecting.

--Oh.

[ DIDN'T EXPECT THAT ]

But... Why would he be different?

He could have been affected by the magic of this place.

...

[after another beat of INWARD DITHERING and outward playing it cool]

...to tell you the truth, you aren't the age I was expecting, my Prince.

Me? But... But this is my age, always.

[squeezes his knees]

Reeeally, always? You were never smaller? You won't be grown someday?

[just very gently teasing. she's doing her best to help lead him to think through this so it's not entirely confusing.]

...Oh... I. I suppose...

[pat pat]

People here can come in from any point in time. You and I have met here before when you're full-grown, even. So if you meet others who seem to know you, that's probably why. And that's why I'm not sure how old your brother will be when we find him. I know it's strange...

Full-grown? You know me when I'm an adult?

I do!

What am I like?

[where the fuck is Thor, she's going to drop dead on the spot. keeping that tightly under wraps, though, answering him unhesitatingly]

You're a true hero of Asgard. You're quick and clever and brave in battle, accomplished with your magic and full of unexpected solutions to everything. You even got the drop on me once when we were having a little competition. I'm proud to guard you.

[please please please don't remember this]

[ ////// omg ]

Me...? O-oh... Thank you!

It's only the truth.

[ GOOD THING SHE CAN'T SEE HIM BECAUSE HE'S GRINNING SOOOOO WIDELY RIGHT NOW ]

...

Are you warm enough up there? You can wear my cape if you're feeling chilly.

Can I really?

[ WHO CARES IF HE'S COLD he doesn't get cold HE WANTS TO WEAR THE THING//// ]

[yeah tbh she was just offering him an excuse]

Of course. Here, hang on.

[stopping by a sidewalk bench so she can set him down and settle her cape around his shoulders]

[ * ^*!!!!!!!!! ]

What do you think, should we leave it long or tuck it up?

I don't want to get it dirty!
