Make the Clock Reverse (Day 22 Jelly)

Make the Clock Reverse,
Bring back what once was mine.


On the evening of Day 21, before it goes dark, any Voidtreckers who look out of the windows might see the void is a little more chaotic than usual. There's a little bit of turbulence. Nothing too bad, nowhere near how bad it got during the void storm, but noticeable all the same.

It doesn't last long, and the night continues. Those who are not early to bed may see the odd golden flicker out of the corner of their eyes, darting away and vanishing if pursued.

Strange...

Heal what has been hurt,
Change the fates' design.


"Good Morning passengers. Today is day twenty two of the month of Jelly." The morning announcement wakes everyone up as usual, and they awaken in their own beds.

Though, for some passengers, those beds may seem completely unfamiliar: a strange room full of people they don't recognise. For others the room and people are perfectly normal, just... bigger than they remember them being yesterday.

Or it might be that they feel healed, old scars faded. The changes might be small, sporting their embarrassing teenage hair cut; or drastic, their whole body younger.

Either way, it is clear that something very strange has happened on the train.

(OOC: All the information about this event is Here. All changes will reverse the next night and passengers will wake up normal on day 23.

Update: In early afternoon the dressing carriage cupboards will open and animal onesies will be available in child size.)

"I will know about it! I'm going to make a rocket ship!" Senku informed her with a little bit of a stare, but at least she had his attention at the moment.

"What other books do you have?" This library had a lot of books for children and he wasn't one millimetre interested in that.

Well, that seemed to have gotten his attention. She shouldn't be surprised.

"I just picked up a book on computational chemistry you might like. Or one on sequence analysis." Naturally she picked up stuff relating to her own interests. She didn't know how much that'd correlate to this new, smaller Senku though.

Senku's eyes lit up at her book choices. "Computational Chemistry? There aren't a lot of books like that in my library. Can I read it?"

Bingo. "Let me pull it out. I brought it along for some light reading of my own."

She has her bag with her - not particularly for the books, but because she has a bunch of her child-sized clothes stuffed inside, so she can lend them out to children in need. But it does have the book as well, which she pulls out and offers to Senku.

Essentials of Computational Chemistry, Second Edition: Theories and Models. A classic.

Senku looked delighted by the book on offer. He wasn't wearing child appropriate clothes exactly, just his usual orange polo shirt, but he definitely didn't seem bothered by it.

"Let me see!" He should say thank you, but he tended not to do that.

Haibara will, on noting Senku's clothing situation, at least fish out a pair of child-sized pants for him. "Here, you can have these too." She figures somebody like Senku won't mind the oversized polo, but a boy would rather wear pants than not, right?

Either way, it's being offered along with the book, which she readily hands over without a word as to his manners. She's used to being with children, it doesn't bother her.

"Okay." Senku grumbled lightly as he took the pants and slid off the chair to pull them on. It wasn't like he was going to flash her, his shirt was very long.

Once he had that out of the way, he climbed back up to look at the book properly. He wasn't going to get rid of the physics book, no, he just opened this one up on top of it.

You know, somehow this doesn't surprise her.

Still, he seems content for now. She'll just let him be for a while. Maybe bring him by lunch if he's still in the same place later.

She wonders just how fast he'll devour that book, though.

He wasn't as fast a reader at that age, but he was definitely going to make a dent in it. If she left and returned, he probably will have added two more books to his book pile, because he had such an unfocused way of following his idea trails.

Considering how much he knew as an adult, it obviously paid off eventually.

As she comes back to check on him later, she notes the additional books, but also that he's still here, reading. She'll take this as a victory.

She drops off a plate with a couple small sandwiches on it. Haibara knows how to cook, but sandwiches are a food you can eat while reading. Haibara is used to this herself, so she figures Senku will appreciate.
