Make the Clock Reverse (Day 22 Jelly)

[voidtreckermods]

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.)

[ He is definitely not supposed to open the doors, not a all, and he doesn't look like he's getting anywhere with it. ]

I want to see outside!

[ The window just has terrible light. He hates it. ]

[tactlesstantei]

I thought all that's outside is those weird colours and stuff? Why do you want to look at that?

[She'd tried to look out the window earlier, when she decided to see where they were going, but all she'd gotten for it was a headache. She hasn't tried to look since.]

Do you think you'll see something else out the door?

[10billionpercent]

I don't know yet. I'll know when I open the door.

[ That makes total logical sense to him. He knows about the bright lights out the window. He doesn't care for them. But maybe the door isn't like that, maybe the door leads to a way out. ]

[tactlesstantei]

[On one hand, Masumi knows that it's a bad idea to open the door on a moving train, and that there shouldn't be anything different outside the door versus the windows.

On the other hand, she does want to know where they're going, since trains have to go somewhere, and there can't really be just those weird lights and stuff outside, so maybe it'll be fine if they just don't step out of the train?]

I guess we'll only know if we open the door...

[10billionpercent]

Exactly.

[ It makes sense to him and so he is going to focus on trying to pry the door open which unsurprisingly he makes absolutely no headway. Stronger people have tried and failed.

When he has to give up he stands up and puts one arm over his eyes while he tries to jab his screwdriver in the direction of the window, but as he's not that tall and he's not even looking, it definitely is not hitting the mark. ]

[tactlesstantei]

[Masumi stands back and watches as Senku tries to get the door open, hoping that maybe there might actually be something besides all that light outside. But unfortunately, the door doesn't open. Confused on why it won't open at all, she decides to go ahead and try to force it open herself, though her attempt just involves her yanking at it due to her not having any tools to help.

It goes about as well as expected, with the door still firmly closed.]

Did they lock us in?

[10billionpercent]

That's not fair.

[ He pouts a little bit because they definitely must have locked them in which wasn't fair and he didn't know what he was doing there in the first place. ]

Maybe it's just this door that's busted.

[ He'll just get up then, gather his tools and look for another one. ]

[tactlesstantei]

Maybe!

[She tags along, wanting to see if it's just that one door that's locked or not.]

They have to open the doors at some point, right? People can't get off if the doors are shut all the time. [Even if they're all apparently living on the train, she knows that people have to be able to get off or on at some point. They can't be stuck here forever, can they?]

[10billionpercent]

[ He nods in agreement. They have to open the doors, otherwise they'd be stuck there and that isn't what he wants. ]

I want to go home, so we have to open it. At least...I don't know why we're here?

[tactlesstantei]

I was told that we all live here, but I don't remember being here before. [It's really hard to believe that when she knows she was just at home the day before.]

I just want to go home too, but maybe if we look around, we can find out why we're here?

[She wants to be a detective, and that seems like something a detective would do.]

[10billionpercent]

[ He considers her suggestion and it seems as logical as anything. It's not like he can get the door open, apparently, so it might be time to investigate. ]

Alright. We can look around. I don't remember living here either. I was with Byakuya yesterday.

[tactlesstantei]

You too? I was with Mama and Kichi-niichan yesterday, and I don't know how I got here. People keep saying we live here, but I know I don't live here!

[It doesn't make any sense. She knows she was at home yesterday, and not on a train.]

...Ah, who's Byakuya?

[10billionpercent]

I don't live here either.

[ He knows that much and he tilts his head. ]

He's my guardian or whatever.
