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.)

Encounter near Medical?

[azrthmtrnznthos]

A healer he can find, as Raven had been concerned about the same thing. The other medical personnel being affected. Running to Yondu was unexpected but he looked normal. "Yondu. You're normal, right?"

[yondu]

He's nigh on ready to ask if she remembers yesterday, which has been his standard for checking folks, and then she basically preemptively reassures him.

"Yeah, I'm me."

It's kind of tragic how the relief hits him. "Ran into a sick kid earlier. And I'm pretty sure some of these kids are still armed, so I think we really need to keep a healer in medical. I can do a little bit of first aid but I can't fix nothin' major."

And the medical staff he encountered seems otherwise occupied.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Where was the sick kid?" It sounded like they needed a healer OUT of medical for the moment. "First Aid is better than nothing."

[yondu]

"He's alright. Wandered into the luggage car where someone had been smokin' somethin'." He's not really familiar with tobacco cigarettes. Just something. "He's alright now, but wasn't anyone around earlier. Then I saw one of the doctors."

So he didn't know how many were affected by whatever the royal shit this is.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Luggage Car is commonly used to smoke cigarettes." Raven supplied automatically. "When you say 'sick', what do you mean?"

[yondu]

"He had trouble breathin'."

Asthma, essentially.

"I've also been seein' electrical devices taken apart and I'm bettin' one's gonna get shocked or cut on somethin'. I'm gonna try to repair or put away what I can."

He's got the good sense to just hide some stuff before it's broken.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Trouble breathing could mean a few different things. Raven might have to head towards luggage and make sure he's alright. Just in case.

"I wish I had tools to help you. Do you know who else isn't changed?"

[yondu]

"Piccolo seems right enough. Guy with big blonde hair seemed to be good." He'd mention Crowley but Crowley wasn't the helping type so he left him out of it. "Real tall Terran was."

He makes a gesture over his head. Like way over his head.

"Look, I'm runnin' laps making sure they're not leavin' breakables out or not burnin' down the library. If you hang around in this area I bring you food and whatever so you don't have to head out quite as far."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"That works." Raven sighs, then blinked and looked at her SCA. Fiddling with it for a bit, before sighing again. "I guess the comms function on these only works on missions."

"I'll take up residence in medical for awhile. If I leave, I'll teleport back as soon as I'm done with whatever pulled me out." Yondu's plan was a good one. "Piccolo is a good one yes, he's blue team lead. I don't recognize the other two by your description, but maybe once the younger ones are all asleep, we can all get together or something. If some of the older teens also end up helping out, we should be alright."

Raven made herself take a breath. Calm, she had to remain calm. The flu outbreak on the train had been worse than this, and she'd handled that.

"Alright, to start with, find that kid if you can. Get him here, or..." Pausing, she pondered. "Try thinking my name, REALLY hard. Attach it to an emotion. A strong emotion and focus that way." She was, after all, an Empath. Not a Telepath. "I'll try to sense you, and can teleport to you if needed."

[yondu]

"I took care of him earlier but when I see him again I'll bring him by, or tell him to come by himself."

He's not sure he can feel something that strong, nothing except anger, that's the only thing he ever let himself have. And she's being helpful, he doesn't want to latch her in on his rage.

"It ain't an emergency right yet."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Good, and thank you." Raven was quiet a moment, before speaking again. "Anyone tell you how the ICP's work? They're in every car and cabin, except the ones in the quiet car only allow train-wide messages from the conductor or whoever it who makes the announcements. So if you need me, you can also use the ICP."

[yondu]

"Yeah, I've used 'em. I just felt better locating and confirming in person who had their head together."

A lot of it having to do that he's running the rounds.

"You know of anyone with little animals? That might need checked in on? 'Cause I've raised a kid. I know they're shit about rememberin' stuff like that."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Oh Azar, he was right. "We do have a lot of pets, but I'm not sure who they all belong to. Mostly cats." Raven let herself sigh in frustration, grateful when all that happened was some rustling of the furniture. Thanks to her powers reacting.

"I'd say just, keep an eye out? I'll see if I can locate any pockets of distress that might be animals instead of humans."

[yondu]

Great. Cats. Creepy little fucks, but you know what? He'll do what he needs to. This might require looking up what they eat, but that's what the library is for.

Rabbits, too. But they're less anxiety-inducing.

"Alright, I'm headin' out. Want me to bring somethin' back?" he checks again to be sure.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Herbal tea--just bring me the bags and I'll make it here. Hot or cold, I think I'll need it. Thank you."

[yondu]

He heads off to get her that, no problem. Luckily Senku pointed the tea out to him. It'll be easy enough to grab. He returns to medical with them not too long later, putting them on the counter.

"I had this buddy way back when I was part of a team, he was somethin' called a Lem? His name was Krugarr. Did something called 'Eldritch magic'. Reminds me of some of the stuff you talk about doin'."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Feel free to ask me questions. I've been trained in a few different ritual styles." Raven offered, taking the tea gratefully.

[yondu]

"Nah, it was just a-"

A dumb nostalgia moment. He missed his 'family'. He missed Krugarr and Stakar. He missed that crazy bitch Aletta.

He can't even finish the sentence because it's idiotic so he waves it off like a bad smell.

"Just keep doin' what you're doin'."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"I plan to." Raven said, sensing a moment of something from him, before she shoved it away. It felt private, and she tried to respect privacy most of the time.
