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.)

That did seem to catch his attention, well enough that he was looking at her critically.

"Namek? What kind of planet is that? Where is it?"

[ballseeker]

"Well.. unfortunately, the original Namek doesn't exist anymore." Bulma probably should've just kept her mouth shut on Namek, but there's no helping her now. She's around thirty something these days.

"There was an evil guy who wanted to blow it up so he did. The people from the planet live with me now, though."

Senku blinked a few times as though he was processing that.

"That's stupid. Who wants to blow up a planet? Is there even enough energy to do that?" He was very skeptical about this planet blowing up business.

[ballseeker]

"A lot of the people I know can make that much energy. If you put it directly toward the magma center of a planet it goes up pretty quickly." It had actually been shocking to her how quickly Namek had gone from fine to absolutely cracking at the seams and leaking volcanic liquid. She's also thankful that she, Krillin and Gohan had come separately so that they could get the hell out as soon as possible.

"You don't want to meet Frieza. Trust me."

"But why would you want to? I don't get it. Planets are more useful when they're intact." Senku observed. "When they're exploded they're just particles in the universe."

[ballseeker]

"Some people just like to destroy." It's a simplistic explanation, and she knows it, but.. she's not looking in to the psychology of Frieza, okay? She doesn't really care enough to understand why the hell the villains they face are the way that they are.

He's dead now anyway.. two times over at that.

"Most of the people I know of don't do that, though.

[10billionpercent]

"Well. Those people are stupid." He said conclusively, in a way only a child who had no real world experience yet could manage.

[ballseeker]

Bulma laughs at the simplistic explanation, but she can't refute the logic. Not when it's absolutely true, particularly when it comes to Frieza and his cronies. Little does she know that Frieza makes a return later in her life, but...

Let's not ruin the fun and tell her just yet. "That's true, I can't say that I disagree there."

Bulma thinks so, for sure. "There's people trying to blow up or take over my version of Earth all the time. It's not great."

[10billionpercent]

"But the Earth has so many resources, it's stupid to just blow it up." Senku insisted. "It would make more sense if they were just trying to take all the resources away." He didn't know them all yet or anything, but he understood that much.

"Seems kinda like a waste."
