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.)
flatteries: (we've all got scars as big as ours)

Okay, it's that last question that just makes him laugh.

"Trust me, you would've noticed if I did. I'm not very subtle at all." At least he's selfaware enough to know that much.. Inigo would never be able to pull off such a thing smoothly.

But he's not sure if Senku will buy that explanation, so he shakes his head and moves a step back, just to make sure he doesn't accidentally hit or hurt the bitty.

"Here, I'll show you something I couldn't just make appear through sleight of hand." The flower disappears again, and instead Inigo calls forth his sword from the Arms Band, holding it in his hand with his usual grip. "There. No way I could sneakily pull that out through a trick, right?"

Senku didn't think much of sleight of hand at this age, it wasn't terribly impressive to him and he definitely would never know a magician-type, or learn it himself for the opportunity to show up said magician.

None of that would ever happen.

His eyes were a little wider because definitely a sword was too big to just hide away.

"Okay, I believe you it's magic. Why do you have magic?"
flatteries: (i'm just trying to stop the bleeding)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-02-26 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't really have magic.."

Before Senku gets the wrong idea. Sure, maybe it'd work if he'd claim to be some sort of wizard, maybe Senku would want to listen to his explanation as to what's going on here.. But it'd feel wrong to lie to a friend.

Even a friend who's been turned into a suspicious child.

"It's this ring that has magic. A friend gave it to me. Anyway-- that's not the most important thing right now. The important thing I'm trying to say here is that there's tons of unbelievable stuff that can happen in this place." Inigo gestures with an arm at the train around them as he says it.

"Really?" Senku's brow furrowed as he looked around full of skepticism.

"What kind of weird things could happen?"

He wasn't sure how much of this he believed, except Inigo seemed kind of weird in his opinion.
flatteries: (the rubble or our sins)

"Just about anything you could think of."

.. Or maybe almost anything. Inigo isn't very sure of just what kind of crazy things Senku's brain could think of.

"Say something you think is impossible. Maybe it's something that can actually happen here."

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2021-02-27 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
He had to stop and think about that, considering what the best response would be.

"Doraemon would come here!" He declared suddenly, staring at Inigo. "But that's impossible because Doraemon isn't real."

....

Inigo was anticipating Senku saying something ridiculous. But he didn't expect to encounter his one and true nemesis here: modern pop culture. Because he's never even heard of anything remotely close to the name Senku is saying right now.

Which leaves the boy just.. staring. In confusion. Maybe if he wasn't so caught off guard by it, he would've worked with it, trying to glance the meaning from context, but in this case all he can say is a very elegant:

"Who?"

"Doraemon." Senku said with a bit of inflection.

"He's a blue cat robot from the future that uses scientific gadgets on all kinds of adventures!"

What kind of a rock did this guy live under that he didn't know the best anime there was?
flatteries: (and some just won't)

"Well.."

Sorry for the slow reaction, Senku. Inigo's brain is still kind of busy trying to wrap itself around this concept, but he's getting there! Just.. very slowly.

"We do.. have robots here on the train? And we've had cat people before." Not that he's entirely sure if there's still one of those around on the train right now. "And we are going on adventures."

That's close enough, right.

Also, Inigo is from the future.. technically. But he's pretty sure explaining that in a way that's convincing to this tiny Senku is going to be impossible, so he keeps it to himself.

Senku just stared at him, brow furrowed with a little pout. It was not the same at all.

"I don't believe you." He informed Inigo, but he wasn't sure exactly what he believed or didn't.

"There has to be a limit to what can happen if Doraemon's not here." He may have been a little obsessed with the cartoon as a child.
flatteries: (nobody here is perfectly fine)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-03-01 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Inigo can't believe he's basing all potential belief on the presence of some.. weird robot cat. How come he hasn't heard Senku mention that thing even once when he's older, huh! Is this just some kid Senku trait? Not like Inigo's got a clue in that regard.

But he's trying to be patient here, no matter how obstinate this little Senku is. (After all, the grown Senku is just as stubborn when it comes down to it, huh..)

"Well, if you don't believe me, just go look around the train. You'll find that I'm right. I'm pretty normal compared to most people here." And he's a time-travelling medieval fantasy prince. So. That's saying something.

Senku stared at him for another long minute, like he was trying to discern if Inigo was right or not.

He should ask adult Senku about the robot cat, really.

"Alright. I will." Senku said decisively, because he was planning on exploring anyway and now that he knew Byakuya wasn't around he could probably get away with all kinds of science without adult supervision.

He turned and headed in the direction he'd been moving in the first place.

...

Well.

Inigo stares at Senku's retreating form, contemplating whether or not the other will be alright.. Surely he will, right?

Here's to hoping.
