WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

[ The feed comes on to show Gohan's face. Looking younger than he did before, although that absolutely shouldn't distract from his completely bewildered expression. ]

Y-You know, I'm pretty used to a lot of things... but having memories of being older that are still somehow in the past?! That might actually be a first for me, believe it or not!


(ooc: using the time ripple event to age him back down to being a teenager, but i'm having the time trapper give him his legion memories back. tl;dr: he's eighteen again, permanently, but remembers being older. oh, and uh, pretend this is after the plots, obviously.)

Oh wow...

Wait what?! None of what you just said makes sense! -Break it down for her, Professor.-

[ He sighs, because man he's gonna need to calm down before he can offer a rational explanation. ]

You remember me looking older, right?

Re: [video]

[marryonette]

Well... I remember thinking you were handsome!

You still are, so it's not much of a difference... -Saiyan's don't exactly age dramatically, Gohan.-

Calm yourself, Gohan.

[fourstars]

Given the circumstances, I'm pretty calm!

[ He is not. ]

[araignee_du_soir]

I disagree. Your emotions make you vulnerable. Pause and take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat until you are calm.

Well, that just doesn't make sense. Do you remember everything from when you were older? [Odds seem pretty good that he's partially responsible for this. Still, Piccolo wished to be younger with the Dragon Balls, so it wouldn't be the first time that he's seen something like this.]

[video]

[fourstars]

Sort of. I remember everything I did here... but nothing from back home.

[video]

[4starsaviour]

...Um... So if I say "Pan", do you remember who that is? [She's undoubtedly been brought up here a few times, but Goku's not sure how that would work.]

[kingtyrantranger]

Were you messing with your dragon's balls again?

[fourstars]

Oh, no, I haven't touched the dragon balls lately.

[ Swing and a miss. ]

Not here

[deafleppard]

[But she totally had a "snrrrk" moment.]

[prettycoolguy]

Is anything else different?

[ This smells like a Time Trapper shenanigan and the Chief's going to try and figure that out. ]

[fourstars]

I mean, that's... pretty much it. I remember being older, but only being older here. Not home.

[prettycoolguy]

Then it sounds like the Trapper, not a medical concern.

[ Be relieved, Gohan. Even though Chief's the one bringing it up.]

[ Well, so much for all that nice sleep she was getting. ]

What're you yelling about? [ Videl rubs her eyes blearily. She didn't quite catch his exact words, just his yelling. ]

[video]

[fourstars]

Videl, look in a mirror.

[notwithoutafight]

[ Videl drags herself out of bed and checks a mirror. ]

[ And shrieks. ]

WHAT HAPPENED? WHY AM I A KID AGAIN?

[mercurypowermakeup]

Memories of being older in the past...but now you're younger....

[She's thinking hard on this. How in the heck is that supposed to happen. You can see the gears turning in her mind.]

That almost doesn't seem possible, but this place seems to have the impossible happen quite often, judging by all of us here.

[fourstars]

I mean, it's theoretically possible. Even if the events are from different points in time, so long as they follow some kind of sequence, it's still technically linear...

... But this was not how I wanted that sort of thing confirmed.

[ He pauses for a moment. ]

... Actually. I think that's it. I don't remember the original sequence, but I remember the current one.

[mercurypowermakeup]

I'm not sure if time is fully linear. I would need to speak with Sailor Pluto more.

[Ami thinks for a few moments.]

Still, this is rather odd. You remember being older, yet you're younger now. Has this happened to anyone else?

[deafleppard]

Well.

This sure is awkward.

[fourstars]

Tell me about it.

[deafleppard]

So uh

How you doing?
