[Oh, hey, seems like someone's finally figured out how to use the camera function on his omnicomm! He's just. Older. A lot older.]

For the record, I blame Gohan and Videl for this. We were just fine until they started jumping and skipping up and down the timeline.

It's pretty obvious what's going on, so let's not have a bunch of people freak out over someone being younger than they should be. Kids, don't do anything stupid. Adults, keep an eye out for the kids. Business as usual. We've been at this for over half a year now, no reason to fuck it up just because the status quo's been shaken a bit.

You make it sound like we have any control over this.

[kingtyrantranger]

You're pretty much Patient Zero, kid.

[fourstars]

... Alright, that's fair.

Since when are you rated above PG?

[Yeah, that's the important part here. Thanks, Cortana.]

[kingtyrantranger]

[At least he can laugh at that.]

C'mon, I'm not seventeen anymore.

[steelandtemper]

[You realize her partner is pushing 50 and has never said anything more profane than "damn," right.]

Look, where I'm from, the seventeen-year-olds just got out of boot, and the drill instructors taught them a whole lot of new words.

This morning I was a lot older, suddenly I'm younger than when I got here! Why is this happening so fast?

I let the hem out on my robes and now they're way too big to wear.

[kingtyrantranger]

Hey, relax. It's probably temporary. I'm a bit, uh. Scruffier than I was this morning, so you're not alone. A lot of us are going through some changes, but we'll be all right, okay?

Go see the Athramites and get your robes hemmed up again.

Hey . . . so. Can we get some Cliff's Notes for those of us who don't speak Time Travel?

[Or for those of us who are seventeen and freaked the hell out. Whatever.]

[kingtyrantranger]

Right, so. One of the local geniuses could probably explain it better, but something's trying to throw us off our game by playing with the timestream.

[If he wasn't so sure she was dead, he'd suspect Rita. Or maybe Zedd. More likely the Time Trapper, though.]

The 'hows' aren't important. Let's just say that some of us are younger than we should be and some of us are older and leave it at that. Things are probably going to return to normal and we can all laugh about this later over a few drinks. If it's permanent, well. We have some issues.

Anyway, I've handled stuff like this before. Our best bet is just to keep a cool head and make sure no one panics over what's going on. Think you can handle that?

I feel like I just saw a disney princess shotgun a beer or something.

[ Seriously. Jason is- if not an inadvertent sentinel of sincere wholesome goodness, pretty goddamn close. ]

[kingtyrantranger]

Hey!

[He almost sounds offended, there.]

I was Prince Eric at the least.

[whyarewehere]

Nice beard, dude.

[kingtyrantranger]

Thanks.

[walkingballpit]

Jason...?

[ Robbie blinks a few times. He himself hasn't changed a bit, so this all very weird. ]


How many people did whatever it was hit? I went into my quarters for two minutes and the world went crazy.

[kingtyrantranger]

Probably about a third of the team. It's how these things go. If it isn't all of us, it's just under half of us.

Sooner rather than later would be best.

[kingtyrantranger]

Hey, if it were under my control I'd have fixed things already.

How's everyone on your end of the social pool?

[deafleppard]

I don't know how to feel about anything anymore.

Rocking that beard, though.

[walkingballpit]

Checking in on the Tights Brigade. Do yours still fit properly?

[kingtyrantranger]

At least I learn how to take care of my eyebrows in the future.

The beard hides great secrets, like my chubby cheeks.

[ There's so many things for Videl to be mad about, but the foremost one is that she's once again stuck on the odd side of the age spectrum from her friend. ]

Okay sure, so since I'm young again, now you're older? That's not funny, Jason!

[video]

[kingtyrantranger]

Like you're one to complain, kiddo! You and Gohan probably got us all sick with time spiders or something.

[At least he has a sense of humor about it.]

[resist_the_future]

Are you going to be alright?

[Look, Jason. She's worried about you. Kind of.]

[kingtyrantranger]

Yeah, this is fine. I've got a few extra aches and pains, but I can slap on some patches for that.

How're you holding up?
