[Deaging Event Start!]

[oi_theoi]

Who: Leedin, people who do favors for gods, gawkers. The usual
When: Day 72, evening
Where: 4th floor, near the shrines
What: De-aging event and an industrious goddess.

[You might hear the click and clatter of wood against wood near the shrines. Leedin is working at a spinning wheel. Of course, most people don't manipulate several others via magic as they go.]

I have been asked to assist in the cleaning of the public spaces. If you wish to assist me, please take a spindle -- a full one -- and carry it with you. It will temporarily remove some of the elapsed time of your life and store it within the thread. After a couple of days, I should have enough to restore one of the buildings here. Or another space.

[She stops work and swaps out the full spindles for empty ones.]

Also, do be careful until I have finished. This sort of work does… relax… the way that time flows. There may be pockets of odd effects in less settled areas.

[OOC: Rules

[Taking an spindle will cause you to regress in age. It will be a full, physical change: any scars, tattoos, missing limbs, magical transformations, etc. will be reversed if you age your character down past when those happened.

[Characters can either mentally stay the same age they are, or age up/down to match their new physical age. Similarly, memories of being an adult may be vague or even impossible to remember for children. Your call -- whatever's fun. Whether they retain the memories of being de-aged after the fact is up to you.

[Leedin will take care of details like clothing, because that's in her domain, and she's a neat freak like that. The effect will also wear off if they return a spindle to her (or you can join later).

[Characters not inclined to volunteer when goddesses ask for donations can be caught in a pocket of odd time.

[This will last an OOC week.]

Then how can we explain the accelerated aging?
