thusia | [Deaging Event Start!]

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.]

[ shrugs ]

They do need doctors for warzones.

[considers this, picking at the edge of his shirt]

If I did become a doctor, was I a good one? Like, did I help people?

. . . Yes. You did.

My mother died because a doctor couldn't get to the house in time. We were out in the country. At least, that's what they told me.

[as if this explains why his question was so important]

You won't let people down. Not like that.

[nods]

I hope so.

I know it.

Do you solve mysteries here, Mr. Holmes?

[looking around]

Whenever there are mysteries involved.

Is life really full of so many mysteries? You never run out of them?

There are always some mysteries around.

Is it ever dangerous? [please say yes, please say yes]

Oh, all the time.

Brilliant.

Can I come along?

[ . . . ]

As you are now?

Why not? I'm brave.

[tries to stand up taller]

Of course you are, but you do not meet my height requirements.

You don't have a height requirement!

Of course I do. Weren't you listening?

I think you're just making it up. Why would a consulting detective need a height requirement?

It's not always safe.

[grins]

So?

[ grins ]

Indeed.

[looks thoughtful and then automatically takes Sherlock's hand]

I've got a good mystery for us right now.

Do you now?
