+ I Bet You Didn't Expect Dinosaurs +

[vitaelamorte]

As Tweedledee and Tweedledum announced yesterday, there is a new event this weekend!

Please use this event post for plotting. We know that Plurk and Discord are convenient, but not everyone has access to them, and even those who do often won't catch everything there is to read across so many channels and timelines. By keeping plotting to our event posts, all players can be included and will have a better overview of what will be going on throughout the event in general.

Thank you! We’ll also have a Q&A thread here for any questions, as usual.

[vitaelamorte]

Here for all of your question answering needs!

[passingthrough]

I'm having trouble following this sentence. "They've de-aged to just after that event occurred and their memories will extend only up to the time shortly either immediately or not long afterward." Is it saying their memories can stop just before the trauma or right after it?

Kitty Pryde

[passingthrough]

She'll be 13, barely understands her powers, and her parents were just murdered by soldiers who were looking to abduct her. So...she has that going for her? And it's before she had any battle training or experience. The world was just starting to erupt in violence so up until this point she's just been a genius who loved working on computers and dancing. But she's also known she's a mutant and been hiding it for a short time. She'll probably be pretty upset and nervous and trying to keep it together and dinosaurs are kind of cool but also what?!

So, people/thoughts/ideas welcome.

Re: Kitty Pryde

[modore]

I'm not sure what should go down, but actually-an-adult-Satoru can meet younger Kitty?

Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Steven Universe

[moraloutrage]

So I think neither of my characters will be subject to the deaging process! Both of them are pretty close to the most traumatic parts of their life as it is. So they'll be at their normal ages and be available to try to help those who are turned into kid forms.

They may interact with the dinosaur part of the event as well! Tentatively depending on what other details might up about the dinosaurs, Steven Universe in particular may try to befriend/ride them, while Kiyotaka Ishimaru may try to study them from a distance, and possibly try to interact with some of them in a much more apprehensive manner than Steven.

[trabryu]

Time to impress your younger brother, Ishimaru. And riding dinos with Steven sounds fun...

Seth Gecko and Wendy Corduroy

[screwedontight]

Seth: When Seth was about 8, his brother killed their abusive, horrible, monster of a father with a house fire that they escaped from. So that will be when Seth is de-aged to. Moments after a house fire where his father is trapped, and where is his brother?! He's foul mouthed, abused, dangerously trained with weapons and probably won't be in the best of minds.

Wendy: Will so be hanging out with dinos! OMG why not, dude, dinos. Also, please stop her if you want, since she will probably show little fear because, right, dinos.

[charlastan]

LET'S GO PUNCH SOME DINOSAURS!!!

Souji, Naoki, and Satoru

[eatsyourscience]

Souji's going to remain normal. He'll be looking after a tiny Minato at least part of the time, but he'll still be around doing normal Souji things, in case anyone wants to interact with him!

Naoki's also going to remain normal. He will run around and inspect dinosaurs and talk to people who are suddenly younger. :|a

And finally, Satoru! Satoru is de-aging to just after his mom was killed. So he'll actually be an adult for the duration of the event. He'll obviously have no clue what is going on and will be pretty cranky about it.

[jivitadana]

All of the oniichans, please! ;o;

I'm looking forward to Satoru too which is going to be awesome! Poor him though. ;o;

Pepper Potts!

[redheadpepper]

So uh... y'all want to interact with a superpowered Pepper, right? RIGHT!

Basically Pepper will be reverting about three years in her timeline, to moments after the climax of Iron Man 3. If you have seen that movie, you know exactly what I'm talking about.



That's right, she's got Extremis. So basically, she just got kidnapped, injected with a superpower serum against her will (which was tantamount to torture), also she fell 200 feet but survived because superpowers, and then she murderized the guy who did all this to her! Also, the Extremis is unstable which means she will be terrified of blowing up! Please do not touch her!

If someone gets in trouble with the dinos, though, my dearest wish is for Pepper to save someone from being eaten or something!!! Other than that, I want all your ideas!

TIM WRIGHT + FRISK

[determinedest]

i had quite a selection of options here so i had to settle upon two particular canonpoints for both these wee beans. and they will be, indeed, quite wee!

TIM will be coming from a point in time where his illness was just starting to become apparent. Things had been building to that point, but a healthy dose of denial, originating from both himself and his mother, had fended off the worst of it. Monsters could be dismissed as imaginary, coughing and chills could be dismissed as cold symptoms, and so on. But then he has a legitimate epileptic seizure for the first time, and it's safe to say that this is one of the significant tipping points, and it'll be right off the heels of this that he'll be showing up. He'll be something around six or seven years old - we get a timetable as to when he started receiving treatment, but we don't know how long it took for him to get to that point - and on the cusp of the realization that his life is about to change a great, terrifying deal. A confused, traumatized, very freaked out kid with no understanding as to his own mental illness, who still can dismiss tall men in suits as make believe.

FRISK. Why would you ever climb a mountain like that? That is the big question, and it'll be the lead-in to that climb that sticks with them. Don't expect them to talk about it, or bring it up at all, but there might be minute implications of the unhappy sort of reasons behind why they climbed. As they stand at the very edge of the summit of Mt. Ebott, heels scraping at the abyss, they turn around and look to the sky - and here is where Wonderland will find them.

Two (2) small, sad children at your service! One will be six/seven-ish and very vocally freaked, and the other will be eleven/twelve-ish and very subdued. Take your pick!

PLOT COMMENT

[determinedest]

dont touch this is for Ideas

Asriel Dreemurr

[pleasereset]

Asriel will be deaged to the moment of his death. But for the sake of him not just eating it the moment he deages, it’ll be right during his showdown with the villagers. Which means he’ll be badly hurt and terrified of any humans (and freaked out that he doesn’t have Chara’s SOUL anymore).

» PEGGY CARTER

[mucked]

here's an easy one: peggy carter won't be de-aging at all for this event, but she'll have a miserablewonderful time dealing with other characters' fallout. not to mention, uhm, dinosaurs!! so hit me up if you have something specific in mind or if you'd like to spitball. otherwise, i'll toss her around over the event's duration and play it a bit by ear!

[hypoxic]

I don't know where or how this is going to happen, but I need fitz and peggy in my life at all times hello

Minato

[jivitadana]

Minato's event! :D

Minato will be de-aged to six years old after his parents died in a car crash and he survived. He'll be wandering the mansion and hanging out in various places around the mansion, first at the diner with Souji, but then he'll be in a tearoom, the music room, and the library. He won't be recognizing any of the mansion or any people though, which will be unsettling. Because of that along with his trauma, he might be shy and kind of sad, but he doesn't want to be alone, so anyone hanging out with him would be welcome!

About the dinosaurs, Minato won't be going outside to see them on his own since he won't be brave enough for it, but if someone invites him outside, he'll go. He does want to check them out, but not alone, is all. :D

Happy to plot with anyone! I'll have an open post for him too!

[moraloutrage]

Ishimaru could keep an eye on bitty Minato and spend time with him possibly! I also have Steven Universe now, who would be willing to take him out to see the dinos!

Rip Hunter

[directed]

So Rip Hunter canonically spent ages 5 through about 10 on the streets of London as a cutpurse who, in his own words, starved more than he ate. During that time he became a stabby little fellow who wasn't at all afraid to cut someone who tried to hurt him. The exact events of that period, however, aren't really defined any further than that, so!

Rip will be de-aged to about eight years old, from 1871 London (Whitechapel to be exact), an orphan and a thief who is just coming off the heels of losing a bad fight to someone he thought was a friend and having what little he had taken from him. This means he won't be the friendliest kid, although he can put on an act. More importantly, he'll be trying to sneak around pickpocketing from people or breaking into rooms to find what goods he can.

Also, he'll have no idea who Rip Hunter is; rather, he'll be going by Michael Carter.

I am more than happy to have him break into places, be awed by all the magic and technology that shouldn't exist, steal precious items that he WILL be returning as an adult, oops--and of course, be caught during all of this. Oh, and wondering at the existence of dinosaurs because what the hell is this place even.

[shslliar]

You had Kokichi at breaking into rooms and stealing from people.

Need someone who can pick a lock?

Kokichi Oma

[shslliar]

Kokichi won't be de-aging for this event because he just got back from a canon update full of trauma. However, that does not stop him from pretending to be a traumatized child and making up sob stories to confuse people. I apologize profusely in advance.

When he's not doing his scared little kid act, he'll be checking on any close CR that really did become traumatized children and also going to see the dinosaurs. It's like Jurassic Park... Wait. Yeah, he'll also be lowkey stocking up on tazers and stuff in case raptors break into the mansion.

Kon, Georgia, Dipper

[cloned]

Kon is going to get shot way back to very shortly after he was first cloned, so he's like a week old or so. Specifically he'll be wearing this iconic super cool costume and haircut. Also he just accidentally got a daily planet reporter killed in a helicopter due to being a negligent showboat. Oops? And don't call him Superboy, call him SUPERMAN. Also don't call him Kon or Conner cause he'll just look at you in confusion. He doesn't have either of those names yet.

Georgia will be deaged to right after she realized her parents don't really love her, so she'll be very tiny, very mistrustful of anyone who isn't Shaun, and very snarky. She also will be very confused by all the dinosaurs and BEING HERE AT ALL but like a small child, she'll probably roll with it pretty well. That being said, she'll definitely threaten to blog about this.

Dipper prooooobably won't get deaged since while he's had trauma, it's all been recent enough that it wouldn't make much difference to toss him back in time. Unless I did Valentines Day or something. That being said, he's dealt with dinosaurs before. He's got this.

additional plots comment - please don't reply here!

[cloned]

Wirt, Stan, and Kayo plotting!

[charlastan]

WIRT is deaging to roughly six years old, just after his parents got divorced and he and his mom moved out. He can probably initially be found crying because he's in a scary new place, but he and Greg will eventually go have dinosaur adventures and it'll be great.

STAN is deaging to seventeen years old, just after he was kicked out for accidentally breaking his brother's science fair project that would have gotten him a scholarship to a good college. He'll be clutching a duffel bag for dear life, freaking out that he's suddenly in a new place right getting literally shoved to the curb, and what the fuck there are dinosaurs. He'll be pretty scared too, but will probably assume that either this is a dream or he's had some kind of psychotic break MAYBE NONE OF THAT WAS REAL MAYBE HE'S DEAD WHO KNOWS??? He's. He's going to have a hell of a time adjusting to all this. I...may also be looking for an opportunity for him to punch a dinosaur in the face.

KAYO is not deaging because she's already 11, and will mostly be dealing with Satoru deaging in reverse because time always has to be complicated with him. She'll...keep a safe distance from the dinosaurs, but be in total awe of them.

[charlastan]

Comment for edits! Please reply to the top-level instead!

Daisy Johnson

[morethan084]

Well aside from her hair being a lot longer and looking a few years younger, Daisy is going by the name Skye. Which is what she named herself before she knew anything about her past and what her actual birth name was. She'll be going back to around 25 years old and recovering from a massive gun shot wound that left her with a perforated stomach and dealing with a major surgery and almost losing her life. She's also not an Agent of SHIELD yet and is lacking her normal power.

JANE DOE, CLAIRE FRASER, MICHONNE, HENRY MILLS

[endingpoint]

Jane is aging down to 5 years old. At this point, she was asleep in her bed when her parents were brutally murdered downstairs. She was taken by the hand, led past their bodies and kidnapped, however she'll 'arrive' in Wonderland after that. Young Jane will be confused and scared, and Peggy Carter will, at some point, come to her rescue. She will have an open post so she'll be available for a lot!

Claire is zooming back in time to just after nearly died in childbirth. She will need medical attention but there will be themes of child loss and she would obviously still look pregnant. But as soon as she's healed up (even in a hand-waved fashion, she will be available. This also means she'll still know Jamie. She will also have an open post.

Michonne is no aging down at all, and she will not have an open post but point me in the direction of anyone who needs saving from a dino, or a little who needs looking after, and she can be there.

Henry will also not age down and will not have an open post but again, same as above. Point me where you want me and he's yours!

[morethan084]

Skye will totally want to protect Jane.

Also if Henry wants to deal with v confused daisy who is younger, doesn't have her power and goes by the name Skye...I'm here for it.

undyne and david

[yelloweyed]

soooo

undyne was traumatized pretty recently, but she has another option! shell be deaging to be a young kid, freshly down one eye due to an accident while playing in the garbage dump. shell be twice as rambunctious as usual, soooo watch out for that. she will want to play with the dinosaurs

david has an entire life of trauma to choose from, but i think im leaving him where hes at so hell be unaffected. i still need to work on establishing him more so hes free to wrangle any kids that are around

Turing and Papyrus

[kingtrousele]

Turing can't exactly de-age, being a robot and all, so they'll mostly be wandering around this strange new place that has a bunch of dinosaurs in it, trying to comprehend what's going on. What is this strange place? Are these dinosaurs actually real?? So much new information to process!

Papyrus also will not be de-aging, especially considering I kind of picked him up right when he was started to go through a traumatic event of his own. Still, not having any memories of Wonderland will also mean that he's back to square one - he'll be roaming around, trying to find familiar faces and a way back to the underground, trying not to freak out that he's not in the castle and what the state of the underground is. He also still believes that all of his friends are on 'vacation', so. At the very least, however, he'll be willing to protect others from these dinosaurs, should anyone get into any trouble! A great king must protect others, after all!

THIS ASSHOLE.

[scathefires]

oh my god enjoy having terrible just-murdered-and-resurrected sixteen-year-old jason running around, y'all.



tl;dr if you think he has no chill now, wait until you see what he was like then. COME AT ME.

[mrsarcastic003]

A small and frightened child is headed straight your way.

Enjoy.

Shaun and Tim

[adaptiveimmunities]

Shaun will be deaged to just around the time he finds out that his parents never loved him and that being a family was all just a ploy to get more ratings (so about 6 or 7). He will be distrustful, have lots of attitude, and be trying to figure out what that means for him going forward. He will be very attached to George, and suspicious of just about everyone else. And wondering where the cameras are because this is obviously some ply of their parents. But dinosaurs are cool, can he ride one?

Tim will be deaged as well, to shortly after he witnesses the double murder of Dick's parents. He is about three, extremely confused, and unable to reach things on tall shelves. Or counters. He will also have screaming nightmares, and be looking for a familiar adult to help him. Someone please be a familiar adult for him. Or unfamiliar but friendly. Something.

FREYA, KIMBERLY, DRIZELLA

[deathlessness]

Freya will be aged down to five years old, just before she was taken from her mother by her Aunt Dahlia, so she will be a very tiny girl with magic she can't quite control. I'm sure it will be fine. I'm not planning on having an open post for her, so if you would like a thing with her, let me know and I will throw up a starter!

Kimberly will not be deaged, but will be around for all your dinosaur punching needs.

Drizella will be deaged, to about twelve years old, just before her sister and stepsister fall through the ice and her sister dies. She will possibly have an open post, but I haven't quite decided what will be going down with her so we'll see what happens. Either way, if you want her, I can throw up starters.

[spiritofgoodness]

Hello, Snow will want to adopt baby Drizella. I feel like there's some kind of...information to be gathered by context clues from this, lol.

Toriel

[didntknowbest]

Toriel will be from during the War between humans and monsters- specifically, just after her family had been killed in the war.

She hasn't really had any time to process it, and trauma is something still fresh and new to her at this age! So she's not exactly handling it great, and will likely be extremely untrusting, wary, scared, and angry at any humans she meets.

[ngah]

THROWS KID UNDYNE AT HER
heres a monster you can trust toriel also shes a nightmare child thats fine right?

Legion

[forwearemany]

The only truly traumatic event I can really think of for Legion isn't that interesting, so they'll be staying as they are. They'll probably try to help others they come across who have been de-aged, so hit me up if you want to have a kind of scary robot come to your rescue!

Sans, Rick and Mae

[punful]

Sans will be de-aged to a sad, confused twenty-something. He'll be coming from immediately after his old boss's death/disappearance from existence itself, so his memories will be scrambled, and he'll be trying to get the hang of a newly-acquired teleportation ability. He'll be accidentally teleporting all over the place with barely any control over it. He'll be somewhat more hopeful as his younger self, but also a bit more haunted, considering he just witnessed the wholesale erasure of his friend and mentor.

He'll also be freaking out (in a good way) about being on the Surface and will probably try to talk science to anyone who's willing to listen.

Mae will be de-aged to about fifteen, right after the "incident" that she became infamous for in her hometown. At the time, Mae had a dissociative episode and attacked another teenager, putting him in the hospital. Mae is going to be scared, easily distracted, reserved and utterly terrified of herself and her own emotions. She won't be going anywhere near her favorite baseball bat. And she'll also be completely terrified about all the non-animal shaped people around and wondering if she's going insane.

Rick might be de-aged, although I'm still in the process of coming up with an idea for him. Not much is known about his younger years in canon, so I might pull from some headcannony stuff. He'll be very interested in the dinosaurs, though, so I'm thinking Rick will probably just do more dinosaur-related stuff than age-related stuff.

[shslliar]

Kokichi will tell Mae that pretty much everyone came in as an animal person, but slowly turned into a human. I apologize.

Wynonna

[middlefinger]

Wynonna is going to be aged down to twelve years old, right after the homestead was invaded by the revenants, her older sister Willa was kidnapped, and she accidentally killed her father by shooting him when she was trying to save him from the revenants. She's expecting to be sent away to a psychiatric ward for kids so needless to say she's going to be pretty skittish and afraid with a lot of adults, especially worried that if she tells them what happened, they won't believe her. Because nobody back in Purgatory did. That being said, I think it could be great for Wynonna long term if she did tell someone what happened and they believed her about it. That's something I would be very much interested in -- especially as this isn't something she's opened to most of her cr about so it could lead to a lot interesting aftermath after the event as well.

She'll be pretty scrappy though and protective of any younger kids she comes across.

casually comments from wrong account

[spiritofgoodness]

Sarah and Wynonna can be baby friends. /lays here

Sarah will be 9ish and 100% believe anything Wynonna tells her so LAY IT ON HER.
