[for the first time in weeks, Menzies stands on the Plane looking completely like her normal self. her eyes aren't glowing, she's not sniffly or congested, and there is no rash on her neck. she's wearing a suit like usual, but today it's unruffled, and her hair is pulled back neatly. and most of all, she can see]

[she cups her hands around her mouth, making a shouted announcement at anyone in the area] Oi, anybody who's been sick from that blue pollen! We've found a way to stop it!

[lowering her hands, she waits a moment for anyone who means to approach before explaining:] Think about the symptoms: sneezing, itching, a rash--it's like an allergy. So 'ow do you deal with it? Allergy medicine. If you've got it in your world, get some and take it. If not, we'll get it for you. After that, whatever's wrong will slowly disappear.

[she smiles, relieved and thrilled that they've solved something for once] And it'll be over.

[ooc: Feel free to use this as a mingle post and thread-hop to help each other. Let's solve the plot together!]

...yeah. Think this will fade? This really right up there in creepy land. [He waves off the hand as he breathes in. The red light whispers in the air, as his breathes gets even and deep.]

It's cool. I'm fine, that was a head rush.

[grip_on_reality]

[she's not sure if he means the red light or the knowledge of the other universe, but she nods] It should do, but I'm guessing you're gonna remember it.

Ah yeah, must've been. [she's not sure what it would feel like to suddenly drop in height like that. but she withdraws her hand, taking his word for it]

*breathing

Probably. Just my luck with weird shit like this. It's not even a hey maybe you will, maybe you won't. Nope. Just good old suck it up and deal with it Dave.

[It's not the height part, or the age. It's the sudden snap of time within him, and his ability to control it on a much greater level than his alternate self could.]

[grip_on_reality]

[wryly] I think it's all our luck. Just part of coming to the Astral Plane!

[moveslikestrider]

Was happening even before that. But I see what you're getting at. [He straightens up with a breath and while he HAD reverted to being a kid again. He wasn't as short as before. In fact, he looked a year older than last time.]

[grip_on_reality]

[she frowns when he straightens because something's...off. he didn't used to be that tall, did he? she frowns] Dave, just 'ow long 'as it been since the last time I saw you?
