[Bart has gotten clothes that fit and has finished internally flipping out enough that he can handle making a console post. He saw how crazy the posts had been earlier, and he was so not up for that. ]

Anyone who points out the obvious and says omigod you're older will be ignored until I figure out how to ban them.

[um. Maybe he's still not all that up for it.]

Has everyone been accounted for? I know a lot of people are in a tizzy right now, but... there's people I haven't seen in the past 24 hours, and I really want to make sure there's no 9 month olds crawling into a well.

[There's a little cringe at the thought.]

Sorry for the mental image. In other news, I'm thinking of teaming up with Dick to make chili cheese dogs. Anyone have suggestions for meat and preservative substitutes?



[Private to Dinah]

If you aren't spitting fireballs or glowing like Three Mile Island or dealing with extra body parts and you're between the ages of say 16 and 50, could you squeeze me in for a few lessons at the Dojo? Might as well get something out of all of this.

[encrypted 50% to Barry]

I... kinda need a favor. Zee's spell screwed with more than ages, and Tim's a little hyper. It's not a good look on someone that uptight and wound. So - look, I know that there's probably nothing you can do, but if you could drop by, I'd owe you one. We're at ME-2B.

[He rubs at the back of his neck. Bart really hates having to ask for help. It's like admitting that they can't handle it. Plus, it's Barry, so it really doubles that. He doesn't want to look like a screw up in front of the Flash, especially when Barry barely knows him so there's not a huge body of evidence to be judged on. The lack of a relationship makes asking for a favor even harder. He feels like he's being an intrusion.]

You know, if you have time.

[Private to Kon]

You wanna just crash here for now? I'd feel better about this whole deal.

[Encrypted to Tim; 50%]

Stop eavesdropping and hacking. I know you're doing it. Don't lie. You're bored.

[Baseline encryption to Hayley]

[He's had some time to cool off and draw some parallels to friends of his, and now Bart feels like mud for crapping on her friendship, sven if it WAS Lex.]

I'm sorry about what I said the other day. It's not fair to judge him on what he was in my world. Maybe he'll never be that. I hope that's the case.

[Finding clothes was an interesting experience, but the widespread nature of the problem meant it didn't turn out to be too embarrassing.]

Just one extra body part. I don't think it will get in the way.

[backinakidflash]

[While he has had no trouble coming up with things to say some of the other spell victims, someone who's so matter of fact about their brand new penis leaves him a little dumbstruck.]

Uh. No, probably not. Is later today okay?

[Dinah's a big boy/girl; she can figure out about protection without help. She's probably seen G.A.'s cup a million times - that thought actually just happened. Will someone put Bart or today out if his misery?

Video; private

[raptorcanaria]

[This is not even close to being the weirdest thing that has ever happened to her. Definitely not the weirdest thing involving Zatanna's magic. It's really just another Wednesday, in a way.]

Later today is fine. Say, around two?

[She doesn't say anything about the way he is staring like he's just had an inappropriate thought. It's much more entertaining to just smirk.]

[Ignore the smoke.]

Alright, sure. You want me to get anything?

[Video - Private]

[backinakidflash]

Don't waste your time with the breath. You still can't manage it, as far as I know.

[Otherwise ignoring the smoke.]

I'd say 40 feet of industrial chain, but he's no Zoom.

[Video - Private]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Way lame. [He didn't mean it. Apparently actually having some additional powers doesn't mean he has complete control. Sucks.]

I can maybe manage about 12 feet of rope or five of chain this short notice.

[SPAM]

[mrsarcastic003]

[It's early. Earlier than Tim is usually awake, but apparently his sleep schedule is just as messed up as his everything else schedule, and sleeping any later just isn't going to happen.

Even though he's tried, and he really has, but lying in bed longer just isn't making sleep happen.

It's not until he's brushing his teeth after breakfast (what will probably only actually be first breakfast in reality) that he notices the problem. It's hard to call something like healing a problem, but it kind of is when it makes your body look completely unfamiliar. He has scars. Or he's supposed to, at least, and all but the nastiest and newest seem to have vanished overnight. Even those are significantly faded, and at this rate they probably won't last very long either.

He drops his toothbrush in the sink and sprints to find Bart, forgetting for the moment that a sprint is... probably not the best idea in a small space. He does manage to stop without hitting or going through a wall, though, and he grabs Bart's shoulder, shaking him awake.]

Bart! Bart, something's--weird!

[backinakidflash]

[This is the second day in a row that Tim has woken Bart up, and Bart is going to have to talk to him if it happens a third time. But that will come later, because getting woken up by shaking is enough to make anyone jolt up. When it's interrupting a nightmare, it's even worse, and Bart's suddenly awake and a little wild-eyed under the tangled mop of hair.

No, it's fine. It's only Tim being a spaz. He probably melted the fridge door shut or something. Bart rubs some of the sleep out of his eyes before he says anything, and even with that delay tactic, he still sounds groggy.]

Tim, wh- is it weirder than yesterday? Because if it's not weirder than me being older, you stealing my speed, people turning into other people or into other genders... if it's not weirder than that, I am pulling this blanket over my head and going back to sleep.

[mrsarcastic003]

[He pauses. Okay, no, in comparison to yesterday morning, this is just... personally weird, not wide-spread weird, and now he actually feels a little bad waking Bart up for this. Especially considering how much he usually cherishes his own sleep.]

It's not weirder than yesterday. It's. My scars are gone and it's weird.

[The last part comes out in more of a rush than he'd intended but he's kind of embarrassed now.]

[Encryption 50%]

[mrsarcastic003]

I can't help it. It's kind of hard to fill the... minutes.

[Encryption 50%]

[backinakidflash]

I'm not judging. I know how it goes. Betcha wish you'd been a little more patient with me.

[Encryption 50%]

[mrsarcastic003]

I'm gaining a bit of an understanding. Impulse makes a lot more sense to me right now.

video; anon- permanent onwards

[lookedtothestars]

[Here's a blond ten year old with a not entirely black eye. He's looking mostly curious, and slightly uneasy in his seat at one of the cafes. Tim wasn't the only one eavesdropping and hacking. But that could just be dismissed as ten year oldness and an inability to stay still.]

What's a chili cheese dog?

[The tables have turned, Bart.]

video

[backinakidflash]

[... Bart is starting to wonder if every face that he doesn't recognize is someone who's been yanked around on the age spectrum. But he can't spot any similarities, so he's left with just answering the question.]

It's a hot dog with chili on it. I don't think the cheese sauce they use can really be called a cheese; I'm pretty sure it has to be labelled a 'cheese product'. It wouldn't be the same with a real cheese.

Anyway, a chili cheese dog is one of the greatest foods known to man.

[lookedtothestars]

[Yanked around on the age spectrum? Yes. Someone you know to some extent? Also a yes. This might be semi-payback for the time with the tribbles. Have a dubious expression at the phrase 'cheese product'.]

If it isn't real cheese, doesn't it make that it imitation cheese?

[alpha_squad_leader]

[The video comes from Victor's suite but it's not the green dude on camera. Instead it's Billy on screen looking less distressed and more dressed than he was before.]

I started compiling a list of people and the crazy that's happened to them today you can check out for anyone that might be missing.

Re: [Video]

[backinakidflash]

[Bart nods. He's pretty sure it's Vic, from the console id, but he's not saying names to be safe.]

I'll be sure to check it out. I'm still kinda worried. Maybe I got zapped with someone else's paranoid tendencies.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

I wouldn't call it being paranoid. Considering that someone people have been turned into little kids and others are finding themselves with powers they never had before and probably can't fully control [Himself included.] it makes sense to be worried.

[andaway]

Ohmigod you're older!

[Disclaimer: Clark has always been a troll.]

[backinakidflash]

[The feed is running, but Bart is nowhere to be seen. After about ten seconds, he can be heard shouting somewhere.]

Tim! Will you go downstairs and SIT and block Clark's feed because I have NEVER been patient and I got zee-zapped and I think everyone thinks that I'm magically patient now!

[mrsarcastic003]

[There's a brief blur and then Tim is sitting in the seat. He gives him an apologetic smile.]

SorryClark.

[And disconnected. It will take some real work to reestablish the connection. 'Call Bruce' kind of work.]

voice; 50% encryption

[bolthead]

[The console ID is definitely right but the voice....is probably not, about an octave or two higher than usual. The appearance is also definitely not right, hence why Barry's sticking to voice for the time being.]

Of course. I've got plenty of time.

[The two of them are still on shaky ground, but Bart's family and that's all that matters when push comes to shove.]

There's probably...less that I can do for the next few days than usual, though. Just as a heads up.

[As if the voice wasn't enough of a giveaway.]

voice; 50% encryption [They need encryption. Not that it will help, Batman has Tim's place bugged]

[backinakidflash]

[It's really, really, really difficult to keep from actually hitting himself in the forehead or simply slamming his head down on the table. Zatanna screwed this up big time. He can't help muttering to himself though.]

I am going to kill Damian and Tim for jinxing this.

... it's still more than I can do right now.

audio; encrypted 60%

[everylittlegirl]

[Hayley will bump that encryption.]

You don't have to apologize. [It's the principle. Hayley really didn't consider Lex a friend.] Why the change of heart?

Re: audio; encrypted 60%

[backinakidflash]

Sure I do. [He was wrong - a little. Even if he thinks Lex is hopeless, Bart should have been nicer about it.]

And I was thinking about someone that I wish'd get a second chance to do the right thing. It's not completely the same - he started out okay.

Anyway. [He sounds eager to get that part of the conversation over with.] I just thought I owed you the apology. And since you had such a problem with anons not facing the consequences... I thought I'd drop that as well.

But for the record? I'm not afraid of the consequences.
