I'mma come outta mah room now [OTA]

[drainingtouch]

She'd been hiding, not because she was powerless, not because she didn't know what was going on, not because she was scared. No. She was hiding because my god, if it wasn't hard being a teenager again

*El entered the mess hall, he pant legs dragging on the floor and her sleeves scrunched up to reveal her hands. This was frustrating. She spotted a girl she'd never met before and was now confused: was she actually a teenaged girl or was she under the effects of... whatever had reverted her back to a nine year old. Shrugging, El walked further into the room and sat in an empty seat.*

Hello.

*God, she sounded so... so... little.*

[drainingtouch]

Turning her head, Rogue stopped and stared. Pretty obvious about it too. "Um, hey." She had to figure out if this was a new girl, or a girl from before turned into a kid. Since she'd seen Pyro as a kid, it was totally possible.

"Is that you as always, or have ya been messed with an' woke up bein' littler again?" Rogue asked, her accent heavier in her youth.

[silverhypnosis]

Um... *Something about this girl was familiar... her accent. She was part of the group that had gone to St Petersburg.*... I woke up like this.

*El's feet dangled off the chair, unable to reach the floor.*

I'm El.

Ah, so she must've been one of the blonde girls who were around camp. "Rogue. Little younger than usual, Rogue." She wondered if that made her Marie again, but didn't bother saying anything.

She didn't have her powers, but then, she was grateful for it. "So, it's kinda," Rogue searched for the word to describe what this was. Weird didn't cover it, and freaky was a little less than intended to, "different." That worked.

[silverhypnosis]

And age reversion of 19 years is definately different.

*She smiled at Rogue.*

Do you think if I drink coffee, if we ever go back to normal, it'll have stunted my growth?

[drainingtouch]

Rogue giggled at the comment, laughing into the back of her hand and moving to hook her hair behind her ears, only then realising that it was so much shorter. "Ah'd think y'd be okay. But then, who knows when it'll go back. Might be a week, might be a year."

And that was a scary thought. Almost. If it took a year to go back, Rogue wouldn't be around Cody, so she couldn't absorb him. And that would mean she grew up without him in her head.

"Now ya gone an' got me thinkin' 'bout differences." Rogue said, frowning slightly.

[silverhypnosis]

Sorry. I'm sure someone'll figure out what happened.

*She hoped.*

But for now, I might stick to milky, weak coffees just to be safe.

"Well, y' might as well. Ain't like y'r height's a big issue when y'r like, what? Nine?" Teenage woes were more to do with. And Rogue was more interested in Rictor being old, or a kid, or whatever, and maybe Remy.

God, she hoped Remy wasn't like a toddler or something. That would just be gross. And scary. And just a touch dangerous.

"Ya seen Rictor around here? Or is he like, unrecognisable now or somethin' too?"

[silverhypnosis]

I was never really that tall anyway. And currently, I can only reach the low cupboard with the cups. The mugs are up to high.

*She scowled, remembering having to get Talia to make her drink.*

Um.. I haven't seen him, not for a while. If I do, I'll tell him you're looking for him.

[drainingtouch]

"That'd be great, thanks." And now Rogue really did need some food.

"Ya want somethin' ta drink? Ah gotta make mahsel' a sandwich before mah stomach starts growlin' again."

[silverhypnosis]

That'd be nice, thank you.

*El smiled.*
