The Return of Time

[meat_mooks]

As the Clock was destroyed, all of the stolen time rushed back to it's original owners, causing them to rapidly age back to normal. But as the crew would soon notice, it seemed that the stolen time didn't always go back to exactly the right place...

[[ooc: Time to get back to normal guys! This is basically a case of very rapid ageing - they'll

Location: Hilde's House

Duo hadn't recognized this house the last time he'd snuck into it, planning on swiping food. He hadn't expected to meet someone who recognized him, either, but that was the only reason he hadn't come back here after that. He was too spooked by all these people who seemed to know him, and with the uneasy memories that had come with this particular encounter, he'd avoided this place the most, after that.

It was weird as an orphan, sneaking into a place that somewhere in the back of your mind registered as 'home'.

When Duo started reaging, the first few moments brought such a shock of pain to his system that he had doubled over where he'd been rooting around in an abandoned part of the City, gasping, tears streaming down his face.

Father... Sister...When he finally was to his senses enough to stumble back to Hilde's house (a good 7-8 years added to his stature), he was a moody mess, dark glower being tossed every which way as he stalked through the living room towards the back bedroom hall, heading for his room. There were still days

Hilde had been worried about Duo ever since he had ran off. She had caught a kid sneaking into the house before, but he ran as soon as she called out to him. There wasn't a need to steal food from here, it was his as well. She knew that the kid she had seen had been him, he had the same hair and eyes.

"Duo?" she called out quietly as she looked out into the hall from her own room. She really didn't know what was going on, but she was there for him, like she had been before when he ran off. She knew that he would come back eventually.

Either that or she'd find him in the hangar with Deathscythe. She was going to give him a little bit more time before she went looking for him, but now he was home.

Duo was in his room, changing back into clothes that fit- one of the saving graces of the weird plant suits that Stacy had clothed them all in was that it had shrunk and grown along with him; but he still didn't feel right without a real pair of pants on. As he sifted through his closet, he glanced bitterly at the white turtleneck and black overshirt- the faux frock he had worn as the God of Death- before tossing on a pair of black jeans and his favorite leather jacket over his plantsuit.

"Yeah, it's me," he called back, an agitated tone to his voice. He didn't really mean to lash out at her, but his head was a complete jumble right now. He flopped onto his bed, dipping his head in his hands and running fingers through his bangs.

"I'm glad you're back," she said as she leaned against the doorframe of his room. She had missed him when he ran off, but she knew that he would be back. He always came back, she just never knew when. She also had no clue what went on while he was gone. There was a lot that went on on the ship that she didn't understand. She just went along with it and cotinued to do what she needed to do.

"Do you want to talk about what happened?" she asked. She wasn't going to push him. She could tell that something was bothering him.

"Honestly, babe? Not really."

Flopping backwards onto his bed, he stared up at the ceiling with a blank frown. He wondered if she had noticed any of the missing food in the house. He'd maged to avoid being caught, he supposed; but he still remembered everything that had happened while his age had been reduced, including his thieving. It was weird to think about the temporary lapse in memory he'd had and how it had changed his point of view on the things he'd done in his future- or what was now his past.

"...About what I'd asked during the battle..." he started, not quite sure how to ask. Did she think he'd had a lapse in sanity, or what? "Well, how did things turn out in the end, anyway? I haven't heard anything from Kira or Celestial Being's pilots." Mostly because he'd avoided them while young.
