dn: Otto Octavius | video

[Otto seems harried, clearly walking very quickly down the street as he posts. This is just a quick message anyway:]

Please tell me there's someone else out there who's still their normal age?

Threaded | Flat

[Well that's interesting. Interesting enough for him to respond, complete with video. So Otto knows it's him.]

Why would there be people out there not like that?

Oh good, it's not just me.

Do I count?

I am! ...I think. If I had been drafted I might not even realize it.

I am, but my normal age is just barely adult, so it might not help much.

Otto, thank god. I know I'm not the oldest adult here or anything but I'm...you know, still an adult.

[ He hasn't been home so HE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HIM ]

[ he raises his hand, looking tired. ]

I am. I might also be able to help reverse the spell on people, though I wouldn't want to try it large-scale.

Rollcall. I'm here.

Also this is magic, which I can't really fix but I can corral the kids in one spot. Probably.

[Peter is tuning in just to wave a hand at the camera with a small, sheepish smile, indeed looking very normal. If he got aged up or down at all, it's... not showing.]

Present.

[So the problem with immortality of the sort he's involved in is that at a certain point you don't stop physically aging. It's a point very close to the end of the teenage years. Which were a few decades ago for him (the second time around, even). So the only way he knows something is different is that his clothing no longer fits quite right and his hair isn't quite as long when he goes to put it up in the morning.]

I believe I was hit, but not as drastically as some perhaps? I've barely changed in appearance and my memories have not been altered.

I am!

[Of course, her profile picture makes it pretty clear that her normal age is just the age everyone's being turned into, so that's probably not helpful. ]

Any idea on why this is happening though?
