rubycity_ooc | Event -- Age up/down!

That's right, it's time for another event!

During Monday, March 11th, some the residents will start to feel a little strange. It won't be something they can put their fingers on, but at the stroke of midnight things will become clear. This prelude is completely optional even for those who will be affected by the rest of the event, but when the clock chimes, everyone who is opting in will face an age change.

From Tuesday, March 12th, there will be some new faces around the city - or, at least, they might look new, until you take a closer look. Some people are going to get younger, some will be older, and there'll no doubt be confusion all 'round!

You can be as creative as you like with how much you age your character up or down, and whether or not their mental state follows along with it. If you are ageing up, and wish your character to have been trapped in Ruby City for the number of years that you're adding on, that's absolutely fine, but please keep the mechanics of the city in mind if you are going to fabricate memories for them to fill that time period.

This event will run until the clock chimes midnight on the night of Friday, March 15, but feel free to backtag into the event if you miss it, or don't get to do everything that you might have wanted to.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: The consequences of any actions taken during this event are very real! When the residents return to their original ages at the event's end, they will also remember everything that they did while they were altered. If they do something stupid, they won't just be able to shrug it off and pretend they don't remember!

John will be aged up to his early twenties. P: which basically just means he's going to be older and renouncing liking even more of the things he used to enjoy as a young and foolish kid.

Although i guess he's probably a little chilled out from what he believes is years of living with Striders??? So he's like. Going to be Strider amounts of obnoxiously wordy and Egbert/early 20's amounts of absurdly judgemental!

peep

If someone needs to take up living space in his hood John probably won't even charge rent.

He might. He really might.

Everything is scary and big, John. It's scary and no one understands.

well....

he can stay john guesses. he's definitely long since over arguing with davesprite so it's not like he'll turn him away on the principal of YEAH BUT YOU'RE DAVESPRITE AND THAT GUY LEAVES LAME NOTES THAT REALLY GRIND MY GEARS

GET IT, GRIND MY GEARS, BECAUSE OF TIME :B

Years of living with Striders. I like this plan 8)

I imagine once he hit his upper teens he was like NO GUYS IM GONNA MOVE OUT. I'M GONNA DO IT. I'M. I'M GONNA.

And then he never did.

Dirk's just like 'yeah Egderp sure you will'.

he will!!!

eventually.

the event could potentially be a breaking point to jsut be like ok yall bitches are crazy bye. but that likely wont even be enough.

joooooohn, you now have to deal with a 3 year old jade, what do uwu Would John be any good with babies???

Well if how he handled things when he was but a wee baby is any indication... probably. As long as he can go find a stuffed animal to entertain her with.

If he can handle ecto kids and i am sure he can totally handle baby jade, just make sure she doesn't end up getting herself touching sharp pointy things

he can probably manage that. and hey let me just say since he can fly he's like THE ACTUAL BEST at doing "airplane" games with kids????

John, are you prepared to handle hot teenage adult Rose

are you

he's never been less ready for anything in his entire life.

good luck handling her sass and multi-colored hair

ur gonna need it

dont make him wrestle you and apply a beanie to that multi-coloured hair

....because i somehow believe that once john hits his early 20's he'll come under the idea that beanies are actually cool and will wear them on a 2regular basis.

john

john no

john beanies are not cool and never will be

when he wears them

he still puts on his hood sometimes

and you think YOURE rebellious, rose. hah!!

Edited 2013-03-04 03:52 (UTC)

all her fashion knowledge is secondhand and she still knows that is awful, john

just

awful

~~says the girl with the quasi-ironic soft grunge cat sweater~~

like he even cares about fashion.

he isnt a fashion kind of a person

he's a WOW BEANIES SURE ARE COOL AND HA HA DO YOU REMEMBER HOW I LIKED WIFE BEATERS AS A KID WELL I GUESS I LIKE THEM AGAIN?? WHATEVER NBD

please tell me has doesn't have a mullet

~~please say he does~~

no i

as much as i want to say yes

i cant bring myself to write john with a mullet. I IMAGINE HE TRIED IT OUT BUT LONGER HAIR JUST LOOKED REALLY BAD ON HIM.

ACCEPTABLE

Oh my god, John.
I could..throw Nepeta at him for sillies. Or a little Graverobber to judge the strideresque chill
