Gasp am I breaking this in or is everyone screened

[licensetocrane]

[A couple weeks after their fae stakeout, probably, you get this unfamiliar woman video-calling you. April may have forgotten she's a bit older currently--]

Heyyy, Casey. Uhh... you got a sec?

[Voice be familiar, tho.]

Congratulations, you're our first customer!

[goongal]

[Casey looks absolutely bewildered for a moment. But her voice and the rhythm of the speech... It helps it click together, but it's very hard to believe.]

...April O'Neil? ...Is... Is that you? But you... You look so cool...! [It's hard to process!]

WOO

[licensetocrane]

[OH RIGHT. She breaks out into cackling, but it's softer than usual. Mainly so she doesn't re-get some other Casey's attention, cough.]

I know, right?? Apparently this is how I look twenty years from now. I clean up real good, huh?

[goongal]

[A slow nod.]

Yes, I- I admit it. ...You age incredibly well! [But she's sure that her own older self must look even cooler. She'll just avoid asking this April about it to spare her self-esteem.]

You must keep up an incredible training regimen. Have you called just to brag about this? [She can't blame her. She'd do the same.]

[licensetocrane]

Sadly, no. Though put a pin in that, I'll remember to brag later. [She grins, but then sobers up.]

Listen, what's happened to me is happening to a lot of others, only in the other direction. Lotta kids here, suddenly. And some of them, uh... don't remember being adults?

[Get to the point, O'Neil.]

[goongal]

Yes, there's plenty of strange shifts like that happening currently. I myself was a child not too long ago. I was quite precocious!

[She smiles nostalgically as she thinks back.]

[neonleon]

[He's not an idiot, and despite spending most of his time recently helping Peter with his whole. Situation. He still kept an eye on names showing up.]

everyone gave u the rundown on whats up right

un: STRONGESTPUNCHCHOWDERFAN

[goongal]

I very well might have received some sort of rundown from others! Who are you to ask, 'primetime'? Are you some sort of guardian who has made contact to test my knowledge??

[neonleon]

[Never change, Cass.]

Yes I am a Guardian Angel sent by God to help you and test your knowledge

[goongal]

God?? Like The God?? I wonder which denomination or pantheon you serve! In any case, the most important thing I have learned here in this world is that I have a son, and he is incredible! If you can, please put in a good word to bless his life as much as possible, primetime!

[neonleon]

I will do my best but can make no promises you must help where i physically cannot exist to make his life good

[goongal]

Of course!! I have not known him long, but I am ready to go above and beyond and beyond again to ensure both his happiness and his safety! In fact, I don't need some stinking angel stepping in. I will safeguard the future of the clan myself!!

voice; @cjj / after the last trial (you know i had to bother you again)

[apuckalypse]

[Some time after the de-aging shenanigans, here's Junior, back to his regular self.]

Hey, um. Casey? [Still not sure about the whole addressing thing. Feels weird to go back after calling her Mom as a kid, but he's not six anymore, and she didn't say to call her mom. Probably weird? Anyway.] I wanted to check in, and, uh. Let you know, I'm older again.

[A beat, and then,]

Thank you. For all that.

[They probably have some things to talk about, in light of... well, everything April passed along. And some other stuff too.]

hehehe welcome back!

[goongal]

[She does want her son to call her by whatever he feels comfortable with, but still, just being called 'Casey' by him does feel a bit weird. But it doesn't matter, as just hearing his voice is enough to seize her attention.]

Ah - Casey! My son!! W-welcome back to, ah, your normal age!

[She does miss the excitable little kid already. They really do grow up so fast!]

There is no need to thank me! Maybe I should thank you. Getting to meet you as a child was - such an incredible treat! You were so adorable... You still are, of course, but you know what I mean!

[apuckalypse]

[It did take him several months to consistently use Mom for Rue, admittedly. Maybe he'll ease himself into it.

Her comments get him flustered- it really is in a mom's nature to give unabashed praise, isn't it? She's so good at it. Makes him more determined not to screw up in front of her and earn her ire instead.]

I-I know what you mean! [Kind of?] And you were amazing. An amazing mom. Uh- you are still, just... it meant a lot, to see you. And you dove right in. I didn't suspect a thing.

[goongal]

[She is glad to have her ego fed in turn...! This motherhood stuff isn't so bad.]

Of course you didn't! As a true master of the ninja arts, it was second nature for me to put up an impenetrable wall of secrecy while entertaining you! [It wasn't super easy given the things she had just learned, but she was able to focus on the pure joy of spending time with her son.]

In any case, I - I am glad. Quite glad that I was able to make your younger self happy! And to have successfully picked up the baton from, from my other self!

[apuckalypse]

You sure did.

[No denying she did exceptionally well. The mention of her other self makes him hesitate - he has to talk about that, too - but maybe he'll work up to it. He needs some extra courage first.]

Oh, uh- I heard you met Hunter... sorry I didn't mention him before, we ended up so sidetracked at my place. I was going to introduce you.

[goongal]

Were you?

[A slight tone shift as she's reminded of something she meant to scold him about. She had been sidetracked by that whole business with him turning into an adorable child and learning about her fate in his timeline! But now, it's time to get to business.]

Cassandra Jones Junior! If you are dating someone, then that is vital information which should have been shared at the earliest possible opportunity!

[goongal]

I know exactly what you mean and at the same time I feel like I don't.

What's going on? Is something up with the other you?

[semilethal]

Yes he isn't me

Are we exclusive or not

[goongal]

What do you mean he's not you?? He seemed very you!
I mean, of course he's not you but he's still you!

Anyway I'm going to need more reason to be any kind of 'exclusive'! I will spar with any combatant who is willing and able!

[semilethal]
