[The camera shakes a bit as it turns on, revealing an extreme close-up of a blonde teenage girl bundled in a blanket. As she pulls back, a room is shown in a general state of disarray with clothes thrown over every surface.]

Just my luck I got stuck here before I grew any. I gotta find me some clothes, 'cause these?

[She holds up a tiny, child-sized pair of jeans with a raised eyebrow.]

Ain't exactly gonna cut it this time.








[ooc: Bobby is sixteen for the weekend! Have fun, City.]

My clothes don't fit either. Everything's too guyish.

[horseish]

Least you got a starting point. I don't reckon most've these'll go over my arm.

Bobby?

[horseish]

[One hand emerges from her sheet-bundle to give him a salute.]

In the flesh, yeah.

[newspider]

Yeah those don't look promising. Do you live with someone you could borrow from?

[horseish]

[Oh yeah, Bruce has shirts. Now only to surmise how much he's going to freak out when she leaves her room not being ten any more.]

Maybe. They won't exactly be the right size either but it's something.

[He's just going to stare for a minute, putting two and two together, and then make an extremely confused face.]

Bobby?

[horseish]

Got it in one, buddy.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

You look...

[Yeah, he's trying to think of a word here.]

Older.

[He fails.]

Video

[horseish]

Last time you saw me I was ten. Looking older'n that don't take much doing.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

How old are you now?

Video

[horseish]

Sixteen.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Huh.

And you remember everything about being here when you were ten?

Video

[horseish]

Not when I first woke up but it's coming back to me. Although when I woke I was bein' near choked by my own nightie so maybe I was thrown the hell off.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

You'll probably go back to being a kid in a couple days.

[He hopes so. Older Bobby is disconcerting, somehow.]

Video

[horseish]

Yeah, lucky me.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

What, you don't want to?

Video

[horseish]

It feels a bit weird, don't it? Would you want to be a kid again?

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He laughs.]

Well, no, but you're...

["Always a kid" was the intended statement, but that's not entirely true, apparently.]

Never mind.

Video

[horseish]

Never mind what?

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

You're always a kid. At least, when I know you normally. And you also look a lot less like a girl when you're a kid.

Video

[horseish]

That was the idea, back then. Kinda hard to keep it up past 'round twelve or so.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Would it be rude to ask you now why you had to dress up like a boy then?

Video

[horseish]

My father - when I was born he got it in his head I was a boy and nothing nobody said to him could make him change his mind.

Delusional bastard.

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Why did he think you were a boy? That seems...

[A pause.]

Well, that sort of thing is usually pretty obvious.
