What time is it? It's CRACKPLOT TIME!

[no_vampires_plz]

So for a while now I've been kicking around the idea of a bar-wide crackplot in which pups get regressed back to childhood. Now, with the aid of cape_and_wizard_hat, I have a mechanism to make it happen.

The short version: Twilight and Trixie get into a contest to see who can cast a proper Age Spell, it goes awry, and various bar patrons, including themselves, are suddenly considerably younger than they were a moment ago. Hijinks Ensue.

A few specifics:

1. Only pups who are on the Milliways grounds at the moment the spell is cast will potentially be affected. Muns can, of course, Millitime and/or handwave the transformation as needed.


2. How far back the pup regresses is up to the mun, but it has to represent a significant change. No fair turning a 33-year-old into a 30-year-old, for example, unless that pup's body/abilities/whatever have dramatically changed in those three years.


3. [Edited for clarity] While the spell will affect every pup's body, whether a given pup's mind is affected as well is up to the mun. If you want your pup to be a child in mind and body, that's fine; if you want them to be an adult mind in a child's body, that's cool too.


4. The spell will only change you into a form you have had at some point in the past. Pups who were "born" as fully formed adults will therefore not be changed into children, because they never were children to begin with.


5. Everyone will be changed back to their normal selves at the conclusion of the plot. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Now, the question is: When should the plot start and how long should it last? I want to make sure everyone who wants to participate can do so, which means working around everymun's schedules. I'd like to have it happen sometime in the month of October and conclude before Halloween, but otherwise I am flexible like bendy straw. If you're interested, comment to say when you're available and we'll hash out a timeframe from there.

ETA: sdelmonte has floated the idea that the spell could also turn child pups into adults. Anyone interested in that?

See, this is why I made an icon of 10-year-old Tommy.

I guess the only thing I'd really like is for the plot to maybe start on a weekend, because I have zero time to play anymore during weekdays.

Why only younger? All that temporal energy has to go somewhere! Long time ago, DC did a wacky Young Justice-based event where all the adult heroes became kids. And the kid heroes became adults. It gave the writers (mainly Peter David) a chance for cracky fun with the JLA, JSA, etc, but also let them explore what sorts of adults the teen heroes might be.

Never mind that nothing is going to upset a teen more than being 55!

Frankly, I would love a chance to have Kirk in his prime for just a few days.

Joshua and possibly Helena are totally in. (TINY JOSHUA IS A HOOT THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.) It's totally cheating to just have Helena be Victorian, isn't it?

I'm good for whatever. The Warehouse muns are trying to plan a plot somewhere around the middle-to-end of October, but we can kick that about a bit.

This sounds like fantastic fun, but I have a question!

If I were to change adult!Sunshine's form into her 17-year-old self during this plot, would she then be 17-year-old Sunshine, embittered and self-medicating, or would she just be adult!Sunshine in her 17-year-old self's body?

Essentially, if this is going to change them into their former selves for a time, or just put them into their former selves' shape.

The timing you have suggested seems good to me. Now I just need to decide if I want a wee Jess or a wee Hank.

[baptizemyself]

I want in! I think I would have her mentally regress as well as physically.

I have a week off starting 12th October so obviously that week would be best for me :D

[withherhands]

Oh man, I am SO IN. As is a wee!M. Now I just need to find an icon for her :D

[ceitfianna]

Ooh, yay, I love this and will definitely throw tiny Will and Charles into it but especially Charles as I've been wanting to play him as a 10 year old in Bar.

[misslucyjane]

Oh my, I've been wanting an excuse to have a baby!Steve.

A week is usually good for plots like this. Any longer and peope get restless.

[vivien]

I...think I may have to play a very, very young version of Tom Riddle for this.

Oh my goodness, yay, inspiration to play!

October's a busy month for plots, it seems! I've got a small Halloween plot in the works as well, in the last week of October. Between that, and Gary's canon being set next month, I think only a couple of my pups will be able to do this.

That said, a tiny!Nicholas could be hilarious.

Tiny Dixie Cousins is so happening in this plot. And that'll be my reward for catching up with tags.

[cook_the_rude]

I'm in.-

[lt_blade]

Sonya's definitely in.
