A Pocket Full of Dreams (or Curses)

((From now on, all my threads will be song titles. It's more fun that way!))

Rosetta drug a suitcase with her as she approached Nathan's house. It appeared to be quite heavy, and was bursting out the seems with small papers, some of which would occasionally blow in the wind. She appeared to be having quite a bit of trouble with it, stopping occasionally to catch her breath.

[Blindsense]

"...Please explain to me why you're not just magicking that through the air."

Lance chuckled as he walked up behind Rosetta, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Seriously though... What are you doing? Need any help?"

[Bigmouthstrikes]

She gave him a hug as he approached. "I don't wanna cast any spells on it. I'm not sure how it would interact with the contents...which are remarkably heavy."

She looked down at her suitcase. "Some help would be pretty nice. Just be careful with the paper. We're headed to Nate's just up the hill. He and Natasha were going to help me go over some of this stuff."

[Blindsense]

"Sounds good." He tries to heft the massive suitcase - ending up only a little more successful than Rosetta. "...Goodness, apparently Nathan is in the sheet rock business. Or perhaps crude iron... Geez!" He begins dragging the thing up the hill without much else ado.

"...Need any help?"

Blinking down at Lance from slightly higher on the hill, Victor stretches slightly, getting to his feet, apparently having just finished packing up a small tent.

As he drug it, the suitcase caught on a rock and burst wide open, sending the sheets of paper within flying everywhere.

"Oh no!" She called out.

She dropped to her knees with a pout. "It's all ruined..."

"Doesn't really matter now." She grumbled. "There's no way I'm going to be able to get all of those scrolls back in there."

[Victorious]

Victor frowns slightly, quickly heading down to meet them, grabbing at what papers he can before they're swept away in the wind.

"Oh, I don't know about that!"

Elliot knew Julia was mad at him. He'd been warned she was probably too mad to even attempt a face to face right now, so... he decided to try and work through her friends. Dressed in a pair of baggy and torn jeans with a green t-shirt, he was heading up the hill to Nathan's house... when a blizzard of papers came swirling down towards him. "What the... ", he started to say, before one paper slapped right across his face!

[Bigmouthstrikes]

The papers carried incompressible symbols, but seemed bound together by a glyph imprinted on them. Perhaps if one where to trace the glyph with a finger, the secret of the parchment could be unlocked.

((Protip: to activate glyph, trace with finger))

[Harri-chan]

Elliot simply grabbed the papers that clung to him in the wind, and continued marching up the hill, "Did you do this?", he asked in a rather angry (for Elliot) tone, holding a small pile of papers in one hand, while poking his finger against them... perhaps coincidentally prodding along the glyph in doing so!

The glyph activated and Elliot's age shrank by 4 years!

[Harri-chan]

Elliot felt a shiver go through him, and his clothes quickly loosened around his shrink form as he ended up at fourteen years of age, now looking up at Rosetta, Lance and Victor in confusion, seemingly not able to connect the change with the glyph. "Hey... who did that?", he asked, now with a higher voice.

[Feng]

Raoul, average college student and red shirt of choice, happens to wander by the house when he sees all the papers being blown about in the wind. He immediately runs after a few of the nearby papers, sympathizing with poor Rosetta.

"Let me help" shouts Raoul, as he chases after one of the rogue scrolls.

"Nobody." She said facepalming. "That scroll put a curse on you. These are all ancient curse scrolls."

Elliot shrank down another two years suddenly, leaving him a 12 year old!

The scroll he gets his hand on is the same as the others, but allowed him to cast the scroll's contents on someone else...

[Harri-chan]

Elliot's free hand reached down, grabbing onto his worryingly baggy jeans, peering up at the witch in panic, "A curse? Take it off! Take it off!", he cried, tossing the paper with the glyph up into the air so the wind caught it again and it swirled around with the others, now leaving a hand free to grasp at Rosette's dress and tug.
