The Age Up/Down Meme
Look, most of our characters have lots of backstory to take advantage of, or headcanons for their future. This is the place to use it!
Prompts
1) People are suddenly shifting ages on the good ship Teremity! It's probably space waves and will fix itself in a day or two, so enjoy reliving your mispent youth.
2) You were always this age! Nothing bad is happening and you all already know each other and it's all cute af. A fluff option.
3) You are this age... and going through your round (or a remixed version) of your Airlocked season. Not for the REALLY young age downs!

All those questions queue on on her tongue and she can't make any of them come out. After two years had passed, Yuuri had told herself they'd never see Kurumi again. After that long by herself, she had to be dead or worse. But Yuki... ]
Yuki-chan... she always used to say you were still out there somewhere b--but I... I never thought you were really...
no subject
Yuuri would have a heart attack if she even spoke of that. She just rubbed the back of her head in a gesture she'd be sure to remember as she moved a little closer.]
Yeah... yeah, she'd think that. That's our Yuki for you.
no subject
And what the hell would you know about Yuki-chan?! When you disappeared for however long, you think you still have any right to call her that? Did you know she used to wait up every night, waiting for you to come back? Did you know she used to cry herself to sleep when she realized you weren't going to?!
no subject
No. I don't have the right. [She... agrees with Yuuri. The old president had to clean up her mess in the end, after all.] I'm not going to argue any of that. Rii-san--I had to leave. Look at me! One of you would have had to kill me. I'm...I'm barely alive as it is.
Tell me if it would be worth letting Yuki go through that.
no subject
[ It'd been like Megu-nee all over again. Not even a body to bury -- but at least with Megumi they'd known what had happened. There hadn't been any doubt -- but Kurumi? How could they possibly know if she was alive or dead? How could they have given up hope when there was still the slightest chance she was still alive?
Yuuri hates her for it. ]
no subject
[Because obviously this isn't Kurumi's fault. It was going to end in tragedy either way so why not make Yuuri hate her even more.]
no subject
[ That shuts her up.
Yuuri freezes, her grip still tight on Kurumi's collar. But her hands are suddenly trembling, in a very human way. A very human way Yuuri hasn't allowed herself to be in nearly ten years ]
I... b--but you were still alive. You weren't one of them! Of course it worked! And even if it wasn't... Miki-san wouldn't... sh--she would've told me something like that!
no subject
[It's true, she hadn't said anything but Miki had guessed and, probably, so did Yuki.]
You know I kept sleeping in longer. That my eyesight wasn't as good--Yuki kept joking I needed glasses.
[Small things. Little things that, had it not been for the bite, should have been normal in the process of getting older.]
no subject
[ That's normal she wants to say. But what do any of them know about normal anymore? ]
Why didn't you tell us? We could've-- maybe we could've gone back to the school and found more medicine! Or seen if there was any at the university or-- something! Anything other than sit around and wonder if you were dead or not!
no subject
[At least that's what she thought. Miki knew for sure. Yuki... Yuki wasn't as dumb as she looked. Kurumi falters.]
At least that's what I thought! Just because we could find more medicine doesn't mean it would reverse anything! I didn't want to die as invalid as you all watched me!
no subject
[ Her voice is far shriller than she would've liked and she forces herself to let go of Kurumi and step back so she can try to master herself again. But there's no hope of that when she's already lost control to this degree. ]
You think I would've just kept quiet if I had?! As far as I knew you were fine! Nobody told me otherwise! If they had I could've-- we could've done something to try and fix it! We could've made plans! We could've-- I don't know what we could've done! But it would've been better than spending years thinking you were dead and not even knowing how or when it happened!

[ She hisses it between her teeth like she's spitting vemon and takes a step back, away from Kurumi. ]
You still can't take responsibility for what you did. I don't know why I expected better of you.
no subject
[She's just... tired. There was no bite in Kurumi's words.]
no subject
[ I want you to come back. I want to do the last ten years over. I want my best friend back.
Yuuri doesn't say any of that. Of course she doesn't. No matter how much she might want to.
Instead she lets out a thin hiss of annoyance and takes a step back. ]
I want you to stay away from me. While we're in here, at least.
no subject
Alright. You won't see me again.
no subject
[ Her voice is terribly, icy cold but maybe for someone with clearer eyes her facade wouldn't be quite as strong. She's shaking and she can't quite bring herself to look at Kurumi. ]
We'll have to work with the others so we can get out from here. But apart from that... don't go thinking any of it makes us friends.
no subject
Don't worry; I won't. I burned that bridge a long time ago.
