Spellicorn nickered, then smirked and shook his head at Sans. "Guess I can trust you to do that, huh?" Spellicorn replied, deadpan, then looked at the Omnitrix symbol on his flank. "I'd love to turn back, but I don't know how. I have to wait until the watch turns me back on its own in like 10 to 15 minutes or so," he explained. "I wonder how I managed to get this form in the first place anyway...." he muttered, thinking out loud. When he didn't receive a response, he glanced back over at Sans...

...who had fallen asleep. Sans must have been really tired when he got here, cause he already seemed to be out. Ben wondered where Sans had come from, and what he was capable of. Well, besides making terrible puns. His attention turned to Rick, whose giant grin bugged Ben. He couldn't tell if the grin was genuine or condescending, so he simply ignored it and focused on trying to hone his magical power, again charging up green energy to fire at the sign.

This time, the sparks erupted from his horn, but dissipated a short distance from him, a couple feet at most.

Garrett decided that he wasn't going to get any coherent answers from the crowd outside the library, and entered the building in hopes of finding some information on his own.

Trying his best to ignore things such as someone breaking a window, or yet another Mechanist machine (this time fashioned into a reptile-like shape) bumbling in, he overheard Miss Tairee's and Rex's words. Several things were now more clear: Garrett and everyone else were apparently kidnapped by whoever ran this city (now it was obvious the Hag or anyone else Garrett knew wasn't behind it), each day seemingly had a different theme (he could only feel thankful he missed "jungle day"), and this whole nonsense would last no more than a month.

"Right, I can only hope the Hag decides to wait that long," he muttered. He then said to Rex: "Inspire? What does he want us to do? And where do I find that guy so I can give him a piece of my mind?"

Twenty Nine days? Taking out the four that had apparently already passed...that wasn't that bad. Koishi knew that her family would miss her, and if stuff happened like yesterday's events kept occurring it would be bad...but days like today? Where everyone was just shorter or taller, and no fire was present?

Something like this could end up nice.

Not optimal...but Koishi wanted to look on the bright side of things.

What's-His-Hat mentioned something, and Koishi interrupted her one-sided staring contest in order to educate him. Was she an expert on this? Not at all, but looking smarter than your peers is always a thing to strive towards. "Space is like the sky, except a lot higher. It's where the Moon and the Sun are, and all the stars. Really, really high up, and I remember reading that where I'm from, people built rockets to get up there."

"You can't find him" Miss Tairee said to Garrett, even though he was talking to Rex. "And he could take a piece of your mind whenever he wanted. If you'd like to leave some feedback, we have a box" she continued, and motioned to the suggestion box.

"A Mechanicus ritual for the placating of machine spirits" Brother Marcus said, completely seriously. He glanced down at his weapons for a moment with a slight frown before looking back at Plague Knight again. He was no longer glaring, but his expression was still extremely judgmental. "The machine spirits of my equipment are angry at this day's changes, as am I. I am attempting to return them to working order" he explained to the knight, then tried to go back to his meditation, hoping that Plague Knight would simply go away.

There was of course a few people wandering about the street around the talking group, but suddenly one person in particular ran to them. A caucasian girl maybe around twelve with wavy brown hair, wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, she only gave the warning of, "giddy up!" before suddenly jumping onto Spellicorn's side and quickly scrambling up to sit on him where a saddle would go. Once on, she laughed a bit before speaking.

"Hey Ben, is that you? You got that watch symbol on your flank" the girl said, pointing back at it for a moment, a wide grin plastered on her face. "It's me Rachel; we met at the city edge where we were digging an ice tunnel, remember?" she asked, then laughed a bit more, "I thought you turned into aliens, not unicorns. But hey, now that I'm a little girl again, it's alright for me to want a unicorn pet right?"

Cole listened to Koishi's explanation about space, slowly tilting his head upwards to look up at the sky for a moment. "Where I come from, there is a hole in the sky. Demons come out," he said softly. "We've sealed the Breech before but there are always more tears, more demons to be stopped...spirits that cannot stand the shock of falling into our world and corrupting against their being, their purpose. If that is what space is, then I don't want to see it here."

Spellicorn snorted in surprise as the girl clambered up his side and ended up on his back. He turned his head, awkwardly, towards the girl. "H-hey!" Spellicorn shouted. "Yeah, it's Ben. But I'm not anyone's pet!" He nickered, obviously exasperated with the watch's latest shenanigans. "I thought it was just aliens too. But apparently it's magic unicorns as well. Look, this is all pretty embarassing, okay?" His demeanor lightened up though.

"Rachel, huh? That's a nice name. Well. I guess while I'm a unicorn, I could give you a ride. Just a short one.... where to?" he asked, feeling a bit weird about the whole ordeal.

Lune's eyes widened as the attack veered off-course. If she had a body, she would slap herself for making a silly mistake. However, that attack sliced through that wing like a hot knife through butter. Guess that attack worked on the dragon; it just didn't work in the right way. Everyone else attacking the dragon combined their might and finished the dragon off for Lune.

The group in the library celebrated their victory. Ms. Tairee even gave Rex a celebratory hug. Lune was about to celebrate with the others until the earlier wounds finally took their toll and caused the Dullahan body to collapse right there and then. Lune's eyes also became heavy as well. Everything suddenly went dark for her.

Lune woke up in a nice bed and got up. The first thing she did was stretch to relieve muscle tension. After she did that, she immediately looked in the mirror and she rubbed her eyes in confusion. She was human again; however, a few things were off. She was slightly taller, she had longer hair, she had a bull skull tattoo on her right shoulder, and she was wearing a completely different outfit. She checked if the Valsione-transformation watch was still there. She sighed when she saw that it was still there.

She changed into the Valsione and checked her weapons as usual. Unfortunately, they have become harmless in some shape or fashion. Her blades have become plastic, and the wasp gun was a wasp gun again, but when she squeezed the trigger, it just made a cute, but annoying, buzzing sound. This is really silly. She just changed back to her human form and started heading to the library for some answers.

"Does it matter? I'm riding a unicorn!" Rachel said enthusiastically, and pointed forward triumphantly. "Take me somewhere fun! Or somewhere to have breakfast; I haven't had any yet" she told Ben.

Spellicorn's tail twitched a bit, then he was off. He wasn't quite galloping, more a quick trot, but it was still fairly thrilling. He guessed this must've been what horses felt like in all those cowboy movies.

As he trotted, he looked around the city, then back at Rachel. "So, uh... sorry about yesterday morning as Four Arms," he told Rachel with a frown. Finally, he stopped at a familiar sight— the diner where, on the first day, he and Plague Knight had upset the group of cat girls. Hopefully he would find something to eat here... he was getting a strange craving for oatmeal. Holding the meal.

As Ben brought up the incident from yesterday in the library, Rachel sighed and looked to the side. "Look, kid, I'm just not okay with sitting around and accepting our situation. That lady's tied to the bastard responsible and doing nothing about it doesn't sit right with me" Rachel said, swinging one leg over and then hopping off as Ben reached the diner. "But... Let's not worry about it right now, alright? Today's actually not so bad, and... Well, I'd rather not get into another argument over morality like after..." she trailed off and frowned as she pushed open the door to the diner and stepped inside. Taking a quick look around.

"I don't think there's anybody in here" Rachel muttered to herself, hopping over the counter and taking a look through the back door as she prepared to help herself. She paused right after swinging the door open and seeing what remained of the kitchen, and after a few moments turned around, letting the door swing closed on its own. "Huh. Well this place is trashed like hell. Let's try some other place" she told Ben, heading out the door and taking a wander down the street to look for some other restaurant.

Spellicorn's eyes widened when he saw the destruction in the kitchen of the diner. Ben was not present at the diner for Day 3 so he was unaware of what had gone down. "What the heck happened here??" Spellicorn asked, sounding completely baffled. "Did the dragon destroy this place yesterday or something?" He nickered, glaring up at the sky. "Yeah, let's just keep moving. I'm pretty hungry myself.

As they walked, he secretly hoped that the Omnitrix would run out of cooldown soon. He was feeling really weird about being a horse, and he was getting some fairly odd looks from some of the people in this city that he was passing by.

"You shouldn't worry, because that's not anything like what I've heard of space. It's not as bad as you think it is," Koishi said to Cole. "There's some people that live on the moon, though, and they and their pet rabbits can be jerks from what I hear..." She realized rather quickly that absolutely nobody besides her would understand the bit about rabbits, so she immediately rectified her gaffe.

"R-Rabbits on the moon aren't like normal rabbits, though! They're like people with bunny ears and guns. Normal rabbits aren't jerks."

Grimlock; Dino mode

Library

The little girl, who he now realized was the librarian when she answered the questions of the beard guy, and she mentioned a boss. Just like the librarian. She said that most of them were going to be stuck here for twenty nine days. Some would be lucky on getting home early. He was going to ask if there was any way he could go home early until she said she gets no say in it. He sagged a little. Well, at least the librarian didn't mean for any of this to happen. She probably wanted a few to go home, from how quickly she snapped. The bright side was he will go home, and in about a month. The team would be very worried, but they had Optimus with them, so they could manage.

At least, he hoped they could.

A new girl he didn't notice answered his question. She reminded him of Mary, and Russel. His main question, on what "theme", as the librarian calls it, is for today wasn't answered. Though, maybe it had something to do with age as Mory looked older. But other questions that he probably would've eventually asked were already answered by the librarian. He wasn't going to ignore her though.

"You new here?" he said. He smiled and held out his hand for a handshake, remembering what Denny usually did when greeting customers. "Name's Grimlock. Maybe I could help?"

Bluh - Handwaveeee

"...I'm seventeen, damnit." Sawyer grumbled at Sans' remark. She was fortunately graced with not aging down all that much, even if her original voice was... somewhat squeaky.

A bit further away some girl the cleaner didn't recognize was attempting to comfort Cole with how space looked. "Supposedly there's nothing there, threatening or otherwise." She shrugged, regarding his hat with a... vaguely amused expression. "At least back home."

And then there was HK. "Go freelance." Sawyer suggested, shrugging her shoulders. "Or just wait until the day is over and then reconsider."

Little City Zone/ Act 3

Garrett ignored what Sonic said and left. Sonic decided to enter the library too, still a bit irked by Garrett.

Upon entering the library, Sonic noticed that the librarian is now a bit younger, but considering what he has seen, he figured it was just the change that happens each day.

He overheard the fact that they will be stuck here for 29 days. Sonic got worried. 29 days? What will happen to his friends? He decided to talk to the librarian about this.

"Excuse me, but if I'm stuck here for 29 days... what happens to my friends back in my world?"

Cole glanced over to Sawyer, taking in her appearance and voice with his usual wide-eyed consideration, then looked back at Koishi, tilting his head to one side, thinking that over.

"I like rabbits. If...there are rabbits in this...space, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. I'd like a rabbit."

He still seemed rather nervous, but he wasn't quite as obviously bewildered as before, seemingly just the act of talking it out was helping. Still, he wrung his hands a bit and rocked on his feet where he stood as he continued. "Varric puts rabbits in all his new stories for me because I like them. And nugs. Do you have nugs? Dorian says they have 'creepy little hands' but I like them. They're small and they want to be friends with everyone. It's the best way they know how to be safe, by being friends with people."

"Don't get used to the voice." Sawyer seemed to interpret Cole's consideration as a surprise.

"I don't think space rabbits would wish to be petted; on the basis of being from a different planet or a different world they're bound to think differently."

Cleaner summoned a thin, haunting smile on her face. "Like The Rabbit of Caerbannog."

"There are no other intelligent races than mankind back home." She mused.

The Library—>Outside the Library

Specter Knight sighed. He could possibly be trapped here for 29 days? Finding the Phase Locket would be practically impossible by then! If it weren't for today's infuriating "theme", he'd probably go and decapitate someone right now. "I've heard enough," he growled, before teleporting outside.

When he got outside, he decided to sit under a tree and brood to himself.

"I like your voice. Both of them." Cole tilted his head. "There's several races in my home. Humans, dwarves, elves, and Qunari. Some people say the mages are another race but I don't think they are. Anyone but dwarves can be mages. I'm not a mage, I'm a human. I'm just...different. I wasn't real before, but now I am." His head tilted the other way, the hat shifting just a bit before he pushed it back into place. "Are you younger than you were yesterday? How does that work? I think I'm still the same."

"Wh-" Sadness flailed on instinct, knowing her sad powers had just activated On the other hand, she just didn't care enough to struggle for very long. The emotion went limp and ended up dangling from Mary's hand upside-down by one foot. Reassured that Mary probably wouldn't burst into tears again, Sadness gave the no-longer-a-girl a rather flat look.

"I'll take it."

"Do you now?" Well, that was a little sudden. Sawyer could see how her original voice could be appreciated, but her usual robotic drone was... was it likeable? "I'm afraid it's gonna be gone at the end of the day."

How strange.

"From what I understand, yes." She nodded. "I acquired my neck scar later and I think I'm slightly shorter. An inch or so." Sawyer shrugged her shoulders. "Everybody seems to be suffering either from an age-up or an age-down. How come you don't?"

"Age up or down?" Cole looked around at the others, taking in their appearances. "Oh. Is that what has happened? I...couldn't tell. The world is quieter today than usual, I can't hear as much hurt. Everything feels stranger to me." He looked down at his wrapped hands, turning them over, then looked back at Sawyer. "You say I haven't changed? That is strange. Maybe it's because whoever changed us doesn't know how to change me. Or maybe I'm too young to change." He straightened up slightly, then hunched back down in his usual way of standing. "I can't tell."

"They made a sociopathic robot look like a kid." Sawyer gestured towards HK. "And I am pretty sure I have seen that reaper from yesterday, now an undead kid."

"Why would you be so strange to remain unchanged?"

On the comment of the lessened amount of hurt, goth girl's lips curled down in a frown. "Well, maybe it's because everybody's weapon turned into a toy. See yours."

Cole looked towards HK, immediately wrinkling his nose slightly, then turning away. "I don't know what that is. But I've never seen anything like him before. Are we sure he's supposed to look differently?"

He drew one of his daggers, blinking as it seemed to be made of a very soft green wood, flexible but not breakable, and he prodded at this as he continued, rather matter-of-factly. "I don't think I'm all that strange. How old is everyone else here? I'm nearly three, I assume the rest of you are older."
