Alex begins putting away the baking trays once Felix had left the room before heading off to her bed to get some sleep for the next day of school and any weirdness that might happen with the election preparations.

"Well..." Daisy yawned. "I guess it is time to hit the hay... Need any help with those trays?"

"That would be nice, thanks for the help" Alex says as she grabs one of the trays to put it away where the group had grabbed it from.

Daisy grabs one of the baking trays and puts it where the group found them.

Rosa stretches out with a yawn while covering her mouth. "Well, I think I'm gonna head to bed. With all that's happened, it feels like today has gone on for too long." They then undid her twintails and shook out her hair a bit. "If anyone needs me, I'll leave the door open just a bit."

Houston finishes tidying up the dishes and then heads to Yuki's room.

MARI-SUE, mute notifications from anyone except Maria and Felix until... when does Yuki normally wake up?

Given that everyone is heading to bed and Shizuka feels a bit drained from today's events, she decides that it'd be a good idea to ask Rosa about explaining stuff to her. She heads over to where Rosa is to hopefully get enough details to sleep. "Hey, I don't mean to bother you right before bed, but could you give an explanation of stuff to me? Also, I never got your name." Shizuka said to Rosa.

~Yuki usually wakes up somewhere between seven and eight am, depending on how late she stayed up and how long it takes for her to respond to her alarm clock. Felix never wakes up late, nor does he wake up early, he wakes precisely when he means to.~

Oh, that's the same sleep schedule we're already used to. How convenient. Yeah, mute those notifications til the alarm goes off, then.

Houston looked around Yuki's room for the alarm clock in question — an old clock radio, or at least old compared to Yuki's smartphone — and made sure it was set properly.

I'm gonna do a thing now, they thought to MARI-SUE, if I'm not done in half an hour, remind me to go to bed.

~Reminder set. Do you mean an Aerthian half hour or an Atlantian half hour?~

Houston blinked. Uh... Probably Aerthian, but what's the difference?

~Atlantian time is based on a twenty hour day, so an Atlantian hour is twelve Aerth minutes longer then an Aerth hour, and an Aerth hour is ten Atlantian minutes shorter then an Atlantian hour. Both hours consist of sixty of their appropriate minutes, but there are 100 Atlantian seconds in an Atlantian minute, meaning while both Atlantian hours and minutes are longer then the Aerth version, an Atlantian second is shorter then in Aerth second.~

Interesting coincidence that they both have sixty local minutes in an hour... But the seconds in a minute are different. And... I'm not sure how to communicate how long I expect a second to be. He picks up Yuki's phone and looks for something like a stopwatch app to check that way.

~An Atlantian second is 0.72 of an Aerth second, or for every Aerth second that passes, there are one point three eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight...~

I could have mathed out the ratio between the two myself, what I'm trying to do is... find a universal frame of reference by which we can communicate the objective duration of a second. An Aerth second, ideally, but I'll take anything that lets us math out the rest of it. There we go, stopwatch app, I'll just compare directly.

~...eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight... ~

((This continues for the next twenty-five Atlantian minutes, until the string of eights is interrupted.))

~eight ei... this is your thirty Aerth Minute reminder. Would you like me to resume the calculation?~

... In future, when you encounter infinitely repeating digits, just say "repeating".

Edited by wingedcatgirl on Jun 3rd 2020 at 5:14:42 AM

~Instruction understood. Resuming calculation: ...eight repeating Atlantian seconds that will have passed.~

Edited by Nodrog on Jun 3rd 2020 at 7:36:16 AM

...Okay. I can't believe I just sat there for all of that. With that silliness out of the way, Houston looked at the stopwatch app on Yuki's phone to see how quickly the seconds ticked up compared to the way they remembered it back home.

"Aihara Ryo, or El Cuarzo Rosa when we're on missions and Rosa Thorne when we're not. I think we covered just about everything; evil princess took the magical girl souls, Felix replaced them with us, and now we have to stop this one girl who we're sure is the evil princess in disguise from becoming student council president to prevent the end of the world as we know it. I have no idea how it works either."

He tapped a finger to Rosa's forehead, "What else...oh, there's a car wash tomorrow for the GOOD princess' campaign, so that's what we have planned, there's no telling what else could happen. By the way, what is your name? I'm assuming it's not actually Gracieuse, is it?"

Shizuka shook her head. "Well, that sounds...interesting, to say the least. I can't say I was expecting that, although I'm not sure what I WAS expecting." Shizuka says, putting her hand on her head and sighing at her unfortunate situation. "Oh yeah, my name is Ohashi Shizuka, by the way, but please call me Ohashi-san. Nice to meet you, Rosa, and thanks for the explanation of stuff around here." Shizuka said to Rosa. "Anyway, I think I'll be heading off to bed unless there's anything else you wanna talk to me about," Shizuka said to Rosa as she started to head off to go get some rest.

~DREAMING~

You find yourself wandering in a large hedge-maze during a nice, late spring day. The maze is made up of carefully tended rose bushes, blossoming with white and red roses. You can hear the faint sound of bird song and the occasional sound of wood hitting wood.

Waking World

"Well, that's the last of 'em, I guess..." Daisy says as she puts away a baking tray before yawning. "I gotta get to bed."

Daisy then changes into her pajamas with her eyes closed, then faceplants into bed and falls asleep.

~Dreaming~

You are an intersection. The sound of wood smacking wood is coming to the left. The sound of dishes moving on a table cloth is to the right. Forward you see a turn in the maze, then hear the sound of metal moving faintly against metal. A 2.54 centimeter worm is crawling along the ground.

~Dreaming~

Ian, in Daisy's body, takes a look around at the Dreamscape he finds himself in.

"You know, I'm compelled to admit that this is the first time I have ever had a dream in a girl's body..."

Ian/Daisy then sees the 2.54 cm long worm crawling by, and just chuckles.

"Heheh... Inchworm..."
