Something doesn't feel right.

[transcribed sounds of someone rolling out of bed and sounds of footsteps than a pipe being turned on]

What in the lion's name? I...a beard! And my face. Taller.
[written]
I need some assistance. I'm not sure what has gone wrong but my body appears to have aged overnight or been swapped with somebody else's.

Would anyone mind running some clothes upstairs? And a razor?

I'm not quite sure if this is a loss because the clothes in my cupboard haven't been swapped out for a larger size. I think my room is jinxed.

Eustace?

...aged? As in...how old?

[transcribed sigh]
Yes.

I'm not sure. I seem to look a little older than a teenager if that helps any. If it's aging and not my body being switched with somebody else's. But the reflection does look like me in a way. My hair's longer too. Haircut needed.

Serves me right. I was slightly worried about somebody but I shouldn't have slept in my room.

Hmm, twenties then?

I'm...not sure what size you are compared to me, but I can bring a few things over. You're in your room?

Yes. Thank you so very much.

Alright, just give me a minute. The shirt won't be hard unless you're either tiny or huge, but the pants might be tricky...I'll bring along a pair of Crowley's too. He's just a tiny bit shorter than I am.

[a pause, indistinct noises in the background]

Okay, be over in a second.

Eustace, is your body alright? Other than the aging thing?

That aside, I must say, it's really strange hearing how your voice has changed.

[transcribed sound of a door closing]

I'm fine otherwise.

It'll take some getting used to, though.

Well, you ought to be able to have some fun with it at least.

I intend to. Any suggestions?

Well, is there anything you've wanted to do that you couldn't because you weren't old enough? Not that this castle limits you too much but I know that I couldn't wait to grow up, just because I hated being told "When you're older."

Or at the very least, you can enjoy being taller.

Not a very big or interesting list but I'll hunt down some of those things as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Eustace, everything okay?

Other than the getting taller and growing a beard, I should be fine.

I may have to find someone willing to cut hair.

That sounds...really awkward.

But at least you didn't have to go through all the nasty in-between stuff, right?

[transcribed laughter]
That is a very good thing.

Thank you for pointing that out. My cousin had that experience and everyone poked fun at him for it.

He is better off now, though.

Yeah...puberty's generally something to avoid when possible. Not that it usually is, for most of us.

So what are you gonna do with your newly grown-up self?

Still going jogging tomorrow with you.

Not going to go drinking. May play the 'Oh, can you recongnize me game' with some of the people I know.

Probably hang out in the town a lot. Have to brainstrom later.

Okay.

Well if you need anything, give me a--

Actually.

If you head to town, mind if I tag along? I have some things I've been meaning to look for but I haven't made it out there yet.

I don't mind at all. Tomorrow or another day?

Tomorrow's fine with me.

Around lunchtime, maybe? We can get something while we're in town.
