I need a shirt. If this is some sort of transformation prank, I need a wholly new one. If my body is elsewhere, give me my jacket. Do not strip. I am currently a young woman with blue hair wearing what appears to be lingerie. My body is male and wearing a suit and is most identifiable via wings and glass horns.

Is this a common occurrence? I want it reversed.

probably héctor?? no it's yukio

[reflash]

[Is that West? Maybe not, but the description (vague as it is) matches, and so does the general tone.]

It appears to be some sort of body switching.

This is Okumura. I am currently an animated skeleton.

from Ed's stone

[vagabone]

Wait wait, you're not Ed? That's weird

We really are all scrambled up. You know, not just swapped.

[reflash]

That is unfortunate. Hopefully this reverts quickly.

[vagabone]

Same. I want my normal self back. And it's probably not as simple as shaking hands or something. That, and you'd only be stuck in Ed's body instead.

[reflash]

How do things like this usually get resolved here?

[vagabone]

Wait for it to pass.

I know this is a really weird way to meet someone, but can I come find you? since you're me and all. I'm Héctor, by the way.

[reflash]

Of course. I'm heading towards the temple.

[vagabone]

Going as fast as I can

[His balance is getting better, but he's still a topheavy guy walking on hooves. When he finally makes it, it takes him about two seconds to recognize himself and wave.]

Hey! Youuu... are me, alright.

[reflash]

[Yukio is Héctor. Probably. He's an animated skeleton, at least, but it's amazing how much difference posture and demeanor makes. He's apologetic, with an polite but forced sort of laugh.]

I'm sorry about this. I'll do my best to be careful with your body.

[vagabone]

[It's rare that Héctor is so somber. When even the silly guy is serious, it must be a real bad time.]

Not your fault. [Here comes one of those things he doesn't want to have to admit--] You're... probably not feeling so hot. Wish I could say there was a way to fix that besides taking it easy and sleeping a lot.

[reflash]

That's all right. I'll be sure to try and take it easy. [Yukio has never taken anything easy in his life.]

[vagabone]

[That's a mood, because he doesn't either.]

You're taking it pretty well. [Not that that's a bad thing!] Any questions?

[scientificist]

Yukio Okumura? Fascinating. Have you encountered anyone else from our Court yet? I thought we'd be past this sort of thing.

[reflash]

My brother is here as well, but for the most part people seem to be coming from places unrelated to the fae.

[scientificist]

I thought we were finished with this. How irritating. Is there anything of any use here or is it as primitive as it seems?

[reflash]

Unfortunately, it is as primitive as it seems. There has been some effort put into improving the islands, but there is a limit to what can be done at this point.

It's not lingerie! It's a super stylish outfit!! Cent helped me pick it out!

[Three guesses as to WHO THIS COULD BE.]

[scientificist]

Cent may have had ulterior motives. In what world is this not lingerie?

[postictal]

u new?

[Tim's style of texting isn't usually so abbreviated, but he has to type fast. Before his fingers ignite again.]

i think ur in 2's body

[scientificist]

New enough. Are you saying this IS common?

[postictal]

this specifically no
weird shit in general yes

[scientificist]

Unfortunate. I would have preferred prior knowledge on how to reverse this particular condition. What kind of "weird shit" are you talking about?

[postictal]

people getting deaged
people fighting their worst selves
people coughing up flowers

that kind of shit

[scientificist]

Does this have anything to do with the local deity? Is it toying with us?

[postictal]

doesnt seem like their style but idk
stopped fucking with us for the hell of it pretty early on

[scientificist]

How long have you been here?

[postictal]

since the beginning
first day everyone started arriving i mean

[scientificist]

Really. Was that closer to centuries or singular years?

[postictal]

about 2 years now

[scientificist]

Has anyone left, in that time?

[postictal]

lots of people leave
come and go sometimes to
not sure what that has to do w ur situation

[scientificist]

Nothing about my immediate situation, I'm thinking more long term. Taking the opportunity to ask someone with experience. My immediate situation is likely short-term, after all.

[postictal]

thats one way of looking at it
i guess short term its not life threatening

[bitch4bitch]

Oh so YOU'RE the business pigeon. Christ, of course you talk like that.

[scientificist]

Business? Pigeon?

That doesn't matter, I need my jacket! Or my coat, either are acceptable.

[bitch4bitch]

Yeah business pigeon.

Where are you? And gimme a bit, I'm gonna need to go find 'em first.

[scientificist]

Find them?! What did you do with them?

[bitch4bitch]

Chill, I didn't chuck em into the ocean or whatever, they're just in a tree.
