Bodyswap Mystery Solved! Head of the Newcomer Political Party Catches Wayward Culprit

Elizabeth Duwall, the mastermind behind the mysterious, citywide body-switching incidents that occurred throughout the month of August, has finally been caught. The 63-year-old retiree from the University of Hillsdale’s mathemetics department appeared to Raul Creed, Head of the Newcomer Political Party, shortly after he was returned to his own body.

The “bodyswap phenomenon”, as it has been referred to on multiple occasions, has been the source of a great deal of confusion throughout the city. Interviews with several victims revealed that the body-switching would always occur the day after they had quarreled with someone. Just how Ms. Duwall accomplished it is still unclear, but when asked why she did it, she only had this to say: “No one has any decency anymore! All this bickering hurts my ears!”

In a prepared statement outside of the police station, Raul Creed was quoted, saying: “I realize that the victims of this woman’s powers may be out for blood, but, as head of the Newcomer Political Party, I know that the city will serve swift justice on Elizabeth Duwall. And, thankfully, with our help, this woman has damaged another life for the last time.”

Although her antics have inconvenienced many people over the last several weeks, the court anticipates a light sentence in view of her advanced age.

Game Four - Video

[Last day at camp was hard. He got shoved in the lake and disappeared, not coming up for air again, which he found was… fine. I don’t know if Dean or Mary got a call on that because he didn’t stick around. He got out of the lake on his own and ran home, dripping half the time, drying off half the way by time he got home.]

[He didn’t stop running, so he made pretty damn good time. Maybe no one had called yet. Didn’t matter. He made it to Dean and Sam’s door, banging on it and yelling in the hall way both their names before taking off for Mary’s and his place.]

[In his hand was his NV, which he had half been trying to text a few kids he had made friends with, tell them what was going on. For one girl he was trying to impress he sent a video, but it wasn’t just to HER because in his excitement it went to the whole network.]

MARY! MARY! Look!! [you could hear him yelling, but see the world around you wobbling. Yes, there was a blue cat, and there goes a shoe (he only had one on) and there is the bathroom. He started the tub while bouncing around, yelling] MARY COME HERE! LOOK!

[Then to the video, an excited happy face that has a bit of mud on it and looks like he pulled himself out of a lake started to talk excited to the girl he hoped would get this, shhh] If you get this Tam, look, like, I figured it out! It happened! I figured it out so watch this. I told you, I told you I wouldn’t let it get to me. Wait till they get a load of this!

[he sits the video down on the counter and as the water still runs, still in jean shorts and a black band t, he climbs into the tub, sinks under and lays there under water doing nothing]

[Seems like a long time to watch a kid drown himself, though it’s not too long. The video might time out however, who knows. Still, if you are careful you can just see his face, over the edge of the tub, and he opens his mouth to let out a muffled LAUGH. His feet start to kick and splash, but just from excitement! He’s laughing under water and not having a problem at all.]

[Oh yes, he is also making a GREAT mess of the bathroom... Sorry Mary]

A good evening to you all. I find myself in need of a new dress. I've mended my old one as much as I could. This has also made me think of others who may need clothes mended. I grew skilled at this back in my home world and would be happy to help any of you.

... [quietly to herself] Strange how I have already grown to think of it as a "world" apart from where I am now.

[Mary has found herself in a small store with electronic keyboards. Her eyes aren't visible from the way the NV is positioned so anyone watching might believe it's KOS-MOS rather than the woman she shares her body with.

She'd never had any involvement with music in the Ancient Lost Jerusalem Era, and KOS-MOS hadn't either in the future , but Mary had made a point of looking up information on her NV on how to play. Fingers lightly touched across the keys until she started playing. And when she finishes, she says very softly:]

I like this instrument.

Music makes people happy, doesn't it?
