[Video - Body Swap Event]

[dr_orpheus]

[It looks like Aqua has a bedsheet wrapped around her neck as a cape (it looks like it, because it is), held in place with a binder clip. Someone had to improvise.

When she speaks, the intonation sounds wrong for her voice, like someone is trying to lend gravity to the words but isn't used to doing it within a feminine vocal range.]

It has been several hours. You have had your fun. I would like to be placed back in my own body now.

...Aqua?!

You too? Who-?

[video]

[dr_orpheus]

Yes, I do appear to be in Miss Aqua's body.

[She sweeps the bedsheet across her body as she bows.]

Dr. Byron Orpheus, at your service.

[video]

[madeinoblivion]

...no way.

That's...weird.

But you can undo magic, right?

[video]

[dr_orpheus]

I can undo magic, but it becomes a bit more complicated when I'm removing my own soul and SWIRLING IT AROUND LIKE A TWISTEE CONE.

Re: [video]

[madeinoblivion]

Well then what did it? The Core?

[video]

[dr_orpheus]

That is one possibility.

However, there are individuals in the city who could just as easily do something like this as a misguided prank.

[i.e., he blames Loki]

[video]

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah, probably. Or someone whose jealous of your magic and Aqua's.

...You should probably go warn Terra.

VIDEO SOB OH GOD

[rainprism]

[INCOHERENT SCREAMING no, she got all of that out of her system earlier this morning.

Here is your face on the NV screen, staring at ... herself ... and then at the cape. And then back at you.

No doubt about it, she's completely and utterly mortified. It takes a moment for her to compose herself.]

... We have got to fix this.

[dr_orpheus]

[Oh. Now this is more disconcerting than he had expected.]

I find it reassuring, at least, that my habitation of your body has not caused you any harm.

[gunsling]

Try going a week.

[dr_orpheus]

Looking back through network posts, I have seen that I am not alone in this predicament. What did you have to do to return to your own body?

[gunsling]

I still haven't.
This isn't my body, and it's been six days since I was last in it.
The thrill of this entire clusterfuck is gone.

[dr_orpheus]

Thrill?

Oh.

You're the young gentleman with the [cough] butt touching.

[gunsling]

I see we've been acquainted.

[dr_orpheus]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I came across your announcement when trying to research whether this was an isolated incident or AN EPIDEMIC OF SOUL SNATCHING.

[gunsling]

Yeah.
I'm an AI.
Asses are my true calling, despite the joke played on us by paradox space.
Tearing apart those who are truly made for each other.
It's a goddamn tragedy.

[excuse him, he's just going to be laughing uncontrollably for the next decade or two.]

[the binder clip is a really nice touch, it truly adds to the entire ensemble.]

[dr_orpheus]

I'm glad you're the sort to take delight in another man's pain.

video; A MILLION YEARS LATE

[pullsheavendown]

...wow.

video; You know I will wait forever for Roxas faces like that.

[dr_orpheus]

Another friend of Miss Aqua, I assume?

[You're not one of the over-protective ones he just heard about, are you?]

video; I can do better

[pullsheavendown]

Uh huh. And I train with her sometimes.

[No, but one of the overprotective ones is his twin.]

video;

[dr_orpheus]

I do think it will be best if any training is suspended for the duration of...

[He waves his hands in front of his body being very very careful not to touch anything.]

Well, of this.

video;

[pullsheavendown]

I think it has to. Can you even call her Keyblade?

video;

[dr_orpheus]

I did not even know of the existence of a Keyblade until one of her friends informed me. I have not tried, but I'm sure I don't know the proper incantation for summoning it.

video;

[pullsheavendown]

It doesn't...have..an incantation. You just summon it and it's there.
