[ Those who live wherever this body is located, or those who just happen to have their SFC on them when it happens, get to be awoken by what is, undoubtedly, one of the most sudden screeches ever.

Except it doesn't last long. In fact, it cuts out pretty quickly. Then there's a panicked Oh my GOD! before the screaming starts up again.

Roxy--that is, Gale--is suddenly in the video, looking absurdly panicked. ]

Dirk. Dirky. D-Stride. Help. You go. You go and you look at my body. You go and you look at my body and you make sure it's okay. Please tell me my body is fine.

[ Wait. Pause.

She snorts. ]

Pfffft nah my body is totes fine. I need you to tell me it's safe!

[ There we go.

OVER AND OUT. ]

[If he knows that manner of speech right, and the way whoever-it-is is asking about Dirk, then...]

IS THAT YOU, ROXY?

VIDEO HERE i'm lazy

[oceanbreasts]

[ The eyes go a little wider and Roxy clutches the SFC almost desperately. ]

Kitten?

and he'll stick to text until further notice

[bethehugejerk]

KARKAT, NOT KITTEN
BUT YES, IT'S ME.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOSE BODY GOT SWITCHED AROUND, SO DON'T WORRY TOO HARD.
IT'LL BE OVER IN A WEEK.

[oceanbreasts]

[ Wow if that was supposed to comfort her you really suck at this. ]

A week? I have to stay like this for a week?!

[bethehugejerk]

IT'S A CURSE, DUMBASS.
THEY ALWAYS LAST A WEEK.

[oceanbreasts]

No fuck you just 'cause you've gone and accepted your fate doesn't mean I have to.

[ . . . ]

Oh my god I'm sober.

[ the real crime here ]

[bethehugejerk]

OH, SO YOU'RE NOT ACCEPTING IT, HUH.
WHAT ARE YOU EVEN GOING TO DO
BITCH UNTIL THE STARS GO OUT IN HOPES THAT THE SCIENTISTS TAKE MERCY ON YOU, YOU SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE YOU, AND GRANT YOUR WISH BECAUSE IT'S YOURS?
THEY DON'T CARE, THEY DON'T LISTEN, AND EVERY ONE OF US IS STUCK WITHOUT REPRIEVE UNTIL IT'S OVER.
JUST GET INTO CONTACT WITH WHOEVER THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
AND DO THE SAME FOR HIM IF HE HAS YOURS
OR WHOEVER ELSE GOT STUCK WITH IT.
JUST BECAUSE I HAD A SIMPLE SWAP DOESN'T MEAN I CAN TRUST THE SCIENTISTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

[rainbowarch]

[Being as he just got back to Vatheon and in a condition that was just one step above "dead," (Thanks, Vatheon, you couldn't have mended his other injuries as well? No? Okay.) Today was a day that was dedicated to rest and recovery.

Well, that was the plan anyway.

It's the shrieking that wakes Cielo up and he stumbles out of bed, into the hall, and towards Gale's room. Was Gale screaming? Gale doesn't scream. He nearly shoves the door to Gale's room open mere seconds after Roxy makes her SFC post.]

Gale!? The hell happened, bro!?

[oceanbreasts]

[ OKAY NOPE STRANGER BUSTING INTO THE ROOM IS NOT HELPING ANYTHING but at least doesn't start screaming. You know. Again. ]

Nope no Gales here only Roxys unless I look like a Gale in which case I suppose Gale impersonators are here hahaha...

[ Okay shh calm down Roxy you're getting hysterical. ]

[rainbowarch]

[Confirmation this is not Gale: received. Cielo puts up both of his hands to show he isn't a threat. So this is...Roxy, then? Is that this person's name?]

Calm down...you're name's Roxy, ja?

[Either Gale bumped his head on something or this is another Vatheon curse.]

[oceanbreasts]

Roxy Lalonde.

[ Alright, imminent threat: averted. Doesn't look like he's going to go in for an immediate kill, so that's good. Roxy lets her new body unwind a little before letting out a breath. ]

Sorry I'm in your bro's body. I uh...

[ She holds up a hand and wiggles the fingers, staring at them silently. ]

Didn't mean to freak out.

[rainbowarch]

It's fine.

[He commit's Roxy's name to memory. It's just so weird seeing Gale (or, his body at any rate) like this.]

I'm Cielo.

[He's glad she's not freaking out, but oh god is this the part he tells her that a demon lurks within that body and that if this curse lasts a week, she's going to have to feed it at least once? It's like what happened with Amane all over again.

He'll hold off on that for the moment, but he is going to have to tell her.]

This is the Embryon base, territory of the Embryon Tribe.

[oceanbreasts]

Cool, cool, whole group of ya then, that's fun.

[ She finally manages to pull herself up to her feet and she has an opportunity to glance down and just...

Wince.

Spandex. She's covered in spandex. Jesus christ. ]

Yeah okay no this has gotta go.

[rainbowarch]

...What? What's gotta go?

[He has no idea what you're talking about!]

[Video/filtered]

[shippingmath]

[Finding himself in someone else's body hadn't been the best experience, to say the least. He misses his body already. Even having another self on Derse hadn't been like this.

It isn't a problem as much as it is an annoyance, though. Like all of the curses he's seen so far. Still, he's kept an eye on the network from any posts from "him" or from Roxy- maybe this happened to her too. And now, he doesn't recognize the face, but there's statistically no way that this isn't Roxy.]

It's me. You're not the only one this happened to. Do you know where you are? We can go to the house and work shit out with whoever switched with us.

[Video/filtered forever because lazy]

[oceanbreasts]

[ Oh, no. If he's there, and she's here, that means there's someone out there with their bodies possibly doing HORRIBLE THINGS to them. Like touching them inappropriately or something. ]

Shit Dirk you just got all sorts of anime didn't you.

[ SHE KNOWS ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT and wow isn't that like Jake's granddaughter's body or something? Creepy. ]

I'm at a base of some sort. There's a bro here who's kinda keeping an eye on me to make sure I don't damage the new goods. The guy's friend or... whatever.

[shippingmath]

Yep. The ears are real and everything. [He'll even twitch them as proof. Just look at them, Roxy.]

I don't think Jade'll be doing any crazy shit with my body. I don't know about the guy who's probably in yours, but I can ask Jade to keep an eye on him while I head over. Unless you want me to help you get out of that base instead.

[oceanbreasts]

[ Fuck she wants to pet them. ]

Nah, I kinda have a feelin' like I should maybe stick around here, just 'cause this guy knows what's goin' on with this dude's body, y'know? But yeah def have Jade make sure mine stays safe.

[shippingmath]

[If she comes to see him in person, she can.]

What do you mean, 'what's going on with it?'

I'll message Jade. Want me to join you anyway?

[oceanbreasts]

Dunno. Feel like there's something not being said here.

[ Oh right Roxy's an intuitive sort isn't she. ]

We can hook up tomorrow though, for sure. I have got to go get clothes. I'm in spandex, Dirk. Spandex.

[0_0]

[Oop heres Aradia trying to helllpp!!]

It'll be alright! I'm sure your body's just fine and if you're worried about this being a big deal, it'll only be for a week!

[donotcomprehend]

[Oh, hey, that's his body.

... He didn't know his voice could make those sounds.]

You should remain calm. Screaming will do nothing.

action; (maybe after she returns from girly shopping with cielo?! i hope this is okay :>)

[teradine]

[Argilla had heard the scream. She hadn't even been aware Gale could show that much emotion, so it alarmed her, but with Cielo offering to take her out shopping and everything so that she could be more comfortable-- well, she supposes she'd be all right with looking over the base.

Of course, she had no idea whether they'd even been planning to come back-- or if she would've rather gone straight back to her true home.

But there they are...

Gosh Gale what are you wearin'.]

You're back...

absolutely :3

[oceanbreasts]

[ What. What. It's a totally sensible and completely comfortable outfit consisting of an oversized hoodie and some jeans.

It was quick and easy to put on and would cause the least staring.

The skirts are still in the bag. ]

Sure looks that way. 'm Roxy.

[teradine]

[Yes but it looks weird on Mr. Personality, okay!! That's okay, though, she understands that she needs to be comfortable, stuck in that body.]

...I'm Argilla.

[It feels really weird to be introducing herself to "Gale," too.]

This will take some getting used to.
