[For those who know Shinjiro Aragaki, they'll have reason to be concerned. He may very well be ill, because when is the last time you saw him crying, whimpering, and panicking at the same time? In fact, when have you seen him do just one of those things at all?]

Um, Yu-kun? Anybody around? I ain't in my apartment anymore. I think there's something wrong with my operating system. Am I seein' things right?

['Shinjiro' looks at himself in the mirror. He's also speaking with a really funny accent.]

I can move around and stuff, but I...I feel weird inside. There's all this wet stuff in my mouth and my body's makin' weird noises too. It don't sound too happy...

[She's hungry. She's never needed to eat before.]

((Replies will come from redpeacoat!))

[Uh, this is a very . . . special broadcast. It's not everyday you see someone so strong looking as a mess. And this strange talk of operating system -- what's up with that?]

. . . your body's making' weird noises? What do they sound like?

[redpeacoat]

Am I glad t'see you!

[Hey, it's that nice kid who helped her get her bearings during her arrival!]

Sounds like a dog growlin' when it ain't too happy.

[lunaria]

[Uhh, who is this? The speech pattern is vaguely familiar.]

A dog growling? You sure you're not just hungry? Maybe you're drooling for food.

[redpeacoat]

...Oh, that's right! Humans gotta eat, don't they.

[She smiles a little. How silly of her to forget. Lunch is an integral part of the school day, but apparently that's not the only time they need to eat.]

[lunaria]

[?]

Yeah, they do. [Oh, wait, he mentioned something about an operating system before. Just by the wording of that, Kurow can infer a thing or two. Not to mention the network is in an uproar about a new curse or some such.] Uh, you do know what you're supposed to eat, don't you?

[redpeacoat]

...

[Yea-maybe-....nope.]

I saw'em eating stuff at the masquerade. This pink liquid in a bowl, and these little flat squares with pick stripey stuff and white goo on'em.

[lunaria]

[That's . . . a very interesting way to describe certain foods.]

Yeah, those: those are the kinds of stuff you're supposed to eat. Otherwise your body will conk out if it doesn't get all outta whack from the lack of substances. So be sure to eat, like, three times a day!

For a moment Yukari can only stare. Because even though that's Shinjiro-senpai, there's no way that can be him, right? This body swap business is weird, so if she's swapped with Yosuke, then who got senpai's body...?

He knows Yu-kun, too--]

Who... who are you?

[Mostly ignoring the content of the post, but hey, it's an important question!]

[redpeacoat]

[...Oh hey! A familiar face!]

Yosuke! Am I glad t'see you! I think I turned into a human! A real one this time!

[tsuncanned]

[sob you didn't answer her!!]

...I- I'm not Yosuke!

Sorry, I'm--

[Damnit, is there any use to introducing herself like this? Oh well... sigh.]

We got switched, just like you. This is Yukari...

[redpeacoat]

[She hoped you know her by the way she talked! ;w; Saaaad robot.]

You're not? But you're-

[Okay, something's started to click. How'd they do that? Who did it?]

Yukari? My name's Labrys...

[tsuncanned]

[Yes, yes, she looks exactly like him, she is very aware. Sob, don't be sad or you'll just make her feel worse ;; Even though this is in no way her fault...]

Labrys...

[Okay, now she has a name to work with.]

You're in Shinjiro-senpai's body. He's a friend of mine-- and you're right. He's definitely human.

[redpeacoat]

[She's trying. This is all too weird. All these odd sensations...]

D'you guys always have this pain down here?

[She puts her hand on her stomach.]

I didn't break'im, I swear...

[tsuncanned]

[Pain in his stomach doesn't sound good. But then again, the image of Shinjiro-senpai in pain just... isn't good in general, so she she looks concerned at first.

...But then she remembers what was said in the original broadcast.]

You said it made a weird noise?

[redpeacoat]

Yeah, it still does every once and a while.

Y'got an idea on how to fix it?

[tsuncanned]

[Sighing a bit.]

Well, I'm not you, so I can't be sure. But it sounds like you're hungry.

[Does she at least know what hunger is, even if she's never felt it...?]

[ ???????????

this

broadcast... ]

[ unsuredly, ] Uh, I think you're gonna need to be more specific than that...

[ wow figures this weirdo would know yu though. ]

Re: voice

[redpeacoat]

[This broadcast is special. Only in Vatheon.]

More specific? I can't exactly cut myself open an' take a gander or I'd do my own maintenance.

voice

[raincoats]

[ well he still doesn't really know what this guy's talking about, but.. ]

Maybe you should try contacting a doctor, then? Vatheon's got a lot of 'em. I mean they'd probably ask you the same thing though, like what you mean by "wet stuff", but.. I guess if you knew that you would've already mentioned it, huh.

[ ... ] You didn't take any drugs or anything like that, right?

[ really wouldn't put it past him judging by his appearance. ]

[redpeacoat]

A doctor? Like a researcher?

[If yes, HELL NO. Those guys are bad.

Hey, saliva is new and fascinating and slightly bothersome at the moment. This is nothing like what she experienced the last time.]

What are drugs?

[raincoats]

[ is this conversation actually happening adachi needs a moment here.

... ] Err, nevermind. And no, I meant like a medical doctor.

[ the kind you get.. drugs from..

he's also pretty sure that research 'doctors' are called scientists, but he'll cut the kid some slack because not everyone can be as smart as adachi!! ]

[redpeacoat]

[It is totally happening, though after this is all over, it would be advised not to piss this person off.]

So I need one of these medical doctors to help me do a system scan and set this body straight. You're gonna at least tell me how to find one, right?

[raincoats]

[ this is definitely hurting how he perceives shinjiro aragaki we'll just say that. ]

Ahaha... I-I'm not... [ a pause. ] Um, well I guess I can give you the doc's name. Muraki? Yeah, him. Kazu-something...

[redpeacoat]

Muraki? I'll just do a search on this guy's starfish thing. You're a real life saver, I ain't gonna let this thing get the better ah me.

[raincoats]

[ saving lives, that's just what he does. ]

Yeah, he shouldn't be that hard to find. [ an awk pause; he's even rubbing the back of his neck. ] Right, well.. good luck with that.
