01 ♕ ACTION / VIDEO
["Solf J. Kimblee" is currently standing near the coral, staring intently at the circles inscribed on his palms. Of course it isn't actually Kimblee, but rather Frank Archer, a newer arrival who comes from a world very similar to Kimblee's. He's certain he knows what the alchemic circles are supposed to do once they're pressed together, it's just a matter of figuring out how to get them to work. It's been years since he studied alchemy at all, and back then he wasn't able to activate any arrays. But that's not important now - he's in Kimblee's body, therefore he should be capable of using Kimblee's alchemy.
He claps his hands together suddenly, lining the arrays up perfectly before pressing his hands to the coral. He can feel something stir beneath his hands, but it's over before he can really process just what it was. Archer frowns. He pulls back, examines his hands again, and tries once more. Again, nothing happens.]
I don't understand. It should work!
[There's quite a bit of frustration in his tone. He's making Kimblee sound rather petulant, sorry about that.]
If I'm him I should be capable of doing what he does. He's capable of doing what I can!
[But that's because he's a weapon, and it isn't exactly difficult to figure out how to use the gun arm and the cannon.]
Dammit. [He goes back to examining his - or rather, Kimblee's - hands again for a moment, before opening the SFC to video.]
[The video opens to Kimblee - or rather Frank Archer in Kimblee's body - attempting to smile. It's not really working and comes off looking more aggressive than anything else.]
Hello, Vatheon. I'm afraid I haven't properly introduced myself. Now is hardly the best time for it, I'm afraid, but I do have a few questions for you all.
First of all - are these "curses" relatively common? I would really rather not be swapping bodies with people every week or so.
Secondly, for those of you who have swapped into bodies with powers, can you use those powers? Are they relatively easy to control?
Thank you very much for your time. Until this "curse" is over, I appear to be stuck in Kimblee's body; my name is Lieutenant Colonel Frank Archer. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

[This doesn't sound promising at all.]
no subject
That's all the curses I've been awake for, anyways. I've missed a few due to being in - COMA!
no subject
[That's what it sounds like, at any rate...]
Does anyone know how these curses happen? Does it have something to do with the coral?
[It's totally magical, right?]
no subject
That's just a plain silly question. The coral is - MAGIC! [Slight spazz]
no subject
[The most skeptical look, good sir.]
There's no such thing as magic.
no subject
OF COURSE THERE IS!
HOW THE HECK DO YOU THINK THIS HAPPENED?!

no subject
The person who's body you're currently inhabitly would say otherwise.
[Well, maybe alchemy but around the same idea]
[Before getting wilded up again] IT IS MAGIC IT IS!
no subject
I... see...
[Not at all, but he'll try to placate the crazy man here...]
Magic, then. I take it that's something common in the world you're from?
