4 - You said that as you dryly laughed [Video] (Backdated to monday)

[ Well.

This is terribly disorienting.

Anna doesn't say much after blinking awake, but that may mostly be because there is color, everywhere.

It's so fascinating that she almost doesn't notice that she's the wrong size, and somewhere completely unfamiliar. Almost doesn't notice that she can't feel anything but herself.

Welp. Guess who needs to explore - and who hasn't put glasses on yet. It's a good thing that the colonel was sleeping clothed, isn't it? ]

[ Hello network. How are you this fine morning. Are you ready for a bizarre question from Jade Curtiss? ]

What do you call this color?

[ And in one hand, Jade is holding up something this color. It might be the sleeve of a particularly brilliant sweater. ]

If it was on an apple, I would call it that....

( (Anna is in Jade Curtiss's body, as you can see~)

Colonel, are you... quite alright?

So Jade is a Colonel.

[ Does this answer your question? ]

Ah... yes. Jade is a Colonel.

Why doesn't Jade lay down for a time until Jade is willing to speak coherently again, yes?

[ Now she's judging you, kitty man. ]

I understand full and complete sentences, so you don't need to use names as pronouns.

If this is some kind of joke, I'm afraid I've missed the punchline.

I think it is a curse. I normally sleep in the bar.

[ And she's normally not this tall, with glasses, or a man. ]

A curse...?

Just what is happening? Are you alright, Colonel?

... When your mark glows, and strange things happen.

.... My name is Anna.

[ Does that clear things up, or just make it all worse, Alister. ]

... And you didn't answer my color question.

What--

If this is a curse, then where is the real Colonel Curtiss? What happened to him?!

Maybe he is at the bar, where I should be. Only he would look like I ought to, which is small and white haired and with red eyes.

[ And. You know. A girl. ]

Wait... so you've... swapped bodies? How is that even poss--

...

You know what? Never mind. Where is this bar?

In the plaza. It has a round sign that says HOMRA.

If you have claws, you may get yelled at for not being careful with the floor.

[ Because you look like a kitty, mister. ]

--yes, I do have claws, but I keep them well-covered. What matters right now is finding the Colonel and making sure he's still sane.

That, and getting the both of you back into your proper bodies. Are you in his quarters, currently?

I think its a coral thing. Like when there were mages and healers and warriors, or when you lost something you liked and gained something you wanted.

[ Oh. That is a good point. ]

You should tell him not to look through marbles at people. It won't be good.

[ She can read minds, usually. And looking about now. ]

I think so. I was in bed.

I'm quite familiar with some of these curses by now, and I can assume I was even more so with my prior time here. Sometimes, I wonder how only some can be affected.

--anyway.

I want you to stay put for a moment. We'll go and find the Colonel together, alright?

Okay. Then will you tell me what color this is?

[ Because that is clearly more important than finding yourself in an adult man's body. ]

--you're not going to cooperate until I answer, are you?

I will keep asking.

[ Which could be better or worse. ]

[SIIIIIIIGH.]

Green. Alright? It's green.

Green is very bright.

[ But Anna-who-is-Jade will be sitting there in Jade's room when Alister gets there.

Possibly wearing the terrible sweater. ]

Something tells me being in the Colonel's body is... different for you, aside from the obvious. [Being so fascinated with all of these colours now... had the girl been blind, prior? If she and the Colonel were to be swapped back, she would lose this newfound ability.

But in turn, the Colonel would lose his own. That just wouldn't do.

Being in the room next to his companion, the Lombax is quick to simply push the door open, searching for that familiar brown head.]

Colon--

...Anna?

It isn't as noisy.

[ She means this in a different way than ears. ]

But I can see the things that aren't red now.

[ Hello. ]

... You look like a cat.

--so I was correct to assume you had partial vision, prior? [Maybe... he felt a little sorry for her, having to live in such a manner.] I apologize, but... I would prefer that my companion have his own body back. I can't allow him to suffer this way.

[The General is small enough to keep eye level with the... former Colonel, but the sight of the man acting so childlike still unnerves him. A small laugh comes, but it's hesitant, and a little uneasy.]

Do I, now? I've never noticed.

[Yes he is a space cat alien man what's your point.]

I am very color blind.

[ She nods, then looks thoughtful. ]

You know how to undo curses?

[ She thinks for a moment longer. ]

I got a headache after not wearing glasses. I didn't know that Jade needed them.

Well, I would assume having the glasses off for an extended time wouldn't be best for his eyes. You'll need to be more careful if we're all going to get out of this sane, alright?

As for undoing curses... I'm afraid that's beyond my power. If I can manage to get you both together again, it would be better to try and sort things out.

[Oh, what a curious question.]

I believe that would be the colour 'green'. It's a rather bright green though.
