[The face on the feed looks like everyone's favorite little half-demon spider. The look of irritation bordering on rage really isn't all that different from the growling he seems to do to a lot of people. The way that he's snarling at the camera's definitely familiar. Hell, even the swearing he's about to start doing's definitely like him, as is his acrid tone of voice. And yet, there's something not quite right about the whole situation.]

Is this your idea of a fucking joke you sons of bitches? Where is that little bastard? I'm going to beat him senseless. Screw you and your emoting bullshit. Give it back to me while I'm feeling forgiving, and I might just let you keep your damned liver.

["Kaz's" face goes ashen pale as it seems he's realized something. His voice is cracking at a high pitch when he shrieks out the next part.]

Kaz! You rotten bastard! Where the hell are you?!? I swear to god, you'd better not trash my place again, you little piece of rat shit, or we're really going to have some words when I'm back in my body, do you hear me?

[Yeah, Samantha's really not liking this body swap, not at all. She could handle the last one ok, but she's got a desire to vent this time. And she's definitely screening Diva out of this. The last thing she needs to deal with is that vampire realizing she's vulnerable in someone else's body.]

This month flew by far too quickly. [She is walking down one of the many streets in Asgard, sipping on a cool drink. It's a testament that she has been in the city for too long that she doesn't look twice at the grey, faceless citizens around her.]

Now it seems like a lucky few have traded bodies or...

Lost their bodies?

I expect they're somewhere and being used. [Her brow furrows and she pushes open a door to a small shop.] Staying calm will do you the most good. I suggest you utilize your bracelets to find...yourselves. Well, not yourselves exactly. That particular part probably stayed with you if I understand this curse correctly.

[She takes another sip from her drink before throwing it away. As the cup disappears into a trash receptacle, Hermione moves to a shelf of...herbs? At least that's what they look like.

Just then, the screen goes black.]

[ooc: Just ignore my fail. ;w; This is what I get for reading events when I'm sleepy.]

Well, well, well. Looks like the gods decided to play some more tricks on us when we weren't expecting it.

[The young woman on camera smiles- many may recognize her as the one called Nina Fortner, but for some reason, she seems more reserved than usual. More calm. If this is a person in a bodyswapped state like most of Asgard, they're doing an extremely good job at not freaking out about their situation. In fact, "Nina" looks like she's on the verge of shrugging, as if to say "well, that happened, what can I really do about it?"]

And looks like I wasn't untouched as well. Which is interesting, I suppose. It does bring up the interesting question of whether this was chosen randomly, or our changed counterparts were specifically chosen for each of us.

[A pause as "she" brushes aside some hair away to an ear.]

Also, let's say we got stuck like this for a good amount of time. Would we change on a more mental level? Or would we stay the same because our personality and thoughts are immutable no matter what body they're put in? There was a very nice story from where I came from called "The Metamorphosis", in which a man inexplicably wakes up as a giant bug, yet his thoughts and personality stay the same. Yet, in that story, his family completely changes the way they act towards him, seeing him as a monster rather than the man they used to love...

Basically...if you had to live with whatever body you woke up in, what would you do? Would you change to become more like the person you're in to please the ones closest to them? Or would you not change at all?

[That calm smile widens a tad.]

What do you think, Asgard?

[ooc: Have a bodyswapped Jacob, Asgard! Comments will be made with brightspirit.]

You know, I thought I was done with this.

[Hey Asgard, have one annoyed looking Chinese man stare at the camera. Amused? Nope!]

I just got out of my mentor's body to only be stuck in this one?! Gods, I don't know if this is some cruel joke but seriously cut the bullshit. You're just making me dislike you even more.

And whoever is in my body, better not do anything stupid or you'll regret it.

[And she cuts it. Kira will be running around in the park just to clear her head. But yes, she's stuck in China's body.]

((OOC: All replies will come from aiyaatoooldforthis!))

[Sitting on the edge of Draupnir's outdoor stage, Zessica (as Mikono) rhythmically kicks her feet against the side of the stage, a scowl in place. One day had been fun, dressing the new body up and seeing how she really looked, playing with her hair, making silly faces, that sort of stuff. However, finding out she was stuck as her friend for a second day soured her mood quickly, so she had contacted Mikono and agreed to meet her at Draupnir just to... make herself feel better pretty much.

Now she waits, looking at a flowerbed nearby before sighing and going to the bracelet's network. Cue video feed!]

Do we have any idea how long this is going to last? Because I'm really ready for my normal body back. I like my body! I like my clothes and my hair and myself! I really don't feel like myself right now, and that's really not something I want to continue.

[She sighs.]

How's everyone else holding up?

[When the feed starts, no one can be seen in the shot. Judging by the colors of the room though, it's coming from the Freya house. Someone speaks from off-screen, and to some, the voice may sound quite familiar. Why this voice is coming from the Freya house, who knows?]

First that Naoto girl, and now...



[The bracelet owner finally appears and...that sure is Trucy in Larry's clothes. Wat.]

Guys...I think the Gods really really want me to be a teenage girl. It was kinda funny at first, but...now it feels so wrong. Sorry Trucy...

[Seriously, it's Trucy, his adoptive niece! Who is now likely in his body.]

So uh, anyone else getting some weird patterns with the bodies they've ended up in?

And Naoto, did you get your body back? I swear I didn't do anything to it! [Well that came out wrong.]

[[OOC: replies will be coming from magicfailure!]]

[Hey Asgard, know that girl Chie who was in Senji's body and Senji who was in Chie's body and blah blah blah...?

Well, her body is back, but now it's dressed up a little more like this:



And she comes on the network, her arms stretched out lifelessly in front of her and her head rolled back.]

Steeeeak..... steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak.....

Must have steak...

[Look, they're determined to have fun with it. Or at least Yukari is.


ooc: replies to come from palateswap! And probably threadjacks from Yukari!Chie at bowfu, too.]

[At the current moment, there is a great deal of smoke wafting from the kitchen of Freya house. The bracelet clicks on in time to show Asbel opening a window and waving his hand in front of his mouth, coughing.

He turns, returning to the counter to show a plate of rather burnt and blackened goop on a plate. Even the rice next to it looks burnt.

Frowning, Asbel scratches his head and addresses the video.]

I don't think curry is supposed to look like this, is it? [He coughs again.]

And I thought I had it too... [No body swap or anything, Asbel is just not a good cook. At all.]

[So here comes Larry on the network, only he seems... off. More confident, perhaps? More chipper? Well whatever the reason he's got an announcement he wants all of Asgard--specifically all of Asgard's ladies to hear.]

Ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Don't have a man? Well that can quickly change. My name is Larry Butz, jack of all trades. If you can name it, I've probably tried it at least once. I'm looking for a lovely lady to spend time with here at Asgard. I'm a fiercely loyal and incredibly loving guy who's willing to give you my complete attention, if you don't mind the...uh... occasional lapse in judgement. I'll always make you smile and I'll genuinely listen to your day. All I ask in return is that you treat me with respect.

If anyone's interested, you should come look for me in the Freya district... tomorrow.


[As he's cutting the feed there's a very distinct... giggle?

Well Trucy's been body swapped with her "Uncle" Larry, and rather than freak out about it she's going to try to get him a date. She worries about him, okay?]

--es? Is there something I can assist you with?

[ 'Bernkastel' doesn't hesitate to speak. If anyone knows her, they know that it's rather stange to see her looks so... distressed. Almost immediately, "she" points. ... Only, Bernkastel isn't exactly Bernkastel at the moment. ] You know damned well what you can assist me with! What's the hell is this?!

[ 'Battler' merely tilts his head, setting 'his' bracelet on a small endtable beside him. ] I'm afraid this isn't my doing.

[ The real Battler stops for a moment, Bernkastel's back slumping ] Aaaahhh, dammiiiit.... I've finally had a chance to be a woman's body, and it's that damned witch's! [ He looks to Bern ] So, you're saying that it's the gods, right?! Well, that's great, just perfect! The one's who did this in the first place never come out of hiding at all...!

[ Bernkastel tilts her head, "her" face as expressionless as ever. For those who know Battler, it's probably an odd sight. ] I have no motive to switch our bodies, as you well can guess. [ A pause. ] As expected.

Don't you witches have a completely twisted sense of humor? In fact, I'm expecting you to burst out laughing at any second now!

I am as displeased as you are about being another's body. Our sense of humor may differ, but I'm quite comfortable in my own skin. [ Of course, her face doesn't look displeased. You'll have to take her word for it. ]

[ Somehow, it looks as though he's calmed down a bit, but he isn't quite a powerface as Bernkastel's usually is. ] Tch... Don't tell me you expect to wait it or whatever. ... It's not like I never wanted to know what it was like to be in a woman's body, but this body's completely and totally flat!

[ Bernkastel only tilts her head to the side. ] In such an upsetting situation, all you can worry about is my chest size? I don't know whether to be disappointed, or neutral, as that's what I should have expected of you.

W, Well, it is to be expected from a breast sommelier, isn't it? --But, what about you? I bet you have your own share of complaints about this entire thing, too! [ Like what if Bern's double comes... then what... ]

Of course I do. However, angrily voicing them is not going to help our situation.

... Lemme guess. Sit around and wait, right? That leaves a bad taste in my mouth...

Do you suggest doing something else? Charging recklessly will do nothing, and likely result in further punishments.
