[Your video feed for the morning opens to a very red-cheeked young lady with orangey hair. Orihime appears to be herself again today!

She also appears to be kind of mortified]

Umm! Good morning, everyone!

I'd just like to apologize if you saw me the other day and I wasn't acting like myself. I know it happened to a lot of people, but me and Kurosaki-kun switched bodies! So if I was swearing a lot or looked really angry, please don't take offense! I'm not actually angry with anyone! He was just upset at the time, that's all!

That's all I wanted to say, really! How has everyone else been?

[Thankfully Annie's awaken back in her own body. She's still very much unnerved by the experience of being trapped in a man's body for a days on end. It's truly not an experience she wants to remember.

She hadn't even been able to function enough to contact Finnick and let him know what was going on. She hadn't wanted him to see her like that. Someone not herself.

She's wandered to the lake, and is pacing back and forth on the water's edge, her eyebrows drawn together as she shakes her head.]

You all said this place was better! They never turned me into a man at the Capitol! How's this place better? [She might be just a little angry on top of unnerved. She'd believed this place was better. Had truly believed it.] Lies. This is not better.

[ what madness is this, claudia posting in the afternoon? as evidenced by her surroundings, though, she is in a store of some type. what passes as a department store in a not so modern city. euridice taverna may, or may not, be sighted within the background. after a certain incident, the "numa numa incident," claudia has been shopping with her suitemate for most of the day. and well, it can be rather boring! especially since she wants to finish as soon as possible to return to bed. (there are awful bags beneath claudia's eyes, much as she tries to hide it. concealer can do only so much.) it seems the more she wishes to leave, the slower time passes. ah, relativity... certainly, someone will humor her? ]

I know certain Travellers hunt, but who are they? And which of you would... Escort me in my own hunt? I like these modern things, veramente, these modern... [ a hand motion, as though claudia can't think of the word she wants. something close to "rules" or "standards." hunting is perceived differently in asgard than in renaissance italy. she shakes her head, the word lost. ] Still... I miss my home. I miss what we do, when bored, in my home. But to do so, here, it wouldn't be as fun alone. [ claudia smiles. ] We do not need hound or hawk, just horse and each other. What do you say?

[ let's kill things to find out who can. ]

How anyone thinks... transporting or switching someone's mind and placing it into another body is humorous is beyond me.

It makes me wonder -- what is truly defined as normal in this world? Perhaps someone can humor me with an actual answer.

[Muttered off to the side, she makes a comment of "Wonderland".]

[Castle's got a look on his face like the cat who ate the canary. This is never good.]

So when I heard about the upcoming Traveler Fest, I knew that I had to offer my talents in some way. I'm pleased to announce that during the Fest, I will be doing a live reading from my latest work Heat Rises, the third book in my wildly successful Nikki Heat series. Nikki Heat, of course, is based on someone we all know and love...

[He smirks because he knows Kate is going to kill him. And no, he's not sorry.]

Additionally, I'll be signing copies of my books after the reading, which will be available for purchase. I'm planning on donating a portion of the proceeds to the Forensics Unit, so that they can continue their efforts to make Asgard a safer place for us all.

Long story short: my rich baritone voice reading an excerpt from a bestselling mystery novel, which also happens to have been written by me. Traveler Fest. Be there.

[Yes, Castle thinks this is important enough to make an announcement about and he's incredibly happy with his decision to participate in Traveler Fest. He hopes that by giving a pre-annoucement about it, it will help to draw a crowd to his stall.]

[private to Beckett]

So. How about that date?

[Once again, he starts off the feed by fiddling with displays. It seems to be his pass-time. Or it could just be a way to not discuss the whole people switching bodies thing. After a moment, he fixes his eyes on the recording point.]

So I've been thinking. I still don't have a job to pay for anything, even though I seem to get to have the basic stuff without having to pay for it. But it'd be nice to be able to buy other stuff.

Anyway, the power I got when I got here was speed. So maybe I could do deliveries for people? I wander around the city a lot, so I know my way around pretty well. I wouldn't care what you'd want me to deliver, either. So long as I can carry it or put it in a backpack.

Would anybody be interested? I can run deliveries for businesses or just people in general, I'm not picky.
