what curse could be worse? [video]

[whatagoodgirl]

[It starts when she rolls over in bed, opens her eyes, and can't see anything.

Oh, she's not fully blind - the world is just a fuzzy blur, vague shapes appearing when she squints her eyes and then vanishing back into the muddle afterward. Luckily she knows her little room well enough to get up and stumble over to the dresser, but as soon as she moves, she knows that there have been more changes made to her body than just her sight.

Very vital changes.

That causes her to leap out of bed, bashing her leg on the bedside table as she does it, and run to the mirror. She can barely even see herself, but she knows that her basic shape is different - her shoulders are a bit broader, and she can feel and see thick, heavy bangs falling over her forehead and in front of her ears. Startled, she presses her nose right to the glass; her hair looks… it looks like…

Finally, it makes sense. She feels around on her bedside table until her hands close around a pair of glasses and slips them on, and sure enough, a familiar figure appears when she looks back to the mirror.

She's somehow been turned into Jun Ushiro.

Wait, did she say it made sense? Because it makes no sense at all.]


[When she turns on the video function on her bracelet, it's zoomed in tightly on the boy's face she now possesses. Her (his?) voice is highish and hoarse around the edges, in keeping with the physical age of his body, and she sounds vaguely frantic.]

Um. Are. Are there any guys in Heimdall who are about five feet tall, maybe - 90 or so pounds? - who have some spare clothes they could bring to my room? Something really, really strange is going on.

Aa?... I haven't seen you before, but you don't sound like you're new at all?...

[whatagoodgirl]

I don't... usually look like this...

[Quietly, pretty much a whisper, since the shock has knocked the concept of private feeds out of her brain.] ... Keine, it's Nakama.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

New around here? [Sympathetic smile.] I'd lend you something of mine, but they'll probably be too large.

[Video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Um, no... I've been... changed.

It's Nakama. I just woke up like this today.

[madamemoiselle]

[The video is confusing, because it certainly doesn't match up with the name. If she hadn't been just subject to the same thing, she wouldn't have understood at all, but as it was, Diva just laughs]

Ha! I passed it onto you, didn't I? [HAHAHA] Hey, but this is new for you, isn't it? Well, enjoy the experience, I guess!

[whatagoodgirl]

It's not funny! [Bristling so hard.] It's... weird.

[Video]

[dreamsonwings]

The gods forgot to bring your clothes?!

[Video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Oh - oh no! I, um... I woke up different this morning.

I'm usually a girl.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

....? [Have a confused face.]

[Video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Laurent... did you hear me talking to the others? [His face seems to suggest it.]

[imperish]

Something strange?

[ He seems...sort of familiar, something about the voice. ]

video;

[whatagoodgirl]

Um, yeah.

I was Nakama until this morning.

[video]

[hydeandseek]

Bit too tall to help you with that. What's the problem?

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

[Far too broad, too, by the looks of it.]

Well, this may sound hard to believe, but...

[Deep breath.]

I was a girl until this morning. So I don't really have... anything to wear.

[Using text because he can't trust what expression his face is making right now. Is it flabberghasted? Surprised? Close to laughing in shock? He can't even tell.]

Ehhh, I have spare pants at least.

[whatagoodgirl]

That'd be a good start. Could you deliver them to room 805?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ne ... if you need something adjusted, my friend Nakama-neechan who lives in Heimdall is a really good --

[Pause.

That's Nakama's account name--

Scrolling through previous conversations ...]

--Seriously?

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Don't you dare laugh, Conan.

[unabashedly]

[ ...

yep, the name was under hers. ]

How did it happen?

[whatagoodgirl]

I have no idea. I just woke up like this.

Right now the two theories are a new power given to one of the houses, or a prank or punishment by one of the gods.

[nofarplaneyet]

Can't quite help you there. *Since Auron's six foot*

Someone take your things?

[whatagoodgirl]

[Why is Heimdall full of huge people (and Sollux, who apparently keeps one of everything but pants?) ;;]

They took my body, actually. This might be hard to believe, but I'm usually a girl.

[Video]

[defiesfinality]

UWOOOOH! THOSE FUCKING GODS ARE MESSIN' AROUND WITH NAKAMA'S GENES NOW! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM!!

[Video]

[whatagoodgirl]

It's okay! I don't think it's permanent! [Waving her arms in a frantic gesture that's meant to be calming but will probably have the opposite effect.] Calm down, I'm alright.

[audio]

[faints]

Are you okay...?

[audio]

[whatagoodgirl]

Roxas...

[This just gets more and more embarrassing.]

Can you see the name on the post?

[takebow]

.....

[Play it off, Yukari.]

Ooh, Nakama-kun, you're so cute.

[whatagoodgirl]

Yukari!!

[It's hard to tell if she's more scandalized or embarrassed. The two are in sharp competition.]

[video] do you mind a late tag.....

[hypertoxic]

[ Okay, normally? Vriska would not care.

But she just happens to listen to some of the responses, and catches on that this is Nakama.

And ... laughs. ]

Hahahaha! Oh my god. Nakama???? Who did you piss off??

[video] from vriska? never <3

[whatagoodgirl]

[She's doing her best to keep her dignity in the face of this, so she answers very seriously.]

One of the gods, I assume. I don't see who else could do this.
