(003) Accidental Video

[catorce]

[Greetings, Asgard! Here is yet another, you guessed it, body swap post!

This time around, however, it's apparent that the post is decidedly accidental and also much more less along the lines of questions regarding what happened, who's body is this and how to fix it. In fact, the person in question is, well. Freaking out. Rather badly, from the way the video moves around in a dizzying manner before settling down in a rather crookedly and allowing a peek at a face that some might recognize as Sora's.

Except this isn't Sora. It's Xion. And she looks rather panicked.]

Oh, no. No. No, no, no, no, no--

[...and, well, she isn't all that coherent or okay at the moment, either. The video shakes again, spinning around and capturing shots of what appears to be a room in Freya, before the bracelet seems to hit a hand surface and the feed is cut off.

She is so not going to come out of that room. Ever.]

( ooc; replies will come from fantoccinis! )

Xion, calm down! It's okay! This won't last forever!

[Thank god for names on posts - seeing this post and not knowing who was in so much pain would've killed Nakama.]

perma text 5ever yep.........

[fantoccinis]

[The reply comes after a while. Mostly because she doesn't want to use video and she doesn't want to use voice and this had been recording and-- yeah. Yeah. The text reply Nakama will receive will be short and to the point.]

Sorry

permavideo! o7

[whatagoodgirl]

You don't have to apologise. I know how upsetting something like this can be, it's my second time. But it will pass, just like all the other curses.

[fantoccinis]

Okay.

[And, almost as an afterthought:]

Hhow long will it last?

[whatagoodgirl]

I don't know, honestly. My last one was a week, but that time when everyone got beards, it was only a day. It's hard to predict how these things will go.

[There are so many things Sora wants to say. He blurts out one of them.]

What do you mean, "No!" That's a nice body!

perma text sobs

[fantoccinis]

[...ahaha SORA IN HER BODY SHOWING OFF HER FACE REPLYING TO THISSAJAAJ--]

Im sorry.

[trinitylimit]

It's okay, it's not your fault. It looks like it's happening to other people.

[fantoccinis]

Are you okaywith this?

[So Sokka's been gloriously out of touch with the what's been going on in the network lately, so he's got no idea why everyone's so crazy these days.]

Whoa there. Calm down a second. What's the matter?

[perma text 5everrr]

[fantoccinis]

Nothing. I'm okay.

[Which was a lie, but it's not like she's about to word vomit about all the things that aren't okay right now. At least she was coherent enough to reply.]

Just woke up cursed.

[permavidya for sokka]

[paintsrainbows]

[Uh huh. She sounds just peachy.]

Cursed?! What do you mean cursed?

[fantoccinis]

[She has never been peachier, man.]

The gods sometime curse the travelers. It looks like it's to draw more emotions from them.

[Sora panicking and freaking out is more than enough to grab Riku's attention, but the name attached to the post does send off warning bells. She's frightened, and that's putting it mildly, and Riku can't help but wonder if it's cause of her origins.

He'd rather keep to text, but he wants to talk to her face to face, even if he's currently sporting a dog-girl's body. Hopefully she'll look at the name that the reply belongs to.]

Xion. It's okay. You're fine.

[fantoccinis]

[Unfortunately, Riku or not, Xion isn't in the mood to show her face or voice right now. When he gets a reply, it will be strictly text, like all the ones she's done so far. At least she's calmed down enough to be rational, even if that doesn't improve her mood at all.]

I know. It's a curse. It'll go away.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

[The trouble with dog ears is that they tend to be a little more animated than some people would like. And right now those ears are bent back, as he's a little annoyed at her answer (though he manages to keep a straight face).

Text would be her comfort zone, but he really needs to actually see that she, and Sora's body, are okay.]

Eventually it will, and things will go back to normal.

...Let me see you. Even if it's just for a second.

[fantoccinis]

[It takes her a moment, but she eventually decides to do as he asks. Avoiding it wasn't going to do anything, either way. When she turns on the video feed, it's obvious she isn't, well... okay, but she isn't nearly as panicked as when the bracelet began to record by any means.

After a handful of seconds, she switches back to text.]

Well?

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[cambiante]

[ Well it isn't a recognizable face to her, but thankfully she's taken note of the poster name listing for the first time as a result of the confusion. ]

Not... to repeat what everyone else has said? But you should be fine, Xion. Promise. Did the curse just scare you or - is it something else?

[ ᴘᴇʀᴍᴀ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[fantoccinis]

[She wishes this dumb thing hadn't started to record when it did, so she wouldn't have to reply to any of these, but it's too late for that. She's a bit more rational now, so she'll just... take note of the poster's name and gently try to guide the conversation elsewhere.]

Waking up like this startled me. Sorry for worrying you, Rapunzel.

Do you know who you woke up as?

[cambiante]

Uh huh. Luckily we're really good friends. And she owns our house so it wasn't much trouble meeting up and - well. Figuring things out. [ Like how to satisfy her hunger without racking up a body count. ] As long as it's temporary I guess there are worse things. But why the "no"?

[fantoccinis]

That's lucky. I hope everybody's managed to find who they switched with by now. [partly, because she doesn't want to imagine how terrifying it could be if they haven't.] Like I said, I was really startled. :( I'm okay now, promise.

[emoticon there, of course, mostly to try and shake off this line of questioning.]

[action (sort of!)]

[abovetheprogram]

[The sight of a freaked-out Sora, well... let's just say it catches this one's attention. And panic means there's something wrong, and something wrong means there's something that needs to be fixed. So he doesn't check the name before leaving his own room at a run. Sora's room isn't that far away, after all.

And after a minute or so there will be a bitty Sora going BANG BANG BANG on the door.]

Hey, are you in there?

[action]

[fantoccinis]

[...oh, golly. Someone banging on the door of Sora's room isn't something she expected, and neither was the voice she quickly identifies as Sora's when he was younger. It takes her a moment to realize this was probably the other Sora, before she quietly approaches the door--although she's not opening it yet. Or possibly ever.

It takes her a second, but then she hesitantly responds. She could do this, if she stayed calm. Maybe. Most likely??? Yeaaaah.]

...What is it?

[action]

[abovetheprogram]

[Huh. He's not opening the door.]

Uh... hey! It's me. [Obviously] Are you okay? I saw your message on the network.

[He's just being a concerned friend that's all.]

[action]

[fantoccinis]

[Oh, of course. That hadn't been as much of a message as it had been a very unfortunate accident, but it's not like she can take it back. She just had to deal with it, for now.]

I'm okay now. Promise. [well, better than she would have been if he caught her a couple of minutes ago.] Sorry for worrying you.

[And, that...way of speaking should be a big hint that this isn't exactly Sora, over here.]
