[histories]

[Here's a familiar face, Asgard! Except her behaviour is nothing like that which you might be familiar with at all!]

My... It looks like I haven't had the fortune to avoid this new occurrence! Just so no one's too horribly confused with these switches in physical appearance, this is Keine Kamishirasawa reporting in with the appearance of Akari Mizuhashi.

Ah, it's been a while since I've felt this youthful and full of energy... Maybe this explains how cheerful Akari always seemed!

In any case, has anyone seen Akari just yet? It might be appropriate that we met, just to even certain potential problems out before they happen. 'Prevention is better than cure', yes?

Thank you for your time. [an informal half bow like she always does (albeit in the wrong body), before she shuts the feed off]

Comments

[rowinghistory]

H-Hahi?! Keine-san, that's you right? Do you know what's happened? [As pretty as Keine is, Akari felt VERY UNSURE ABOUT WAKING UP LOOKING LIKE HER.]

[histories]

It seems to be another 'event' of sorts! [talking to herself is so surreal really]

Many pairs have swapped appearances with one another, it seems. I feel especially bad for those that switched bodies with those of the opposite gender...

[rowinghistory]

It's a bit of a scary event... [Oh god thinking about that though that's--SHRIEKS.] A-Aha, that's true, isn't it... I'm glad that I ended up trading with you at least.

[histories]

Oh, as do I! In fact, I believe I look prettier by a little bit for now! [chuckling a little! a bit of flattery never hurt anyone] I'll be sure to take good care of your body, so you don't have to worry at all, Akari.

[rowinghistory]

H-Hahi, um, I think you're very pretty as you usually are, Keine-san. [She's easily flustered what can I say...] Oh, right! And I'll do my best to take care of your body too.

[histories]

Oh, yes! And... [give her a moment as she tries to recall a term she's learnt while she's here] What about allergies? Is that what you call them?... [trailing off a little] Do you happen to have any kinds of food or things your body can't handle whatsoever?

[rowinghistory]

Oh, yes, those would be allergies! I don't have anything like that, so you can rest assured about eating. I don't have any long-term illnesses or things like that either; please feel free to go about as you would do in your own body.

[histories]

Right! The same goes for me; there isn't any sort of food I have specific trouble with, so do feel free to treat my body just as you would your own.

[rowinghistory]

Hahi, okay! Hmm, it feels nice having such long hair like this. [She's swishing about in place so her hair moves around. It's fun...]

[histories]

It does feel a little too much on the warm side sometimes, though! Maybe you should keep your hair long as well!

[rowinghistory]

Ehehe, I wonder... I'm not sure if long hair would really suit me.

[histories]

Well, it doesn't hurt to try it! If it doesn't suit you, you could always simply cut it after.

[rowinghistory]

Hmm, I guess that's true... It would be a little sad to part with all that hair though, even if it didn't suit me in the end. [Only Akari would get sentimental over imaginary hair...]

[histories]

Ah... That's true. I've lived quite some time maintaining that length of hair, so I could never imagine cutting off a great deal of it at a go.

[rowinghistory]

Mm... I can't help but think it would be a little sad; it would be like letting go of a part of you that's been together with you for so long, you know?

[histories]

To an extent, I suppose? [this is almost getting a little way too abstract]

[rowinghistory]

[She's silent for a bit longer, seeming to ponder it, before waving a hand dismissively.] Ehehe, well, never mind! It probably sounded strange.

[histories]

[seeing herself behave like that seemed a little weird, to be honest! But that's okay.] Just a little! But I've definitely heard much stranger things.

[rowinghistory]

Really? What kind of things have you heard before, Keine-san?

[histories]

Seen and heard, to be precise! Have you ever seen hair that had a mind of its own?

[rowinghistory]

Hair that had a mind of its own...? I haven't, I haven't!

[histories]

Yes, see - There's a type of spiritual creature, or youkai, where I came from. They look very much like a bunch of hair, and sometimes, they would sneak into the houses of people to eat away their hair, before attaching themselves onto their heads.

Then after some time, they would suddenly move on their own and frighten their victims, before slipping away!

[rowinghistory]

Hohe?! That sounds like a really scary youkai... I hope it wouldn't eat my hair.

[histories]

At the very least, I don't believe I've ever noted the presence of any such youkai in this realm, so don't worry about that.

[rowinghistory]

[breathing a sigh of relief] That's good to hear... I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep at night knowing something like that was in this place!

[histories]

[that makes her give a bit of a chuckle] I know what you mean. The first time I've heard of such a youkai, I had the exact same troubles... [except in your own case the threat was real enough]

[rowinghistory]

Did it ever come to steal any of your hair, Keine-san? [That would be sad man, her hair is so pretty!!]

[histories]

In the many years of my life? A fair few times. It's a good thing I have a habit of setting up various traps meant just for such youkai. [that and she doesn't sleep all that much, truth be told]

[rowinghistory]

Ohh, I see! As expected of Keine-san... You seem like the type to be very prepared.

[histories]

Oh, no... It's only just as much as anyone else, really!

[rowinghistory]

Are you sure? After all, you were able to help me with setting up ARIA Company before... Have you done that kind of thing before too?

[histories]

Oh, something like that. I've set up a school back home, so you could say I'm not all that new to organization.

[rowinghistory]

Hoheee, I see... [She nods.] You seem like you'd be a good teacher.

[histories]

Just about as good as any other person could be, I suppose! Teaching is really just about sharing knowledge, after all.

[rowinghistory]

Sharing knowledge... [She hums in thought then nods.] Hahi, I think all the people I know who are like teachers are like that.

[histories]

In a sense, you could say that everyone are teachers in their own right - it's just the amount of time one spends on doing so, and the amount of knowledge that differs.

[rowinghistory]

Hmm, when you put it like that, I guess it's true. Some people have just been teaching longer, hehe.

[histories]

That's right.

Well then, I suppose I'll not keep you from business! I'll be at the Company as well, later on. [if only to assure people that business will be as per normal... or if they decide to act like each other in the end]

[rowinghistory]

Hehe, alright! I'll look forward to seeing you later on today then.

[histories]

Very well.
