The Magic of Switching

[saving_sound]

[Action]

[Those watching a certain piano performance at Draupnir are treated to an odd sight. In the midst of a beautiful piece, the pianist suddenly stops with a look of mixed pain and surprise. That expression quickly changes to one of horror when "he" notices the stage and the audience. After a very awkward pause, "he" mumbles a small apology and stumbles offstage.

Other actors or folks who may just happen to be at the Draupnir, particularly backstage, are free to pester the guy. Particularly since he appears to be in tears at his own reflection. Um.]

[Video]

[And for those who aren't at the Draupnir, have a terrified to tears guy on the network! Or is it really...?]

I-I think I've b-become Rutherford-san... s-somehow...

Wh-what's going on?

...Are you alright?

[histories]

Ah... Hibiki? [this one here doesn't even need to look at the name tagged onto the post to know who it is. she's just that perceptive about people...]

Calm down. It's likely that this won't be lasting very long, just like everything that has happened before. [this demeanor of 'Akari''s might not seem all that familiar with Hibiki... assuming, of course, Hibiki's met with Akari before.]

I'm not me anymore! Or, I mean, I am, but...

[Even the body language is weird. It's something you might expect of a young girl.]

I'm not Rutherford-san, but for some reason I look like him now!

[saving_sound]

Ah...

[She... doesn't recognize this person, and she's too confused for the thought to occur to her. It doesn't help that her side hurts for some reason to boot.]

Y-yes, this is Hibiki. And... the gods are making us look like each other?

Stay hidden.

[Of all the people why Hibiki?]

[Voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

A curse or so it would seem. Don't panic. [It's a bit easier for her to stomach thanks to inventions like the Polyjuice Potion and various body-swapping curses/charms.]

Action

[dawns_early_light]

[Despite all the bodyswapping shenanigans going on, Lyon's inner sense of responsibility was just too much to allow her to stay home from work. She's been quietly cleaning up in the back, still trapped inside Frey's body, but the sight of what appears to be Eyes crying in front of a mirror is a little too much for her to ignore.]

Um... excuse me...?

[histories]

Well, not exactly. It looks like some of us are getting our spirits switched between our bodies.

I'm not so sure about the details, however.

[twilighteyes]

[When the piano stopped mid-piece, it was difficult not to notice- if there was one thing he could be certain about, it was that Eyes took his performances seriously.

Which is why when he notices Eyes' absence on stage, he decides to take a look around for him, concerned that something had happened to make him abandon the stage so early.

The sight of him crying, however, was not what he expected. He should probably leave him alone..... but...]

....Eyes?

[onukata]

...How did this happen?

[Because Eyes has no luck with any gods in any world.]

Hidden?

[Voice]

[off_tune]

A-another curse? But... how--

[SO MUCH CONFUSION, although it is serving to nudge some of the panic away.]

Action

[off_tune]

["Eyes" suddenly freezes as if caught in a headlight.]

I-- umm...

[off_tune]

S-switched?

[Wait a minute, so that would mean...]

Then Rutherford-san is in my body right now?

[off_tune]

["Eyes" looks up in confusion, before rapidly shaking "his" head.]

I- I'm not...

I'm Hibiki, not Rutherford-san. S-something weird happened...

[histories]

That... would likely be the case, I believe.

Action

[dawns_early_light]

Are you all right?

private text;

[instant_tea]

Yes, it might be better for you. [And his reputation, but that's only part of it...]

And try to stay calm.

[off_tune]

[salfkjslfad

And back to looking like she's about to cry.]

Action

[off_tune]

[Shaking head so much here.]

I-I'm... I'm stuck in Rutherford-san's body... But I'm not Rutherford-san...

[off_tune]

Ill try where should i hide though??

[twilighteyes]

....Hibiki....? [He didn't know who that was, but... They looked so upset. Even if the sight of such a thing on the fact of Eyes was a bit bizarre, he couldn't help but feel bad for them.]

....I am afraid this is the work of the gods. People are somehow switching bodies....

[histories]

Hibiki! There's no need to cry! Many of us have gotten our bodies swapped too, just calm down for now, alright?

private text;

[instant_tea]

You can't find anywhere?

[off_tune]

I-I'll try...

[This is just so upsetting. Why is this happening...?]
