The Bodyswap Post

The Bodyswap Post One: Nothing Wrong With Me In the blink of an eye, disaster strikes: disaster, in the form of a chaotic misassociation of minds and bodies. Everyone immediately blames Headmaster Birony. But for once, zaniness isn't her fault; a faulty spell has collapsed and sprawled across the campus like so much mayonnaise falling from an ice cream scoop, infused with powerful chaotic energies that make it so difficult to counteract. And so here you are: trapped in a body that is not yours. Something's Got To Give At the same time, the multicolored, feathered, amorphous blob monster has emerged without warning, lurching from its attenuated connections with the two innocent students who were used for its summonings into the light of day once more. As they promised, the faculty immediately springs into action, capturing the beast in an immense and convoluted magical cage, which it promptly squirts out of because it is now the size of a cantaloupe. In this form, the creature has no power beyond annoyance, and the staff are pretty distracted at the moment (Professor King, for example, is currently a frog), so catching it is low priority. Students are advised to be cautious around it, as it has a tendency to gnaw on things like homework, legs, buildings, and complicated spellwork. On the other hand, wouldn't catching it be worth some renown and recognition -- especially if you managed it in a body not your own? Push Me Again, This Is The End Perhaps shockingly, the Sundered aren't the only people affected by this mess of Modification. Students by the dozen find themselves in the wrong bodies, and that means the Magicademy is chaos. Cat familiars given human form raid the newly-reopened Great Hall, stealing every piece of food they can and knocking down every glass, book, or valuable item left on a horizontal surface above ground height. Unscrupulous souls take advantage of the anonymity in new forms to steal, bully, swipe, or even just catch a glimpse of attractive students of their desired gender at inopportune moments. Others are taking respect of their new bodies so far that they, well, kind of smell thanks to their unwillingness to bathe. Though classes continue as normal, attendance is a nightmare. In short, chaos rules the Magicademy, and spills over uncomfortably often into those doing their best to muddle through... LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR! This is the wildcard option. We just wanted to put that in a heading. Bodies? Bodyswap? Get it? Eh? Eh? Never mind...

As soon as the pink puff of smoke clears Yugi is even shorter than he was and looking down at his own feathered hands. He laughs, about to exclaim something similar when... he finds that he's looking up at himself?

What.

It's surreal, and it takes him a moment to snap out of staring, but at least he's not the only one looking ruffled.

"Uhoh is right. I think we might have... messed this up..."

[woo_oo]

"Maybe a little bit." Guess this means she's in his body? Curious, she reached up to touch "his" hair. "Always wondered how you got it in this shape! This is still kind of fun, even if we didn't get it exactly right!"

She sees no reason to panic... yet.

[puzzlers]

YET.

He didn't think he could get much shorter, but here we are! He lifts his feet up to get a better look and then, like her, is going to touch her hair. It's so normal! At least compared to his own. And despite his crazy hairstyle his hair is actually pretty soft! But it's obvious that it takes some extra effort to get it looking like that.

"But this is still pretty neat. I wonder if I'd be good at that obstacle course now." Chuckles.

[woo_oo]

Webby glances over, and grins. "Oooh, now there's something I've been curious about..."

Without any further warning, she suddenly scoops up Yuugi into her arms, laughing. "Wow! I really am light!"

[puzzlers]

"And what's thaaahhhttt!!!" He bristles as soon as he's scooped up, because he hadn't been expecting that, but when he realizes just what she'd wanted to do he can't help but laugh.

"Or maybe I'm just really strong." Yugi laughs again, because he's half kidding. He's been working on getting stronger!

[woo_oo]

Webby grins, and then begins lightly tossing Yuugi up and down in her arms. "This is the best incorrect spell I've ever seen! We can have so much fun like this! I wonder if our friends will notice?"

[puzzlers]

"It's not half bad." He would have thought an incorrect spell would have been a lot worse, but this isn't bad at all. He did want to be a duck, after all. "I don't know. Let's see you try to be me."

[woo_oo]

"Okay!" She sets Yugi down, and begins to... strut.

"Boy, I love being a human and having skin, it's the best!"
