The Bodyswap Post

[magicademymods]

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...

Anyone who knows Lea would notice that today Lea... doesn't really seem like himself. Acting grumpy and withdrawn, not really emoting outwardly at all, scoffing at everything.

This is a wildcard option for anyone who wants to thread something with Isa in Lea's body!]

Dorm Doom

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion sat up in bed slowly, looking first to the bed that she kept trying to get Roxas to sleep in, which was empty of everything but a single shell that she left there on nights when she couldn't get him in with them so that no one else used the bed. Then she looked over to Axel. As the scan showed they were the only ones in the dorm that morning, she slid down her hood. She tilted her head and gave him a small smile before sliding off the side of the bed.

The bed she slept on here like she slept back at the castle, on top of the sheets, fully clothed in jacket boots and gloves. You lot brainwashed her good, Isa....

Rapunzel hasn't had much of a chance to interact with Lea after the picnic, where he'd explained barbecue to her, but still, she notices the difference in his demeanor when she spots him in the hall. Rapunzel, for her part, hasn't dealt with a bodyswap just yet, but she knows what's been happening.

She approaches 'Lea' with a smile. "Hello." Best to start off simply; just jumping in and asking if it's someone else in Lea's body seems fairly rude.

[afterthemoon]

"Hello, Rapunzel."

The reply is a little too deadpan and formal for Lea, though it's nothing unusual for Isa.

After a moment, he adds.

"Assuming you are Rapunzel..."

[healingincantation]

"Yes, it's me... I'm guessing I'm not talking to Lea, though," she ventures, rubbing one hand up her opposite arm.

[afterthemoon]

"No, you're talking to Isa instead...

Were you looking for Lea?"

[healingincantation]

She laughs, shaking her head. Isa, yes, that makes sense. "No, not really. I just noticed you looked like... Well, if you were Lea, you'd look like you were upset."

[afterthemoon]

"Well... this situation is rather upsetting." He deadpans.

[healingincantation]

"It is," she agrees quickly. "But... I don't know. It's kind of interesting, don't you think? Although I guess it's easier for me to say that, since it hasn't effected me yet."

[afterthemoon]

"It could be worse. I could have ended up swapped with a stranger instead of my best friend..."

[healingincantation]

"I didn't know you two were that close," Rapunzel said with a warm smile. "I didn't actually know you were familiar with each other at all, but that's great. And yes, I'm sure it makes things at least a little less awkward."

[afterthemoon]

"We've been friends since we were children, we've been through... quite a bit together." There's the slightest bit of hesitation on Isa's part.

[healingincantation]

That kind of pause is something Rapunzel understands and is familiar with, as slight as Isa's is. She smiles, and nods.

"Well, I'm glad you're together here, too, then," she says, simply, because it seems like the safest bet - and of course, she means it.
