[o] Be Mami Tomoe

[cueball]

[This morning Doc Scratch woke up well-rested and in a smaller room, with a single bed. Plenty of things wrong with that - he never recalled feeling well-rested since coming here and knows this isn't a room in the house he's assigned. It also becomes quickly obvious that something is very wrong with his body. He stumbles out of the bed, unable to retain the proper balance he normally does, and sees just how small he is all of the sudden. He also sees something else.

His eyes quickly dart around and he finds a long mirror in the room. He cautiously walks up to it and--

...Well, he doesn't scream. But he easily becomes startled at what he sees. This body wasn't the one they gave him when he arrived in Mayfield. It's the body of a young girl. A girl who can't be much older than Rose or Jade at that. He touches the mirror, making sure this isn't an illusory trick, and that confirms it in his mind. Then the next realization comes: his connection to the Green Sun is gone, as is his omniscience. This isn't just an ordinary Mayfield prank of modifying his body. It's as if he's an entirely different person.]

--Hello?

[He says tentatively and grits his teeth afterward. His voice has even been changed to that of a girl. This isn't his assigned body. Which begs to ask: what if someone has his body then? All his powers and his omniscience. That isn't good. He needs to find his body.

..........Staring at this body wasn't going to help, unfortunately. Even if this girl is fairly cute looking, he has to have priorities right now.]

1125 Taylor Road

[After making a quick assessment of what this body is capable of, "Mami Tomoe" is now walking down the stairs and going to the kitchen. If he will be out all day in this girl's body, he may as well get something to eat beforehand. Housemates (or bodyswapped-mates even) are free to come up to him while he gets food. For those familiar with Mami, you may notice her being a bit more quiet and reserved than what may be normal. Unfortunately, Doc Scratch has never actually met Mami and has no idea how she acts. He'll have to wing it. Though he has a feeling he'll be outed eventually, keeping low until he finds a way to defend himself is necessary. Security is the top priority, next to finding the girl in his body.]

Around town

A] Before Magical Girl Transformation:
[After leaving the house, Scratch immediately begins his search on Bilko Boulevard. The obvious place to go, seeing as how the girl occupying his body should have woken up there. But, as he waits on the street with the hopes of his body walking out, he wonders if they have walked off like he did. That means they may have gone to town.

So, Scratch sets course for town to search. Anyone of Mami's CR is free to intercept, though expect a Mami who may not be acting like her regular self. Scratch is an expert in the art of manipulation, but he's playing in the dark here. For anyone else, he'll be walking around to a few places on his adventure. Clothing store (though he ignores a slight temptation to take advantage of this body and try something on), the bakery (a slight craving for sweets, which is normally not one he has) and even the library (though now none of the books he used to read are available).]

B: After Magical Girl Transformation:

[And then Doc Scratch figured out how to cause the magical girl transformation with the soul gem. It's certainly...different. This girl isn't nearly as powerful as he is, but she is certainly above average in this form. Now to test it out.

So now he's in this outfit and shooting out single shot muskets at the trees around the park. His aim is fairly good, but the free-flow of the powers he has can be challenging to control. In short - expect several bullets whizzing past the tree and possibly even grazing past you.

Along that he's also creating muskets out of thin air in his hands, making them come from the small hat, from the skirt and even having them pop up right out of his chest. He is having too much fun with this power than he would like to admit.

--But, it isn't just for fun. He's hoping that the real Mami Tomoe, in his body, will be attracted by the display of her powers being used so fragrantly. Lets hope it works.]

Phone; Later in the day

[So as the day comes to a close and it's almost time for dinner, he'll get on the phone to pose an amusing question.]

I have a thought. What if we were all stuck in these bodies for the rest of our stay in Mayfield? How would you feel about being switched with someone you know or even a complete stranger at that? I'm not saying that is what will happen, but it's an amusing thought, right?

[And a light giggle is added to the end. Yeah Doc Scratch sure did ruin Mami's reputation in one day. He'll give her some candy to make it up another time.]

[Ah. Hi Terezi. He thinks. No omniscience means not knowing for sure. Maybe his scent will be covered by this body? Maybe not?]

Excuse me?

A - Bakery

[drank_the_milk]

[Yuna's already here, looking at the various cakes and things.]

Oh, hey Mami! Didn't expect to see you here!

[whitetextgirl]

[Oh damn, someone who knows this girl. And Scratch has no idea what her name is. Ok, lets wing it.]

Oh, good day. I stopped by for some sweets and maybe a slice of cake.

B.

[redfii2hbluefii2h]

[OH SHIT THAT SURE IS A BULLET]

[Good thing he salvaged the Condesce's 2x3dent while chopping his hair. Pching!]

Watch where you're shooting!

[whitetextgirl]

[That's the Condesce, isn't it? Damn this town, springing up uncertainties like this without warning. Though Condesce is technically one of his allies, however dubious it may be, he'll be cautious regardless.]

I apologize miss, I got a little carried away. Are you alright?

Action ☆ Magical Girl

[fatedmagica]

[ Madoka will be approaching in a panic. Mami always seems so responsible and cautious with her powers... she's not someone that Madoka would peg as the type to use them like this, anyway. Worse still, there are no witches here and Madoka's afraid of what will happen if she cannot purify her soul gem. Mami must be very troubled to do this... hence, Madoka running over with the intention of grabbing her. ]

Ma-Mami-san!!!! Mami-san, what are you doing?!

[whitetextgirl]

["Mami" turns right around when Madoka grabs her, looking a little startled. Scratch's omniscience means he always knew when someone was coming toward him and when they would make it to him. He didn't even realize Madoka was there until he was touched. It doesn't feel good at all. And to top it off, it's another person who knows Mami and another person he doesn't know. Ok, play it cool.]

There's no need to be so frantic. I'm only testing to see how much the town gave me back.

[ Action: After Magical Girl Transformation. ]

[everythingforscience]

[ In Diana's normal body, she wouldn't have the reflexes that Ed's body has. But, she's definitely a perceptible sort of girl and she looks towards the bullet rain that's coming just for her.

Her eyes widen as she decides to act fast by drawing a transmutation circle and clapping her hands to make a sizable stone pillar rise up from the ground to take the hits for her. ]

Watch where you're aiming those next time!

[whitetextgirl]

[--Oh wow. That was quite a feat. The pillar suddenly shooting up is definitely interesting. He lowers the musket and gives the boy an apologetic look]

My apologies, I was getting ahead of myself. [dohoho ahead.] Did you just make that pillar come out?

[willbeurprincess]

[Handmaid jumps back as she feels the near-miss of a bullet, reaching for weapons and powers that aren't there as she turns to face this girl.]

What do you think you're doing?

[whitetextgirl]

[And, not knowing it's Handmaid, Scratch doesn't react accordingly.]

I was testing my power. No need to be alarmed.

[lovepowered]

[Of course, Shirley takes the bait.]

What? No way! That wouldn't be amusing at all! What's the matter with you? I want my body back!

[whitetextgirl]

Relax, sir, I was only teasing. I doubt they will keep us stuck here for too long. This prank is still somewhat amusing I think.

[phone]

[noluckduck]

Hell no! Whatever kinda moron is enough a douchebag to wear a freakin' cape needs to stay the fuck away from my body!

[phone]

[whitetextgirl]

[That's...Eridan's voice. But obviously not Eridan.]

Capes are rather dramatic. Maybe this person is insecure enough to think he needs to show off his status?

[suffererdualsign]

[Dualscar still hasn't found whoever has his body, but he's always interested in guns.

He watches Doc Mami curiously for a moment before indulging his curiousity.]

That's an interestin' power you have. Is there a reason you keep missin'?

[whitetextgirl]

Hm? [He holds one musket in his hand and smirks. Signless, huh?] I'm getting accustomed. But, if I slow down my movements, I promise I won't miss. Want me to test it out? [The musket is then pointed at the other troll, just to tease.]

A - clothing store

[imoutos]

[ Nadeko is just wandering around as usual, totally oblivious as to what is going on so far.. but when she randomly passes by the store and notices a very familiar face in there, she can't help but stop and stare for a few moments before carefully stepping inside, calling out to the girl. ]

Ah.. T-tomoe-san..!

[whitetextgirl]

[Oh! Someone he actually knows. But, he won't let it on to Nadeko that he's switched. Poor girl might shy away, knowing her. Now, what to call her...]

Oh, is that you, Sengoku-san? Good day to you.

B is for bitch please

[scratchedhope]

[One of those bullets could have done a lot more than simply graze. Thankfully Mami's gotten a decent handle on Scratch's teleportation powers by now, able to let it activate in tune with her instincts - she vanishes from the bullet's path of trajectory and reappears beside her old body.]

What are you doing? [Her - his voice is calm enough, but it's threaded through with tension and a muscle twitches in the masculine jaw.]

gurrrrl

[whitetextgirl]

[He quickly moves a couple feet away when his body suddenly pops up right next to him. Oh, so here she is.]

Oh good, we found each other. I was beginning to worry I would need to use more power to draw your attention.

B

[nunswithguns]

[The need to drop by 1125 wasn't immediate, given that she already met up with Esther in her own body. Still being the busybody mamabear, she's going to swing by and check things out even if no one might recognize her as she is right now.

...

That is until she narrowly dodges a bullet while taking a shortcut through the park, being tipped off by the booming sound and something like human instinct. ...Still too slow to her liking, truth to be told, but she recognizes this...

And there is NO WAY Mami would have such poor aim, to just even run the chance of harming any innocents. She knows her bbgirls are good, okay!! So with some caution, she approaches the source.

Ciel isn't unprepared in this body; she's got Esther's shotgun strapped beneath her dress, but she's well aware that a normal human can't match up to a magical girl. ...Still, let's try talking first. Depending on what sort of person this is...

LONG STORY SHORT Scratch!Mami will now be facing one (x1) red-haired woman approaching with a small frown.]

Who are you, and what are you doing?

[whitetextgirl]

[Scratch stops firing off the muskets when he hears the voice and stares at the woman. Another stranger. Did Mami Tomoe really know so many people? Figures as much. He thinks about the question the woman posed for a moment however. It sounds...strange, given the circumstances.]

A curious question. Most people wouldn't ask something like that right away when they see someone shooting muskets, right? Even in a town like this, it wouldn't their initial reaction. If I told you I am Mami Tomoe, a resident of 1125 Taylor Road, I doubt you would believe that, right?

yes suteki

[littlebluebuch]

[ So River supposes she should check on her child murdering "husband" just to make sure he's... okay? Or something. Of course, she has no idea who she's actually looking for.

So she's just going to be hanging around the house and see who shows up, if anyone. ]

throttles

[whitetextgirl]

[River's sharp. He does eventually come by 916 Bilko on his way back to Mami's assigned home. And seeing Major there, of all people, is a little...well not surprising, but odd? Major and he are on amicable terms at most, but certainly not true alleys.

So "Mami" walks up, unafraid. A body with this much power can easily take him down if necessary. On the other hand, it might not even be Major.]

Hello?
