7 Things to Fight For - Freaky Friday Edition. (Backdated)

[tofightfor]

[A. 2235 Stevens Road]


[Another day another.... Wait. The sun isn't coming in the window like normal. Dammit. Did that stupid drone screw up how she'd set things up again? An annoyed groan will slip out as her arm comes up so that the crook of her elbow can cover her eyes and wait... what? She doesn't... Completely sound like her and that arm wrapping around her eyes doesn't feel... Right.

Something's wrong. Quickly, Fang's shifting, throwing her legs over the side of the bed to see... Why is her skin not tan? And... And why do her legs seem so short?

Normally this would be the moment where Fang darts out of bed and heads for a mirror if it weren't for the fact that she nearly trips over her own two feet.

However, once she does get to that mirror she's shocked. It doesn't take Fang long to rip through the room, finding something, ANYTHING, to wear and, with a better feel on movement, she's zipping out of the house and into the street. Only then will she take a moment, glancing around quickly, obviously on high alert as she attempts to figure out just WHAT THE HELL is going on here. Do you dare approach the guarded looking girl?]



[B. Phone]



The 'ell is goin' on 'ere!?! [The pronunciation will definitely ring of a certain non-aussie, but the actual accent is awkward and somewhat lost, making the words sound pretty strange at best.]




[C. The Park]


[Yup, there's one rather unhappy and somewhat guarded looking little raven haired chick venturing around. She seems to be looking for someone at least though, maybe you can help her find them?]

Comments

B. phone

[chibi_emperor]

[ Have a mightily annoyed 'woman' answering the phone. ] That much should be obvious. They're fucking with us again.

C. The Park

[walking_nukebird]

[Hey, "Xion," check it out! There's another raven-haired chick in the park. Only this one also sports big black raven wings. She's jumping around fluttering her wings, as if trying to learn how to fly. Instead, she just looks rather silly.]

[imaginarynumber]

[Another awkward, nervous stroll through the park when she notices something odd.

It's her.

Cue the tall frame scrambling past the foliage to close the gap between them, yelling with a familiar, but accentless voice.]

Hey! Hey you there! Excuse me!

Re: B. phone

[tofightfor]

Again? Then done sumthin' like this before?

[tofightfor]

[I.... whhaaaa?]

You... Okay ova' there?

[tofightfor]

[Wait... wait... WHAT? ... Wow... Fang never realized... How tall she looked when others had to look up at her and... Yup, that damn cowlick was still there.]

Guess you got mine, eh?

[walking_nukebird]

Huh?

[The woman stops flapping about. She spreads her wings out to balance herself, though she seems a little woozy.]

Oh, um—hi—! I'm okay ... mostly. As okay as I'm gonna get.

Re: B. phone

[chibi_emperor]

Not really like this. But they like playing fuckery with us every now and then.

[tofightfor]

[The response is going to earn a slow tilting of her head.]

You sure about that?

[tofightfor]

That's what everyone keeps sayin'.

[walking_nukebird]

Yeah. Just dizzy.

[—ugh dammit world stop spinning—]

Flying with wings is a lot harder than it looks ...

[chibi_emperor]

Of course they do. It's the truth.

[tofightfor]

'aven't seen anythin' t'prove 'em wrong yet. [A pause.] So 'ow long ya been 'ere?

[tofightfor]

[Fang is silent for a moment while watching the girl.]

Is that so?

[chibi_emperor]

A while. [ Wait, let him think about that for a while. ] I got here in October last year.

[tofightfor]

[That's get a slow nod. From what she had seen of the calendars around here that was.. around 8 months.]

That is sum time. Take ya've seen a lot, yea?

[chibi_emperor]

Seen and experienced. [ He does not need any more weird operations. ]

[tofightfor]

[A pause for a moment while she considers.]

Which ones ya been through?

[chibi_emperor]

Stupid surgeries, cannibals. Among others. [ Though he had to admit, the surgeries had been worst this far. ]

[tofightfor]

[So this one had been part of the surgeries she'd heard about.... A slight nod is given as she contemplates.]

What else ya been through?

[chibi_emperor]

[ Anyone who didn't get one had been lucky. ]

That love-crap and when people were shrinking and growing...There's been surprisingly little of their shit the last few months, actually.

[tofightfor]

[Now that's got her attention.]

Normally a lot more goin' down?

Sorry about the wait! Last week was a mess. D:

[walking_nukebird]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like I've got four arms rather than a pair of arms and wings. And just flapping doesn't work like I thought it would. I dunno what I'm doing wrong ...

[chibi_emperor]

At least feels like it.

They're losing their touch. The worst thing they've done since the operations is the switches, and that's not even that bad. [ He's got powers in this body. Pretty cool powers. Especially since he hasn't gotten his own back yet. ]

It's ok! This past week was crazy for me.

[tofightfor]

[This will cause Fang to give pause.]

Can't say I've eva' 'ad t'deal with wings before, probably not gonna be much 'elp. [She's eyeing those wings though, like she's trying to figure them out.]

[tofightfor]

They normally got long dry spells between big things goin' down?

It's been that way for me too, haha. I've been off my game. @_@

[walking_nukebird]

[Putting a hand to the side of her head.]

I don't think many people have ...

[A beat passes while "Utsuho" takes note of that accent.]

So, um—were you hit by all this crazy body switching business too?

Well, that happens. I hope it's getting better for your own sake. :)

[tofightfor]

[Fang certainly can't say she knows many!]

Seems I 'ave been, yea.

Trying, at least! XD BTW, Gat tagged back on the other thread with Fang.

[walking_nukebird]

Jeez, I wonder how many people didn't get switched around. I haven't met anyone today who wasn't! Though one guy I know said his housemates weren't affected ...

[tofightfor]

'aven't met one yet. [A pause.]

Oh yea? Wonder why they got outta it.

[walking_nukebird]

["Utsuho" shrugs with "her" wings, as if they were another pair of arms. When "she" does so, the interior of "her" cape is more readily visible—as is the view of deep space within it.]

If there was a way to've gotten out of this, I wish I knew. But ... I dunno, I've never seen the town offer people the choice. It just happens at random, it seems ...

[chibi_emperor]

Usually about half a month or a month in between the bigger crap.

[tofightfor]

An' it's been three months since the last big thing? [She wants to make sure she's got her facts straight here.]

[tofightfor]

[That'll earn the quirking of a brow. The shrugging wings and the odd cape that is.]

Mm, 'afta keep a look out, maybe see if there's sum way around it.

[walking_nukebird]

If not, well ... this can't last longer than a week. I hope. I don't want to be stuck like this ...

[chibi_emperor]

Yeah, that's right. Wouldn't be surprised if they threw us into something big again soon.

[tofightfor]

Seems a good guess. [At least, that's the guess Fang was going with, and that's why all the double checking of the facts.]

[tofightfor]

[Yeah, the look on 'Xion's face sure makes it seem like she's none too thrilled with that idea either.]

Betta' not.

[walking_nukebird]

["Utsuho" folds one of her wings and stretches the other out and backwards, much like somebody on the fully-avian end of the scale might do.]

So, uh ... Who am I speaking to anyway? Anyone I know?

[chibi_emperor]

Of course it is. Now, I'm gonna go look for my body. You better go make sure that yours is still in one piece as well.

[tofightfor]

Seems a good idea. [With that, Fang will head off in another direction.]

[tofightfor]

Fang, teacher at the high school an' you are?

[walking_nukebird]

Huh. Guess not ...

Er—I'm Balin Wilbur. I'm a soldier and ... actually a guy, not a chick.

["Utsuho" fidgets again. Balin is not going to feel comfortable like this any time soon.]
