Day 268 — Body Swap Mingle
[You know the phrase about waking up on the wrong side of the bed? Well, today you wake up exactly where you planned to, just not how you planned to. Taller, blonder, now with dangerous and unpredictable powers? So maybe the phrase about not feeling comfortable in your own skin applies more today. After all, it's not exactly your skin is it?]

(OOC: Use this mingle to run into people anywhere in the dome. Body swap info.)

["That awkward moment" has nothing on THIS awkward moment. That moment when you wake up and the person in bed next to you is wearing the body you expect to be wearing.

You try to calm down. Move on. Move forward. But nothing feels quite right as you go about your day's work. Your body is too tall and too muscular. The hair is far, far too short. You keep reaching up to brush it back out of habit and there's nothing there. It's even strange wearing pants instead of your typical dresses or skirts. But as far as strange goes today that's pretty far down the list.

There is a school to look after, classes to attend, and a memorial garden to tend. She can't just hide at home all day. Right?

Right. So have a Euphie in an Aidan-shaped package.]

[Mal'd forgotten about the horses thanks to the upheaval of being a woman. He was just about remembering them and making his way there when he yet again tripped over the hem of whatever it was he was wearing and just missed who appeared to be Aidan. He let out a string of curses before looking up.]

Oh.. Aidan. Sorry. Not use to...

[Well, this is embarrassing.</small.

	[It's probably a good thing Euphie never learned Chinese and that the translators often let a few words through untranslated when they are departure from regular speech.] Ah, no, Inara, it's not Aidan. I mean, it is his body, but I'm not... He's not... [So awkward.] Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-04-21 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	I ain't Inara! Just got stuck in this... [He stops before he says something bad about her.] Fine. Jus' fine. Feels like I'm relearning how t'walk. Who are you then. If you ain't Aidan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The manner in which she speaks really is nothing like what she knows of Inara. If anything it sounds most like Aidan, but she knows exactly which body Aidan is in.] I see. I'm Euphemia. Might I ask who you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mal. I'm Mal. Big tall... manly Mal. [Shut up Mal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. It must be a shock to be changed into someone so different. [She rubs her—Aidan's—arm a little, self consciously.] I can understand that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-04-22 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	Shock don't begin to cover it. [He looks Aiden... Euphemia... over again.] You handlin' it all right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-04-24 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Oh, yes, of course. I'm sure it's a challenge for everyone today. [She's terrified to use the restroom. TERRIFIED.] Thank you for asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's not that hard Euphie... just aim at something...] I jus' hope she doesn't think to do something funny like... buy me new clothes or somethin' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-04-26 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	[It's more about what she might see or touch!] Won't she need to unless she can borrow yours? Things don't...ah...fit the same way. [Feeling awkward in these clothes and this body.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-04-27 04:04 am UTC (link)
	I gave her clothes. She don't need new ones. An she better not touch the hair! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-05-02 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yes, well, that was nice of you to lend them to her. Why do you think she'd touch your hair. [A little more self conscious now. Would Aidan be upset if she touched his hair?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
