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.)

[As a result of her telekinetic push, he ends up with his back forced up against the food cabinet that was a few feet behind him. He stares at her with wide, disbelieving eyes for a long moment, because what the hell was that, before holding his hands up in a sign of surrender. And if he wasn't too shocked by her morning greeting, he might've noticed those hands he's holding up have a bluish tint to them.]

I'm not behind anything! Promise!

[Sheesh. If she didn't want to make breakfast then she could have just said so.]

So how about you put the telekinesis away and tell me what it is that I'm not behind?

[She might just look as surprised as he does. She actually took a step back, quickly lowering her hand. So that's how to use that power. She takes a breath. She's not going to let this throw her. She has answers to get.]

You know what I mean. This body switching thing. Where's my body and M'gann? Who are you working with? I know you couldn't have put it together on your own.

	[He slowly puts his hands down but doesn't dare to move from his spot against the food cabinet. He does give her the most dubious of looks after that explanation, though.] ...If you're not M'gann, then who are you? [He wants answers first!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Come on, Cam. You don't recognize your old friend, Artemis? Now stand still. I want to try throwing you around again. [Eyes glowing a bit but nothing is happening yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-22 04:33 am UTC (link)
	[Blink, blink.] ...Artemis? But how are-- Wait! [He holds up a finger to partially halt whatever intentions she has in mind with the glowing eyes thing, but there's something far more important here.] Who the heck is Cam?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 04:36 am UTC (link)
	[Eyes fading back to normal.] What? You are. ...Aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-22 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Uh, last time I checked I am and always have been a Wally. [But now that the situation has cooled down a little and he can actually process what she previously said, some pieces of the puzzle finally click into place.] [Deadpanned:] I don't look like me, do I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	[The borrowed eyes are widening.] Wally? [She steps closer. It could make sense. Probably more sense than Icicle showing up with a body switcher just to swap her and M'gann and then hang out in the kitchen.] Prove it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-22 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Just going to take that as confirmation that his assumption was correct.] Okay, let's see. [He taps his chin with a finger as he tries to think of something that would prove he is who he says he is.] You gave me the pink elephant you won at ring toss when the prison had the fair. We named it Artie. [Satisfied?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	[She visibly relaxes.] You're really Wally. So, why aren't we in our bodies? [Not that she expects him to know.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-22 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	[A shrug.] Who knows? Maybe the Wardens got bored. [Seems as good an explanation as any.] So, who's Cam? [She said he was a friend of hers, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	[She sighs a little and then reaches out to take his hand.] Come on. [She'll just lead him to the bathroom mirror.] If that doesn't help just picture yourself covered in ice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[When they get to the mirror, his immediate impression of his borrowed body is that this Cam guy has stupid hair. Seriously, the sideburns alone are just ridiculous. And his skin seems a little...bluer than you'd expect. Still, it doesn't go a long way in explaining exactly who this guy is.]

Covered in ice? I don't--

[Uh-oh. Someone finally gets who "Cam" might be. And while he's trying to remain as calm as he can under the circumstances, she might notice that the temperature in the room has taken a sudden nosedive.]

You mean...I'm stuck in the body of that Vanilla Ice reject? [Not that he's had any encounters with Icicle Jr. himself but the insult seems to fit.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Icicle Jr. [After a beat.] And he's not really that bad... For a bad guy. Uh...Wally? [Is that her breath in front of her being all visible?] I think I'm really glad you don't have heat powers right now. [Since M'gann's weakness for fire is her weakness now. The cold isn't so bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's now more than a little curious about her friendship with Icicle Jr. after she defends him—sort of anyway—but thinks now isn't the best time to ask her about it. Especially since it's possible she could hear his thoughts at the moment.]

Huh? [He notices her visible breath.] Oh, right. [He takes a few deep breathes in an attempt to relax himself, and the temperature eventually returns to almost normal. Not that he can tell.] Better?

[She was willing to knock him around when she thought he was behind this though. Points for that?]

Yeah. Better.

[She doesn't want to be in the bathroom anymore. Partially because it's just not the best, social funzone, but also because this looking at the mirror and not seeing yourself thing is very, very weird. So she steps out, expecting Wally will follow.]

I guess the good part about being in M'gann's body is that I can just shapeshift to look like me, right? [Form of Artemis?]

[He'll give her a point and a half for that.]

I really hope this is a one day thing.

[Because, yeah, everything about this is weird. And like the good boyfriend that he is, he does what she expects and follows her out of the bathroom.]

Yeah, you've basically won the body swap lottery. [Though he's not sure how difficult the whole shapeshifting thing is.] So what do you think happened to our bodies?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-23 03:05 am UTC (link)
	I kind of thought maybe M'gann had mine, but Cam's not even here. [She closes her eyes. This shapeshifting thing can't be too hard, right? M'gann's body probably knows what to do. She'll just concentrate on looking like herself. And shape shift she does! Into a white martian.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-23 03:40 am UTC (link)
	[He flinches a little when she switches into a white martian. Not that he was freaked out or anything because he's seen M'gann in that form once or twice before. He was just expecting more Artemis and less white martian, okay.] Uh, babe? [He rubs the back of his head as he looks up at her.] You might want to try whatever it is you just did again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-23 03:52 am UTC (link)
	[Trying not to freak out here. How do white martians take calming breaths? Actually, how do they talk?] I didn't mean to do that! [Mentally of course. And maybe a little too loudly as she does it because she doesn't have the hang of this and she doesn't know what to do with this body.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-24 02:12 am UTC (link)
	[Holding his head in a hand now, because ow, that was loud.] I kinda figured. [He'll stick with the mental talk.] Can you change back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

greenerarrow
2014-04-24 02:17 am UTC (link)

I'm trying! It's not as easy as she makes it look!

[His head isn't the only one starting to hurt. Where did all these other sounds come from? So much chatter in neighboring apartments she can't make anything out.

She takes a few steps back as if that will help get her away from the mental noise, but it mostly just makes her hit and break the light above her. She is really tall as a white martian.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-24 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Well, she's had a lot of...watch out! [Too late. There goes the light. He takes a few tentative steps towards her to make sure she didn't hurt herself.] ...You okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-24 03:12 am UTC (link)
	No! I'm not okay! I want my body back! [She sinks down to the floor crossing the long arms over herself and managing to miss the broken glass.] I don't know anything about having powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-04-24 03:59 am UTC (link)
	...Right, stupid question. [She does appear to be physically okay after her encounter with the light, though.] That's because you're so awesome that you don't need them. [A little smile before he makes his way around the glass to sit beside her.] Hey. Everything will be all right. We just need to find M'gann. She'll know what to do. [He hopes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
