Day 357 — Body/Mind Swap Mingle
[Everything may be a bit topsy turvy today. Maybe you lost your head. Maybe you lost everything else. Or maybe you're perfectly you and it's just your friends and neighbors who don't make any sense.

Good luck going out and about to figure out your new surroundings.]

	Maybe you should. [He leans in a little, seductively - and then overbalances because he still hasn't got the hang of Reid's body yet. He grunts in frustration and gives up on the lean, and just continues with what he was going to say.] It's not like it's a bad body you've got there, after all. Could have a much worse one for your first time as a man! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles at the attempt even if she's not entirely sure what he was trying to accomplish there.] It's not my first time. I was Aidan when this happened before. [And, yes, there was a little exploring.] Do you know something about The Doctor's body that I don't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He was going for cool and seductive - neither of which are things which come easily to Reid's awkward body. It's very frustrating.]

Aidan, huh? With the beard and all? That must have been very different! And no, I really doubt it, since you're occupying it and I... never got as close to it as I'd have liked. [With a grin to show he's mostly teasing about that, though the old longing is still there deep down.] But I have spent a fair bit of time with it, and always thought it very attractive. And I know I'm not the only one!

[She touches her borrowed cheek absently and smiles.] He didn't have the beard then. It's hard to imagine though this cheek does feel a little rough.

[As he goes on it's a strange feeling of feeling flattered, but knowing the comments aren't about you at all.] You make Doctor Reid seem very different. I must do the same for The Doctor. My dresses don't work so well on him. [She touches the inflated top she normally fills out quite nicely.]

	[He grins, though his hand twitches as he watches her stroke the Doctor's cheek. Oh, yes, that longing's well and truly still there!] It's probably a good thing this will presumably only last for a day - otherwise you'd have to start shaving it! And yeah. Very different. [He winks, trying to keep up the levity.] He really doesn't have the chest for your dresses! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-01-06 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs at the thought of needing to shave, taking it lightly rather than having any real concern of remaining in this body.] You'd help teach me how if it comes to that I hope. [And then Jack gets a blush.] It is very awkward to be shaped differently. I find myself bumping into things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh yeah, me too! Must be even worse for you, being suddenly so much taller! [He chuckles.] Mind you, we both got landed with tall, skinny types today, didn't we? Perhaps we should hang onto each other or something!

...Would you like me to help you find something more suitable to wear?

[And no, of course he's not just saying that in the hopes of seeing the Doctor undressed in a changing room!]

	friendly_fire 2016-01-07 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Actually, that would be nice. I do feel a little like this might embarrass him if he ever found out. [Can't have that.] If you don't mind, I'd love to. [She reaches to take his arm. Friendly, proper princess and all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Her smile looks like the Doctor's smile, and it makes his heart flutter just a little bit.]

Oh, I'm sure he's worn stranger things in his time! But he does put a lot of care into his outfits, however odd they might be, so yeah, he'd probably be grateful if you were to get his body into a suit or something!

[He offers his arm at the same time as she reaches to take it, and grins.] Sector Four, then, I guess? That's where all the clothes shops are, isn't it!

	[She laughs lightly.] Probably. Or do you want to dress me from your closet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That suggestion gets her a surprised laugh. Oh god, the very idea of dressing the Doctor up in his own clothes is so bizarre he can't even imagine it.]

I would love to, but I have found out the hard way today that my own clothes do not look good on skinny builds. [With a gesture at his borrowed body, and the clothes Reid leant him to cover it.]

Let's head to the Row. We should be able to find you something that actually fits, there.

	That's just fine for me. It's nice to have someone with me who knows what they're doing. My brothers never really needed help choosing outfits. Certainly not Clovis. He was a fashion designer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He ducks his head, a gesture that looks far more natural here in Reid's body than it would in his own.]

I'm not sure you could exactly say I know what I'm doing. I've been wearing variations on the same outfit for decades. [He grins.] Though obviously it is a very stylish outfit!

[Certainly more stylish than what he's wearing today - the outfit Reid handed over to him, outrageous socks and all.]

	I seem to remember you being very handsome as we discussed my boyfriend, Kanji. [There's a little laugh. She's still very much herself and it can come out strangely in this body.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He sniggers a bit.] Oh, that was one hell of a weird day, that was, even if it was nice to feel so surrounded by family. [Is it odd that that was one of his happiest days here?]

Not sure if this one's stranger or not. [With a glance at Euphie, in the Doctor's body, wearing a dress, strolling arm in arm with him.] ACtually, I think today just about wins on the strangeness.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-01-12 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	It was. [It was one of her happiest too. Family is so important and none of them are here except the ones she's made.] But I think you're right. Feeling strange just walking to the store outranks it. I'm just glad Nathan was understanding about Kanji. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-01-12 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	[He can sense that coming off her - that she enjoyed that day too - and it gives him another feeling of connection with her, beyond the fact that she currently looks like the man who changed his life, for whom he's been holding a candle for the last hundred and forty-odd years. He cocks his head at that last part.] Nathan? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-01-12 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	[She definitely doesn't mind shifting the subject to someone who is a little more here so a little harder to miss.] My boyfriend. Do you know him? He stays with the older Kitty who runs the Defense Force and he's from Doctor Reid's world. You'd like him. [Or you wouldn't, but now you might not have a choice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, right, I think Kitty's mentioned him. </small>[Though not perhaps quite enough for him to have actually got around to finding out who Nathan is, which would have been really helpful when he meets him for the first time later on today.]</small>

I'm glad he took it all right, then. I was lucky that Ianto took me being married to Kitty in his stride, though seeing as he was getting it on with Spike at the time we were fairly even!

	[You can't say "getting it on" in front of a princess! Or apparently you can. She blushes just a little.] Did you find it strange afterward? Did anything change? [She definitely felt a shift in the way she looks at Kanji though she knows it hadn't been real.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[You can if you're Jack. It's espeically worth it to see that cute little blush on the Doctor's face!

Though actually, at her question, there's the very faintest hint of a blush on his own face now.]

I don't know. It's... made me more aware of Kitty, I think. And Ianto's definitely more aware of Spike. It's weird, considering their history, but they - I think they got quite close those few days while I was away.

[He shakes his head.] These games the AIs play with us - they do make you look at people differently, don't they? [Like the way he's look at her today. He's never been so interested in her before, and he knows she's not the Doctor but somehow he's still drawn to her.]

[She isn't sure she gets every bit of that, not really knowing Ianto and Spike's history, but it doesn't seem like something she needs to clarify to understand how he's feeling at the moment.]

They do, during and after it seems. [She smiles lightly at him.] Don't worry about it. [Or at least not until this inadvertent command wears off.] Everything will work out I'm sure.

[Oh, and look, there's the store!]

[And suddenly, just like that, in an instant, he stops worrying about it. Even the niggling little insecurities he's been feeling whenever Ianto mentions Spike drop away, and he smiles, suddenly feeling more positive than he has since his return.]

Yeah, I'm sure it will. Okay, what sort of clothes do you want? A replica of the Doctor's usual outfit, or something different?

	friendly_fire 2016-01-15 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	I think you'd know best. Pick out whatever you'd like to see me in. [More unsafe sentence usage.] (OOC: She's from fan service land, so I say go for it...) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His eyes widen as he takes this in - that she's pretty much giving him free reign with dressing the Doctor's body. He gives her a wry grin.]

You really should be careful, you know. I've had a great many fantasies over the years about this particular body! [Though not as many as he had about the Doctor's previous body. He's actually only known this one (in person, at least) for five or so years.

Command or no command, though, he's still aware that no-one else in the dome would appreciate seeing the Doctor walk about naked all day. He glances along the row of little stores and then grins, leading Euphie towards an evening wear store.] How about black tie? I've seen pictures of him in a dinner suit and he looked smashing. Never had a chance to see it in person, though!
