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.]

	[He tugs on the fringe that far too close to his eyes for his liking, seriously contemplating this.] What are the odds, do you think, of the owner of this body hunting me down and shaving my head for revenge if we did that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-06 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm, since I've never seen him before I think you might be safe. I...really hope otherwise homeless bodies go home tomorrow. [Because Tyki, not because of your hair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-07 02:19 am UTC (link)
	They will. [There's no certainty, but it's likely enough that he doesn't feel like he's lying for the sake of telling Kitty what she might want to hear.] At least, I doubt that they'll be here with us. The wardens must have the people who belong in these bodies in the real prison, so maybe they won't be sent to their homes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-07 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Okay, good point. Maybe they'll be joining us soon. Or going back into non-connected sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...That became considerably less reassuring than I had intended. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-07 05:31 am UTC (link)
	It's okay. Better to be prepared and then happily surprised. Not that I know how to prepare for this. [Gesturing to her borrowed body.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Now you see the benefits of realistic expectations.

[A helpless shrug.] This is a situation that can never be prepared for. I was in different bodies in the City so often that I had clothes in different sizes so that I would be ready, but I never felt prepared. [...to wake up in the body of an ex that comes with a lot of emotional baggage. He's not qualified to comment on that sort of thing.]

	Not the body. I mean, you're right. I wasn't prepared to be in it, but I meant I'm not prepared for him to return as himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 12:46 am UTC (link)
	[Kitty is not okay, and Chekov can't do anything to help fix that. This is a sad state of affairs.] He may not. I think that the wardens try, sometimes, to be as cruel as they can; maybe this body is only here because they mean to upset you, not because they intend to bring him back.

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 12:52 am UTC (link)
	If nothing else I can worry about today's problems and not tomorrow's. Not that I have any today, because I am okay. [Remember? Determined!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Yes, you are. [He has faith that she will be, anyway. That counts for something.] Now, about this hair... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 02:40 am UTC (link)
	[She reaches out and sweeps her fingers through it. Is that weird while she's in Tyki's body.] It has some potential. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 03:02 am UTC (link)
	[Not weird in the slightest! Does Tyki not look like he could have been an amazing barber in some alternate universe?] How generous of you to say. [He reaches up (this is a short body) to give her hair an answering sweep.] Yours as well. A comb would have a miraculous effect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 03:05 am UTC (link)
	[She did always like Tyki's hair. She's not about to share that.] Are you hoping to groom me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps. [Pet, pet.] It is good hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She raises an eyebrow with amusement, letting him fondle her borrowed hair. She can feel a surge of interest that comes with it. This body had some unwanted carry ons that she unwittingly unleashed when she was playing with his powers earlier. Tyki is the noah of pleasure and there are various impulses that come with that. It was something Tyki had to fight to control. Sometimes he let it take over and sometimes it just slipped out a little in a knowing smirk kind of like the one she's wearing now. Totally not creepy, right?]

See something you like, Pavel?

[She's been doing a good job of keeping it in check herself, but sometimes it's hard to find the line between what comes naturally and what doesn't in the moment.]

	[No, that's definitely approaching creepy. Maybe it wouldn't be creepy if Kitty was in the right body, but something has shifted and not in a good way. He pulls his hand back, not sure what to make of it.] Eh? [Behold his eloquent confusion.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 03:52 am UTC (link)
	No more stroking? [A slight glint in the eye. What's wrong? It's all in fun. Probably.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	This hair isn't that good. [This is Kitty being Kitty, obviously. He's just on edge because today has been so strange. That's it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	But if it was my regular hair? That would be different? [You're not just on edge. Noah of pleasure has certain impulses.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	I feel that there is no correct way to answer this question. Is there something wrong, Kitty? [Something different from the things that have already been established as wrong?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Not a thing. [So many things, but something about this is harder to fight against. Harder to see the need for fighting.] Why so worried about doing the correct thing? The wrong thing can feel pretty good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	What, in this context, is the wrong thing? [Because "the wrong thing" he was talking about was insulting Kitty's hair. This is clearly not what she's talking about.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	[She tilts her head looking him over.] Use your imagination. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inwention 2016-01-08 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	[He doesn't want to use his imagination! If Kitty was in the right body, maybe (she's attractive, and he does like her a lot), but there's something predatory about the look she's wearing and an increasing feeling of not-quite-rightness.] Today, I think, I'd prefer to do the correct thing, thank you.
