[ So, this is an unusual morning. Nearly as unusual as finding a dead body in Chance's bed but that's only because he hasn't discovered that he's the dead body yet. Funny how you don't think about things like breathing or heartbeats when your body just take care of all that on its own, most days.

This is not Chance's apartment. This is not his couch or his clothes or anything else that he recognizes so needless to say, his distinctly american voice is a bit on the panicked side when he finally addresses the network. ]

Chance? Chance! What the fuck did you do?

	[Your voice is to weird.] Did you get bodyswapped with someone, then? Who am I talking to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's up with you people and swapping bodies — is this some tantric bullshit? Are you friends with Chance's mom? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That doesn't sound like anyone here. Did they mind swap him with someone who isn't even a prisoner here? That's new.] It's an underwater prison run by robots. I realize that's a bit unbelievable but it's true. I've been here nearly 200 days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ianto is still watching him carefully, trying to tell if this is an entirely new person or just a new mind inside Spike's body. As a result he notices that the blue band usually peeking out from under his sleeve is missing. He didn't know Rose well enough to realize she had vanished, and he's a little surprised after everything that happened when Jack went missing Spike didn't mention it to him. Then again he and Jack have been pretty self-involved the past few days. Maybe he didn't want to interrupt to tak about it. If everything goes back to normal tomorrow he resolves to call him and check up. But for now he needs to focus on the current crisis.] An underwater prison run by robots, as I mentioned. I can give you the tour if you'd like.

[ He probably would've said something had he known there was something to say — she was there when he went to bed and then when he woke up he didn't realize there was something missing. Tomorrow will be a day of heavy drinking, for sure. Perhaps he'll bring himself to announce her departure on the network (she deserves as much) but that's a problem for another time and another guy. ]

....Sure. Why not. What could possibly go wrong.

	[ How do you know that is a thing he'd like to ask but doesn't. Instead he makes his way down the stairs, feeling awkward in these borrowed clothes. Just wait until he realizes he hasn't been breathing for this whole time. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It sounds oddly like the sort of thing Spike would say. Maybe some things never change.] Maybe a different sort of crazy than that. Once you get used to it it's actually pretty normal here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None taken. [He's not even going to mention the bodyswap thing if he can avoid it. It just seems easier as long as this is only for today. Hopefully he won't notice that he's dead and wants to eat people.] So where are you from? Before this, obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. No reason then, I suppose. [Quickly recovers. Or tries to.] Right, so as you can see it's not a typical prison here. They've got it divided up into sectors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
