tushanshu | Radio Transmission - Special Bulletin

[Another radio broadcast so soon? The feed clicks on...and while the intonation is familiar, the voice is decidedly...female.]

A rolling stone gathers no moss. It will never gather moss. It will never find what it is looking for. Welcome...to the Turtle.

[No xylophone this time - just some awkward shifting and a clearing of the throat.]

I'm reporting with a special bulletin today. Many of you may have noticed changes in yourselves. Maybe you're younger. Maybe you're older. Maybe, like me, you woke up with parts where there shouldn't be parts, and missing parts where you know they should be. Or maybe, just maybe, you're not in your body at all.

Do not. Panic.

For those of you who were too startled to look back within the network, a spell has gone wrong. And hey. We've all been there, right? You're doing your daily rituals, you're feeling pretty good about how your hair is sitting that day, and WHOOSH! You've just sent your favorite teapot into the void instead of your required sacrifice. These things happen, listeners, and I, for one, intend on carrying on as I always do. Except, perhaps, while wearing a bra.

Think of this as an opportunity! I know I'm asking myself some questions right now. Do I want to try new clothing options? How do I want to style my new, longer hair? Would Carlos - perfect, perfect Carlos - think that I am even half as beautiful as he is?

[A deep sigh.]

Dr. McCoy has put out a call for blood samples - if you don't enjoy this experience, cooperation is your best path back to normalcy.

I will conclude this special broadcast with the weather. This is Cecil - or, if you would prefer for now, Cecilia - Baldwin, reminding you not to go on a witch hunt.

[The feed ends with another strange instrument, being played rather...poorly. Cecil isn't much for playing instruments.]

You're taking this pretty well.

Weeeeell, why not? It's an EXPERIENCE!

You can say that again...

I think I'd rather people call me by my real name rather than a girl version of it.

Oh, it's not really a REQUIREMENT, but...I just kind of figured, when in Rome? So to speak.

That makes sense. [ Weirdly enough. ] So you've had experience of this kind of thing before? Spells, stuff like that?

Oh, now I feel like I'm missing out on something. Imagine...an extra appendage randomly being tossed on...

[Now he is just rambling.]

Anyways...informative broadcast I must say!

You really are missing something - but you know what? We can ALL learn from this.

[Her smile is bright and pretty.]

Thank you! I am a reporter, after all.
