[Kurt's crouched on the chair by the console looking a lot smaller and younger than before. The shirt he's wearing is almost falling off one shoulder but the sleeves are rolled all the way up. So okay, he's conflicted about the whole thing because on the one hand, what the hell at everything going on. On the other, he's totally more adorable than Prussia.]
As fun as it is, I kind of want to get off this ride now, thanks.
[Give him a few hours and he'll be outside doing flips and jumping around everywhere. Because he doesn't have his teleporting ability at this age.]

[Bart has gotten clothes that fit and has finished internally flipping out enough that he can handle making a console post. He saw how crazy the posts had been earlier, and he was so not up for that. ]
Anyone who points out the obvious and says omigod you're older will be ignored until I figure out how to ban them.
[um. Maybe he's still not all that up for it.]
Has everyone been accounted for? I know a lot of people are in a tizzy right now, but... there's people I haven't seen in the past 24 hours, and I really want to make sure there's no 9 month olds crawling into a well.
[There's a little cringe at the thought.]
Sorry for the mental image. In other news, I'm thinking of teaming up with Dick to make chili cheese dogs. Anyone have suggestions for meat and preservative substitutes?
( [Privates to Dinah, Barry, Kon, Tim, and Hayley] )

[Hey! It's Clara! Only she's got a very annoyed and perplexed look on her face. And she's wearing a long-sleeve plaid shirt over a t-shirt. Uh? Well hang on.]
So. In case it hasn't been covered yet? This whole thing? With the switching bodies and the de-aging and the gender-swapping and the shenanigans? Not okay. Definitely in the realm of crazy and weird. And uncool. And what the actual fresh hell.
Can we please get some magic people on this? Like...yesterday? Like, I'd really like my old body back. It's only got a few thousand miles on the odometer and my insurance payment just went through.
I'd also like to know who's wearing my body? Because if it's anybody other than Clara, I need to know where to fill out a lost and found claim form.

[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.]

Well I guess I can check 'get turned into a girl' off my list of things to do on the turtle.
[The voice is as deadpanned as it sounds as the feed flicks properly onto video. Instead of the gangly, awkward boy the citizens were introduced to a few weeks back, there is a young girl peering into the communicator. Hiccup shifts awkwardly, crossing her arms over her chest in a bit of embarrassment.]
I don't have to wear a skirt or anything, do I? [She pauses to brush her hair away from her eyes.] Ah, but...could someone braid my hair? It's a bit ridiculous and I've never really...ever done it myself.

[The morning everything first went crazy, Midii was unaffected. She checked, just to be sure. There were no bodily changes, no strange new abilities, and she felt like herself. But there were Network posts advertising those less fortunate, and from the sounds of things, it wasn't going well for many. So she decided to stay put.]
[Today, however, she wasn't so lucky. From the moment she woke up, she knew something was wrong. The kind of wrong that actually required her to ask for help:]
I need clothes. Please. I have money, and can pay you back.
[There was a momentary pause, and a low groan could be heard in the background.]
...is my stomach supposed to hurt like this?
[Her voice might sound familiar to the select few who were around her enough. Only deeper. Older. By nearly ten years. And if that wasn't enough to hint as to who this was over the Network, she didn't block her address.]

[AHH! A DRAGON! No, wait, everyone knows this one. False alarm.
Though judging by his fumbling with the console, as if he's not quite sure how to use his talons, something's not quite right. Oh dear.
The voice is Temeraire's when he speaks, of course, but it's curiously calm and level as it carefully avoids asking his question.
He's pretty sure he could break something if he got upset. Thus, he will not get upset. Nope. He's fine.]
It would seem that I have, through the magic that has gone awry, gained a new body, and one that is as strange to me as the sea is to the stars. It would be good to speak with the one who should properly be occupying this form.
[Especially since hopefully the dragon is in his. He hopes he's all right.]
Do not be alarmed- I have been careful since realizing the event that has transpired. It would be beneficial, however, to know the needs of this form and how I might care for it- as I said, it is utterly unfamiliar to me.

[The face, when it appears, is very definitely not that of Lin Beifong--but the flinty stare and the blunt, unamused tone of voice should ring a bell to anyone familiar with her.
By now she's done her research and done it well, but that doesn't make the current situation any more pleasant for her. The body she's found herself in might be taller and in far better physical condition than her own, but without her bending it feels not only foreign but confining. She curls her hands into fists, once, and slowly relaxes them again.]
I figure whoever used to have this body is in mine now, and this is the easiest way to find you.
I want to know if you have any abilities outside the range of normal that I might need to know about. [Pause.] And you might have a little trouble getting the armor off without a few pointers.
