[The first thing Fran notices when she wakes up is that she feels... off, somehow. Like her senses have been toned down, even more than they were when she first left the Wood. Everything sounds like it's been muted, and...

That train of thought ends once she gets a good look at her surroundings. This is not Balthier's suite. This is not even her own suite. (Although she rarely, if ever, sleeps there.) No, this is someplace entirely different. It isn't long before she notices the fact that it isn't just her senses or the scenery that has changed, but herself as well. And it's a body she recognizes, too. ~~Difficult to forget a talking pile of rubble, after all.~~

Eventually, a video pops up on the network, revealing a very peeved Franto.]

To the stone man that resides here - [She never did get Santo's name.] - I believe I have something of yours. And I would think you have something of mine.

[Namely, her body.]

This is Fran, if anyone is unsure. It seems this has been an eventful morning for many.

[A slight sigh.]

... Are the senses of all non-viera so dull?

[Locked to Balthier; 90% Unhackable]

Whomever is in your suite and is wearing my skin, it is not I. [Just a heads up, partner.] Do what you will.

[Well... okay. It has her slightly curious, but it's his body and he knows it better than anyone else. So she's just going to go ahead and follow his advice.]

I believe that should be simple enough. [Thinking about exploding isn't exactly something she does regularly.]

No, I mean seriously. Right now. Don't think about it even a little bit. Don't think about bombs or Michael Bay, or bits of rock you flying in all directions which might be the coolest power ever.

Just don't. Are you not thinking about it?

[... He really isn't very good at giving proper direction for this sort of thing, is he? But it doesn't matter too much. Again, exploding is one of the last things Fran is concerned about. Even with Santo's encouragement.]

I am thinking of how much I would like a drink.

Oh, yeah, about that. Uh... Good luck? It takes a lot to get me drunk, if it's even possible.

I haven't really had a chance to test it, but... I don't really have organs or blood.

In that case, I will let you know what happens. [Honestly, she doesn't expect anything. But, well. no harm in trying.]
