six : slowly freaking out [video]

[everylittlegirl]

[BACKDATED to the 28th]

[Hayley clicks on the video and just stares at the console as if it's the source of her bewilderment, as opposed to her being in a body belonging to someone else entirely. The clothes she has on are tight-fitting, particularly in the chest, which she seems to be either intentionally or unconsciously hiding with her arms.]

Does anyone belong to this body?

And can we talk about those nightmares? Because that's really not okay.

Hey, do you want to like, take my DNA or study me or something? Jack said I might be the only one who experienced different effects. Either way, you like studying stuff like this, right?

I'd hope there aren't unclaimed bodies wandering around.

[everylittlegirl]

Not wandering around. I mean, okay, kind of.

It's this. [She gestures at herself.] This isn't what I look like. At all.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, there's quite a few of us in that boat at the moment.

[everylittlegirl]

Yeah, no, I know. But like, I was just like, an older version of myself before. Now I'm.. I don't even know. I have no idea who I'm supposed to be. It's like a bad Halloween costume? Only I totally didn't choose it and I can't take it off.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

I'd heard some people were getting different effects, I didn't realize people were getting more than one.

[everylittlegirl]

Lucky me, I guess.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

I didn't mean it like that...

[bacondivination]

If no one claims it, do you get to keep it in addition to your own when all is set to rights? Will you hang it up in your closet, perhaps?

[everylittlegirl]

Ew. [She makes a face like 'wtf you're crazy.']

I'm talking about the way I look? This isn't me.

[bacondivination]

I gathered. That's what my comment was referencing, and, really, you don't get to 'ew' at me when I'm not the one of us wearing a suit of skin not my own here.

[everylittlegirl]

Hey! Not exactly my choice. And trust me? It's not just a skin suit, it's like.. [She pokes at one of her boobs, then pulls a strand of hair straight.] ..the real deal.

[bacondivination]

Odin's beard, you needn't be so literal. It is effectively as such, I'd think. Your soul, someone else's body, you know how it is.

[everylittlegirl]

Yeah, I don't really believe in the whole "soul" thing. I'm guessing we switched brains. Which is actually pretty creepy.

[bacondivination]

I don't know much of your Midgardian medical sciences, but I'm almost positive that you cannot place one brain into another's head without something going horribly awry.

[ thIS IS SO WEIRD ] That's me! Hi. Do I have your face? Well, your body. Gods, this is- I'm really sorry about the nightmares.

I'm Rachel. Has this kind of thing ever happened to you before? Because this is all very new to me. [ says the girl who gets possessed by the Oracle of Delphi on the regular, back home. not the same!! ]

[everylittlegirl]

No, never. I mean, I was older before, but this is.. different?

[In which a handwaved thread occurred where Bruce asks what different effects those are, agrees to take a DNA sample, and asks if he can have one again when she's normal as a basis for comparison.]

[iguanasolution]

That's Rachel!

[Frank makes a face when he realized there was no need to say it so loudly. This whole thing has his nerves on edge.] I mean, that's Rachel's body, Rachel Elizabeth Dare.

video;

[everylittlegirl]

Who's Rachel? And who are you?

video;

[iguanasolution]

Rachel is the person that body belongs to. She's- she's a friend. [He was about to say she was a friend of a friend but whatever, he likes Rachel, Rachel is cool, she can stay.] And I'm Frank. Nice to meet you? I don't really know if I'd met you before since I don't really know who you are...

video;

[everylittlegirl]

Oh, uh, Hayley Stark normally..

[She looks awkwardly down at herself and then back again, shifting and then smacking away a piece of hair.]

I don't think I know you.

video;

[iguanasolution]

[A smile as he shrugs. He'd be more bothered about the fact that she first met him when he's in a she's body, but he honestly doesn't mind. He changes body so often this is just slightly higher on the List Of Weird, and he can almost hear his grandma yell at him if he ever suggested being ashamed of being a girl.] Don't think I know you either, so nice to meet you. Did you manage to contact Rachel?

[everylittlegirl]

[Hayley notices the discrepancy between the name and the gender, but she's not about to comment on it with everything going on. Maybe it's just a weird name. She can wait until later to be certain.]

Uh, yeah. I think so.
