Case 200

[manofgnee]

Oh, it is SO good to be me again. I missed you, body. I will never take you for granted again...

Not that it wasn't interesting being you, Dulcie...it was different. I promise, your apartment is exactly as it was when you were last you.

Err...I hope you like the bras that Dawn picked out...that was all her, I'm crap at that stuff.


...also, I can't get the eye makeup off...

Body swap for the entire weekend?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yup. Dulcie and I swapped bodies...and it was weird.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

At least you'll have experience for the occasion you're turned into a girl.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's already happened, and it was equally weird. If not more so.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

I know that particular feeling of surprise.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know it's not an uncommon curse...it's still freaky, though.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

It does feel good to be back!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it?

Well, at least we have a better understanding of each other now, right?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

And I understand what being slightly taller feels like! That's never happened before.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

This is probably the first time somebody's referred to me as tall.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

...I did say taller.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It's still a first.

[totallyinaband]

Oh, hey dude. Good thing I caught you. I have awesome news. I found a girl who's totally willing to go on a date with you.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...you...what?

...Really...?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah. Her name's Ramona Flowers, she's a friend of ours from back home. You'll like her, she's very funky.

I told her to can take her out somewhere this week.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ramona...that's a pretty name...she's funky, you say? Okay!

I'll do the best I can to show her a good time...Oh, god, where should I take her?

[totallyinaband]

I dunno, man. Somewhere with food?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yes, that narrows things down so much. But you're right. Nice restaurant, maybe the park...we don't have a movie theater here, do we? You think I'd know, having been here for over a year, but.

[totallyinaband]

Sounds like a plan, dude. Good luck.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll do the best I can to show her a nice time.

[totallyinaband]

[ooc: psssst! Be on aim, Arvina'a on right now.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Gah, fine!]

[aettir.livejournal.com]

... Are you in full armor or something?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...it's a long story...

[aettir.livejournal.com]

It's not gonna be that long if she catches you!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Dulcie understands...she was me this weekend.

So, yeah.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

You went shopping for—shoppi— ... you went in her body! She seriously won't care?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Technically, Dawn went shopping for bras for me in Dulcie's body...and I don't really want to keep them now that I'm back to normal....

We were cursed. She understands.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Guess she would... you don't seem like you'd have been a bastard about it anyway.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It was too freaky a situation to be a bastard about, in my opinion.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

That's you. I know guys who would've gotten past the freakiness.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I...probably would have if it'd been a week, and not 2 days.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

You think?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I would've gotten used to being a girl in that amount of time...

1/2

[aettir.livejournal.com]

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Good thing two days's the limit!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, my thoughts exactly!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Olive oil.

[Long, awkward pause.]

For the, uh, eye stuff. It works.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Huh. That...makes sense.

I'll try that! Thanks, Neil!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, man.

Anyone asks, I'm not the one who gave you that advice.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Fair enough...though I imagine that having that piece of knowledge could be helpful with the ladies in the long run.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Think they'd believe I just heard it from my sister or something?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, just tell them you're an only child.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

But then it sounds suspicious. They're gonna wonder how I know that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

So?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I don't want anyone thinking anything weird. [Anything weird like, for example, the truth: that the post-Vegas-curse eyeliner was stubborn and he had to find a way to get rid of it. Buuuuut he's not going to bring that up with Hanna. Ever again, if he can help it.] Think I'll stick with the "overheard my sister saying it once" thing.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Okay, it's your choice, bro.

It is useful info, though. Thanks.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

No problem.
