[ Muttering and mumbling to himself, with the map in one hand and the BlackBerry in the other-- ] Hm, yes, a beach...but a beach to where? There can't be a beach without...well, perhaps some questions are not meant to be answered.

[ Looks up at the sun-kissed beach with waves rolling into the shore and smiles for a second, recalling the way he watched the sun se--WHAT IS THAT? His eyes narrow as something a small distance away catches his eye. Is that...a ship? ]

A ship docked here...how peculiar. [ As he approaches, the ship seems much less impressive and more like the handiwork of...but it couldn't be. Surely. ]

Well, well, what have we here?

[ Elation. That's what he'd felt only moments ago, power surging through his system, spreading out everywhere all at once. He could feel it through his fingertips, right down to his toes, something strong and innate, wholly Erik Lehnsherr. With Charles’ help, with that strange, wonderful man beside him, Erik could do so much, could become something magnificent. Together, their minds working as one, they had a chance

Now though, with the prickle of tears shed moments ago still pressing into his skin, he feels something akin to wild panic. He had turned to the man beside him, satellite angle wrong, a laugh dying in his throat because Charles simply wasn’t there.

He’s inside, where moments ago he’d been out in the fresh, Westchester air. It has to be a trick, has to be. That Frost woman perhaps, a plot of Shaw’s to part them. Sniffing, he can’t sense the ozone Azazel leaves behind, but that doesn’t mean it’s not his doing. With a growl of frustration, Erik lets his newly harnased power leach, summoning something heavy and metal to his hands.

He’ll be prepared this time.

Voice a low growl of sound.

[ James awakes with a start, lifting his head off the--carpet? that's strange, ships don't usually have carpet--and looking around. He pushes himself to a sitting position, lifts his hand to his forehead to brush the wisps of the powdered-white hair from his wig, his hat gone missing. A quick glance affirms the existence of his hat, only a few feet from his person.

His hand pats his side for the sword holster buckled at his waist, and he breathes a sigh of relief before standing--shakily, but standing nonetheless--and catches sight of himself in the mirror at a small vanity. He looks awful, with disheveled, natural brown hair peeking out from the wig, what he assumes is a carpet burn? on his right cheek, a tear in the sleeve of his overcoat, and he's also missing...a shoe--ah, it's there, just a few feet away from where the hat was. Regardless, he looks in no way fit for the Royal Navy, and so he immediately sets to work on fixing just that. ]


I don't even remember any sort of fighting. Was I captured? But why would I still have my sword?

[ After he has pulled his leggings down from where they'd pushed up on his legs, pulled on the rebellious shoe, straightened his clothes, and tucked every last strand of his hair neatly into his now-combed wig, he looks around the room. It's decorated in rich wood paneling and blue curtains, and--not candles. What are those? Glass lights...but how?--nevertheless, he is utterly and completely confused. ]

I would not hesitate to ask if this is a pirate's trick, but I see no way for that to be possible. Not really gifted in hallucinogens, are they?

[ He mumbles more to himself, but wonders if anybody is nearby.

He walks to the bed on one wall of the room, and atop the pillow, finds a small object that flips open and has a...an animated portrait? ]


Have I gone mad? Am I dead?

[ He decides to try the door, and as he turns the knob and steps out into a bright hallway gingerly, he can't help but wonder if he really underestimated Jack Sparrow's abilities. Was he behind all of this? ]

[Iroh is inside the safehouse.  He's already checked and double-checked all the entrances and openings to make sure they're safe and secure.  After a few run-ins with the walking dead, he's not eager to see them again, and making sure everyone else is safe and secure is top priority.  And not infected.  That too.  He's heard people talking about what the undead can do...

There are a few cooking pots of water he's managed to get and boil to make sure they're purified.]  If only we had tea leaves...  [Oh well.

He walks around the house, looking for people who need his help.  One of the water pots is in his hand, along with a ladle to serve it out.]

[Lucy is scrabbling with the communicator when the video feed comes on - the image shows her to be in some distress, flat on the floor on her front with one leg disappearing into a rotten floorboard that has given way beneath her. She is not a happy bunny.]

Can someone please help me?

The floor just collapsed... I'm stuck...

Her last experience of the stars did not end well for her.

If anyone sees her around she';; be very pale, very on edge, and if there's a window nearby then the chances are she'll be trembling.

Feel free to ask her why she looks like she's about to have a nervous breakdown!]

[When the feed comes on, it appears Black Jack is sat in the music room, at the piano to be exact. He looks drawn and saddenedm but this is soon replaced by his professional pokerface]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.

I'll try and keep this quick. After last week, I think it would be a good idea for the house to have some sort of record system. Hatori had the idea of just keeping medical records for everyone, should an event like last week occur in the future. Since we have a legal system, it seems sensible to also have medical records on hand, should they be needed.

I will leave an appropriate amount of standard record forms and envelopes on a table in the parlor should you wish to help this idea become reality; of course this is completely optional, but, if you want to be included, simply take a form, fill it out as honestly as you can, initial the envelope and return it to me at your own descretion. I won't read them unless I'm given permission, and they'll be locked away securely, me being the only one able to get to them should the need arise.

If any of you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.


[His tone becomes somewhat strained towards the end, and he switches the feed off as soon as the last sentence finishes. Or at least, he thinks he does as he puts the blackberry on top of the piano, turning round to face the same way. He lifts the lid to the keys, not bothering to open the sheet music. The song he starts playing he knows off by heart.

Hatori was gone. Written out, as if he never existed. It was like a punch to the gut for the doctor, and when he'd woken up that morning, alone, and found that only his name remained on the door....he hadn't known what to do. At least with this system, Hatori's idea, he'd somehow remain in the Manor.

As the song draws to an end, without hesitation he starts it again, this time slower, with more emotion than before

So people have swapped bodies this week?

I don't seem to have been affected... Is there a pattern of who was and wasn't affected?

Jack? I haven't seen you for a while, I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I was wondering if you were still yourself?

[Due to the weather being so awful recently, Elphaba had occupied herself by exploring the resort. Overall, she thought the whole theme was kind of cheesy, but it was better than nothing. Eventually, she stumbled across what looked like a lab of sorts, with a few faceless scientists wandering around, albeit a little aimlessly. Stepping down into the lab itself, she's drawn to a table in the middle of the room, with robotic arms moving something in the centre. As the scientist in front moves out of the way, she see's it a collection of 10 or 11 eggs, all slightly bigger than an ostrich's.

Reaching out to touch one, she recoils her hand suddenly when it shudders gently. She looks to one of the staff members to do something, but they don't seem to care either way. So, ever so slightly nervous (but overwhelmingly curious), she watches as the egg shakes a little more, before a crater appears through the shell. The crater soon becomes a fractur, and within a minute or so that becomes a large crack. As the baby starts emerging, Elphaba looks around to find some gloves - since the staff were wearing them, she figured she should to. Finding some, she pulls them on, before leaning down to see just what was hatching. Picking a large piece of shell off of the tiny creatures head, she smiles hesitantly as wide yellow eyes stare up at her

 [Though Light is, by most people's standards an early riser, even by Light's exacting standards five-thirty in the morning is much too early. He tosses lazily in-between his covers, his brain still drowsy and recovering from the exhausting fantasy world of rapid-eye movement sleep to process the constellation of neuronal activity that would have otherwise led to four immediate conclusions. As Light reluctantly clears his eyes of sleep, he is able to reach one of those conclusions-- an embarrassing twenty five percent for the genius-- and that is, he is no longer a child. 

Immediately he bolts up-right, simultaneously examining one of his normally sized hands, and flattening his spectacular bed-head with the other. Despite himself and the absurd hour, he smiles slightly. All the neck craning of last week had frankly gotten quite annoying. Being his normal size at least, put him at greater ease, though of course, all this meant was that the Author had started some new mysterious plot. Fifty percent. ...And judging from his surroundings, the luxury sheets- decidedly not his own- and the hotel style accommodations he found himself in, well... Ugh. He groans. It couldn't be so bad. At least this place is comfortable.

A conclusion that mollifies the newly adult-again Light.  ....That is, until he hears the sound faintly echoing off in the distance again. It's not quite a lion's roar, no, Light isn't even sure that he can call it feline. If anything, it has the acoustics of a strangled amalgamation of cetacean, avian, feline and homo sapien shrieking all combined into one bone-rattling hiss played backwards. It's the sound that woke Light up initially. There's only one association he makes with such a noise, thanks to his country's bullshit popculture phenomenon otherwise known affectionately as Godzilla. But of course, the Author wouldn't do that, would she? Shit. SHIT.

Throwing the sheets off of himself, he throws the curtains wide open and is immediately relieved to find that they are not, in fact, in Tokyo. But the giant logo, the last emblem he wanted to see, the words "Jurassic Park" emblazoned in fiery red and black letters, makes Light lose his cool-- almost. Seventy five percent. He clenches his fists, until his knuckles turn white. His breath is released slowly, over the span of ten seconds as he calms down. The moment passes, and soon the urge to shout subsides. He could deal with this. Really.

It isn't until he turns the door knob, and finds a large banner taped to the front of his door that reads:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIGHT!!

But it's not the banner that causes Light to snap. It's the enormous pile of balloons.]


...I'm going to kill you...

[Lucy is probably quite recignisable by her very proper English accent, and her blonde ringlets, although the person on the video feed is an adorable blonde child.]

I don't see why everyone is getting so upset about being made younger. I don't know about anyone else but being a child was some of the most fun I ever had.

You get away with all sorts of things when you're a child that you can't when you're an adult.

I'm quite happy to embrace this actually. If anyone would like to join me in some games that would be super - no doubt we can get up to all sorts of mischief!

Oh, and it's Lucy by the way.

[Oz is sitting in his room, only waking up today. He looks at the blackberry for a moment, nibble on what appears to be a cookie. Nothing appears to be different about him since his hair and eyes were a natural colour for normal people. Oz paused for a moment, cookie hanging from his mouth, before switching to blackberry to send private messages.]

[Private to Ritsuka.]

Ritsuka, you okay? 

[/Private]

[Once the private post was done he switches back and everyone should see Oz again.]

Last week made me realise something, so I need to ask. Is anyone here that can teach me some sword skills?

I know some basics to sword fighting, but I want to improve and be better. Last week made me realise I'm not as good as I hoped.

[When Elphaba first woke up, she couldn’t say she felt any different. However, when a pale hand came up to brush some hair out of her face, and that hand was attached to an equally pale arm, Elphaba had to admit she felt a little nauseous. Not like in sickness, but rather in the excited, disbelieving sense. Getting out of bed and seeing light skin across her bare legs underneath the oversized shirt she wore to bed only furthered her theory, so she hurried to the window and wrenched the curtains open, the mirror across the room confirming her hopes. Pressing pallid fingertips to the looking glass, the young witch reasoned she couldn’t be dreaming; you can’t feel nervous in dreams, or at least not to this extent.

 
A mix of emotions almost overwhelmed her as she lifted both hands to her now fair skinned face, heavy dark lashes trying to fan away tears. This was the Author; there wasn’t any other explanation. But why? Why would she do something like this? And what would she want in return?

Instinctively, Elphaba rubbed away the tears that were building behind hazel eyes. However, when the moisture didn’t sting the skin on her hands as it usually did, she found the feeling of excitement only intensified. With trembling hands, she stumbled back to the bed before she lost her footing. This was way too much to take in so soon, but the one thing she’d wanted the most her entire life had been granted; she was normal. She could touch water. She wasn’t a freak. Despite the tears now running freely down her face, she found she couldn’t stop smiling.

The first thing she wanted to do was call Piccolo, show him how happy she was - but then a thought struck her; what if he didn't like her like this...? Shaking her head, her smile flickered back as she got up and headed to the door, going to do one of the things she'd always wanted to.

Everyone!

I'm really sorry but I broke the knob off the heater so it's stuck- which, I could reattach but it rolled away and I can't find it- so you guys might want to wear something for warmer temperatures!


((Conan has taken the knob on the thermostat and will be handing it over to Kuroba Kaito. Sorry B, your way of moving about the manor has just been limited.))

[Light is sitting cross-legged on his bed, his expression alternates between fury and hopelessness at a book that he has unknowingly opened upside down in his lap. The endless stream of bickering coming through the Blackberry is irritating the hell out of him. Clearly the investigation lacked leadership, because from the sound of it, all of the self congratulatory morons were running around like headless chickens. But even so, this is a transient distraction that he clings on to, because otherwise he would be forced to think about how stupidly helpless he felt at the moment. The truth is, Light cannot bring himself to contribute to this investigation; being unable to read has left him feeling as though he is without a right arm.
 When yet another message comes through the network, he grabs his own Blackberry and hisses angrily.]

Either try for some goddamn unity or be quiet.

[There is an audible sigh, before the feed switches off.]

[Anyone in or around the entry hall may run into this young lady (well, young in Viera terms, since she’s over 50). She looks around at everything and anything, her dusty red eyes sharp and clear. A furnished house, with no sign of neglect. Someone lived here, or had been here recently. All she needed to do was find that person, and get the answers she needed. Her shoes clacked ominously against the hardwood floor as she headed towards the staircase, her eyes constantly flicking over her surroundings, her ears alert and clear. Unfortunately, the quiet was almost deafening to the Viera. She had been with Balthier, that was the last thing she remembered. Now this? This wasn’t right; this wasn’t any kind of magick she’d experienced before.

This made no sense, and she wasn’t sure what to do or how to feel about it all. Fran knew it wasn’t a dream; her dreams gave her answers. This only asked more questions

Evening Manor Residents.

Some of you may recognize me and others probably won't. To anyone new here- I'm detective Kudo Shinichi, or Shinichi Kudo if you prefer first to last name.

Generally, I work as a consulting detective but lately I've been focusing on our lovely Author-san and I have a question to ask all of you - it's a simple yes or no question and any input would be greatly appreciated -

In your world, is there a big event that you're connected too in some way?
