[A young man dressed somewhat strangely appears on the Plane. He takes a few steps forward, stops, and raises an eyebrow in an expression more common to Jolyne.]

Something feels a little off.

[The voice is male, though perhaps not quite as obviously so as the body. He scratches the back of his head, trying to piece together just what seems so strange about-]

...hey, woah! What happened to my hair? --And my voice?! [He looks down, pulling at the opening of his shirt.] What the shit, I'm a GUY?! [Just to be sure, he takes a peek down his pants.] ...yep. Definitely a guy.

I think the gay bar is that way. [points. In no particular direction, mind you]

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I haven't been in prison that long.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do prisons normally issue outfits like that?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Honestly? No idea. This isn't exactly the sort of thing I'd picture myself wearing.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Hm... Have you tried going back? Your reality may've changed as well.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Eh, worth a shot. [Pops off the Plane for a few minutes, then pops back.] Yeah, okay, so apparently home is normal. ...or as normal as it gets, anyway.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And no one notices that you're wearing purple and have had a bit of a change in appearance?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Well, they probably would if I didn't look the same as always back home.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I wonder which is illusion, or if anything's illusion at all.

[contract_star]

J...Jolyne?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Siiiigh] Yeah.

[contract_star]

This...seems to be catching...

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Have a blank look, Hei.]

[contract_star]

There are a couple of other people who have...um...started looking different.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Well. Good to know I'm not the only one.

[contract_star]

Have you ever met this person?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

...this is gonna sound weird, but he feels kinda familiar? Can't say I ever met the guy, though.

[contract_star]

That's interesting...hm. Though it does seem like no one knows the person they've turned into...

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

I guess that wouldn't be nearly as fun, or some shit.

[contract_star]

[Snorts.] Of course not.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

... although if I had wound up looking like my dad or something, that would have been creepy.

[contract_star]

That...yes.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I shall have to start making a list again, perhaps...

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

A list?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Of the people here who show up looking so different! It is you, Jolyne, yes?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yeah, it's me. That might not be such a bad idea.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

This is a very strange experiment, I must say.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Sigh] At least it's not affecting things back home.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is what I have heard. Certainly a good thing, I think.
