on the fifth night of Christmas, my true love gave to me... a body-swap for two spectacular!

[When Arthur woke up this morning, she was going to have a normal day (or, at least, as normal as her days get anymore). She was going to have a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, look into a potential job offer, and then maybe drop in on the Plane for a minute to see if it's magically started to make more sense anymore.

It hasn't. Actually, it makes less sense now, because everything feels off. Her center of gravity has shifted, she's wearing new clothes, the plane looks weirdly smaller, and just... everything.] What the - [And then she turns her head, because that was definitely Cobb voicing her thoughts. Where the hell is he?] Dom?

[...Wait. No. That's not right. That's still his voice, but no Cobb. And then she looks down. That was probably a mistake.]

[Cobb's day had started out normal. Wake up with the kids, get them and himself fed. Watch a bit of news and then take them to their grandfather. After all, Miles had said something about watching them while he went off to do the whole job thing. Something he had fun doing, not that he needed to, after dropping off the kids.

Deciding that a change of scenery was in order, he decided to drop into the Plane. When he did everything seemed... well, different. More... oh, he definitely didn't feel right.] What is-- [That was NOT his voice, it was her voice.] Arthur? [Why would she be? That's when he looked down and couldn't help but stare... What the hell was going on?!]

Dom?

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

[Eventually he hears his own voice and looks up, staring. He moves toward his own body and whoa... that's a mistake. Trying to walk around in a woman's body, not as easy as it looked.]

Arthur?

[Wait, that wasn't...]

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

You should kick off my heels before you fall over.

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

Are we sure I won't fall over anyway?

[However, he does reach down and pull off those heels. He doesn't want to fall on his face.]

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

No, but there's no use making it harder for you.

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately Dom cannot do the same. He's got a pair of heels in one hand and we're pretty sure that the outfit just doesn't do for him. Then again he had walked out of his home in a suit, so it might.]

How're you...?

[Holding up]

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

This is completely insane.

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

You're right, it is. When I showed up here this was the last thing I expected.

[Lets just hope Cobb doesn't run into anyone Arthur knows.]

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

So what the hell do we do now?

[Braxiatel looks at the two of them.] This one is new. What has gotten into this place lately, I wonder?

[He's just been drinking a lot, which is, all things considered, probably the best response.]

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

That's comforting, at least.

[collector]

That it's new?

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

And hopefully unlikely to repeat itself.

[collector]

For my sake, I'd hope so. Some of the people have dire wardrobes.

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[collector]

Does this switch apply back home, out of curiosity?

timey-wimey~

[pointwoman.livejournal.com]

Apparently.

the Plane is bigger on the inside!

[collector]

And you go back to your separate worlds--actually, better question first: do you share a reality?

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

[Cobb didn't really like being watched by someone he didn't know, but he just gives a nod to the man. This whole being trapped in Arthur's body was a bit... well, too damn weird for his liking.]

If anyone knows that, I'd really like the answer.

[collector]

Could be a little lighthearted fun to ease off a month of guilt and pain?

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

This right here, being in someone else's body, not fun.

[collector]

On the bright side, she has two arms, two legs, no tentacles, and good taste in clothing.

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

Arthur does have that, though I doubt she's having fun either. She'd much prefer her own body back and vice versa.

[collector]

That may be possible, though I can't be sure. Still, it worked last time, and it can't do you any harm. Not much harm likely, anyway.

[extract-themind.livejournal.com]

...What do you mean last time?
