004 [action]

[tomodachi]

[action; locked to house 48]

[So, after the first week of mostly normalcy for him, save for the occasional random teleporting (much to Crow's enjoyment for spooking some people, but being annoying whenever he tried to talk to some of his friends), the second week starts with a very, very different change. It's immediately noticeable the moment he wakes up, and not in the way he normally does. It doesn't feel like a computer booting up, it feels like how a normal person would wake up. Not only that, for some reason, he feels weird, as if someone flipped a switch. Now he can actually feel things, like the texture of the bed or how squishy his cheek is, but why would that--

--And then he notices from looking in a mirror that has Seto's reflection instead of his own, so yeah, enjoy what sounds like "Seto" loudly swearing and waking you up early in the morning, everyone in House 48.]

What the hell is this!?

[action; open to all on any day of the second week!]

[Later, once the chaos at House 48 dies down, you'll likely find "Seto" wandering around being...well, definitely weirder than usual. At first there's a lot of scowling going on or being rather rude. Crow is still not entirely sure what the hell is going on here and why he's stuck in his best friend's body, but eventually he'll start to get over it and can probably be found bothering people like how he normally does, or trying to play around like usual...trying being the key word there, because Crow might be severely underestimating Seto's body being able to do stuff like cartwheels and shit like he can.

Of course, there's also the real Seto, who is now in Crow's body and is probably very un-Crow like as well. Like Crow, who is trying to get used to what its like being in a human body, now Seto is in Crow's body and having to contend with everything that comes with being in a robot body, so...yep. Definitely nothing awkward happening here right now. Have fun running into either of them, or both at the same time.

ooc: Replies from Crow will come from presumablyalive, and possible replies from Seto will come from solesoul! Just let us know whether you want both in the same thread or separate threads with either of them.]

Comments

I wish I could say I was sorry for any of this but I'm not

[presumablyalive]

["Seto" turns to face Firo, eyes wide and a hand in his hair--before Firo walked in, he had been playing with the now fluffy brown head of hair and watching as the reflection did the same, so yeah, he's kind of freaked out for a second.]

Do I look okay to you? [...] ...Wait, that was a stupid question, don't bother answering that.

[hey Crow how about calming down and explaining what the heck the problem is instead of just confusing the poor guy]

I laughed so hard at this; there is no reason to be sorry

[foundafamily]

[This attitude is not the sweet Seto Firo knew. He can't even process the harsh--okay, he's had a lot worse, but never from Seto--words for a moment. But then they sink in.

Clearly hurt, he blinks and just stares at "Seto" before he can speak. Something must be really wrong, right, for the kid to act like this?]

I... Well. You sounded like somethin' bad'd happened. What's wrong?

[presumablyalive]

What's wro--wow nevermind, that question was even dumber.

[CROW--err, "Seto". Yes, Seto, who is just...acting weird as hell right now and not realizing how much he's probably freaking out Firo as a result as he turns his attention back towards the mirror and moves a hand in front of his face, watching the reflection do the same. He pokes the mirror, watching the reflection do that too, now feeling the touch of the glass under his fingers.] What is this...?

[foundafamily]

[What the hell is he doing? Firo can't even tell what that question means to answer it.]

Come on, Seto, you're... you're not actin' like yourself.

[He can't bring himself to say he's worried--not yet--even as desperation enters his tone.]

Just tell me what happened, all right? Whatever it was, I won't be mad.

[As much as he tries not to let it slip in front of the kids, Firo's been told he has a bit of a temper. Maybe that's why Seto's clamming up?]

[presumablyalive]

[...Okay, maybe he is unfairly taking this frustration and confusion out on Firo, even though its not the guy's fault. (...Or so he hopes its not.) He sighs and scrubs a hand through his hair, still kind of amazed at the sensation of touch the action brings.]

Look, I don't know what's going on, alright? I just...woke up looking like Seto for some reason and I don't know why...

[foundafamily]

You... woke up lookin' like Seto?

[His mind slowly fits the pieces together--this isn't Seto. Instantly, he's on alert, his muscles tensing.]

Who the hell are you?

[presumablyalive]

[Ugh] You moron, it's me, Crow. Who else could I be?

...Well, other than Seto, obviously.

[...If it was someone else that had suddenly turned into Seto though, he would be admittedly irritated too because how dare someone pretend to be his best friend. As it is now though, he's just...really confused as to why he is now a human and looks like Seto...]

[foundafamily]

Crow? That's you?

[He leans in to give the kid a closer look, not that it really helps. This definitely looks like Seto, with no indication that it could be anyone else. Except for the attitude which, admittedly, is very much like Crow's.]

How'd you--Wait, then where's Seto?!

[presumablyalive]

How should I know? I just woke up looking like this!

[And yeah, that's not helping either, not knowing where his best friend is. Normally, Crow's pretty chill, but it should be obvious that he's actually kind of panicking a little right now as he looks down at his now human hands and starts opening and closing them a little, watching the motion curiously. Normally, there were springs and bolts that made his hands move, but this feels very different...]

[foundafamily]

Damn it--!

[He's about to rush off into the house to go looking for the other kid, but he stops when he sees Crow staring at his hands.

He doesn't realize just how strange being in a human body must feel to Crow, but he can tell something's bothering him. And what wouldn't be bothering him about waking up in someone else's body? He tries to rest his hand on Crow/Seto's shoulder.]

Hey, what's wrong?

[presumablyalive]

[The sudden hand on his shoulder shakes Crow out of his thoughts temporarily, actually startling him a little at the sudden touch--which, normally isn't an easy feat.]

Huh? [He lowers his hands back down, looking away.]--Nothing, just thinking how weird it is, that's all.

[But he is idly poking at things around the room again; it's understandable to be curious right, since this is the first time he's experiencing the sensation of touch like how humans do...though, this also includes trying to poke Firo too because why not.]

[foundafamily]

What're you--?

[He withdraws his hand as Crow pokes at him, but lets the kid keep doing so. Firo's beginning to realize that this must be pretty strange to Crow.]

Is it... What's it like?

[He can't imagine going from being able to fall off a roof with no damage to being able to feel everything. He wouldn't blame Crow if he were a little overwhelmed by it all.]

[presumablyalive]

[Crow doesn't say anything right away, but it appears that you hit the nail on the head, especially as he suddenly starts playing with Firo's hair for a second.]

Huh, it's just like Seto's hair... [Wonder if it's anything like the hair we had on our head with our robotic body...probably not, since it was synthetic and not like real human hair. (Not to mention probably needed to be cleaned more often than it was, unlike his housemates who actually bathed and all...)]

[foundafamily]

Wha--Hey!

[He laughs as Crow touches his hair.]

Yeah, I think all hair is pretty much the same.

[And then his eyes light up as--in the rarest of rare occurrences--Firo has a thought.]

Hey, have you been outside yet?

[presumablyalive]

Huh? [That's kind of a strange question to be asking...]

No, not yet. Why do you wanna know that?

[foundafamily]

[He shrugs.]

Well, if this is all new, you probably haven't felt the sun or the wind, have you? Might be neat.

[presumablyalive]

Really? [Crow's always been aware of those things outside, but it's true, he's never really felt the warmth of the sun or a potential chill of the wind. He hasn't heard Seto complain about those things too much, so it should be fine, right?]

...Okay, I wanna go outside now. [Plus there's probably other new things to try to touch outside and not just the stuff in Seto's room.]

[foundafamily]

Yeah!

[He smiles, happy that Crow's taken him up on his offer, and walks to the door.]

Let's go.

[presumablyalive]

Yeah. [Crow follows, albeit a little slower and perhaps more cautiously than he might have normally. Thank God walking as a human isn't any different than walking as he did before, although he did feel a little wobbly when he first woke up.

Now, however, he's following Firo, looking around as they head for the door. Hopefully, it's not raining outside, but...then again, it wouldn't really bother him anymore if it was, would it? So it should be okay no matter what kind of weather is going on outside...]

[foundafamily]

[Firo holds the door open as he steps outside. It's nice and clear out, not too hot, though it might feel strange to someone who's never felt warmth. Firo can't even imagine what that's like. There were times when, as a kid, he'd go numb from being cold too long, but he can't imagine simply not feeling.

The more he thinks about it, the worse he feels for Crow.

He watches Crow, wondering what his reaction will be.]

What do ya think?

[presumablyalive]

[Crow isn't sure what to think. At first, he can't tell whether there's a difference or not, but after a few seconds, his arms and face start to feel a little warmer now from being out in the sun. He holds his hands up, looking them over a little.]

...It's strange. [He's never felt the warmth of the sun before, but it...it feels kind of nice, actually, the longer he stands here for the moment.]

[foundafamily]

Yeah?

[Firo continues to watch Crow closely, ready to try and step in if this gets to be too much for the kid. ]

Good strange or bad strange?

[presumablyalive]

...Good strange, I think.

[He's actually smiling a little now. It's such a small thing, but for some reason he really likes this feeling. So this is what it's like to feel warm outside, or even being able to feel things like a breeze playing with his hair...]

[foundafamily]

[Firo smiles and reaches over to ruffle Crow's hair.]

Glad to hear it.

Hey, this means you can actually taste food, doesn't it?

[presumablyalive]

Huh? What are you talking about?

[...Oh wait, humans like to eat stuff don't they? But it's not like he's ever needed to eat before, so--but then, perfect timing, there's a noticeable growling noise of hunger coming from his stomach that nearly startles him as he looks down. What was that?]
