[Action - Union Divine Theater]

[Forward-dated to 10 am because it's Saturday, dammit.]

[Oh, the glorious weekend when there isn't a show on. Rise rolls over for about the third time before she notices that something's not...fitting right.]

[It only takes a second or so of investigation to discover something terribly wrong.]




Wh-what in all the gods' names?!

[Fast forward a few minutes of despair, staring into the mirror, and more despair, and Rise's decided that her first priority is getting out of her pajamas.]



[Anyone at the theater this morning can be treated to the sight of Workaholic Ponytailed Ranger Asemu Asuno "sneaking" very obviously around the building while dressed in a fluffy pink nightgown and checking for unlocked doors on Haruka's room, Ruby's room, or if push comes to shove, costume storage, followed by an extremely bemused Gardevoir/Blissey duo.]

[Audio - locked to Asemu Asuno]

[Later...]

ASEMU!

[Here's hoping the Warp Bands work correctly and go to the right guy.]

[second_destiny]

Oh!

[That voice sounds nothing like Asemu's. It's way too high-pitched.]

Rise? Please tell me that's you! I was just about to call you myself!

[Fortunately, Rise has enough logical skill to have been expecting her own voice if she was speaking in Asemu's. Unfortunately...]

...wow, do I really sound like that? I always thought I was way lower pitched when I was speaking.

[For Savior's sake, Rise.]

[second_destiny]

You did? Well, I guess it kind of sounds like it when the voice is coming from you...

...but is that really what you wanted to say?

[celebrity_commentator]

No, I wanted to ask you what the heck happened! Why am I you!?

[second_destiny]

What? Why would I know that? I've never even heard of this happening before!

[celebrity_commentator]

Well you're the other person involved! Where else would I start asking?

[second_destiny]

Yeah, but I've never even heard of something like this happening before! Ever!

[celebrity_commentator]

[She takes a deep breath. Wow, even that felt different.]

This is really, really, really uncomfortable.

[second_destiny]

Yeah, I think so, too. What do we do, and how do we do it? This is going to be really awkward.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, aside from both of us dressing with our eyes closed if you know what's good for you...

[She tried when she did it. Honest.]

...I don't even know who to ask.

[second_destiny]

Wha--hey! You didn't need to give me that kind of warning!

[Like he would have done it any other way. And he's filling the bathtub up to chest level before taking off his clothes and getting in, thank you.]

Maybe the council will say something? I-I can ask Dad to bring it up!

[Trying to change the subject!]

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh crap, I hadn't even thought about telling my family about this.

Maybe I should just hide for...however long this lasts.

[second_destiny]

But then they'll worry about you, won't you? Would you really want to put your family through that?

[celebrity_commentator]

Wellllll...to be totally honest, I'm kinda bad at keeping in touch anyway. I've been more or less on my own since I started on the radio, you know.

[second_destiny]

...Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh hey, don't get all dramatic about it. It's not like they disowned me or anything, I just...have nothing in common with them.

[second_destiny]

Even so, you only get one family. It's always sad if it doesn't work out.

I had two tabs with your conversations open at once oops

[celebrity_commentator]

Hey, you're worrying too much again.

Anyway, that's not really the most important thing right now, right?

Yeah, that confused me initially.

[second_destiny]

Ah. Sorry. I guess it isn't. We need to see what we can find out about what's going on.
