Today on BNW: Beach Surprise! Ami's Special Birthday Gift...

[inthenameofthemoon]

Who: Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, Minako Aino and any party crashers that may just so happen to be near the beach *cough*The outer senshi*cough*
Where: Beachside, south of Union!
What: Wouldn't you guess, it's Ami's birthday! Usagi's taken the time to set up a birthday camp expedition to the beach with food, swimming and games to show a certain book worm how birthdays should really be according to her mantra.
Warnings: You've got the usual senshi shenanigans with a dash of the Body Swap event mixed in. Sounds like a hilarious episode, doesn't it?




[ Thanks to a little birdie one Rei Hino, it was up to Usagi to come up with the best birthday she could in what little time she had. And after careful consideration for who this birthday was for, Usagi could only come up with nothing but beach fun! It was still warm enough that swimming wouldn't get any of them sick, but it was cool enough that they wouldn't die of heat.

So, with friends, pokemon, food and camping gear in tow, it's time for the best birthday that Usagi hoped would be the best birthday Ami would ever have! ]

ooc: So, since this log is pretty simple, it's only going to be separated by Friday and Saturday (for obvious reasons). Friday might have more in terms of playing around, helping Mako-chan with the food or pokemon shenanigans but otherwise, have fun! It's not every day one turns 17 after all. ;D Also, don't be surprised if threadjacking happens? A whole bunch of teenage girls in one place.. it's only natural that everyone is in each others' business... unless you state that you don't want thread jacking. that's fine too!

SATURDAY BIRTHDAY SHENANGANS

[inthenameofthemoon]

 

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka and Michiru set up their tent a ways away from the party proper - those kids are loud and, well, you never know when mature adults are going to need a little privacy. Since they are technically out in the wild Haruka's posted World Shaking as a guard. He's just sitting in the sand and every now and then he makes grumbling noises.

Not much seems to have happened after midnight in this tent, either. They've just apparently swapped positions under this blanket. How talented.

Haruka, oddly enough, is the first to stir - sunlight in her eyes, glancing off of something. She blinks groggily and - oh. It's just catching in Michiru's pretty blonde hair. That's all right then. Her eyes close again.






Wait a minute. Her eyes snap open and she just

stares. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[have you ever imagined yourself in Michiru's nightgown? Because that's apparently happening right before you.

Michiru, however, doesn't seem to be quite ready to be awake yet. There's a quiet protest at the light as she shifts away from it. Is it just her or was there a lot more limb to move?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Frills. There's a line of frills on. Hah. And it's small on that body, which leaves very little to the imagination...

...except that's her, uh, talent on display there...

Haruka laughs and closes her eyes. What a weird dream she's having. ]



No way.

[ ....that was Michiru's voice. She lifts the blankets to check underneath them.

And will probably be looking there for quite some time. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[that's another grumble. Between the noise and the fact that her nightgown is apparently trying to choke her, it seems like the world is conspiring against her attempt to sleep in.

A sigh and a sleepy murmur.] Alright, alri...

[her hand freezes on its way to tug at the overly tight collar. That...was not her voice.]

[threemoms]

[ Later in the morning, after the initial "what's going on" is out of the way, people can find a blond boy sitting out on the beach, his legs pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. He looks despondent, staring out at the sea with a blank stare.

This was not how Hotaru had planned to spend her day. She thought she'd be able to finish the novel she was reading, maybe spend time with her Pokémon... not wind up in the body of a boy with a weird voice and a body that didn't seem human or Pokémon.

At least Setsuna had insisted she pack some more utilitarian clothing - she was glad to be able to wear a black T-shirt and shorts in this case.

But.... ugh. She wanted this to be over. Her Pokémon couldn't even comfort her, since she couldn't even understand them any more... ]

[incousinswithyou]

[and 'Haruka' pulls up a seat next to the kid, followed by an extremely confused looking Rapidash and an equally confused but also suspicious Eevee.]

Is it that bad? [if Hotaru has her Pokemon with her, Michiru could probably figure out who it is, but she's got an inkling anyway. Who else dresses all in black?]

[threemoms]

[ For Pokémon, the only one she's holding on to at the moment is her own Eevee, but let's face it, everybody has Eevees that doesn't tell much. Go with the all-black theme, Hotaru's the only person there who rolls with that.

When Haruka Michiru approaches, Hotaru stiffens. She's not sure how to handle this with anybody, let alone somebody close to her. ]

Haruka...? [ There's a bit of a question in there, because... is it really Haruka? ]

[incousinswithyou]

Michiru, actually. [she absentmindedly reaches up to tuck those stray bangs behind an ear, but....no, wait. Her hand drops back into her lap.

Her Eevee vees at her, still confused and annoyed at all the weirdness. Michiru offers a hand to the Pokemon, but she just gets a glare in return. Sigh.]

Did you feel anything?

[timeywimeyorb]

[Early morning Saturday and a small petite blonde sits on a blanket on the beach. She's sipping coffee from a thermos and keeps picking at a strand of blonde hair in front of her face. Setsuna doesn't understand what has happened between falling asleep the night before and waking up this morning...but she's fairly determined to figure it out.

Being up early may be strange for Usagi, but it really isn't for the woman who currently looks like her. She's already determined that her own abilities have been changed along with the body. Setsuna frowns and looks back towards her own tent.]

None of the books I brought are going to help with this either...

[She'd peaked in on Haruka and Michiru, but those two had seemed perfectly fine and she wasn't exactly comfortable enough with the other girls to approach them about this problem. Thankfully, it seemed no one else was an early bird.]

[incousinswithyou]

[looks like 'Haruka' has decided to join you, thermos of tea in hand. Her mannerisms may be...off, but you can't say she isn't graceful enough.]

You're not Usagi, are you? [it's more of a statement than a question, really.]

[actsmagnificent]

So.



[ Here's Michiru, settling onto the sand and flipping through a book. She's not sitting like a lady, though. She's sitting like a guy. ]

Ami, Setsuna, or the kid?

[ The kid's name is Hotaru, ffs. But the books are a tip-off that not all is as it seems. ]

[faithfulflame]

[Saturday morning rolls around in one of the tents...and Rei is sound asleep on her towel, snoring slightly...until a certain tightness begins to bother her. She scratches at her leg and tosses in her sleep, and then scratches her stomach and rolls over again. It's the sensation of cold that really bugs her though. She can't remember a time since she was six or seven that she was genuinely cold.

She crawls out of the tent slowly to sit in the sun and warm up, not really noticing the extra hair or muscles, but her nightgown feels oddly tight. In...just about every place. And that is what gets her to look down.

And see her very very male body!

With a sharp gasp, Rei blinks and covers her mouth, slipping back into the tent and grabbing a mirror from her pack to have a look. Because in dreams mirrors don't work, right? Right!

Except the face staring back at her isn't the right one. It's...]

Eiji-kun!?

[incousinswithyou]

[and when/if Rei finally peeks out of her tent, she might see 'Haruka' fiddling with a Warp Band in front of a highly suspicious Eevee.

Fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, Michiru catches Rei's eyes.]

Ah... [you....do not look like Rei.]

[faithfulflame]

H-Haruka-san...it's...not what you think.

[incousinswithyou]

[and she's crossing an arm across her torso, while her other hand is tapping at her chin.]

I get the feeling that's exactly it, however. [the wind is different than the sea, but it's not like she can't put two and two together.] Rei, is it?

[and there's a storm of protesting vees from the Eevee. Why are you humans so difficult to keep track of??]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She sensed it before she actually realized the full extent of the situation. She felt incredibly... off. Everything felt wrong and more than that, everything felt distant and strange. For a brief second she thought it was the result from too much partying with the other girls. However, she quickly rid herself of that thought as she took account of everything that felt unnatural and that was, well, everything. She took a deep breath.

The ocean waves didn't calm her. She opened her eyes and instantly grabbed her glasses. She put them on and walked out of her tent dressed in her nightwear she selected for the beach. Her pokemon stayed beside her, though they eyed her with unease.

She took a deep breath and surveyed the situation around her before adjusting her glasses.]

It would seem we've had our bodies- [She gazed at everyone and felt it strange that she could no longer read them like she once could. But she watched as various figures walked out of the tents belonging to her friends, figures and faces that had not been there the night before.] have been altered... [She gazed down at her body which was now most certainly male.]

Though I cannot explain why, at the moment.

[incousinswithyou]

[Ami might see 'Haruka' knee deep in the water, talking to Milotic and Gyarados. Bass seems to be politely befuddled, but Melody just leans in for a (wet) nuzzle.

Michiru just smiles and gives the Pokemon a hug.]

[allergictoloveletters]

[Ami was going to wonder how Haruka had remained unchanged... only to realize the situation with the pokemon in question. She went over to the older woman and, running off her current theory in mind...]

Michiru-san? [It was tentative, it wouldn't be unheard of for family to be close to pokemon within the family, but she honestly never saw Haruka around the two pokemon at all yesterday.]

[incousinswithyou]

[she turns at her name. Heh. Got it in one.]

I'm afraid you have the advantage of me. [that smile probably means you got it right. Also that sentence.]

[child_of_luv]

[Despite any other calm reactions, Minako was anything but calm... In fact, once she fully realized what had happened, completely ignoring anyone else, by the way, she squealed! Loudly!

Only, it sounded more like a teenage boy than a teenage girl.]

[actsmagnificent]

'Morning.

[ Guess who's been up for a while now? Michiru!

....Michiru in an incredibly baggy shirt over her swimsuit, apparently. With her hair tied up off her neck and her hands shoved in her shirt pockets.

Huh. ]

Totally need to find more emotive images of Green... /sob/

[child_of_luv]

What happened????

[Totally not even noticing that Michiru might be out of sorts here.]

[inthenameofthemoon]

[ That's okay. Minako's not the only one who's reacting vocally about the change in body! A scream like the end of the world was nigh comes from Usagi's tent. It still sounds a little girlish, but that's only because it's coming from a eleven year old boy that's stumbling out of Usagi's tent in adorable pink sleeping shorts (with an adorable bunny patch on the left front of the shorts) and a white short sleeved shirt that.. looks rather awkward on the a little tween boy's build. ]

WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHY AM I GUY?!

[child_of_luv]

[Wait! She wasn't alone!]

Me, too!!! What... wait... who are you?!
