[Video; backdated to September 13th]

[Like so many others, Lenna woke up today feeling very unlike herself.  Unlike so many others, however, she has neglected to employ the handy 'voice-only' function of the Warp Band when reaching out for help.  So everyone in Union can be treated to the sight of a certain blue-haired nerd clad in an orange dress as the video flicks on.  The young man is blushing fiercely, keeping his eyes largely averted from the screen except for the most momentary of glances.]

Um... did anyone else wake up feeling... well...

[He glances down at himself.]

Different, today?

[There is a short pause.]

Also, Lute.  I... believe I have something of yours.  Um... it's Lenna.

[Action; morning; September 14th; Breeding Center]

[Lenna-as-Lute walks out of the Breeding Center early in the morning, carrying a newly hatched baby Eevee in her arms.  Normally, a new Pokemon would be a cause for celebration, but right now she seems more worried than anything.  The Pokemon itself seems calm and content in her arms, at least.]

Oh, you poor thing... you're going to be so confused when this is all over, aren't you?

Vee?

I'm sorry.  It was... bad timing, I suppose.

[Action 2; afternoon; September 14th; public park]

[By this point, Lenna has borrowed a pair of clothes from Lute so that she can dress a bit more properly considering her new body.  Unfortunately, she's currently got another problem on her mind.  Onlookers may be able to guess what it is, considering that she's standing in front of one of the water fountains situated throughout Union, shuffling her feet back and forth and looking rather uncomfortable.]

Nnnn... what should I do...

Action 2

[Well, Rise can't reach out to other peoples' minds anymore, but she can guess.]

Ending up in a boy's body is the worst, isn't it?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Oh! A-ah... yes. It's... very inconvenient.

[Nobles gonna noble. How do you even express this politely.]

[celebrity_commentator]

Well...if you don't mind some unsolicited advice, you can still do it the same way you did before, just...you know...make sure everything's pointed down.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Th-that doesn't really help...

[Lenna buries her face in her hands to hide her blush.]

[roadrolled]

[All that can really be seen of Len right now are his eyes, which aren't even his. He's still at home, hiding underneath the blanks when he answers.

...Well, he's at Lenna's home technically, but this is the first time he's talked to her since this happened. His voice is notably less synthetic sounding than usual, and there's really nothing to suggest that this is Len unless she recognizes that backdrop of his and Rin's room.]

...Are you really Lenna?

video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Yes, but... who are you? A friend of Rin and Len's, maybe?

Re: video

[roadrolled]

I'm... [He seems to be having trouble spitting it out, since she didn't realize it right away. Len pulls the blanket a little tighter, mumbling.]

...Len...

video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

W-what? So it happened to you too, then...

[Lenna frowns, tugging at the front of her dress.]

Re: video

[roadrolled]

...Unfortunately. I don't even know who this person is, but I hate it! [He shivers and shakes his head, looking totally miserable.]

Nobody told me being human sucked this much.

video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Oh... I'm sorry. This must be even harder on you.

Re: video

[roadrolled]

Well duh. My stomach really hurts... Why would your stomach hurt after eating?! It makes no sense!

video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

That just means you ate too much, or you had something that didn't agree with you.

Re: video

[roadrolled]

...What? [He squints in disbelief.] But that's totally stupid! How can you eat too much? And since when did food's opinion matter? It can disagree all it wants, I still ate it.

video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Well, human stomachs can only hold so much. And some people are allergic to different kinds of foods, or it doesn't digest well...

Re: video

[roadrolled]

...For real? What kind of dumb design flaw is that? [Whoever invented humans is stupid.]

Video

[demon_of_sforzando]

Lenna?

[When Lute woke up with her body it was logical to assume that Lenna had his. Actually seeing himself on the warp band is still a little weird.]

Um, yes. I think I have something of yours as well. Actually it seems like there's a lot of this going around today...

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Doubly weird, presumably, since now Lute gets to see how his body actually doesn't look that out of place in a dress.]

When you changed clothes today, you didn't, um...

...

...did you?

[What belongs in place of that pause should be implied strongly enough.]

Video

[demon_of_sforzando]

Huh? Oh! No!

[So flustered.]

That is, I got dressed with my eyes closed! So I definitely didn't see anything!

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Oh... thank goodness.

[Lenna lets out quite a large sigh at that.]

But, um... you probably still need to borrow some clothes, don't you?

[One garment in particular that boys don't have in their closets.]

Video

[demon_of_sforzando]

Oh, no. My clothes fit just fine.

[/doesn't get it.]

Luckily our sizes aren't actually that different.

[/really doesn't get it. And no, he doesn't have the sense not to say that.]

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Not... that different...

[Lenna frowns, looking down to tug at the fabric covering her chest. It's a little loose, but hardly noticeable.]

W-well, I suppose that's true, but you didn't have to say it like that.

Video

[demon_of_sforzando]

Say it... like what? What's wrong?


[Ohnoes she's sad now. And he seriously has no idea why. Cadenza sighs and gently pushes him aside.]


Gar, gardevoir devoir. Gar...devoir. Devoir gardevoir. {Please forgive him. He.... means well. He doesn't understand girls.}


[It's strange for him, not knowing what she's saying. Really it's the most difficult part of this whole ordeal. Although in this case, even he can guess that she's apologizing for..... whatever he did.]

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

O-oh, Cadenza...

[Lenna blinks curiously at the screen, momentarily surprised that she can understand the Gardevoir's words. Apparently more than just their bodies changed.]

Ah... n-no, it was my fault for assuming. Um... would you mind coming over here and picking something up to bring back to him, then?

[She leans in close to whisper this next part.]

Please help him put it on, and make sure he doesn't see anything.

Video

[demon_of_sforzando]

Gar, gardevoir. {Of course, I'll be over soon.}

[Lute waits for this exchange to end before speaking up again.]

Um, at any rate, I've been doing a little research since this happened. It seems like a large portion of the population is affected. And rather than just physical appearance, powers ad abilities have also been switched. Oddly though, everyone stayed in the same location.

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

So... that's why I could understand what Cadenza was saying just now?
