Bodyswap on the House on the Hill: ENDGAME

[hot_mess_express]

The fourth key has been found.

In the liminal space, the final keyhole begins to glow. You hear an echoing click — click — click — click as each of the locks turn. The door creaks open, a warm golden light like sunrise spilling into the room —

You've done it! You're finally free!

The house, as it turns out, is perched at the top of a grassy hill. Birds are singing to greet the rising sun, and a fine, dewy mist hangs in the air. Any wounds you may have had are instantly and painlessly healed, like they were never even there.

Down by the wrought-iron gates is a rickety old picnic table with seating enough for twelve, though there's no food or drink to be found out here. Anyone who found items will still have them, though the keys have disappeared, and any weapons you found will vanish as well as soon as you leave this area. And though you're still stuck in your swapped bodies, you're free to reveal your own identity.

Once you walk out of the gates, you'll find yourself back in your own bodies … probably!

((OOC: Want to do body-swaps for a little while longer? Go for it! You can even arrange the new swaps amongst yourselves. This'll be OOC choice with OOC permission from any and all parties, not IC. It'll last a couple of hours at most.))

[ Clanks out into endgame wearing a suit of (cheap ren-faire) armour, carrying an axe in one hand, a bunch of apples, and a pair of blue lacy boxer shorts ]

I have apples! Does anybody want an apple?

[gingerdiligence]

Why would you eat anything you found in this cursed house!

[thymeforbones]

I was hungry.

If you don't want any, that's fine. More for me!

[switchdingerscockroach]

I'll have an apple, thanks.

[thymeforbones]

Here you go!

[ One apple for you. ]

They're good, very crunchy and juicy.

[ponyingaround]

I could use an apple.

[thymeforbones]

One apple for you!

[ Hands one over. ]

I'm glad I brought so many.

[icecreamsandswitch]

Whew! I'm glad that's over with.

[ She's so ready to be herself again. So ready. Speaking of "herself" ... looks around for her body. ]

[bestbrothernever]

Whoa. This is is weird...

[icecreamsandswitch]

Trust me, it never gets any less weird.

[ Turns to him with a smile. ]

You must be Roxas, huh? Nice to meet you.

[gingerdiligence]

[This girl is in a fighting stance, fists raised. She seems confused and almost disappointed that there's nothing dangerous through the door.]

No final challenge?

[Okay, she'll go out and look at the sights. Suspiciously.]

[icecreamsandswitch]

Ah...! You're ...

[ Well. You're her. ]

[gingerdiligence]

[Eyebrow raise.]

I am Loki of Asgard. [And a grin as she's able to say that finally.] I assume this is your body?

[switchdingerscockroach]

[Looking a little soggy but wrapped up in a bunch of fire suppression blankets with so many machetes]

Oh, did we win? That wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

[bestbrothernever]

[ Running over to! ]

You're okay! Where did you go?

[magicalgirladjacent]

[Oh look, there's some water magician who is also only one armed.]

[Except no, that is definitely Mao body with magicy things. Looking vaguely annoyed with things.]

[undyingtechnic]

....

You certainly know how to play me right. [I too would hoard machetes.]

[gingerdiligence]

If I may?

[She says as she's already helping herself to a machete.]

[ponyingaround]

[ Clopping along with a freshly bandaged back leg. Bandage may or may not be made from strips of pants. ]

I miss having hands...

[magicalgirladjacent]

.....you never figured out the telekinesis, did you?

[undyingtechnic]

....huh. I was expecting a desperately evil monologue after all that.

[icecreamsandswitch]

Please don't jinx us. I'm just glad it's over.

[magicalgirladjacent]

[One watery magical boy here with a fencing foil made of water, ready to fight tge final boss....!]

[Except there is none.]

....all that to abruptly end?

[gingerdiligence]

Indeed. I do question what the point was, what we accomplished, what great evil we defeated during the trial.

[thymeforbones]

[ ...! ]

[ stares intently ]

[ i know that magic ]
