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.))

No, you're Mao.

You're very very Mao.

[switchdingerscockroach]

You're 100% sure about that?

[thymeforbones]

Two hundred percent!

Say, "I'm going to the gym."

[switchdingerscockroach]

I'm going t'gym?

[thymeforbones]

Exactly!

Mao.

[switchdingerscockroach]

Using my dialect against me is cheating Meri.

[This is a written text format how dare you bring accents into it]

[thymeforbones]

[ don't be salty!! ]

Pfff, no it's not. And I used your smile, too!

[switchdingerscockroach]

Anyone could smile like that. Dusk could even smile like this, look.

[thymeforbones]

That's your smile on Dusk's face. Don't think I can't tell the difference!

[switchdingerscockroach]

Are you criticising my Dusk impression. He said I'm doing great at being him I'll have you know.

[thymeforbones]

...


You and Dusk are very very very very very very very very different people and Dusk has no idea what he's talking about.

[ sage nod ]

[switchdingerscockroach]

How are we different. Have you not seen our matching machete hoarding ways. Practically twins, what difference could there be?

[thymeforbones]

You're very small and cute, and you listen to my feelings without me having to yell at you first.

[ i hope you wanted an honest answer because that's what you got ]

[switchdingerscockroach]

[Don't be flustered by the compliment FOCUS]

Um, thank you. You have to yell your feelings at him?

[thymeforbones]

He's very frustrating sometimes.

[switchdingerscockroach]

That's unfortunate... But I'm sure you yell at him good.

[thymeforbones]

I do! I'm very loud and very stubborn!

[ it's a charm point ]

[switchdingerscockroach]

You are, you're very good at that.

[He's charmed]

[thymeforbones]

[ beams at him! ]

And you're just the best.

[switchdingerscockroach]

Aww shucks, you're only saying that so I'll get you a bigger cake.

[thymeforbones]

No, no, no, you really are.

Really really.

I'm glad you're the person I gave a ring to.

[switchdingerscockroach]

[Oh no this is too touching and sincere]

...I'm really glad too. I don't know much about the ring, but... I'm just glad for you.

[thymeforbones]

[ Drapes on him! ... Tries ... to drape on him ... ]

Wah, Eliza is too short! Bend down. [ Tug tug ]

Anyway! We'll remember. No rush. Then we'll see what other colours you can turn.

[switchdingerscockroach]

[Bends down for her]

I didn't know I could be so colourful. It doesn't look like me at all.

[thymeforbones]

[ yes, good, thank you ]

[ DRAPES ]

Maybe it's a secret magical disguise!
