Bodyswap on the House on the Hill: ENDGAME

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: (yelling)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-28 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you eat anything you found in this cursed house!
icecreamsandswitch: (Worry)

[personal profile] icecreamsandswitch 2020-03-28 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
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. ]
thymeforbones: (Hmm!)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
I was hungry.

If you don't want any, that's fine. More for me!
gingerdiligence: (eyeroll)

[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.]
gingerdiligence: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-28 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[So much facepalm.]

I did not expect to find another Volstagg in this trial.
thymeforbones: (huh)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
A what?

[ Casually munches on one of the apples, core and all. ]
gingerdiligence: (ugh)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-28 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
One of the more irksome of my brother's friends. He never could resist food, no matter how dangerous the place he found it in. Though he is a god and quite a bit more hardy than mortals.
thymeforbones: (EY)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Good for him.

You must've seen scarier things than we did, if you're that worried about it. I wouldn't be eating them if I thought they were gonna hurt Eliza. That'd be rude.
gingerdiligence: (lineface)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-28 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
The inhabitants of this house likely kidnapped and murdered twelve people and we are possibly being used as part of a ritual. I would expect anything to be a trap.
thymeforbones: (but why)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh.

That explains the zombie.

But even scary, painful trials are just made up, aren't they? It's just, hm, the things that happened to us in there were real, but the story behind it wasn't.
switchdingerscockroach: (...what)

[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.
switchdingerscockroach: (THE RUDEST SMILE)

[personal profile] switchdingerscockroach 2020-03-28 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll have an apple, thanks.
thymeforbones: (EY)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Here you go!

[ One apple for you. ]

They're good, very crunchy and juicy.
ponyingaround: (i'd rather be)

[personal profile] ponyingaround 2020-03-28 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Clopping along with a freshly bandaged back leg. Bandage may or may not be made from strips of pants. ]

I miss having hands...
bestbrothernever: (uncertainty)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-28 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. This is is weird...
ponyingaround: (it's a new world it's a new start)

[personal profile] ponyingaround 2020-03-28 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I could use an apple.
bestbrothernever: (lol)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-28 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Running over to! ]

You're okay! Where did you go?
thymeforbones: (point!)

[personal profile] thymeforbones 2020-03-28 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
One apple for you!

[ Hands one over. ]

I'm glad I brought so many.
icecreamsandswitch: (Small smile)

[personal profile] icecreamsandswitch 2020-03-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, it never gets any less weird.

[ Turns to him with a smile. ]

You must be Roxas, huh? Nice to meet you.
icecreamsandswitch: (Surprise)

[personal profile] icecreamsandswitch 2020-03-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...! You're ...

[ Well. You're her. ]
ponyingaround: (it's a new world it's a new start)

[personal profile] ponyingaround 2020-03-28 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Tries to handle with hooves ]

Where did you find them?
bestbrothernever: (orz)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-28 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
This has happened before?
switchdingerscockroach: (...what)

[personal profile] switchdingerscockroach 2020-03-28 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think there'd be anything this good in that house.

[Taking a bite]
switchdingerscockroach: (Wet cat)

[personal profile] switchdingerscockroach 2020-03-28 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's you! I was fine, were you okay? I got thrown into a pool.
