....!

[The Roger who appears on the video looks very much in need of a shave and a hair trimmer, and possibly a change of clothes as well. But he's grinning, and not in the way that implies he's going to bite anyone, either.]

I have no idea what just happened or why but I just woke up in my own body. Neytiri? Neytiri, if you can hear me, are you

[ney_tiri]

I can hear you, Roger.

[She's laughing, she's so happy. She has never been so thrilled to be blue and glowing again.]

And I am fine. It seems you are, too. I am happy for you.

[first_of_steel]

I'm glad you're all right too. [He runs a hand over his face. It's bristly and squishy. It may be the best thing ever.] Looks like you took really good care of... everything, really. I owe you for this.

[ney_tiri]

[She's smiling at his actions. She knows the feeling. She'd spent some time this morning just running her hands down her sides and over her face to make sure she wasn't dreaming.]

I did my best. It seems as though whoever was in mine did well.

[first_of_steel]

Nice hammock you made, too, by the way. I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this.

[It's a little odd; he can almost feel the echoes in his mind of other such sleeping arrangements, higher up and among proper trees. Rather like coming back to your old barracks and finding the walls and beds and other things are just like you remember, but someone left their things behind as well.]

This probably calls for some kind of celebration. Not sure exactly how we'd go about arranging that, though.

[So, so relieved, but he doesn't quite sound it.]

I'm back in mine, too.

[A snort, almost amused.]

Seems like the damn cat didn't stay in the apartment like I told him to. At least he didn't starve my body.

[first_of_steel]

Thank goodness for small favors. You're all right otherwise?

[Video]

[governorkang]

Yeah, I'm fine. It's weird as hell to have other people's memories in my head, still, though.

No kidding. I haven't poked at them too closely yet, myself. I have a feeling they'll come loose eventually.

Although speaking of other people, Neytiri and I are looking for a decent park or something to celebrate getting back to our bodies in. You've been here longer than I have. Know anywhere with trees?

[epic_celestial]

Oh! Is this the body you are supposed to be in, Maxson?

[first_of_steel]

Yup. This is the one I had when I started. Hi, Temeraire. Good to see you.

[first_of_steel]

Everything seems to be normal. I need to shave and my mouth tastes like I haven't brushed my teeth for a week, but that's because I haven't. No surprises there.

I'm guessing he is. Can't imagine where else he'd be. Want me to come around and...

[He trails off, suddenly aware of how ridiculous offering to come and check on a Cybertronian jet must sound coming from a human.]

[first_of_steel]

I suppose that's true. Keep me posted if it's not too much trouble, though?

[first_of_steel]

And believe me, Miss Potts, I appreciate that fact. Thank you for covering for me during my involuntary leave of absence. I suspect I owe you a good deal more than the common run right now.

[first_of_steel]

Must've kept you on your toes something fierce. That was Mr. Stark, right? You've mentioned him before.
