[ there's a long pause of static, and it's several minutes before someone speaks.]
Hello everyone.
[ another pause ]
I know why people are switching bodies, and it's not because of a curse. It was my magic that did it. I- I'm really sorry.
[ she pauses again, her following words filled with slight apprehension ]
I didn't mean to do it, I promise. Today's curse- It made all sort of creatures actt strangely, including one of my Cards. They're not like playing cards or baseball cards, but cards that contain magical spirits. These spirits take all shapes and sizes. Some have the form of beautiful ladies, while others look like children or fairies, and there's also some that look and act like animals.
The card that escaped is The Change, and it's one of the animal-like spirits. That blue creature you saw around the City? That was him. B- but I promise, I didn't do it on purpose! I would never hurt anyone with my magic- [ her voice cracks, as a soft sob breaks through] Never. Why would I want to do this sort of thing to people? Switch their bodies and make them frightened or angry or sad.
I should have caught it earlier. I sensed it -- the presence of the Card, but I didn't think it could be one. There's tons and tons of magic in the City, unlike Tomoeda, so everything gets tangled when I tried to sense its presence. And I'd never thought one of my cards would run away! I hadn't summoned it, a- and I love all of them. This isn't like them. Even if ones like The Change can be mischievous.
[ Her voice is notably worn around the edges. She's tired - where else had The Change taken its power from other than its Mistress? ]
Please don't hate me or be angry with me. Please I never meant to hurt anyone! I promise I'll fix everything. I know I can - as long as I catch the card and use it on everyone that's swapped, everything will be all right.
But it's important that you remember when you were swapped. Even after I catch the Card, the magic takes 24 hours to weaken before I can reverse it. If you go over those 24 hours, that means the two of you are stuck that way forever.
I won't let that happen.
EDIT: ANYONE THAT WAS AFFECTED! PLEASE MEET SYAORAN-KUN AND I AT THE HOT SPRINGS, TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE TIME YOU WERE SWITCHED YESTERDAY.
