Chapter 24. Dude looks like a lady

[bloody_pens]

Well, Genius and I are both old ladies now, so at least we're in good company.

He hasn't stopped screaming for, like, 10 minutes.

[Derrick is his mother, Martha Rodgers.]

YOU WOULD BE SCREAMING TOO IF YOU TURNED INTO YOUR SHE-BOSS!!!!!

[bloody_pens]

You're one step ahead of me, at least- I have no idea who the hell I even am.

[cruella_dewitt]

ITS WORSE WHEN YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE!!

Oh my God, Catherine would kill me if she knew! I'm pretty sure she would. I have the feeling death would be in my future for being in her body!!!

[bloody_pens]

I guess it really depends on the person, eh? For all I know, this could've been someone I passed on the street once.

Settle down, she's not here, at least.

Pifth you walked into that one Derrick

[cruella_dewitt]

She looks familiar...

THAT'S BECAUSE I'M IN HER BODY!!!!!!

lol

[bloody_pens]

I do, too, actually.

So DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Chill. She can't kill you while you're in her body unless you want to hurt yourself.

[cruella_dewitt]

No I mean--you! Old woman you. Looks...familiar. Like I've seen that face before--but not in the same way that my old lady face is familiar. IDK

DERRICK. I AM TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF A OLD WOMAN THAT I WORKED WITH IN THE OUR TOP SECRET JOB THAT I DON'T REMEMBER!! OF COURSE I'M GOING TO WORRY!!

[bloody_pens]

Oh, right. Well, I changed into her the last time something like this happened.

... you probably don't remember.

Hey, you're still the same neurotic man-twin!

oh right he has no memory of that weekend. OOPS

[cruella_dewitt]

No it's something about her nose. Or the eyes...Wait. What?

Why don't I remember?

What?

[PAIN IN THE HEAD. ARGH. SCREW THINKING]

Forget it. I'm going to work.

WHOOPS

[bloody_pens]

... nose and the eyes...?

No, no, it's not coming.

I'm not sure why you don't remember. I guess it's one of those crazy Sphere things.

Right, right. Try not to hurt yourself.

[The handwriting looks like Gene's, save for the fact that there is a decidedly left-handed slant to it.]

She-boss? Do you mean that you've turned into--[wait, Kazahana might be higher up than Genius on the medical totem pole, but no one would mistake her for an 'old lady'. Time to redirect the question.]

You mean that you recognize who you look like?

[cruella_dewitt]

[The same for Genius--same handwriting but with a right hand slant and a bit of a wobbly start. It's hard to get used to smaller hands]

Not a girl Boss! My other life, pre tree, before the mind wipe boss!! Catherine! I met her around the time when we were stuck with all those doubles. She thought I was Topher--the other version of me. Except I think I have less gray hair and wrinkle and other details you don't need, name-twin!!

[Long story short Adelle lied to Genius and said her name is Catherine. lolz]

[live_ringer]

A girl version of Boss is more disturbing than I care to think about.

So... basically, you've seen your old boss naked in the shower by now? Sounds awkward.

[Aha, yes, I remember reading a bit of that.]

why gene you're so handsome

[cruella_dewitt]

You brought it up!

...

NO I HAVEN'T!

I haven't removed ONE article of clothing! Are you insane! She'd kill me!!

The facial scar makes him distinguished or something.

[live_ringer]

Actually, no. I wasn't thinking female-Boss, I was thinking one of your female superiors at Wellspring. So that one's your fault.

So you're going to let her body get rank while you're in possession of it?

Very devil may care

[cruella_dewitt]

One of my--gross! No that's not my fault that's your overactive imagination's fault.

I--no! I can shower with my clothes on!

[there's some logic fail here. Lets see if anyone notices...]
