Adah's room, McTyeire Hall, Emory University; Atlanta, Georgia, 1963. Thursday.
It wasn't every morning that Adah woke up and found herself with a penis. As a matter of fact, she had never woken up as such and so it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine her surprise when she did. She would expect this sort of thing to happen at Fandom, but it was hardly on her list of possible things to broaden her Emory experience.
Just when you'd thought you'd slipped out of the path of the stalking jaguar, you realize it had been stalking behind you all along.
There was a sound of the doorknob turning, pre-empting the door opening and the perpetually startled blonde roommate poking her head in. Adah was surprisingly quick to pull the blankets over her head, her mind spinning over the fact that she not only had a penis, which should be impossible, but she was also still most certainly in a girl's only dormitory. And remembering that she had let her roommate talk her into breakfast with the other girls on their floor.
"Adah? You're still coming, right? You promised!"
Actually, no, she hadn't, but Adah had come to expect such exaggerations to spew from the mouth of the perpetually started roommate. Imagining that Adah had a voice to match her new genitalia, she coughed a few times before stating, "Negative."
"What? But!"
"Can't you tell I have acute viral nasopharyngitis. Very infectious. I owe you another time."
"Acute viral naso--"
"--pharyngitis. Yes."
"That sounds awful, Adah!"
"It is."
"Oh."
Actually, it was the common cold, but that was the benefit of having a dimwit for a roommate. Convinced by this argument, she left for breakfast and Adah finally felt she had the opportunity to stumble out of her bed. She considered, briefly, and for purely scientific purposes (especially the how), of course, exploring this new body she seemed to inhabit, but then she pondered as to whether or not that could technically be counted as cheating, and so she dutifully abstained. It did get her wondering, though. Was the same thing happening on the island and this was just some sort of...astroplanal time continuum effervescent leakage?
Clothing was a problem, but not one Adah was going to worry about right away. She just decided to get something to drink and have a seat on the chair, pondering the technicalities of the whole situation and wondering if a few phone calls were in order.
This, of course, left quite a sight for the roommate. Just when Adah didn't imagine she could look any more startled...
"Ohmygod!" She jumped about a foot in the air and quickly covered her eyes. "Who are-- What are you-- This is a girl's dormitory!"
Adah regarded the roommate coolly as she sipped. "Adah said you wouldn't be back for a while."
"Ade? But she-- Acute viral naso--"
"What? Is that some sort of illness? She seemed perfectly healthy just about an hour ago, when she called me, told me you were gone, so I could..." Adah let a smirk slip through.
"No! She couldn't! She wouldn't! She told me she has a boyfriend!"
"Oh." Adah furrowed her brow. And took another sip. "That could be problematic. That might explain why she took my clothes, though."
"How does that explain anything?"
"Do you know your roommate? She's a little off."
This seemed to only serve to confuse the roommate. Adah sent her a slight grin. "Be a peach, won't you? Go find me some clothes, and then I can get out of here, and you won't have to worry about it, okay? It'll be just our little secret."
The perpetually startled roommate was too startled to do anything but nod, cast a glance down below Adah's waist (it hung slightly to the left; no surprise there), and then turn to rush off in a flurry of blushing. Adah just took another sip of water.
Oh, this was going to be one hell of an interesting day.
[[ Cut because, God, she is so tl;dr. so going to bed soon, but I had to post it before it left my brain. OOC always welcome, and interaction, should it be possible, is definitely awesomesauce]]
