Opposite sides of the spectrum (Dual pup post, tag Aphrodite and Kamekona when home)

[luvlianjel_yuri]

Yuri was out enjoying the summer day. It was too early for there to be any appointments at the Arsenal and she was (mostly) window shopping while rocking one of her Betsey Johnson dresses from a previous shopping trip. All of a sudden she felt a bit... woogy

Kamekona was not yet aware that someone else had his body. He was, however, aware he was not himself. It was hard not to realize you weren't so big. Plus, things definitely seemed taller. He was going to think maybe all that working out was paying off, but a look in a shop window made him realize otherwise.

"Aznuts! Look at me. I'm one of Max's characters on that Warcraft game!"

[annatar_s]

The words were strange, but Annatar did recognize his own voice saying them. He turned, then stumbled. No swift movement in this body.

"What have you done to me!" he demanded angrily.

[shrimp_truck]

Kamekona turned around and a look of surprise and fascination spread over his new face. He even pointed. "That's me!" He paused, then brow furrowed. "Why am I over there?"

[annatar_s]

"You're in my body and I'm in yours." And not happy about it. "I'm human now."

He considered.

"You are human, correct?" Most in the village were.

[shrimp_truck]

"I'm Hawaiian, brah." He nodded, proud. So, yes, but Kamekona needed to make the distinction. "But I got no idea what you are."

Tall, though. He turned back to the window and poked the point of his ear with his index finger. Pointy.

[annatar_s]

Annatar had never heard of a Hawaiian before. They were most likely mortal, though.

"I'm an Elf, one of the first-born of Middle-earth. My body is immortal, so don't harm it. I'll have to live with it for a very long time." He was assuming that he'd get it back. He'd better. "Don't even think of cutting my hair."

He was far too upset. He'd be getting his body back.

"What are Hawaiians like?" He should know.

[shrimp_truck]

"An Elf. Definitely something like in Max's game." He nodded mostly to himself. He wondered if he had magical powers. He didn't feel like he had magical powers, but maybe they were so innate. Hmmm..

"Hawaiians are the best. Rich history, great in the water, and very good looking." Like himself.

[annatar_s]

Annatar did not care about Max or games.

"Your history will not help me here," he said. As for good looking, that was a matter of opinion. The Elves were the fairest of the races.

"Great at what in the water?" That could be useful.

[shrimp_truck]

"Everything, Brah. Swimming, surfing, fishing. We live in the water." Not really, it was an expression.

Kamekona couldn't help noticing this guy was kind of uptight, though.

[annatar_s]

"I do not need to do any of those things." It was not useful after all.

"What work do you have in the village? I do not wish to have to do it. I'm sure I won't be able to do my own." This body would not have the skills, the eyesight, the Power... "Before you ask, I am a jewelsmith."

[shrimp_truck]

"Jewelsmith." That sounded kind of boring although you got to work with jems like diamonds and things so that was cool. Hmm...

"I run the shrimp truck here. Best shrimp in all the village. Also shave ice. Good on a hot day like this one's gonna be." He smiled proudly.

[annatar_s]

He'd seen the truck, and smelled food.

"You make shrimp in a truck?" Not a kitchen.

"Is shave ice like a snow cone? I had one of those with Draco." It was quite enjoyable, actually.

[shrimp_truck]

Everybody made shrimp on a truck in Hawaii. Well, not 'everyone', but it was definitely a thing.

"It's better. Shave ice is made by shaving ice so it's smoother and holds the flavour better. Plus I make my flavouring with real fruit juice mixed with syrup so it's better than just the sugar stuff."

[annatar_s]

"Why haven't I heard of this before?" It sounded worth his time and effort, even if he didn't get hot. "I want to try it. Is that in a truck, too?"

The same truck?

[shrimp_truck]

"Nah. Different. One's a truck. One's more like a cart. Can't have both together. Shrimps too hot. Would melt the ice. Bad for business." He shook his head.

[annatar_s]

Annatar had finally found something interesting and was denied it. This made him scowl. He wanted to order the Hawaiian to take him there but he, only sort of, needed him.

"Can we go there?" he asked. "If yours is the best, then I should try yours."

Not that there was anywhere else in the village to have it, but flattery often worked.
