((Conan's trying to persuade Ran/Tifa to come back to their apartment in a thread in his post -- there's the possibility of an action thread there if you want it as Tifa-Ran will be waking up in the apartment! Just fyi!))
People are waking up, finding themselves in the body of their friend, someone they don't know at all ... It seems like it's got the majority of the city.
People are... [Everyone was... This was happening to everyone. Not just... Then... Something that the Temper and that other guy... Her brow- his brow furrowed although it couldn't be seen- as was the anxiety that gave just slightly as this revelation hit.]
So then... That means... [Relief seemed to slowly find its way in her words... Maybe a strange tone to hold considering how much of a mess the situation was. But... Sora. He was alright then.]

[Xion hadn't been the only one having a really strange morning. Sora had barely paid attention to his surroundings in his half-awake state, though he had wondered who had somehow put the bathroom in a different spot, or why everything looked larger somehow.
It was when he looked in the mirror that his eyes widened.] No way--!!
[And he clutched his throat, his eyes still wide and locked on the mirror.] But--how-- and why do I sound like--?!
[That was his reflection all right, but... ... younger. How he'd before he went to sleep. And his voice-- Sora stumbled back and hit the rim of the tub, falling backwards and conveniently activating Xion's watch and triggering the audio mode.] Ow!
[Audio] Well, hey there, switch!bro~ Looks like we be having the same fail this mornin'~seasaltbluesJanuary 27 2011, 02:35:08 UTC
[Well... 'Ow' hadn't exactly been the response she was looking for. More so... some sort of hint of something... Anything to tell her she was wrong. That this wasn't...
Wait. Was that...?]
Kairi...? [Her voice- his voice -came out kind of raw and uneasy. Because... sweet Kingdom Hearts, if Kairi found out. If Kairi knew what she might have done... And it would be just her luck that she would be the one to get a hold of her so quickly.
[Audio -> Video] It's what I do best, switch!sis @_@toyswordJanuary 27 2011, 02:43:41 UTC
Oh... my head... [Huh, what--wait, that was his voice. His voice was talking to him.] What in the world...?
[ ... the watch, the watch must be somewhere. Where's the watch, where--ah-hah, there in the tub!] No, I'm not-- I don't know how I sound like her, but--
[And he's opening the lid on the watch, switching over to video with a simple click.] --I'm Sora!
[Audio] Apparently so, switch!bro. That's okay though. We can be fail!durps together~seasaltbluesJanuary 27 2011, 03:03:35 UTC
[What in the world... That was one way to describe things. One of many ways as she heard her fumble about- and when she finally responded- She... She wasn't? But that didn't make any-
And then the video flicked on and-
'I'm Sora!'
And there. There he was. But... But how? How could two people- It didn't make- ...And that was when she shortly realized that. That hadn't been Kairi's voice she had been hearing. It had taken her a moment with how much more confident the tone had come out. So much stronger and bolder, but... That. That was her voice. Which meant...
Then he was... Then, she really hadn't... But then why... Why did he still look like...
No. There was something-
He looked younger. Like- Touching her forehead lightly, Sora could probably hear a short grunt... and then silence. A really long silence. But then...]
[Ugh... now he was hearing things. Ila tried to bury himself in his blankets, but when he heard the loud yelp and the crash, he couldn't ignore it anymore. What was Sora doing in his aparment?
Sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, and-- ... ... this isn't his apartment. Okay, think later--follow the sound of Sora flailing--
[Not?bro, don't you be facepalming at her. Er, him.
In all seriousness, 'Sora' was in the middle of trying to just... get a hold of herself. Her arm felt like it was most likely going to be bruised later from the way she had knocked it up against something- she didn't know what- but it hurt. Although it had been that action that had saved her from banging her head and cracking it open against the tub. She was now partly dangling from a half-demolished shower curtain, eyes huge. It honestly probably would have looked pretty comedic if he didn't appear to be so... scared out of her wits.
More so when she saw him step in.]
R-Riku... [His voice was surprisingly soft spoken and laced with plenty of guilt and then some. For the moment, she didn't attempt to move from the position she had gotten herself into. Partly because she was just feeling that... frozen with that sick-to-her-stomach feeling the moment she saw him. And... partly because she had kind of attempted to a second before he arrived and almost fallen anyway.]
[Ila couldn't help himself--he flinched and groaned a little. He could've sworn that he had explained this to Sora the first time they had met.] Close enough.
[Well. If this was Sora's place, then he supposed that it would be easier to make that mistake. Riku lived here too, or that's what he thought--why hadn't the sound of Sora being a klutz woken him up?
Well, Sora wasn't going to get out of that mess on his own--and, to be honest, it was kind of funny. Without him even realizing it, a small, sort of playful smirk found it's way onto his face.] Man, Sora--I knew you were a klutz, but this is ridiculous.
[He's chuckling a little, even as he walks up and extends a hand to 'Sora' to help him up.]
[Xion's mind swirled in a whirlwind of confusion. Close enough? ...I-Ila! But why would he be there? She was so caught up just trying to make sense of things that she didn't realize he was approaching her until his voice broke through the air once more and he was... laughing just a little. Taking a light jab at her. It was... really weird. Considering their interactions in the city were usually mellow, easy-going, but then.
Sora.
So, what she had seen in the mirror... It really... Without a doubt... She couldn't help the way her hand gripped the curtain impossibly tighter for just a moment. And then she caught sight of that hand and... just looked at it a moment. Just a pause though before she struggled to take it and slowly, carefully, she was climbing out of that uncomfortable hanging position. Her voice... or rather, his, came out small. Feeling like the worst person in the world.] T-Thanks... ['Sora' wouldn't look at him.]
[Hope's trying to keep on top of things this time around since he's not directly affected, so have him replying - even if he doesn't realize who it really is.]
Y-You're not alone! If you woke up in a different body, a-anyway...
Y-Yeah... That's what... That's what Conan was telling me. People... have somehow been switched.
[There was a moment of baited breath as she debated what more to say. She really... honestly... She knew Hope so little. But he had gone looking for Naoki with her that one time. But... Mm... What if this wasn't Hope?]
But... you're okay at least? You... You didn't get switched then, too, did you?
There's only a few people who can do that, two of them aren't like by anyone here. [ He exhales and lowers his gaze for a moment - the voice is familiar, but since there's no name he's treading a little lightly with this one.]
Oh, n-no. I was one of the people who didn't get switches; I'm fine, just confused with everyone now. W-Who is this, anyway?
[Two of them could- Wait, what? But... Oh, that confused her. And she wanted to pursue it, but then. That question. It... froze all train of thought for a moment. If she told him, then if he saw Sora, then-!
She couldn't hide the slight shake to her voice, or rather his, as she spoke up quite suddenly.] -S-Sorry, Hope- I have to-
[Have to. Couldn't. Didn't want him to- but hiding things from people in the city- it hurt, too. But this was...]
I see... That's- That's good, at least. [Awkward... So awkward. She really hoped this wouldn't last long- that there was a way to switch everyone back and fast if her tone- his tone was any implication.]
