Two; [accidental voice/action]

[targetprime]

[A familiar voice most of you probably know drifts through the journals, albeit it's softer in tone and probably sounding rather out-of-breath and troubled.]

...This cannot be good.

["Vyse" is probably wandering through the village right about now, looking uncharacteristically serious and confused as all hell. He's probably guessed it's one of those

Comments

[action]

[slaying]

[Buffy, who looks rather a lot like someone you may know, wanders into sight. The petite blonde seems to be having a heated exchange with Cupil, whom she is routinely referring to as a silver bubble.]

[action]

[targetprime]

[Well that's kinda weird. He's never seen you argue with Cupil before. Instinctively, he approaches what he believes to be old friend.]

Is something amiss, Fi-

[...Wait. If he looks like that air pirate guy, maybe this is someone else.]

...Er. I apologize for asking this, but are you really Fina...?

[action]

[slaying]

Really kinda not.

[She blinks and forces Fina's mouth to contort into a snarky shape that Buffy suspects has never appeared before on this face.]

[action]

[targetprime]

[...What the hell is that expression, not!Fina.]

Yes...I didn't think so. You were acting rather oddly.

["Vyse" turns for a moment, apparently lost in thought. This is troublesome.]

[action]

[slaying]

You'd be acting oddly, too. Y'know...if all of a sudden you were someone else. A someone else with a silver balloon pet that--cute as it is--keeps trying to tug you someplace else and oh, yeah? The complete whole normal strength thing? Not a bonus.

[Babble, much?]

[action]

[targetprime]

[Babble all you want, he's probably too flustered to care. Not that he'd stop you anyway.]

Well, I'm afraid I cannot say I know what the last two are like, but I can assure you this is not my normal appearance. And yes, it is quite disconcerting.

[action]

[slaying]

They got you, too?

[action]

[targetprime]

I'm afraid so, madam. Though it doesn't seem to be something unique to the two of us.

[action]

[slaying]

No. There are plenty of confused looking folks, around.

[action]

[targetprime]

I suppose we should be thankful that this is a fairly harmless experiment, all things considered. If a bit disorienting. Though if you look like Fina, I wonder...

[Hrm.]

[action]

[slaying]

[Her--well, Fina's--eyes narrow.] Wonder what?

[action]

[targetprime]

[Hey man, no need to get so suspicious]

Hm? I was merely wondering if she would be all right. I doubt I would recognize her in this confusion, considering you have taken on her appearance.

[action]

[slaying]

Truthfully? She won't look oodles of different. Shortish, blonde. And don't worry--if this is indeed an exchange sort of thing? She's probably gonna be more alright than any of us here.

[Big ego? Yessir.]

[action]

[targetprime]

[And he will totally believe your big ego thar.]

I am glad to hear that, at least. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for someone who fits that description.

Signs point to an exchange of bodies. The man I appear to be now currently looks as I normally do.

[action]

[slaying]

Well--[she muses]--at least Fina's a touch nicer than the last person who took my body for a spin.

[action]

[targetprime]

[...Buh?]

Is this sort of thing common where you are from, miss?
