Spencer stood in the office that Brennan had allowed him at the Jeffersonian, staring at a white board covered in writing. On the right side were the names of the most recent newcomers: Paul Smecker, Michael Westen, Sam Axe, Sookie Stackhouse, Buffy Summers (with an asterisk next to both of those names), Katherine Pierce, Elisa Maza. On the left ( Read more... )

The first rays of dawn, however false, lighten the horizon. A perhaps unlikely figure approaches a stream in Osten Forest, stepping lightly over fallen logs. He looks a little like a blue centaur, except he has two extra eyes mounted on stalks atop his head, three slits instead of a nose, no mouth, long pointed ears, delicate arms with too many ( Read more... )

Kate had been pacing in her room since she recovered from the glitch, trying to determine how to best address the situation. She was pretty mortified by her actions, especially with her "family." She wasn't sure how to act around Reid at all, not to mention the way she'd completely mothered River and Ax. Finally, Kate turned on the tablet, then ( Read more... )

After spending a week in a female body, Spencer had been thrilled to finally wake up as himself again. He was all out of sorts yesterday. He tried to read and work on running his stats of arrivals and departures, but he couldn't concentrate. Around 9 o'clock, he fell into bed ( Read more... )

Glitch's plan had been to ease down from the floating position he'd woken up in. Nice, gentle, simple landing with all sorts of (new weird girly Kara-like oh gods) body parts on the floor where it was safe and (relatively) normal ( Read more... )

It had been an hour since DG had woken up in Buffy's body and it still felt strange. She knew that her own body hadn't been perfect, but it had been hers. She missed her battered leather jacket. She missed her unruly hair. She definitely missed her magic. This was just another ridiculous hamster game and she couldn't wait for it to be over ( Read more... )

Martha's image appears on the screen. Her hair's down, and she's dressed in a nightie that may or may not seem a bit unusual for her, but at least it appears she has had the good sense to pop a lab coat on over it. For all the good that will do ( Read more... )

What's probably the most disorienting thing about getting body swapped is that Kara has been asleep when she was swapped. And the body she was into sleeps with one eye open, which makes the shift of senses enough to wake her up the moment her mind is swapped with Aximili's. Her (his?) eyes snap open, and she twists around in confusion, taking a few ( Read more... )

This has been a good week. Fred feels like she's managed quite a bit, although she's definitely made more progress on the Cookie side than on the Data Management side. But now comes the harder part for her, delivering all these rewards for filling out the survey --all right, so it wasn't that hard at all, really. She's looking forward to saying ( Read more... )

[There are a few sounds at first that suggest that this post isn't entirely intentional- things like something metallic striking something else, the occasional rush of air as something swings through it and displaces it. Eventually, though, a steely hiss registers softly as Corwin's sword meets its sheath and slides back into it before he ( Read more... )
