Riff entered the room quietly as he did every morning; with a tea and breakfast laden tray. Though today it seemed that his master was already awake, and in some sort of distress. Riff set down the tray on a nearby nightstand and moved to stand by the bed.

"Is everything alright, lord Cain?" He asked gently, frowning at the figure that had buried itself deep in the pillows. This was rather uncharacteristic of Cain, especially the strange noises.

[soscaptain]

Haruhi stopped moving the moment she heard someone speak to her, still feeling a little frightened she slowly peaked out from under the blankets at the man. "What did..." there was gonna be more to the question, but if she heard correctly even her voice sounded strange.

Lord Cain? she wondered as she tried to run through all the information she had gotten in the last few seconds. Boy's body, boy's voice, boy's name, and not even in my own bedroom. What's going on? If she had not been so confused she would be extremely excited.

[tea_is_served]

The tall man looked down at him with concern in his eyes and began running through explanations in his mind. Has Cain had a particularly jarring dream? A fever? Perhaps he just needed some time.

After a few moments of silent contemplation he moved to where he had set down the tea, poured a cup, and offered it to the young man.

[soscaptain]

Haruhi kept her mouth sealed as she looked up at the man, carefully tightening the sheets around her chest, even though she had no cleavage to hide. Slowly she sat up, realizing she was a bit taller as a boy, because of where she could see her feet sticking up under the blankets.

With slightly shaking hands she took the cup of tea that was offered to her and thought about what the other man looked like. The man seemed nice, if anything he was worried about her, and he called her Cain, so she was assuming that is who she must look like. How she had gotten to look like this Cain she could not figure out.

"Thank you." she whispered, sniffing the tea before she took a very small sip of it. Her eyes grew wide as she tasted it. "It's really good." she smiled up at him, feeling a little more comfortable. If it had been poisoned she expected it not to taste like this at all, not that she knew much about poisoning to begin with.

The way he was holding the sheets around himself, and the way he had smelled the tea before drinking it were incredibly uncharacteristic of the Earl that Riff knew. Cain would never, for a even a second be suspicious of his butler's tea, or be embarrassed or ashamed of his body around him.

Despite the wonderfully innocent smile on the young man's face, Riff only became more worried for him. Quickly he unbuttoned the cuff of his sleeve and leaned in to press his wrist to the boy's forehead. He didn't feel feverish, and that was one explanation that had gone to no use.

"What... what exactly is going on here?" he ventured to ask in honest confusion.

[soscaptain]

"How should I know?" she asked back, trying to dodge the wrist that was pressed to her forehead. She pouted as she looked up at him. "I'm not sick, at least I don't think I am." she huffed in disapproval and gulped down the rest of the tea, before handing back the saucer and cup.

[tea_is_served]

"What I mean to say is, you're not... yourself," he replied with a deep frown, his brows knit together in concern.

Though he still moved to take the cup back when it was handed to him, he withheld the rest of the breakfast; intent on getting answers to this puzzle.

[soscaptain]

"Am I?" she looked up at him, okay, so he was worried, which meant he wasn't gonna hurt her, right. It wasn't like she had decided this was going to happen.

"I am myself, though maybe not the me you expect me to be." She frowned at her own word use, but all the same crossed her arms and sat up as straight as possible.

[tea_is_served]

"Well, who are you then?" he replied, while re-buttoning his cuff.
This was hardly making any sense and Cain... no... this person, wasn't of much help.

[soscaptain]

She sighed, and threw her arms in the air. "This place is insane." she started scratching her head in frustration only to find that her hair was a lot shorter than it should be as well.

"I'm Haruhi Suzumiya." she tried to get out of bed and stand, pulling one of the sheets along with her and still attempting to cover herself, or at least the only indecent parts required to be covered up for a boy. Unfortunately she tripped and fell out instead. A growl of frustration escaped her pissing her off even more. Not only did she sound funny, but she was now all tide up by the linen that had fallen off the bed with her. "Don't ask me how I got here cuz I don't know." she glared up at the man from the ground.

It was almost a relief to hear the name of this stranger. Though it wasn't one of his original explanations, 'vortexx is full of strange magic' seemed a very good reason for why he was standing in a room with Cain's body but not Cain's mind.

Riff extended a hand to help him... her... up. He wasn't familiar with foreign names, and this individual certainly did not act like the Victorian women he was used to; so who was to say what gender they were? Though, from how awkward this person seemed in Cain's body it might very well be female.

"It's a pleasure to meet you.... Miss Suzumiya," he said, hoping he wasn't wrong. "My name is Riff."

[soscaptain]

"Nice to meet you." she took his hand and tried to stand up. At least he didn't seem mad at her.

"Who do I look like?" she asked, as she straightened up and held a fist full of the sheets together at her waist making it look like an over elongated skirt. "You called me Cain earlier." she attempted to toss her hair, only to realize that it was too short for that to happen.

Riff move to retrieve some clothes for the girl to wear. He imagined she would eventually feel them in some way, but for Cain's sake he would try his best to keep the scars concealed from Haruhi.

"Cain is the young man I serve," he explained, while taking a shirt off a hanger. "Hold out your arms?"

[soscaptain]

"What are ya gonna dress me to?" she sighed "Either he's slow, or you're an awesome server." she mumbled as she dropped her hold on the blankets and they fell at her feet. She held out her arms and waited. Boy clothes were not exactly her thing, so she was gonna accept the help. "Now what?"

Modesty flew out the window again, like back at school. So what if you see me naked, it's just a body, true not mine, but oh well.

[tea_is_served]

Riff fought back the urge to bring his hand to his face and sigh, this girl certainly was.... something. Fortunately, he was as comfortable with Cain's naked form as she suddenly was

[soscaptain]

Ew, pants, Haruhi thought as she slipped them on. She rarely ever wore them, they felt restricting. "Hm, well I just woke up in this place a few days ago, so I'm staying at the main hotel." she tapped her pointer finger to her chin.

"This is interesting, I wonder who did this to us." she looked at Riff with calculating eyes "Cuz only some of us were affected...sounds like a mystery to me." Her tone grew excited as she spoke, and her eyes showed with determination. "We should totally go look for Cain!" her hand shot out and grabbed Riff's wrist and started attempting to drag him out the door.
