8||||||||| [ video / action ]

[endofastory]

[ Auron wakes up and immediately reaches for his sword, able to tell that something's wrong even when mostly asleep but it's not there. He's not there. And he's...

Oh Fayth.

Accidentally knocking over the sphere, not used to moving in a energetic teenage girl's body but definitely awake now, Auron doesn't notice that it turns on. ]

Wake up.

[She wakes up because she hears her own voice - weird - tell her to wake up. She reaches out blindly for her sphere but doesn't find it on the nightstand, where it should be. She feels heavy and weird and one of her eyes is apparently swollen shut and...]

What are-

[The voice coming out of her is raspy and not familiar, but she's still mostly asleep so she doesn't notice it like she should. She finds the sphere, finally, and looks at it blearily out of the only eye that's working right.]

I don't remember recording--

[She looks down at herself. Cue shrieking at the highest pitch Auron's voice box is capable of as shehe drops the sphere on the floor.]

[endofastory]

[ He stiffens at the shriek and slowly turns to look at the screen. That's... him. Or, his body, at least. ]

Rikku?

[ ... He really hopes that's Rikku. For now, at least. ]

[mixinvixen]

[There is some thumping, like someone with no depth perception is trying to get to a mirror, then another shriek. It takes awhile for her to get back to the sphere, and when she picks it up, she is rubbing her arm like she bumped it against something. There is probably some hysteria in her voice.]

Well I used to be!

[endofastory]

Well. At least I know who is... me.

[ He rubs his forehead before deciding it might be a good idea to calm her down. ]

Breathe deeply.

[sandinmyboots]

Rikku!

[Don't mind the panic and the tears and blood on Namine's cheeks. Kefka will worry about those later.]

[video]

[endofastory]

I'm not Rikku.

[ He's definitely noticed, and it shows in a widening of Rikku's eyes but little else. ]

... Are you all right?

[video]

[sandinmyboots]

I'm not alright! Do I look alright?! It's all wrong--

[and the safest thing in this situation is to get angry and even though Kefka's emotions feel blunted and his mind is light, he can still manage a snarl]

Where is she?! You--you--you did this--

[video]

[endofastory]

No. You don't.

[ Have Rikku's version of an Auron ">8|" face. ]

I woke up like this.

[Action] Third time's the charm? *shoots self in foot*

[frozen_pride]

[Vexen is apparently a light sleeper, because he starts to wake up rather quickly.]

[groggily]Who in their right mind would--

[Wait. That's not his voice. At all. So sitting up right away, and tensed body language. This isn't his room, and he certainly doesn't recall having a room-mate!]

What is this--what's going on here?! [Angry!Surprised!Vexen is angry and surprised--wait.]

[Shock is registering on Yuna's face. Give Vexen a moment, Auron. He She suddenly has a Heart.]

[ action ] <3

[endofastory]

I have no idea.

[ Auron watches for a moment, focusing on Yuna's face -- or 'whoever is in Yuna's body's face'. Or...

... This must be what Tidus feels like. ]

But I'm not Rikku. And from the sound of things, you're not Yuna.

[Action]

[frozen_pride]

[Vexen shakes his head, the shock still on that face that isn't his.] No, I'm not--my name is Vexen.

[Rikku, Yuna... those are names he is not familiar with. The shock is slowly ebbing away, leaving one confused scientist.]

If you aren't this... Rikku person, then who exactly are you? [Just calm down, Vexen--try to figure this out.]

[Action]

[endofastory]

[ It's not a familiar name, but even if it was, it wouldn't do him much good. Auron nods, and the solemn gesture just looks bizarre when done with Rikku. ]

My name is Auron.

[ He shifts, trying to adapt to having two working eyes again, and shakes his head. ]
