Abby had been a guy for about a day now. Well, she'd been a guy before, but before she'd actually been in her own body, just with different equipment. This? Was definitely not her body. She'd realized that about the time she'd woken up in a hut by a stream when she distinctly recalled going to sleep curled up against Tim in a way that probably

"dEE-EE-ELL-eYe-argh-Eye-yOU-Em. DeE-EEE-ELL-EYe-ARGH-hi Not bROthER." Delirium said walking into the lab. She was trying to memorize her name, she kept forgetting it but she remembered she had to see Abby (Ay-Bee-Bee-WHy) and then she had to see Rob (aRGH-oH-Bee). So she had gone to the lab expecting to see Abby but had found one of her not brothers. Not Bill, wrong hair but the other one who lived on the island. "yOU'Re in THe wROng PLACE, aBBY is suPPOsed to bE heRe nOT YOU. uNLESS yoU'Re not noT-bROther and aRE SOMeonE ELse instead. thEN hi oTHer person PRetending to be nOT Brother."

"Abby is here," she replied. "Well, Abby's consciousness is here, anyway. Her body is I don't know where, but I'm sure it's somewhere, because everything is somewhere and something is everywhere."

There went the Zen. This person sort of thought Del was strange but interesting, which was pretty much the standard reaction to Delirium.

"oH hi ABigaiL, yEAH THey're trickY Like that. i uSED TO HAVe to pUT a LeasH on miNE OR...thAT couLD have bEEN A DOggiE." Delirium said giggling at Abby's zen. Or Charlie's zen filtered via Abby but exiting Charlie's mouth. At least this month she got to keep her insanity. "buT noThing is nOWherE AND evERYWhERe aLL at ONcE. His fACe mAKes me sad sometimES, i waNT ABby BODy back. it HAS CURVes and smiLES AND HaiR AND tatToos. i Like abBY body."

"Can you put a leash on something insubstantial? Can you define something indefinable?" she asked rhetorically. Maybe if she tilted her head to the side and shook it the Zen proverbs would fall out or something.

"And I would like my body back too, eventually, although this one's not bad. It has an addiction to fruit and doesn't like coffee nearly as much as I do, but it's not bad."

Olive stopped in front of the compound, watching the body of the man who was merely a friend (or so she told herself - sometimes quite frequently) walk toward her. "Still not Charlie?" she asked, only a hint of worry in her voice. "Or are you again? Charlie? Are you in there?"

[zenish_moment]

She felt distinctly warm and fuzzy towards this woman despite the fact that she'd never met her (although she thought she'd seen her in the kitchen). Huh. This was actually kind of useful, like being psychic but not, a reflection but not. The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

Right. More Zen.

"No, sorry," she replied truly apologetically. "I'm supposed to be Abby Sciuto, and I think I've seen you around. In the kitchen, maybe?"

[abandonedpie]

No, not Charlie, Olived sighed slightly, her shoulders slumping forward. "Abby?" She didn't recognise the name, but that wasn't entirely unusual. "I'm Olive," she said, holding out her hand, not thinking how it was strange to shake hands with Abby-in-Charlie. "I waitress on Saturdays. That's probably where."

[zenish_moment]

"Right, yeah, that's it," she agreed, snapping her fingers in a way that she never did and smiling down at the tiny blonde before they shook hands. The body held the hand a little longer than it had to, which was interesting.

"It's nice to meet you, even if you already know me, or at least know the Charlie suit I'm apparently borrowing."

Tim kept checking the lab. The problem was that he didn't see anyone that wasn't supposed to be there. Finally, he ran back to grab his laptop and set up shop in the lab, waiting for Abby to come in. He quickly got lost in programming, but not so lost that his head didn't pop up the moment someone unfamiliar showed up in the lab.

"Hi, can I help you?"

[zenish_moment]

"Not unless you've seen where a kind of tall, sort of weird looking goth body is so I can get it back," she replied a little goofily. Part of her wanted to hug Tim, and she wasn't really sure which part of her it was. Maybe both. The guy liked hugs. She knew Tim didn't like random hugs, though, so she refrained for the moment.

"The body is a vessel for the universe's consciousness and thus the individual elements are unimportant...but I prefer the vessel I originally came with."

Tim blinked. A lot. He wasn't sure whether he was blinking over Abby in a male body or over what she'd said. "Abs, is that...you in there?" A part of him relaxed and he smiled at her. "Thank god. I was worried. I woke up next to...well, you. But it wasn't you. It was this woman, Teyla. And she couldn't walk in your shoes and it was all just incredibly awkward."

And Abby was safe. In a male body.

[zenish_moment]

She considered the idea of waking up next to a strange woman, which would be a little awkward for both Abby and her current body, but not so awkward as it was for Tim. And the idea waking up next to Tim in the state she knew she'd gone to sleep (i.e. sort of clothed) caused a very interesting reaction. Okay, no with the physicalness and males, apparently. Except hugs. Hugs were okay. Anything further sort of gave her the heebie-jeebies even in concept.

"It's me. Apparently the island decided I should be a redhead for a little while. And also male. And I keep spouting zen proverbs, which is a little strange, but there is nothing strange, only strange perceptions."
