#39 - Plus without the minus

[inthecenterfold]

Okay, I get it. The sphere gets its jollies off by watching a bunch of guys flail around because we've got new parts to deal with. So why the hell didn't it go all the way with mine? This is part of the punishment isn't it?

... Sorry for whatever you saw, bro. Hope the scarring's not permanent.

I'm uh... gonna try to see if I can go to work today... if any of my clothes fit... how the fuck do you even walk like this...

"New parts"?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah - a brand new pair up top. Which wouldn't be so bad if, you know, I didn't wield a damn chain.

[forgottenbaika.livejournal.com]

Ah. [ Yeah, she understands you with that part. ] It isn’t to bad, right?

[The handwriting is Gene's usual, save for a pronounced left-handed slant.]

...What do you mean "didn't go all the way"?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

I got the plus without the minus, dude.

[live_ringer]

That's--!

That the Tree would warp the path of your fate to this extent is unacceptable!

[He blinks at the sentence he just wrote. That's... not right. After a minute of staring, he crosses it out.]

Ah, what I mean to say is, that's pretty damned messed up.

[sting-to-death.livejournal.com]

It is not necessary to talk about such details over the journals.

Can you work or not?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

It's necessary to alert my friends I don't look the same - like everyone else. I think I was pretty damn tactful about it.

... As soon as I get clothes that fit, yes, I'm going to work. I'll... figure something out.

[sting-to-death.livejournal.com]

Not so much.

Very well.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

What happened? You sound like something is, well, a little off. Even for the Sphere.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah I... don't know if this has happened to anybody before. I mean I guess if it did, chances are nobody would want to talk about it. I'm just pissed off right now and had to vent.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

That's understandable, I think. Everyone seems out of sorts this morning--and I suppose I mean it literally! What is it about us not staying in our own bodies this month?

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to ask do I?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Probably not. It's up there with "weirdest shit the Tree has ever pulled."

not body switched but i still have the icon

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Weirder than the time I had pointy cones for breasts?

[stonewave.livejournal.com]

[There's a few dots on the page like he wants to start a reply, really, but he's not sure what's a safe start.]

...

What?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

... What did you think you saw this morning?

[stonewave.livejournal.com]

Those weren't there yesterday.

Amurui

[nanananabatgirl.livejournal.com]

Okay?

Pfft

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not physically ill if that's what you mean, bro.

[nanananabatgirl.livejournal.com]

Okay.

you knew it was coming. X3

[books-and-toads.livejournal.com]

[good thing you can't see Book's face right now, Smoke. Utter. Glee.]

Are you implying that while you gained new parts, you still have some of the old ones? Interesting. Should I be calling you Miss now?

Yes, yes I did.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Didn't really imply it very well, according to some. And no that won't be necessary.*

[[Translation for: enryou-shitokimasu (nearly positive on the spelling there)]]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Punishment, Smoke?

[He's far too polite to as much as poke the 'new parts' bit with a long stick.]

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it's been hard for everyone to believe that my only punishment for returning with memories intact was just lost time. (Nevermind how much it totally sucks.) So I'm starting to wonder if being stuck as not-myself for this long is a part of the punishment I skipped out on.
