#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...

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.

[He says 'What the fuck' out loud]

... Oh hell, you mean it changed our voices too? I think I heard this before and now it's going to drive me nuts where.

[live_ringer]

It has, and then some. Not only has my voice changed, I've noticed that I take on a different accent if I'm not paying attention.

And heard of what before? Changing into something else is pretty common, but your case is... pretty unique.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

No no I mean the voice. I feel like I've heard it before.

[live_ringer]

That so? You'd be the second one I've heard of that finds their current form familiar. Genius said he'd met the woman his body looks like before.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

I mean recently, even. This is going to bug me.

[live_ringer]

Huh. Well, maybe you'll luck out and figure it out before this thing is over.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah it'd be nice to know what kind of a connection I have to this... person.

[goddamn-batkain.livejournal.com]

I'll add to the list: My current form is known to me, name and all.

[live_ringer]

Hm. That would be enough to qualify as a pattern. I wonder how pervasive it is.

[goddamn-batkain.livejournal.com]

I know Reed knows the original owner of his current body as well.

[live_ringer]

We've got four, then. Meanwhile, look like someone I don't recognize at all.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

... Huh. And apparently this happened in the past - wonder how many people knew their uh... new bodies back then too?
