Stay calm?! Eva blinks, listening carefully to Michiko’s mother (Melody Miro ). It seems she wasn’t the only one experiencing this strange event. There’s a comfort in that, but she’s still freaked the F out.

Alexei’s body doesn’t immediately respond when Zac Ramsay (as samuel carter ) calls out to him. Her periphery catches the final tumble of the acrobatic move. The eye contact makes it obvious he’s talking to him, “Oh? Me? Uhh yeah, nice job,” she miles awkwardly, giving a thumbs up with her god hand.

Eva feels the opposite of her normal self. She’s aching, stiff, heavy. Overall, she feels like shit, what the hell happened to this poor man? Naturally, she gravitates towards Melody Miro in the mother’s body. She seems to now what’s going on. Eva is nervous to push this body too far. As a doctor she understands the importance of rest. Placing chairs by himself was a terrible idea, “Uhhhh I’ll help with that,” she offers, hobbling over to help complete the playlist for the wedding and reception.

Chu-e had TOTALLY been very busy hiding this entire time and not just sitting around in there to get out of doing any extra work.

The commotion in the dining room drew him out. Everyone looked... normal, if confused and talking weird. Chu-e had been so busy flaming Zac Ramsay haters on Timburlr totally doing hard work, he was completely oblivious to why everyone was suddenly gathering to eat.

"Did the wedding happen? I wanted to catch the bouquet." He sounded almost forlorn, but at least he moved to help avery jones (actually michiko maeda...) get stuff out and ready to serve.

"Actually, wait, I thought I saw a ring in the Magikarp pond. You can't get married without a ring." Duh.

He had saw one of the Magikarp with a binky in it's mouth, the ring hanging off the grasper like someone had put it there on purpose.

Mysteries upon mysteries.

Eva overhears something about eating and maybe changing back? This all wouldn’t be so unpleasant if she didn’t hurt everywhere. The body of Alexei jumps on the opportunity. Since she had finished helping Melody Miro with the playlist, she politely excuses herself and wobbles to the kitchen.

Eva is a vegetarian, so as long as she’s in Alexei’s body, he will be too. The doctor is also known to have quite the sweet tooth. Naturally, she gravitates toward the STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE, collecting a pre-sliced piece the best she can with one good hand.

“Sure you didn’t leave it in the kitchen?” she’s referring to the rings. Alexei takes a few savory bites of pie before turning to inspect the kitchen counters. People left rings in the kitchen all the time, especially by the sink!

The world swam. In the middle of a sword fight, the last thing he needed was a sudden bout of migraine, but unfortunately, convenience was not on his side.

His eyes inevitably drifted close, and soon, the man found himself collapsing butt first onto a wooden kitchen stool, pie in maw.

Wait, that doesn't make sense.

Eyes snapping wide, he flew off his seat as if burned.

Almost literally. His body felt light, all of a sudden. Nearly 100 pounds lighter, matter of fact!

Long, lanky legs wobbled and scrambled for balance as the man's arms pinwheeled, sending the piece of pie in his now loose grasp flying randomly across the room while he fell ass first to the floor.

"What is going on?" He asked, bewildered, as he stared at his brand new hands. His very tanned, very skinny, very scarred-in-the-wrong-ways hands.

This... was most definitely not his body. Which meant only one thing.

He had fallen unconscious and was now dreaming.

Wait, really?! The Dragon beat him? In a swordfight?!

"I... lost a match?" He muttered airily, his soul nearly abandoning his new body. His skills had rusted so far...?

Or the Dragon was a True Master beyond all others in the world.

No, no! There had to be a true explanation for all of this.

His attempts at excusing his terrible loss were interrupted by the voice of... someone he didn't know calling everyone to the kitchen table, promising everyone they would 'figure things out' and 'change back' in a most Michiko-ish of manners.

Oh hey, their bodies had swapped! That was a great excus- explanation!

Rising to his feet with surprising ease, he realized the body he was in was incredibly easy to move in-

If he could maintain his bloody balance.

Eventually, Gwyar managed to stumble his way into the kitchen, long legs swinging wildly as his arms scrambled for balance.

"Never in my life did I think I would be learning to walk again..."

An uncharacteristic welsh accent flowed out of Doug Sullivan's lips as he finally collapsed onto a seat at the table, head dropping on his hand as he sighed in relief.

"... What are we doing, again?"

Ah, right. Testing for antidotes.

Looking over the broad selection, it wasn't long before he was found filling a plate with Spicy Marinated Pork and some Beef Kimchi Buns.

The new body looked like it needed the protein...

-eating Spicy Marinated Pork and Beef Kimchi Buns cause there's not enough protein on this tiny baby man body.
