16th Elevator-Action/Voice (Loss start)
[ So Gary for some reason or another decided that a nap in one of the nice comfy chairs in the lobby would do him some good. He's not one hundred percent sure why...that's something old guys do. He's not old damnit!
But when he comes to he notices that something is different...his flabby build is gone for one thing.
He opens one eye gingerly and looks down.]
Uh oh...that can't be good.
[ He stops...that voice.
It's not his own and yet it is oh so familiar.
He dashes to find a mirror or a reflective surface, albeit taking a moment to adjust to his now lighter frame. Making his way to the kitchen he catches a look at his reflection in one of the taps.]
Oh fuck me....

[Dictated]
But she has no way of knowing that this voice is the same person. She sounds new. And Rise's feeling particularly social today, so why not?]
Hey... are you alright?
[Hopefully, this one won't freak out at hearing voices coming from the journal. They usually do.]
no subject
I uh...I'm ok.
The castle's decided to change a couple of things about me.
Big things.
[Crap, crap,crap...the last time he saw this face it was being dragged away by the Tentacle. He should not be wearing it damnit!.]
no subject
[It doesn't even occur to her that that might be a part of those 'big things' the castle changed about this mysterious person. And she was ready to help someone when she responded, so this only changes the details.]
Is this your first loss? You need any help with anything...?
[She's had to take care of friends who turned into dogs and shrank down to a few inches tall before, as well as been on the other side of that second one! Surely there must be something she can do for this woman...]
no subject
[He stops...this isn't her fault. He should stop being a douche, because this young lady is trying to help him.]
Uh I don't suppose you have a practical pair of shoes I can borrow? Seriously how the hell do you women walk in heels?
I feel like a god damn stilt walker.
no subject
You're... not a woman?
[She's never seen a loss like that! ... Just when she thinks she's seen it all, something like this happens. Wow. Um. How does she help with that?
Well, there is what she - he? - asked about, to start.]
I mean... yeah! Sure. If I don't have anything that fits, I could help you wish for something.
... Can you make it to room 725? Or should I come over there?
[She's betting on the latter of the two. First time in heels, the last thing she'd want to be doing is potentially climbing several flights of stairs. But then again, there's always the option of going barefoot.]
no subject
And hearing that groan again is reminding him of all the times She'd voiced disapproval at him and his co-technician. Usually because of his cocky attitude towards work.
He hates you so much right now castle.]
I wouldn't know the first thing about womens shoes. The dimensions seem different and there's a word for men who take too much of an intrest in them.
Could you...possibly come down please? I'm in the kitchens.
[Gary doesn't like the idea of going barefoot...it would make him feel too much like a hippy.]
no subject
Got it! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything~!
[Exactly how much he should worry is a topic of some debate. But Rise really does mean well.]
I'll be down in a few minutes, okay?
[She'll keep her journal open on her way down, just in case.]
no subject
Thank you hun.
[And he'll be waiting.]
[Action]
... Hello?
[She doesn't want to assume the first woman she sees is actually... whoever the guy is that she's looking for! That'd just be rude.]
[Action]
Over here....thanks for getting back so swiftly.
[Action]
Hey! Nice to meet you! I'm Rise.
[She gives the tall not!woman an appraising glance, and tries to see if she can find where the apparently discarded heels went off to. She can guess at size, of course, but it'd be nice to have a number as a basis...]
[Action]
At least she's friendly.]
Yeah Hi, my names usually Gary but today I thought Amy might have a bit more of a kick.
[Action] - 1/2
Alright, Amy-san... let's get you some shoes!
[That tone of voice would be a lot more dangerous if it were applied to a shopping trip instead of wishing. She never did find those heels - maybe the ghosts carted them off somewhere? But she can take a pretty good guess at the size, so all she has to do is wish up some flats!]
[Action]
[She didn't mean to! But what she got when she wished were, well... very adorable. Certainly something she'd wear! She was even looking at this style recently in some magazines at the library. But she's not sure how Gary-slash-Amy will feel about them...]
[Action]
Maybe this was the punishment the Ancient ones had in mind for failing them? Certainly the idea of wearing something so ... bright was making him cringe.
On the other hand his feet hurt like a bitch, and if he had to wear heels any longer he'll end up on his ass.]
Yeah these will do nicely uh thanks ...
[Action]
Smile back in full force, Rise holds the shoes out.]
Alright! Here you go!
I bet they'll look great!
[Rise, that's probably not something this Gary person cares about... even if he's this Amy person right now...]
[Action]
He walks around in them to "Break them in".]
Wow these are ...really comfortable.Thanks.
[Dictated]
What's wrong?
no subject
Oh nothing...you know the usual. You fall asleep and next thing you know, you've not only swapped genders but you've swapped bodies with a friend.
Happened all the time in my neighbourhood.

[He pauses for a moment, before talking mainly to himself.]
I wonder if this means I'll have to drink white wine spritzers now? No wait Lin could knock back beers like a pro...I'll be fine.

Sorry I'm not usually this...feminine.
[Yep...still feeling very weird. And this coming from the guy who controled zombies, vampires and horned beasts for a living.]

On top of being the office eye candy as well.
no subject
Eye candy? Isn't that subjective?
no subject
And sure it is...but you get to my age alot of things are subjective.
no subject
Yeah I bet it is.
