Event Log - Total Recall

[lucetimods]

Who: You and you and mostly me and you
What: Everyone's been Shifted in their own way
When: A hero doesn't care if this event last a whole ten days
Where: Everyone can blaze a hero's trail
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated H for HEROIC

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a mass log for people to comment around on if they don't want to make posts. Or even if they want to make posts anyway. There will be at least one more of these later in the event! ENJOY!

Evening of Day 4

[i_speak_softly]

[Don rode the subway. He rode the subway. When he meets Robert on the way home, he seizes him by the elbows and immediately starts telling him all about it.]

[thisbodysucks]

[The sudden hold mutes all of the turtle's words. Visages of Covenant Brutes come to her in a rush in her current body and with a visible non-human in front of her.

Robert's body moves to slip away from the hold in movements that he would not know, let alone move with outside training merged with a fight-or-flight situation.

Trying to take distance, and set herself in a combat stance, cobras poised to strike.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don backs away too - half of his brain is telling him this is Robert, but the other half says it isn't, and he's had caution beaten into him long enough that he listens to the paranoid side.]

What...?

[thisbodysucks]

[As she stays locked in position, she tells herself to acknowledge her actions. It is Donatello. Robert's companion. He was far more used to visible non-human sentients than she was.

It takes her too long to calm herself. She cannot think with the clarity she does even in combat. Robert's heart takes the time to slow down.]

I'm not Robert.

[i_speak_softly]

No kidding.

[The unspoken question: Who are you?]

[thisbodysucks]

[She takes seconds to answer. She knows to keep her mind focused and thinking in this slower body, even as Robert's heart kept smashing his chest from a simple action to escape from a lock.]

I am Daisy. I think Robert has my body now.

[i_speak_softly]

[Well. At least it's a friend, in his partner's body. Don relaxes somewhat.]

The two of you should probably be together.

[thisbodysucks]

I was going to look for him. My body should be outside of the gym, but there's a problem...

He's not used to the strength.

[Nor the height, nor the reaction speeds, nor the quickening of thoughts, nor the hunger...]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don understands immediately.]

Of course. Should I go ahead and look for him, or do you want to go together?

[thisbodysucks]

We should stick together, just in case. I know more about the body to tell him through the journals. He's going to need guidance.

[Would have a hard time admitting it, but someone with bigger strength and caution would come in handy with someone who literally does not know her strength.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don turns towards the gym, and waits. He's not sure how fast Daisy can move in this state.]

[thisbodysucks]

I'm going to move in slower in this body. It can't take a lot of punishment. You see a blond head and a red jumpsuit, chances are it's my body.

[Which is, quite a bit. While in her original body she'd have to take smaller steps to let people keep up with her as she walked, she has to walk a lot while in this body. Not something she approves of as she exits the house to look around.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don can't help thinking that Robert-in-Daisy's-body would be hard to miss.]

[He's probably going to hate himself for this next question, but right now he just has to ask.]

Daisy... what does it feel like? Being Robert?

[thisbodysucks]

It's like watching those old movies with framerates, and being as slow as them. I don't have as many problems of balance, but...

[She holds something in Robert's pocket. It almost falls from the hand from the little strength she uses.]

I feel weak. I don't like it.

[i_speak_softly]

[Robert's nanocomputer --! Don lunges forward when Daisy fumbles it.]

Please be careful with that -!

[thisbodysucks]

[The body moves and reacts too slowly to realize the object almost falling when she recognizes it. The nanocomputer.]

Sorry!

[She feels to slow... And then, stares at the nanocomputer. It was the instrument Robert requested time ago.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don looks at the nanocomputer too, and an idea occurs to him.]

Daisy, were you carrying anything Robert shouldn't be touching?

[Dangerous weapons, perhaps?]

[thisbodysucks]

Knife, pistol, short sword. Standard gear when I'm out of armor.

[Which has been a whole lot of the time, lately.

...

Even then.]

Robert's been trained with them, I hope.

[At the very least, he dislikes any instrument of violence.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Good. Don had been imagining miniature atomic bombs, or a vaporizor ray.]

He's been training in swordsmanship. I don't think he would touch a gun.

[thisbodysucks]

[Disturbingly enough, Spartans are fond of Plasma Grenades. At least those don't get in the village.]

Swords are still meant to kill. But he understands the dangers.

[If anything, it would make Robert more responsible. Actually understanding the power behind those weapons.]

How has he gone with it?

[i_speak_softly]

The training? I don't ask.

[With the weapons question sorted out, he turns and starts walking towards the gym again.]
