[It's about five in the morning.

And she woke up, alarmed, surprised, wondering what happened. And other stuff like that. Really, there's a lot of shock, a lot of awe, and more than a little alarm. She decided she needed to get up, sneak out... and then go from there. This is only redoubled when she looks in the mirror and hears some of the other people in the house and doesn't recognize all of the decor...

Actually, she'll look back later in the day and probably marvel at how rational she is able to be right now. Blame Luceti.

She only bothers to throw on a shirt and ... something. Okay, basic cover up, maybe she looks mis-matched but. Bigger priorities. Yes. She needs to get to House 10 to see if this is really what she thinks it is. But- oh dammit the door's locked. Maybe if she knocks harder on the window of her bedroom]

[Usually Sokka is the first one to wake up in the house. He has Okita Souji to blame for that. When he wakes up to the sound of banging outside, he opens his eyes blearily and silently wished for it to go away. When it doesn't seem to go away, he throws the blanket off and starts to climb out of bed. He finds it only mildly odd that it seemed like the floor was a little further away from the bed than usual, but whatever.

He stands up and walks to the window, scratching his bottom, and then being startled to realize that his curtains are not that color. He takes a wild look around the room and quickly realizes this isn't his room either. What the hell, did the Malnosso move him into someone else's room!?

And then the knocking continues. Why is something bothering him now!? He finally steps forward, opens the curtains, and looks out the window to see himself outside it. And then he fell over in shock.]

[...

Did he just faint? Oh he did not just faint when she's stuck on this side of the window]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

[No, he did not faint. He's sitting on the ground staring in shock at the window. Did he always look so dumb when he was gawking?

Okay, this is Luceti, this isn't the weirdest thing to happen to him before. Maybe. Either way, he stands up again, creeps up to the window, and unlocks it. He pulls it up (noticing that it's heavier than his window at home) and looks at his... clone.]

Okay you better- [And then he chokes. Was that HIS voice!?]

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

[Wow she looks that... dumb? Cute? Moe? God forbid when she's confused and indignant? Okay, she needs to lean up against the windowsill, surprised now in spite of her earlier composure. So this is...]

Yeah. Hi.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

I have a girly voice! [He stares down at his hands.] And... girly hands!? [And then the same thing he did when he woke up as Suki. He clutches his chest.] And... and...

[He glares back up at... well, his body.]

Who are you!?

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

Who do you think?! [Wait. Just woke up - also wow this voice is so weird coming out of her mouth. She points ( a very Haruhi-esuqe movement, really ) at her closet. There should be a mirror inside of it's door]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

I don't know! [He is just... why does this have to happen now?! Angry at whoever is using his body, he whirls around to go look where he's directed. There is indeed a mirror. When he sees the face looking back at him, he pales considerably. The idea of being stuck in some girl's body is bad enough, but why oh why OH WHY did it have to be Haruhi's!?]

You... you can't be serious... [He tugs on one of the locks of hair as if somehow moving on it will make him into some other girl he'd feel slightly less annoyed at being stuck in. Unfortunately it does nothing.]

I don't even remember being kidnapped!

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

I don't either! [ :| ...Maybe she should try to come inside. Looking at the window, it should be big enough to climb in even if you were a Sokka-sized person, right? So while he's doing that she's going to try to climb in. Wow, these muscles are not something she's used to though - the whole frantic run over here in the hapidash closes is one thing, but now that she's (almost) calmer

Huh. The little things]

End of Day 1

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

[After getting through their respective dinners, the two go to their pre-arranged meeting point - the school playground. Given it's late, it's abandoned and tucked away behind the school. Sokka gets there first and ends up sitting at the end of the slide, looking a little worse for wear (dinner was hard) and about as frustrated as he can get. After only one day he was on the verge of calling the whole thing quits.]

[Haruhi ends up later. In a fuller house who cares more about if "he" comes or goes, she had to delay a bit until she got out. So ... looking very tired indeed she does show up, looking around for her own body. When she spots it, she walks on over]

Hey.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

[When his body finally shows up, he has that strange feeling of 'out of body experience' which is natural, given he is out of his body. It's odd watching it move like that and not be a reflection.]

Okay, your plan? It sucks. I can't do it.

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

Well what's the alternative, being brain-panned?

[Flatly. She sighs, leaning up against the pale for the swings]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

Maybe that won't happen. Maybe if I just go to my home and explain things, we can just... wait it out. These things don't last forever.

[Sure, even if it's supposedly not a Shift, it's something like one and these things are never permanent.]

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

You heard her - it's not a Shift. It's not them.

[Biting her lip. Which... probably looks a little awkward on Sokka]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

[It is awkward. He frowns at her concern.]

It's the Malnosso. She works for the guy who convinced us he was some kind of high priest.

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

...Fine, I don't think it's them.

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

[And later in the week there's another meeting. They've been having other ones before now, of course, but this one is after their respective dates on Sunday and Monday, so it's extra important and such. Into the Brigade room as before]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

[Sokka is sitting in the chief's chair now. He's kind of got used to that. He's also got his feet up on the table and eating jerky.]

Hey Haruhi.

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

[...Again with the jerky]

Hi Sokka.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

So, you figured out how to swap us yet? [The same thing he asks every time they meet.]

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

I've been keeping up with the trying to dream about being me again.

[He current theory. But now she can't help but wonder if there's something else]

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

Great. Way to keep up the power dreaming. How long have we been waiting on that one?

[He's starting to think it's a dead end.]

[markofthegod.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not that much longer. Another date with Suki would be awkward.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

You didn't make it weird, did you?
