Naoto? Brother? Winry?

It's Al! I don't know where I am but I'm in Kefka -- that scary clown guy? -- I'm in his body, and he's in jail. I think that means he's in my body. Be careful!!

...What?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

The person in my bedroom isn't me. We switched bodies.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

How did that even...

Oh, wait, this is a virus, isn't it? Please say it's a virus!

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Well...be really careful, Al, okay? Mr. Palazzo's world is pretty scary.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I will be. Besides, I'm in jail. I don't think I can go far.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Jail?! Al, we need to get you out of there!

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I don't think we should, Winry. After all, Mr. Kefka is in here for a reason and we don't know when the virus will end.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but what if something...bad is scheduled to happen while you're in his body?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we'll be okay.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Nnn...I hope so!

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

GIVE. ME. MY BODY. BACK!

[RAGEFACE FROM AL'S ROOM, COMING TO YOU LIVE NOW.]

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I don't want this either! I didn't do it!

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

You.

[Kefka points a shaking finger at Al.]

You better not mess up my body. If you cast a spell--you don't know how to use magic properly. Don't use magic. Eat when your body gets hungry and try to move around every few hours, got it?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll take good care of your body, Mr. Kefka. Please take care of mine.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I can't really abuse your body. It refuses to obey me.

[His face flickers to a sob, and he buries his head in a pillow for a moment to add:]

If you have...questions about how my body works, go ahead. It doesn't work like a normal human body does anymore.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I can't go anywhere, so... I won't do much. I'll try to keep it in good shape.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

As far as I can recall...taste is different than normal, as is smell...decrease in certain tactile sensations, chances of hearing things not audible to the human ear...increase in anger and upset moods...it's such an effort to stay upset in this body. I just want to cry. Dammit.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Don't cry. You'll only feel worse after.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it! I'm trying not to. Do you have any books near your bed?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Yes! In the basket by the far side! There are some alchemy texts, and Roze brought me some novels.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Hnn...they sound good enough. I'll get to reading!

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

If you can't hold the books, there's a book stand too. I'm sure someone can set it up for you.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I can have it on the bed and I be on my stomach above it.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

It's not very comfortable for long.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Then I'll try and control birds with my brain.

[HE'S JOKING. mostly.]

[backdated due to internet fail... orz]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

...I doubt he'll be able to do anything while he's stuck in your body, given your condition.

Are you all right? Physically, that is. The guards aren't mistreating you, are they?

Re: [backdated due to internet fail... orz]

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Still be careful.

I'm okay! Mr. Kefka's body is weird, though.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

All right, all right. I'm more worried about Kefka trying to overexert your body, though.

Weird? How?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

He's still really weak and he doesn't taste things right. Of all the bodies to get stuck in...

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

He's become weakened somehow...? But I thought he was some sort of powerful magician or something to that effect...

I'm so sorry, Al. But it could be worse, you know.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I think it is the magic. It's eaten him up from the inside out. It's terrible.

I know. Thanks, Naoto.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

That's terrible... You're pretty much just as badly off as if you were in your own body.

Is there anything I can do for you? I can't imagine you'd be allowed visitors, but... I could probably sneak in some food or extra blankets or something...?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

That's okay. At least it doesn't hurt as much.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Still... if there's anything I can do to make you more comfortable, please let me know? I'll do my best to make sure Kefka doesn't over-exert your body.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Naoto! I'm okay, for now.
