[Ducks, the view you're seeing is... underwater? There are schools of fish going by, and a great stream of water in the background, with fish dotting it. And floating into the frame... a sunfish, colored a metallic blue, brown eyes shining with amusement. What the hell...?]

Hi, everyone... It's Itsuki. I'm sure you're wondering how I got here... well. I'm not sure myself.

[She turns sideways, showing off her lithe body... and shiny scales, before she circles around and looks at the camera again.]

I have no idea what happened, but... it's kinda nice here. I don't have to fret over the latest drama, or worry about how big my stack of papers is at home. I can just swim around and spend my time in peace... maybe I'll go talk to the turtles again. They're surprisingly worldly, and have some pretty good advice, though they're a little... eccentric. Not that I mind that. I've got an eccentric friend or two myself, so I'm used to it. I kind of wish the others were here, but... [She makes a short, sharp motion up; a fish equivalent of a shrug?] I'll take what I can get.

So... how's everyone else doing? Did anyone else end up somewhere... weird?

((OOC: Itsuki's swapped with Aqua. Aqua happened to be near the world of Finding Nemo, and so when Itsuki gained control... she ended up becoming a sunfish.))

[icantbelievethis]

You're a fish?

[sunbloom]

That's sure what it seems like. I mean, it's better than the other options, but... a fish is still a little awkward.

I'm guessing there's some kind of switching virus going around?

[icantbelievethis]

Yeah. It's Nagisa. I'm stuck here as Yuji. The demons are everywhere.

[sunbloom]

Oh, dear... are you at least in a relatively safe place? I'm sure someone still has access to some kind of power to get you out until he gets his body back, if you need it.

[icantbelievethis]

I'm not running away. This place might be dangerous, but I promised Yuji I'd help out. His world used to be normal, and they don't deserve this.

[sunbloom]

Hearing that while I've run off and left stacks of paperwork to Aqua makes me feel like I'm slacking off. I'm confident you'll do well, though, with that kind of attitude.

[icantbelievethis]

Don't remind me of school...

[shiningwaters]

Sorry if I caused any trouble for you. The transformations happen to keep from disrupting the balance between worlds.

[sunbloom]

...Well. This is... surreal. [Talking to herself while she wasn't home wasn't exactly on her to-do list today, but... she can roll with it.]

Don't worry about it. It's kind of neat, being a fish. Gives me a change to stretch my legs... er, fins?

[shiningwaters]

It is. Some of the other fish there are very nice, though it's a little hard to understand the turtles.

Also, is there anything I need to know for your world? I know you were all working on that fashion show...

[sunbloom]

A little bit, but they just know so much! It's kind of exciting, honestly, being able to talk to someone so worldly. I'm trying to get along with the other fish, too... um. I did make the mistake once of popping up from the surface. It's one I haven't repeated.

As for all that... mostly, I've been working hard trying to get the student council through the festival in one piece - it's not just the Fashion Club, it's the whole school. There's a lot of paperwork, and it can wait until I get back, it's just going to be a huge stack. To say nothing of the fact that Erika probably still hasn't given me a set of forms. Really though, you don't have to do it, Aqua...

[shiningwaters]

I'm glad you're relaxing.

I already promised Tsubomi I'd help any way I could. So I'll do what I can here. You take it easy.

[sunbloom]

[She's silent for a long moment, considering things.]

I am in your debt, Aqua. I don't mean to leave a stack of work behind for you to do, but if you're willing, I won't object.

[shiningwaters]

That's fine. It's actually a lot more relaxing than the duties I usually had to worry about.

[falseblossum]

Itsuki Myoudouin, correct? Oriko Mikuni.

[sunbloom]

So Tsubomi's swapped out as well... hmm. I'll have to see if I can figure out what happened to her. Not that I'll be much help as a fish, but... I'm still a little worried. Thank you for letting me know, Mikuni-san.

...Any crises at home that I should know about? [That was all she needed, an attack while she and Tsubomi - and, at this rate, probably Yuri and Erika - were away. Did any of the four left behind even know to use the left-behind Heart Perfumes? Could they use them? She'd never had to ask.]

[falseblossum]

She's in my own body from my world; we're in contact, she should be alright.

This business aside, none that I'm aware of. Should the worst occur, I am aware of how to become Cure Blossom; likewise, she understands the usage of my Soul Gem if it comes to it.

[sunbloom]

[Well. That answered that question, at least...]

All right, then. In that case... I hate to push it onto someone else, but I'm leaving things there to you. I'm in your debt.

[Itsuki belatedly realizes the "bow"? gesture doesn't translate well to a species with no waist, and instead bends her front end down a bit.]

[falseblossum]

Nothing should happen, with luck.

[falseblossum]

...Forgive me for asking but... fish?

[sunbloom]

It seems like I switched with Aqua... And this is where she was beforehand. She said something about preserving the barriers between worlds, so this is probably a safeguard to make sure human-me doesn't throw off the other fish.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Hm. Did we have a fish on the community?

[sunbloom]

No, we didn't. It's Itsuki Myoudouin. Hello, Sena... er. You probably aren't Sena, are you?

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, it's Karen. This is all very strange.

[sunbloom]

Yes, it is... of course, I'm perhaps a little more "living proof" than usual on that front.

[She curls a fin toward herself as an indicator.]
