Mission 27 [Action/Voice]

[Action]

[When Erza wakes up in the morning, she finds that she's much smaller than usual. This isn't a surprise to her - it wouldn't be the first time that she was de-aged, and similar things had been happening to other people all week. Up to this point, she had only been affected in smaller ways - being teleported around the enclosure for a few days, but then, nothing. At least, nothing until now.

Sighing, she decides that, since she's up so early anyways, she might as well get changed and go for a jog. As is her routine, she exquips into an outfit that she got when she was brought down to being twelve years old. ...Except it doesn't quite work out. For some reason, she can't use her magic.]

What's going on here? [...Wait, that didn't sound like her. Erza dashes over to a mirror, and sees Wendy looking back at her. For a few moments, she's speechless. However, once she gathers her bearings, she decides to go and check on Wendy. Whether Wendy's normal or not, this will inevitably be confusing, but this situation should probably (in her mind, at least) be dealt with now.]

Wendy, are you awake?

[Voice]



[A very stern-looking young girl is on the journals this morning. The contrast between this expression and Wendy's normal behaviour is rather striking, but Erza doesn't exactly give anyone who knows Wendy much time to register this change - rather, she skips straight to the point.]

So who else is in this sort of state? Having their bodies switched with their friends, I mean.

...Also, what other effects has this experiment had on people?  In a case like this, we should probably be prepared for anything.

[Throughout the rest of the week, Erza will be trying to go through her usual routine. Given the amount of danger that tends to involve, (between training, exploring, and eating unhealthily massive amounts of desserts) Wendy will probably be sticking around to curb that sort of behaviour, just in case it sticks when things go back to normal.]

((OoC: Replies from Erza will come from scarlet_healer, while replies from Wendy will come from sky_knight.))

[Video] If you don't mind--

[sky_knight]

Um... If you mean Erza-san's body, it's right here. [A small wave.]

[Video] Don't mind at all!

[cuethemasong]

Well, well! I didn't know that you knew such a beauty!

[Video] Yay! \o/

[sky_knight]

[kjsdhgsdgs, not again. Sorry, Erza, she's ruining your image with her flailing and stuff.] Sh-Shouldn't you be telling that to Erza-san instead then?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

[He's going to take this image to the grave. And store it for teasing ammo.]

--Hmmm, I should! But that doesn't mean that you don't have your beauty points as well!

[Video]

[sky_knight]

[It will pretty much be to the grave if/when the actual Erza gets to you.]

U-Um, thank you...? I... I think it would be best just to tell Erza-san this though since it's her body.. [She doesn't know what to do again.]

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

Oh, come on now. I'm a much more direct person, so I'd rather tell it to her face.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

Even though I have her face at the moment, I don't think it would mean very much unless you tell the actual person, right?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

That's right! Honesty is the best policy! If you have a problem with someone, it's best to tell them directly.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

Right! So you should tell all that stuff you told me to Erza-san! Since it was directed to her, right?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

[G... getting a headache.] No, no. I was directing it at you! You might be in her body, but you're still you deep down.

[Video] 1/2

[sky_knight]

[... I'm sorry, she's confused.] ... Eh?

[Video]

[sky_knight]

E-Eh? B-But-- Wa--Wasn't all the stuff you were saying directed at Erza-san though? [Well, that's what she thought this entire time. Body swapping is confusing for her.]

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

Well, yeah. But you aren't in her body right now. I can mention it to her later.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

[But Wendy thought she was in Erza's body...? Yeah, forever confused. Is he just wanting to see her reaction?] Could... Couldn't you just tell her over the video though?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

We're having a deep conversation about how magic differs from each world. But it would be good to pass along for a later topic.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

[A light laugh.] I guess that would kind of ruin your current discussion if you bring tha-- [... What. This is a first. She's never heard this from him.] You're a mage as well?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

Huh? I never told you that? I'm a mage in training. Right now, I just know how to negate magic and use alchemy.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

Um, if I recall correctly, this would be the first time I heard that. [Since he was teasing her when they first met.] But it's amazing that you can negate magic already! I don't think many people are able to do that, unless you have that type of magic in my world.

... Alchemy?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

It usually ends up stripping people's clothes off, but I'm getting the hang of controlling it!

You don't know what Alchemy is? It's basically turning an object into something else.

[Video]

[sky_knight]

Ah, well, I'm sure you'll be pretty amazing at it soon then!

And nope, this is the first time I've heard of it. And really? So it could turn, um... Dirt into water or something like that?

[Video]

[cuethemasong]

I think it's a little more complicated than like. Like you could turn lead into gold for a better example.

[Video] Sorry about the late. D8

[sky_knight]

Wow, that sounds really amazing! Where did you learn how to do something like that?

[Video] No problem!

[cuethemasong]

I copied the skill from a friend of mine.

[Video] 1/2

[sky_knight]

Co... Copied? [She thought it was going to be an amazing story and that he learned it from a teacher or something... Instead it was just that.]

[Video] Done!

[sky_knight]

Well, um, I guess that is one way of learning it! Can anyone in your world learn magic?
