[It had been a mad rush, once he'd realized... and at least things could be halted roughly before they had progressed to a dangerous state. With her and him now safely secure where they wouldn't be likely to be disturbed, he began to make his way back down the twisting stairs of the tower.

His head wasn't in the game, not properly. It was difficult to focus when everything was wrong. This body used physics that were almost unfamiliar... the shape of hips, breasts, even the musculature was different. She was shorter and more lithe, but more difficult was the degree of light within. That was the most distracting... rather than the constant feeling of the darkness he kept beneath his skin. Which was the true name of the game, wasn't it? This wasn't him, it wasn't his heart.

He stopped mid-stride, concentrating again. Master Keeper appeared in his grasp rather than the familiar curves and hooks of his own blade. He'd known that, but had been too focused on his earlier task to pay it that much mind. Now he held the blade up as thought testing the heft, before dismissing it.

This was wrong. Everything about it was wrong. He'd planned a possesion before, but that would have been his heart in another vessel, and his body wouldn't have been left as a receptacle.

There was nothing left to do but to see what information could be found. He began to continue on resolutely, although he was more relying on his mental maps to keep going as he focused more on the unusual movements, trying to keep everything together. He must look ungainly, indeed...]

Aqua?!

[OK he was. Worried about the switch, yeah. Ven didn't look any different, so he was handling it pretty well. He didn't feel any different either. And he had met up with Roxas! So that was good. So he had most of his normal wits about him. And the last time he had seen Aqua was... way too long ago. And he had been sure she was gone when she wasn't in her room one day.

And yet, there she was! The thought that it wasn't Aqua didn't even occur to him, for some reason. Instead, he just rushed over to her as fast as... well not as fast as normal, but he still ran.]

Aqua! You're back--!

[Don't worry, someone did think of the Aqua-might-not-be-in-there thing, and has appropriately slowed down. Man, it's like he's sharper or something. Gotta just be adrenalin.]

Ven-

[Oh. Wait. He...could totally catch up to him in this body. It only took a few strides after that pause to get back in time with him, grabbing his shoulder a little short of Aqua's position.]

Aqua? Is that, you-you, or someone else?

[Seriously, he'd feel horrible if someone arrived to this nonsense.]

[Strange, how much brighter everyone's light feels. Does Aua have a stronger sense of light? Or is it simply not having anything to balance out that brightness... either way, it's entirely strange and he almost blinks at what wouldn't have fazed him previously.

Ventus and... not... Ventus? He's not even sure he knows who the other one is. Minute differences... their eyebrows are different colours? Curious. He looks from one, to the other, before gesturing slightly toward them.]

I was curious how far this had spread. Am I to take it that the two of you are not yourselves, as well?

[He stopped and glanced at Roxas when the other spoke (and wow how had he caught up so fast oh right), and... looked back and Aqua and back at Roxas and....]

W... No. Roxas and I switched but we usually look the same anyway.

You're not Aqua? Then who are you?
