witchofpleiades (in [OU] Jade's body

semipotence)
Setting: Various parts of the body swap event, all over the tower
Format: Will match replies
Summary: Kazumi wakes up in the body of a different magical(?) girl. Confusion ensues. Replies from

witchofpleiades.
Warnings: None planned...

[Room 3-11, Dorms - Day 1]

[At first, Kazumi barely even notices anything is amiss as she gets up - her body is, more or less the same, and she's half asleep. It's only when she goes to brush her hair and pokes her ears that she notices...]

Huh, what?

[And feeling around, she confirms that yes, she has dog ears. Staring in the mirror, she tries to clear her eyes but everything remains kind of blurry until she squints up close. That. That is not her face at all.]

What's going ooooon!?

[Floor 1, Cafeteria - Any Day]

[Dressed in Jade's ~~dogtier~~ godtier outfit and equipped with glasses, Kazumi is... down in the kitchens of course. She's cooking up a storm as usual, and more than willing to share. If you think it's odd that Jade is cooking so much, you recognize Kazumi's cooking (can people do that???) or are just hungry, come bother her!]

[Floor 25, Meadow - Any Day]

[Kazumi-in-Jade's body is out enjoying this one peaceful floor quietly... right until she sees one of the tinkerbulls go fluttering by. Normally she just feels kind of sorry for them but something about the way this one flies by just... makes her... want to...]

BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARK!

[Floor 10, Aquarium - Any Day]

[Kazumi is trying out Jade's space powers... shrinking things down or making them bigger. Mostly trying it on some of the fish, making tiny sharks or humongous minnows. She's giggling and having a lot of fun with it, though she jumps back in surprise when she accidentally makes a fish so big it bursts out of the wall of water, almost hitting her before she quickly shrinks it back down]

Aack! Geez, that was scary...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Kazumi runs after the ring, chasing it down the cafeteria WHO MADE THIS PLACE SO BIG until she finally catches up with it, picking it up and running back.

She'd heard Jyuubey mention "within 100 meters" but she hadn't thought about what happened if that limit was broken... coming back, she picks up Rosa's cold hand and slips the ring back on]

Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay...

[She can feel something soft wrapping around her, and then the sensation of being moved. And suddenly, she can move again.]

[She opens her eyes and sees Kazumi looking at her.]

What...happened?

[Kazumi breathes a heavy sigh of relief that Rosa woke up]

Oh thank goodness...

You, uh... you disconnected. From your body.

You see, your Soul Gem... is your soul. The body is just a shell controlled by it, within a certain range. If you move out of that range...

H-how?

[Rosa's hand flies to her ring again as she wonders whether or not she should throw it away. How could she be something so disgusting as a rock?]

It's... because of the contracts we made to become Puella Magi. We didn't know it at the time, but they pulled our souls out and crystallized them into Soul Gems.

...

[Rosa just stares, unable to say or do anything.]

So, um... please be very careful with it! Both for your own sake and the girl whose body this normally is.

Why...

[Her voice is barely a whisper.]

Why...did I have to go into this body?

[She had been turned into the very thing she hated. The very thing that had killed her family.]

I don't know... it's the work of the tower administrators, right? I wonder if they have a reason or they're just being mean to us...

...I'm a Witch.

[Rosa mutteres.]

These Administrators...are no better than Witches.

You aren't a witch! Or you aren't yet.

That's why you have to be careful about your Soul Gem... if it gets too dark, you'll become a witch and... well, basically you'll die. As a person.

Wait...I'm supposed to use magic. And I'm not a Witch?

That's because you're... a magical girl!

How is that different from a Witch?

[Maria had never mentioned Magical Girls, just Witches.]

Because Magical girls are the ones who fight witches and protect people from their curses using hope and miracles!

So...magical girls are good...Witches are bad...

[She can deal with this. Just temporarily.]

...I need weapons.

Hmm, I'm not sure where you'd get them. You should also have magic, but I don't know what abilities this girl has! Plus, like I said, you shouldn't use it much or it'll corrupt your Soul Gem...

Is there any way to use it without corrupting the soul gem?

Not really... you just have to be careful. There's a man here, Enoch, who can clean Soul Gems though, or so I've been told. I haven't met him though.

Really? I will contact him when needed then.

Okay! Other than that, and trying to stay out of danger so you don't have to use it, try to keep your spirits up!

What do spirits have to do with any of this?

Because Puella Magi use the magic of hope to fight the Witches' curses of despair! So you have to keep hope in your heart.

If that is what you are talking about, I doubt I will have problems.

[After all, she can hope to find Maria again and to escape the tower...]

[But would it be enough?]

Or does it need to be specific type of hope?

Um, I'm not sure. But as long as you don't give in to despair, it should be good!
