Hanno Futaba · May 9, 2018

Just as Hanno was about to answer Portia back, the whole scenario changed again. As the changes were happening, the Faerin lost himself on thoughts about what the woman said... And she had a point... Being invested on becoming stronger was a need for Hanno, but he also needed to take a break of it sometimes and explore what this world had to offer.

He thought about the small times he spent with his friends when they weren't adventuring, and those times were very relaxing and made him forget his problems. Peharps... This is something he needed. He needed to take a few breaks every now and then-

When the scenario finally changed, Hanno opened his eyes, being able to see himself. 'A mirror?' He tilted his head, but the 'reflection' didn't tilt it's head, making him frown a bit. 'Wait...' Something was off... Why he was seeing his reflection from a higher point of view? Also- 'Why I am feeling like my eyes are a little further from the ground?' Everything was feeling very confusing.

Then, he slowly noticed other changes. He felt his hair bangs touching his back... Was his hair always this long? He also felt some weird weight on his chest, that made him lose some of his posture until he got used to it... Also, something was missing.

"W-What?" He... She? She said, instantly covering her mouth. 'What happened to my voice?!' Hanno had a concerned expression as she slowly realized that the reflection wasn't a reflection at all.

Her eyes widened.

Corvella · May 9, 2018

Time was not kind to her, as it yet again pulled her from where she was and back into the nothingness, before light came and she's suddenly seated in a table. A romantic dinner in the middle of the night, complete with instrumental in the background and candle lighting around them. It's all pretty normal, compared to the fanservice dragon princess and fanservice vampire she had been. Corvella's there, seated and facing another person she know as Hanno.

Wait, why is she watching herself having a date with Hanno?

She reached to her own figure, before realizing that she's not just watching the date, but in the table with both of them. She has a hand; a hand that belonged to someone else.

"What's hap—"

Yep, that's not her voice. It's pretty manly. What kind of gimmick this time?

She, uh, he looked below and found her answer. Tuxedo, no breasts, she's inhibiting a tall and lean body.

CorvellaBrant quickly stared at Hanno and Corvella with concerned face.

Haru · May 9, 2018

When the time came for the world to be swapped and switched once more, Haru was ready for it this time. He had a lot of fun in that rainy night! If nothing else, that alone would let him think about this endeavor fondly.

And now here he was. Looking around him he found a beautiful restaraunt... Ah, was this where he was to find the date of his dreams for real this time? A happy smile brightens his face before he turns to face himself across the table.

.........

"You know what? Looks good to me. How am I doing tonight, my lovely self?" Haru, leaning in across the table, smiles over to what is usually her own face after skipping only a single beat. She steals a glance into an empty glass on the table and steals a look at herself. A woman? He didn't feel all that different... Oh well. He supposed the whole spiels about how characters freak out when their bodies chance was just a misconception or something.

...Now if only he could figure out why he was unable to call for drinks like the last two times...

Sean Poteitoku · May 9, 2018

Sean slowly opened his eyes, awaiting a dragon or a demon of some sort. He was in a party, with singing and music and everything. Sean's eyes began to tear up from the sight. "It's beautiful..." He looked up at the sky. A brilliant meteor shower filled the sky.

"Could this be... My happily ever after?"

Sean noticed a meteor split in half. "What the-" Before he could get all the words out, his vision went dark. He shook his head, reopening his eyes. He was in a different part of the party. I feel different... He looked down to see that he wasn't in his own body, but actually in the body of an oddly familiar girl. "What the!?" Sean shouted in his new voice. Wait... If I remember correctly... She was at Rugome Fort with me!

Looking around, Sean could see himself confused in the crowd...? Intrigued at the sudden developments, he dashed through the crowd over to his body and grabbed their shoulder. "Who are you and what are you doing in my body?"

Alphabet Chocolate · May 9, 2018

Alpha didn't notice anything different at first. She saw everything the same way, the new body of hers being the exact same height as herself. The first clue, however, had been that gnawing hunger clawing at her gut. Words filled her head and she heard a small whisper, the tiniest urge: feed me. Which was quite odd considering she had a nice meal just before the entire speed dating thing started.

She looked down and, to her surprise, she was covered head-to-toe in heavy armor, her limbs suddenly slender and definitely not in the same proportions as before. Quickly, she fingered through her hair only to find it wasn't tied up in its usual-do and, ghosting over her ear, almost panicked at the missing flower that graced her head. Her fashion statement! Her trendy style! It was gone!

She slowly fell to her knees in wallowing despair, clawing at her face. "Where am I? Who am I?!" she screamed, slowly sinking into an identity crisis.

Portia Ahrens · May 9, 2018

As the time came to end the current round, Portia's bloodlust faded into darkness and her body changed to its normal properties, something she would've been grateful for if she managed to keep her missing ear, which she did not. Portia recognized at least some part of her would miss the fangs and the incredibly bold state being a vampire put her in.

Returned to her average self, the human gave her attire a quick pat as she was faced with an entirely normal situation, casting a glance over her shoulder to look at the scenery greeting the pair. It was a sweet sensation to play the part she always meant to, not some damsel in distress nor a bloodthirsty vampire. In fact, she felt no different than she always was.

''Hello there. Let's cut straight to the chase, my name is...'' Turning around in her chair to meet her date, she immediately reached out a hand to the person sitting in front of her. A female, as she soon was able to identify her partner as. However, surprised soon glimmered in her eyes as an entirely different expression took over her features. Sitting across the table was... herself, while a simple glance at what she believed to be her outstretched hand revealed she was in a body not of her own.

''Whatever is happening, I don't appreciate it.''

@Haru

Destiny Divebird · May 10, 2018

After impersonating a hematologist and then having all manner of his own personal possessions thrown at him, Iván hadn’t known what to expect for the last round of Speed Dating. He wasn’t even sure why he’d joined Speed Dating, his lonely heart wasn’t all that lonely with his harem of women. I mean, what, he didn’t have that, he didn’t have any interest in that aspect of the game.

Anyway, to his surprise, it seemed... pleasant. That couldn’t be right. A nice dinner, a fancy restaurant... hang on, who in Purple’s name was that waiting for him at the table? Oh. It was Destiny.

“Hello,” Iván deadpanned, appearing right behind Destiny. A date with Destiny. That seemed funny in a weird way, unless it wasn’t actually funny at all. “Oh look, curry.” He sat down across from the woman. Of course they would be serving his signature dish on a night like tonight, as if Ivan would order anything else—

It seemed like a normal Speed-Date, whatever that meant.

But something seemed...

Off.

@Iván Carl

Haru · May 9, 2018

"You neither?" He might be surprised at the moment, but far be it from her to continue common courtesy. Haru reaches out and shakes the hand with her own with a lax smile on her lips. "I'm Haru. I don't exactly appreciate it either, but these are just avatars anyway, right?" Doubting that she could really do anything about this anyway, the man turned woman resigns herself to... whatever's going on. Actually, save for the body swap, it actually seemed kind of normal.

Her date might not feel that way, though. It was best to check now while the iron was still hot. "Are you ok? Are you feeling any sort of side effects or the sort from whatever happened to us?"

@Portia Ahrens

Portia Ahrens · May 10, 2018

The silver-haired man now relaxed where he sat, reaching out for the glass of wine that'd been served for the couple of players with the intent of drowning on its contents, should they provide him some sense of clarity. First a damsel in distress, now a vampire, now stuck in someone else's body, sitting in front of her own.

''Right. I'm Portia Ahrens,'' he stated as soon as Haru had finished his own introduction, stating both his concerns and opinions on the matter. Finding some sense in what he told her didn't mean the situation couldn't bother her. After all, that had been his body for the gods knew how long, and, offense be damned, she feared what anyone less civilized than the man would've done with it.

''No, the bloodthirst has faded and I have no complaints other than the number of strange things that keep happening. What about you?'' He spoke with a calm tone in his voice, raising a hand to his face to brush the strands of silver hair away.

@Haru

Velka · May 10, 2018

Velka wasn't exactly sure what was going on. While things looked the same at first, she instantly noted how light she felt. Looking down, she could see that something had gone wrong, very, very wrong. And worse yet, when she looked across the table, startled by unfamiliar familiarity of her own voice, she could see... herself? Things just got worse didn't they? Still, no matter how odd this situation was, she'd been through worse. Then again, she was absolutely terribly with social things in general so the next thing that came out of her mouth probably wouldn't go over well. Perhaps it would be better to defuse this situation by resolving the confusion, she was just as confused as the other person was. Well, maybe not as much but the point still stood. Giving a herself a quick once over, she could not recognize who she was.

"Calm down. I am Velka, what is your name?"

Right after she spoke, she felt that she could just barely recognize the voice. It was somewhat recent, but when? Nonetheless, she didn't feel negative about the voice, so that was a good sign. They had probably met in some sort of meeting or another, perhaps a mutual friend?

@Alphabet Chocolate

Iván Carl · May 10, 2018

“Arright—what’s goin’ on?” Destiny muttered, looking around her. One minute she was offering her victim some guy beer to make up for chomping on him, the next she was sitting at a table, listening to some fine fancy music, right across…the curry guy? “Whew! Just you. I know you…”

Of course she knew him. They were in an expedition together. That failed. And ended up with him dead. But he’s alive now, isn’t he? No big deal. They also met up after that failure of an expedition. For some wine and good food. Good times. The Yladian picked up her brightly gleaming fork and spoon, eyeing Iván every now and then, just to make sure she had the whole curry-eating etiquette right.

“Lessee… Guess you ordered for us?” Des gulped down some of the curry after making sure it wasn’t hot or anything. She banged on the table in absolute delight, crowing, “Hell, this has gotta be the best tastin’ curry I’ve ever had! You oughta add this to your restaurant’s menu, Iván!”

Without paying any more attention to the man across her, Destiny bombarded her face with more of that tasty curry. Might be gettin’ the hang of this.

@Destiny Divebird

Haru · May 10, 2018

Haru starts to reply with an agreement but stops herself. Honestly, that wouldn't do the night she had justice. She takes a second to rephrase her reply and returns, "Actually, I've been having a lot of fun! I happened to meet up with some lovely conversationalists." She silently wishes for alcohol to come to her side of the table once more in between her sentences, but it was to no avail.

"Although it's been a bit strange, this night has been rather nice. So while we're here, could you tell you a little bit about myself?" Amusement litters her voice as she butchers the English language.

@Portia Ahrens

Portia Ahrens · May 10, 2018

No one ever asked that of him, to know stuff other than his name and what he was good at. In fact, the question was so unique to his ears that Portia felt how his words were caught in his throat, unable to come out when he didn't even know what to say. Anything would do, he figured, and soon he started with the basic components anyone would ever be interested in.

''I am a brawler. My main focus is to attack using my fists and legs, but I am also undergoing magic training in order to hone my abilities and become some sort of hybrid between physical and magical combat. It is not going well, but I can manage.''

He was surprised at the ease with which the words rolled off his tongue, feeling a shade of pink staining the paleness of his face at the embarrassment it all caused to him. Haru'd mentioned her other partners being capable of holding interesting conversations, and while he couldn't say the same for himself, he secretly hoped he could live up to the expectations she had of him.

''Who are you, Haru?''

@Haru

Seigi · May 10, 2018

Not even able to finish her 'meal' properly, Seigi got soon thrown into another wild ride of what could very well be some silly reality TV show. First, there was darkness, and then a light.

Unlike the two times before, however, this time it actually seemed to be a date! Some sort of delicious food that Seigi couldn't eat anyway. Some beautiful candlelight and... "What?" Herself, her body, on the other side of the table. "...WHAT!?" Seigi called out again as she, or rather he, heard his own voice.

Has Seigi turned into a guy?! Did he die again?! Another DA!? Maybe he'd start switching gender when getting with hot/cold water into contact!?

"What are YOU doing in MY BODY?" 'He' said right back at Sean.

@Sean Poteitoku

Sean Poteitoku · May 10, 2018

Sean was thoroughly astounded at what happened. So we swapped bodies... He quickly blurted out something without thinking. "I don't know why but I remember you from when we were at Rugome Fort together. So... What's been happening until now? I personally have been trying to uphold justice and become a knight, but I sorta became mistaken for a criminal and am now wanted in a major city... So, I guess that's out of the question." He scratched his head. He realized he had sat town to talk to the other person, and the food looked delicious. But Sean didn't feel hungry. He just wanted to catch up with an old companion.
