Time for something fun!

[untilavalon]

Need a little pick me up? Or just feel like playing something really stupid? It's time for a meme.

The Magical Swap Meme
or the 'oops, you done fucked up' meme

courtesy of Luc*

Directions

1. Post your character with the name/canon in the subject meme. In your comment, put your preferences such as, "I don't want to do prompt #1" or "for the gender swap prompt, [character] will look like [this]" or "for the age swap prompt, my character will be 5 years younger".


2. Tag each other and have fun.

Prompts

• Body Swap: Holy shit. You're looking at yourself like you're looking in a mirror. The only problem is, when you're looking down at your own hands... you're in someone else's body.


• Gender Swap: Well, this is new; you're now no longer in the right body, but it's still yours. Were you always a girl? You sure weren't yesterday. Of course, this is probably another one of the city's tricks; no point in getting all up in arms about it, is there?


• Age Swap: Are you starting to see a pattern here? Now you're younger-- or older-- than you were a little while ago. Who're you going to bug about your height now?


• Canon Swap: Your entire history is different now. Suddenly, you're a homestuck. Or maybe you're an elf. Or perhaps you're not even switching canons with the person you're threading with. What's the damage?


• Power Swap:...Like the one above, but with powers instead of canons.


• Moral Alignment Swap: Suddenly, you're evil as hell. Or maybe you're really good now. Or maybe your moral alignment is "eh /non-commital wiggly hand gesture". I don't make the rules here, bucko.


• Luc, you didn't include this swap I wanted to do!: Well look at you, you have a bigger imagination than I do. What are you waiting for? Swap it. Just swap it. Do it, before it's too late.
  

You now have four minutes to save the world.**

*If it's a bad meme, it wasn't my idea.
**You do not have four minutes to save the world. In fact, there's really no point in worrying about world saving right now.

Dante | Devil May Cry

[stylish_hunter]

[Swap it, swap it good. But probably mostly age swap because goodness knows I do love tormenting people with Dante as a teenager.

Keep in mind he's a monster and I'm sorry.

BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE JUST LET ME KNOW?]

Age change!

[superstylishsquid]

*Dante, there's a pair of glowing red eyes staring out at you from an alleyway, their owner apparently hiding behind a dumpster.*

Using this account for icooonsss

[oncedevil]

[Yeah trying to sneak up on someone in a dark alley is never a good idea, dude. He doesn't even say anything, just pulls a gun and fires a warning shot near the dumpster.]

It's past curfew, shouldn't you be in bed?

[superstylishsquid]

*He scrambles away from the dumpster on all fours. He's the size and rough shape of a human, but his skin is dark purple, except for his goat-like legs covered in black fur and the black bat wings with a matching devil's tail. Each of his elbow has a spike sticking out of it and his large, almost childlike, eyes are glowing brightly and wide with fear. He growls something in some demonic language, but his voice is tense rather than angry.*

[oncedevil]

[The teenager smirks. Look at what he found.]

Well look at you, crawling out of the woodwork all over these days, aren't you? Lucky for you I'm not busy, so I guess I've got a little time to play with you.

[That smirk turns positively vicious as he twirls his gun idly.]

Well, what are you waiting for?

[superstylishsquid]

*He can't understand a word of this, but he knows a threat when he sees it. He stands up on two legs, baring his fangs and flaring his wings even as his tail tucks between his legs and he backs away, glancing around for a way to escape. Not enough wind in this alley to fly and he hasn't mastered magic well enough to use that for a boost. And he can't climb fast enough to escape...maybe he can negotiate? Telepathically, he reaches out to try to tap into the other demon's language center to at least be able to communicate with him.*

You don't want to eat me...

[oncedevil]

[Briefly his eyes widen in surprise, he hasn't really heard any demons speak to him in his mind before (yet). Can't say that he likes it too much. The surprise is quickly masked behind a fierce glare, eyes narrowed and his own teeth bared in a near-snarl.]

Nice trick, but I'm not buying it. Eat you? You've got to be kidding.

[superstylishsquid]

*It doesn't take long for him to learn English well enough to speak out loud, flapping his wings in an attempt to look more intimidating.*

Right, it's a dumb idea. My master, he wouldn't be happy if you ate me. No demon wants to steal from him.

[oncedevil]

Look at that, I knew you could talk. Playing coy with me isn't very polite you know. Your master you say?

[Maybe he'll just pin this one down and twist the sword in a bit until he gets some answers, then. That might be more fun than this pleading whelp.]

And just who might that be?

[Dante please put the scary face away.]

[superstylishsquid]

*He catches sight of a fire escape and jumps up to it, climbing over the rail to claim the high ground...for what good it does.*

I needed to learn the language first.

*He crouches down, changing tactics now that he has distance and trying to make himself as small a target as possible.*

My master, my father...Lord Chronos. I'm his, he'll be mad if you kill me. Even if he'll already be mad at me for getting lost...he'll be madder if you take from him!

[oncedevil]

[Making a break for it, huh? It doesn't do much good, as Dante promptly jump kicks off the wall to land on the fire escape ledge with the little demon. You might be able to fly, but Dante's quick on his feet. Keep running, that just makes the hunt more fun.]

Chronos? Never heard of him. Sounds like a loser if you ask me, especially with such a cowardly little minion.

[He pokes vaguely at Alastor with his gun, finger not even on the trigger anymore. Honestly you're pathetic and he almost feels bad picking at you. But a demon's a demon, and he's a devil hunter. It's nothing personal, except yes it is.]

So you're, what, picking up the flowers for his banquet? Getting a father's day card? Gonna get him a nice tie, maybe?

[superstylishsquid]

I'm young, still learning. I know when I'm out of my league. But he's powerful. No demon challenges him and lives.

*He backs up again, baring his teeth and swiping at the gun with his claws. Not that they're hard enough to rend metal at this point, he's probably just going to end up dulling them.*

I said I'm lost. I'm not supposed to be here. But...but take me back to his palace, and he might reward you for finding me.

[oncedevil]

Great, I go looking for a good time and they send me a kid? What the hell is this.

[Dante pulls back anyway, not feeling particularly like dealing with cat scratches on his gloves, thank you very much. You're not even worth his time, runt. He just kind of gives the demon a flat look, propping his gun up on his shoulder.]

Man. What kind of demon are you, anyway? This is pathetic.

[The pathetically lost kind, apparently.]

Take you back? Pfeh, like hell I'd want a reward from a devil.

AGE SWAPPING YEA

[flashover]

[RIN IS NOW OLD. Well. Older. Maybe 25. A fully-fledged exorcist with his coat and pin and everything. His hair is a little longer, pulled back in a ponytail. His ears are longer, his pupils slitted. Seems like the demon-ness gets worse as you get older! Still lets his tail hang out like a gross moron, though. And there's a spiky bracelet around the end of it, just above the poof. He'll never grow up. His sword is, as ever, slung over his shoulder.

His demon senses are much stronger, so he's able to detect the presence of a demon nearby. ]

Oiiii! I know you're there, demon! Show yourself, alright?!

AW YISS

[oncedevil]

[AND DANTE IS A BRATTY TEENAGER. Without a shirt, because shirts are for losers like you. Boy you don't even try to hide what you are, do you? And you're calling him a demon? Rude.

ALSO EXCUSE YOU HE IS BUSY USING BUILDINGS AS WALKWAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH? But fine, he'll pause just for you since you asked so nicely. He peers over the edge of a roof, completely unimpressed.]

You should talk. What, somebody let you off your leash so you thought you'd go bark at the neighbors?

[flashover]

[wow what a punk. SURE REMINDS RIN OF SOMEONE....]

There you are! Woo, you're fast, guy! I'm all out of breath from chasing you.

[Except he's not, really. Rin grins, putting his hands on his hips]

Why don't you come down here, and we'll have a nice little talk, alright?

[oncedevil]

[A mirror ten or so years ago?]

Fat chance. Get lost before I call the pound, Fido.

[He is a busy guy and why are you following him don't you know that's rude? Learn some manners, tail guy.]

[flashover]

[like looking in a mirror. BACK THROUGH TIME]

Hate to break it to ya, kid, but...

[With a few jumps between the buildings, he ends up next to Dante, hands in his pockets]

I am the dog-catcher.

[he points to the badge on his lapel]

Knights of the True Cross, Exorcist First Class. Nice ta meet'cha. We got word of a demon running around here causing mischief. That wouldn't be you, would it? Hahaha!

[oncedevil]

[It's horrifying isn't it?

Woah, okay. Slightly impressive, but he still maintains that utterly unimpressed expression. Because it's mandatory.]

Would you get a load of this clown?

[He asks of no one in particular but himself, gesturing vaguely in Rin's direction.]

Right, well, whatever you and your fancy knights do how about you let the real devil hunters handle it. You just sit back, I'll show you how the professionals do it.

[That's not answering the question, Dante.]

[flashover]

Uhhh... who are you talking to, man? [he shrugs and shakes his head] No one up here but us chickens, you know!

[he pulls his sword off his back, but doesn't unsheathe it. Instead he just sort of leans on it] Ahh? Devil Hunters? I didn't know that there were other exorcist groups! Hehe! Though I guess it makes sense, huh? I mean, it's not like there's just ONE of anything out there! They call that a... uh... [he snaps his fingers] Monarchy! ... Wait, no. Monopoly! Heh! There we go.

[oncedevil]

[Himself and his shadow of course!

He just kind of. Stares at Rin like he's grown a second head.]

Right.

[You're insane, and way too excited about this what is wrong with you.]

So, how about you tell me what it is you know about this thing?

[Unless you actually are hunting him in which case ha-haaah, good luck.]

[flashover]

[HE LOVES HIS JOB OK. Being an exorcist is totally the coolest! Rin pulls a little piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolds it]

Ahh, let's see here... [squuuiiint] Says that there's not much known about this demon! Just that it's a high level, very sneaky... been hanging around here for a few weeks and might be responsible for the disappearances of a few kids. [he looks over the paper at Dante] So what you think? That you? You steal kids? What, you wanna eat them, or something? Ha!

[oncedevil]

Do I look like I eat kids?

[Are you serious right now?]

Come on, man. Say, how do I know you're not the demon and you're just trying to throw me off with the idiot act? I've had more than enough of those to deal with and don't have time for any more you hear me?

[You've not reached the level of being as annoying as Jester yet, but you might be getting close.]

[flashover]

Well, you never know! A high level demon might take a human body to hide in. Though... you don't seem like you're just possessing that body... Nope, I'd say not! I guess that means you're pretty special.

[Hmmm. That's a good point. Rin taps his chin, trying to think of something] Well... if my fancy pin doesn't convince ya, maybe these will. [he opens up his cloak and takes out what looks like a grenade] Demons aren't going to be carrying around holy water grenades, now are they! Ah, even though I have to wear gloves when I use them... If that doesn't do it for ya, I don't know what then! Besides, I'm only half demon.

[oncedevil]

Yeah... something like that.

[He's still giving Rin the most dubiously suspicious look ever. How can you tell all that just by looking at him? He doesn't like it, not one bit. Though it doesn't look like the holy water grenades do a good job of impressing him, either. He's got those too, dude.

But that next part sure is interesting.]

You don't say? Well what a surprise. Don't tell me, your old man ditched out and left you to the wolves, so now you're on a quest for revenge, am I right?

[He could be entirely wrong but look at him making broad generalizations.]
