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.

I didn't expect you to show me the way...

*You were kind of acting like you were going to kill him, after all.*

[oncedevil]

Hnph.

[Don't say it like he's doing something nice because he's totally not. He's just making up for you saving his hide. And besides, he thought you were going to kill him, too.]

Not far now.

[Past a few ugly warehouses and whatnot, and bam... desolate and ugly. But there's food out there somewhere, you just have to really look for it.]

[superstylishsquid]

*He lands and sniffs the air, looking for the scent of anything that could be prey.*

The wind's good, at least.

[oncedevil]

[He looks up at the sky, squinting at the moon, then gives a shrug. He wouldn't know?]

Is it? Well, out in those bluffs I'd imagine there'd be something. Don't ask me what, I don't have any idea.

[But he's just going to sit here and wait for you to do whatever you're going to do, because he's got nothing better to do despite his lies earlier.]

[superstylishsquid]

*He sniffs for a few moments longer, then bares his teeth in an excited grin and takes off to the sky and out of sight...*

[oncedevil]

[He'll just be having a nap for whenever you get back. If you do. Otherwise he's just sleeping in the desert like a weirdo, no big deal.]

[superstylishsquid]

*He comes back a while later with a dead mountain lion in his bloody claws. He plops it down on the dry ground, then lightly pokes Dante's side. He might be getting a bit of blood on your coat there, sorry.*

[oncedevil]

[It's okay he already bled on it earlier. He does nearly jump right out of his skin at being poked though, maybe rampaging around tired him out a little more than he'd like to admit and he was sleeping a bit heavier than normal.]

Woah! Geeze, don't do that.

[Do what? We don't know, but he's scrubbing at his face to try to wake up when he notices wow you came back... with a mountain lion???? You sure pick funny things to eat, dude.]

...Deer's not hardcore enough for you, huh?

[An amused snort. Geeze that's a big kill. Are you going to eat all of that?]

[superstylishsquid]

I wanted something big.

*Don't mind him just skinning it with his claws right there. Don't want to eat the fur, yuck.*

Especially since I wanted to give you some for showing me where to find it.

[oncedevil]

You sure do have an appetite.

[Good thing he's not after people, huh? Taking down a mountain line is no small task. Also wow claws are handy.]

What, really? [Surprised... but he is hungry. What could it hurt? Beats begging.] Ah... thanks, you didn't have to.

[Demons do everything in trades, though it must be strange for Dante to be offering his portion first without asking for anything in return, isn't it?]

[superstylishsquid]

*Give things away too much and you get taken advantage of once people realize they can. So yes, it does seem strange.*

I pay back debts.

*He's making quick work of the skin, too. His claws might be soft still, but they're sharp and he knows what he's doing.*

[oncedevil]

[He doesn't do it often, but you seemed harmless enough. Enzo gets nothing, because he's greedy and manipulative. And a huge cheat. Besides, someone covering for Dante is a pretty huge deal, especially a demon? Where did this kid come from that isn't instantly out for his blood?]

Alright, I'm just saying it wasn't that big a deal.

[But whatever, he won't argue about a free meal. Doesn't have anything to build a fire with, though. Hm... He does get up to go try to scrounge for some brush or something, maybe he can figure something out.]

[superstylishsquid]

*In the meantime, he'll start tearing into the raw meat. He doesn't seem to care that he's getting blood all over his face and hands.*

[oncedevil]

[...Going to have to teach you some table manners isn't he? He sets about trying to make a fire, using a rock and his sword blade with some dry brush to... not very impressive effect. A few sparks, no good really.]

[superstylishsquid]

*Yes, yes you are. But he pauses in his eating to watch Dante.*

What are you trying to do?

[oncedevil]

Trying to build a fire.

[Frustratingly it isn't working. Sigh.]

[superstylishsquid]

You mean like this?

*Zap! It's not much of a bolt of lightning, but it's easily enough to set brush on fire.*

[oncedevil]

[Oh! Man he really should have asked in the first place. You sure make a handy lighter.]

A devil of many talents I see.

[Okay well while you eat he'll just hack off a limb to roast that'll do the trick!]

Gotta say, never met a demon like you before.

[superstylishsquid]

Lightning magic is useful.

*He tilts his head as Dante starts roasting the meat. What's he doing that for?*

But what do you mean?

[oncedevil]

[Typically humans don't eat meat raw, that's why.]

Usually they just try to kill me right off the bat. It's a real pain in the ass.

[superstylishsquid]

*He doesn't know that! He doesn't know anything about humans other than that they don't really have magic of their own.*

There's no point to killing you, you don't have anything I want and there's easier things to eat. Besides, even if I was that hungry, I know you're stronger than me.

[oncedevil]

[They are also pretty delicate compared to demons. Touchy digestive systems, can't even handle a little bit of spoilage.]

Doesn't seem to stop anyone else.

[He huffs, but alright, he'll take it. But wow, how far out of the loop can this kid really be?]

So you really don't know how to get back?

[superstylishsquid]

*4300 years out of the loop.*

I don't even know how I got here. I didn't know anything about the human world until today.

[oncedevil]

[He is in for the worst surprise.]

That's gonna be a problem.

[Cooked enough! He starts to tear into his meal, man was he starving this came just on time.]

Speaking of, you got any way to hide those wings, dude? People are gonna know something's up you go wandering around like that. It's nowhere near Halloween.

[superstylishsquid]

I haven't really studied shapeshifting yet...but I know enough about it that I might be able to manage with some practice.

*He looks down at the raw meat, then over at Dante's.*

Can I try some of that?
