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.

[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?

[oncedevil]

Hm?

[He glances at his snack, then shrugs offering it out to him.]

Sure have a go.

[Cooked is tasty too.]

Well, you're gonna scare the hell out of anyone else that sees you if you don't. Maybe I can throw my coat over your head in the meantime.

[Find somewhere to bunk down and hide. Actually... there might be a hollow in the rocks somewhere out here might do the trick? Not like he's got a place to speak of anyway.]

[superstylishsquid]

*He tears a chunk off the cooked leg with his claws and chews on it...then tears off another limb and brings it over to the fire. It's tastier like this.*

I can work on it. It shouldn't be too hard to look like a human.

[oncedevil]

[Hah! Taught a devil to almost cook, well appreciate cooked food anyway? What a weird night. Certainly never thought this would be a thing though, you're almost like a human in some ways. Minus the claws and eating mountain lions.]

Probably keep you outta the city until you've got it. Wouldn't want an angry mob on your tail.

[superstylishsquid]

That sounds painful.

*Was that a joke? Or just the naivety of youth? Hard to tell.*

But I know how to stay out of sight when I need to.

[oncedevil]

[He snorts a laugh, whether the joke was intentional or not it was pretty amusing.]

Well that's a relief. Don't think I can smuggle you out without anyone noticing, you'll get the whole city in an uproar.

[Demons aren't exactly well known or tolerated anymore. Mostly regarded as fairy tales.]
