rubycity_ooc | Time for something fun!

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

Directions

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".

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 want to sleep now.

*He's still rubbing at his eyes, the very picture of a drowsy little kid aside from the pointed ears, fangs and the fact that his anatomy has all the detail of a Ken doll. In fact, the kid doesn't seem to have a physical sex at all.*

[Which is really weird, and slightly off-putting. But at the same time there's no way Dante's teaching Alastor about those bits right now so you know what? Ken doll mode it is.

Little weird to consider that demons might not all have a gender. He'd ask, but the kid's tired so he'll leave him to it.]

Yeah, good idea. Get some rest. I got the door.

*He nods and toddles off to where he left Dante's coat, still a little unsteady on his new feet, then wraps himself up in the leather jacket and curls up with his arm as a pillow. After a moment, he glances back over at Dante.*

...Thank you.

[Well that comes as a surprise. He's quiet for a moment, just watching Alastor with an uncertain expression. It's not often he gets thanked for anything, sure it's not often he does much other than kill a few stray devils, but even then...]

Sure...

[What is taking gratitude? He does not know.

It's another several long moments before he moves, before Alastor falls asleep completely mind you, he gets up to shuffle over and lays down with his back facing the young devil. Still has to watch the cave entrance mind you, but he doesn't have to sit hunched up by the doorway all night.]

*He looks over when Dante gets up, but stays put and just wraps himself up more comfortably in the coat before closing his eyes.*

[He's not moving, just going to half-sleep watch the door all night while you rest. Dante hasn't really tired himself out yet, and honestly he doesn't sleep much as it is.]

*He wouldn't even sleep at all if he hadn't tired himself out. As it is, he still only stays out for a few hours before he yawns and sits up with a stretch.*

[Dante's still there, half-dozing when Alastor finally wakes. He doesn't bother moving just yet, but don't think he's not aware the devil's awake. Too lazy, even if the ground isn't incredibly comfortable.]

*He's a bit tense as he looks around and flexes his toes, then remembers how he got here and wobbles to his feet.*

I can't hunt like this...

[Dante finally props himself up on one elbow to look back at the little demon, letting out a huge yawn. Alright, alright, he gets the hint. Grumbling he gathers up his weapons while trying to brush his hair down into something reasonable.]

Yeah, yeah, sit tight. I'll see what I can scrounge up.

[He'd leave Alastor a weapon but, well, he saw what he did with that lightning. He'll be fine.]

Okay.

*He sits down...and promptly starts wiggling his toes again, staring at them in fascination. This feels weird. It's going to take some serious getting used to.*

[He'd already put his shoes back on at some point, so after snickering a bit at Alastor wiggling his toes he turns and heads out into the desert. He's bound to scrounge up something out there, right?

Turns out that something is a few snakes, lizards, and large burrowing rodents. Not exactly as impressive as Alastor's mountain lion, but it's food, right?]

*Better than nothing! He'll contentedly munch on Dante's catches, sitting crosslegged and once again getting blood all over his hands and face.*

[Bit of variety and they don't have to try to keep any of it, at least? But man you are a mess, gonna have to wash you up before they go into town again.]

You sure are a messy eater, we'll have to work on that too. Damn, how am I gonna blend you in?

It's hard not to be messy when what I'm eating is bleeding all over me.

Fair enough. You're still messy.

[He manages to not get himself completely bloody, but definitely seems to be having some trouble with the snake he's chewing on. More a moral dilemma than anything else, but too hungry to go scavenging for a fire right now.]

*He can fix that! He goes about licking his hands clean, then wipes his face with the back of his hand and licking that off too.*

Better?

[Don't mind the mildly mortified look. You're like a cat, a big, bloody, cat. He then just heaves a sigh. Well, it's an improvement.]

Yeah I... guess? Don't do that around people by the way they'll think you're nuts.

I won't be getting bloody around people anyway, will I?

Well I'd sure hope not. By the way, humans aren't food, so don't go trying to chew on any alright?

[Just getting that out of the way right now to be safe.]

*He nods and wobbles back to his feet, spreading his arms out for balance.*

I don't want to make enemies here.

[Hah, well you're starting to get it. Feel better?]

Right, that'd make things hell for us. Alright, so, think you can manage a bit more? Thinking about it, maybe you should practice while I go try to scrounge up something for you to wear. That coat's not gonna cut it.

*He nods, wobbling around in a loose circle.*

Flat teeth, right?

[He nods, then realizes that maybe that's not a great description so just bares his teeth at Alastor to give him an idea. Omnivore teeth, not herbivore. You can do it buddy.]

*He pokes his fangs a bit with his (still purple) tongue then focuses. Most of his teeth shrink and flatten, leaving just his canines sharp. A bit too sharp, but that can be blamed on the fact that he's basing them off of Dante's teeth.*
