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

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.

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.*

[Yeah, not much he can do about that, but he passes well enough that Alastor should too. So long as he doesn't go flashing the fangs around too much.]

Good, alright, work on that purple thing while I'm out. Shouldn't be longer than a couple hours at most, you gonna be alright by yourself?

I'll be fine. I can't fly, but I still have magic if I need it.

Right. Sounds good, I'll be back.

[And with that he swooped out of the cave and off to 'acquire' some clothing for the kid. He couldn't get anything fancy, or well fitting, but that would probably work to their benefit anyway. Nothing to earn pity like a small child in ill-fitting, raggedy clothes right? It'll keep people from asking too many questions.]

*When Dante gets back, Alastor is trotting around the cave, trying to get the hang of moving on feet. It seems that at some point, he realized that it's possible to pick his heels up off the floor and run on the balls of his feet. Between the posture and the shortness of his outside toes, his feet almost look like they belong to some sort of bipedal dinosaur. He seems to be having fun, though.*
