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.

Be careful.

[He twirls his spear to try and attack from another angle.]

Or else it'll be just me.

[boarrowedyourwife]

[Diarmuid laughs and it's a harsh, sharp sound.]

I know you are crazy, but if you really believe that, it's a whole new level of crazy you are visiting today.

[He drops into a roll to avoid the spear thrust, lashing out with the longer of his spears as he goes by Cu Chulainn. He hopes to catch the other Lancer in the knees with it.]

[verybaddog]

[He jumps into the air, aiming to land right on the shaft of the other Servant's spear.]

Sometimes crazy works, you know.

[boarrowedyourwife]

And sometimes crazy is just crazy, my crazy friend.

[Diarmuid doesn't bother to jerk his weapon away. Instead, he merely unsummons it, striking out with his other weapon in hopes of catching Cu Chulainn unbalanced since what he was looking to land on is no longer there.]

But crazy is always fun, so I will not complain.

[verybaddog]

[Having his footing pulled out under him indeed unbalances Cu Chulainn, allowing the shaft of Diarmuid's spear to slam into his side and send him rolling.]

Glad you see things my way.

[If they're going to go all out crazy, he might as well as use his runes for help. He sketches the ansuz rune to send a burst of fire at the other Lancer.]

[boarrowedyourwife]

There you go! I wondered how long it would take for you to get serious!

[Diarmuid could dodge the fire, but instead of doing so, he merely activates Gae Dearg's ability and swings his spear around, bringing the head into contact with the fire. The fire sputters and goes out, cut off from the energy that created it. A small laugh leaves Diarmuid's mouth as the last bits of the flame brush passed his face.]

Of course, it is nowhere near enough! Keep trying though. I would hate for you to give up so soon!

[And, without waiting for a response, Diarmuid launches himself at Cu Chulainn again.]

[verybaddog]

[He tsks his tongue.]

You think just one cheap trick would make me give up?

[He sketches a speed rune to give him an extra burst of speed as he blocks Diarmuid's blow.]

You're the one who's outmatched here.

[boarrowedyourwife]

Oh, so now you are crazy and delusional. What more will you add today, my friend?

[Diarmuid laughs and then rides the force of the block, flipping airborne and over the head of the other Lancer. However, he doesn't wait to land before striking out with his lances again.

The fact that he is attacking upside down doesn't seem to bother him at all.]

[verybaddog]

[Lancer doesn't bother to dodge the descending spears. Instead, he thrusts upward with his spear, hoping to use the length of his weapon to his advantage.]

How about deadly?

[boarrowedyourwife]

Ha! Only if you have better tricks to show me than that!

[When Diarmuid sees the spear coming at him, he doesn't even blink. Instead, he shifts the direction of his own spear thrusts so that one blocks Cu Chulainn's attack while the other clashes against Gae Bolg's shaft hard. He hopes to knock the weapon from the other Lancer's grasp.]

[verybaddog]

[Lancer has to struggle to hold on to his spear. He ends up taking a few steps back because of the force of the clash.]

Now, now. I thought you were the patient one out of us two.

[boarrowedyourwife]

What if I don't feel like being patient today?

[Diarmuid grins as he lands, spears crossing in front of him lazily.]

Why don't you be patient while I go wild?

[verybaddog]

Because I feel wilder than usual today.

[He takes two deep whiffs of the other Lancer's scent.]

...You're not quite the same man as you were before, aren't you?

[boarrowedyourwife]

Does it matter?

[Diarmuid shrugs, lowering his weapons slightly and giving the other Servant a strange look.]

You aren't exactly the same either, but I can't say I mind the change. Or...

[A sharp, mischievous look enters his eyes.]

Is that just your way of saying you're scared of the new me?

[verybaddog]

What are you talking about? Of course not. I just looked forward to surprising you. You were so naive before.

[boarrowedyourwife]

Was I? Or did I just want you to think I was so I could laugh at how easily I could make you think you'd surprised me?

[Diarmuid draws his weapons back up into ready position, his body tensing as he does.]

You may be a good fighter, but sometimes you are far, far too trusting!

[And, without another word, Diarmuid launches himself full force at the other Servant.]

[verybaddog]

[Suddenly, this conversation has become much less enjoyable. It rankles to consider the possibility that someone he has once called a friend might be manipulating him.]

Damn you.

[He snarls as he charges back into battle. He lets his spear vanish and reaches out to grab at the other Servant's spears with his bare hands.]

[boarrowedyourwife]

[Diarmuid laughs harshly, enjoying too much the other Servant's reaction. However, instead of trying to shake the other Lancer loose from his weapons, he just dismisses them and throws himself at the other man.]

Is that all I needed to do to get your really into this? I should have said something silly like that before!

[verybaddog]

[Lancer lashes back at the other Servant with a punch.]

Oh, and what kept you back? Were you just too much of a coward?

[boarrowedyourwife]

[Diarmuid deflects the punch with his arm, at the same time lashing out with one leg to try and take out one of the other Servant's legs.]

Beat me and maybe I will tell you. That is...if you think you can beat me!

[verybaddog]

[He jumps over the kick and aims a flying kick at the other Servant's head.]

That should be easy enough!

[boarrowedyourwife]

So you think!

[Diarmuid bends backward to avoid the kick and then rolls off to the side, diving back in at the other Lancer's legs as soon as he touches down from his jump.]

[verybaddog]

[Lancer is knocked off balance by his opponent's move. He falls to the ground, but that doesn't stop him from aiming more kicks toward the other Lancer's face.]

[boarrowedyourwife]

[Diarmuid is pleased that he managed to knock his friend down, but he doesn't have much time to enjoy it because he has to dodge the kicks aimed at him. The first one connects hard, not with his head, but his shoulder causing him to snarl and launch himself toward the other Servant's head and arms to avoid getting hit again.]

[verybaddog]

[Lancer grins when he sees the other Lancer lose his cool. He raises his arm to block his friend's next attack.]

How about it? Ready to give up now?
