I think it makes more sense to have you join our subthread rather than starting a new one. They'll get to the Kudzu's office in about three more posts, probably, unless the Marquis changes his mind about cooperating. We shall see.

OK, a broadsword is more Skeet's style, although he's still probably going to want to try and pick up his own weapons :)
As for the eyes, Skeet was brought up as a Christian, and probably defaults to it, although he's not a particularly religious person. So I'm guessing it would be very occasional flashes of blue? Would I be right in thinking that any 'Goddamnit's or other such minor blasphemies would result in flashes of red? Or is the red only a thing if you actively take a stance against God?
- Irish
The eyes don't respond to momentary things like that; they're blue, green, or red, period. I'm not quite sure if Skeet would have blue or green eyes. If, as the verse goes, he has "confessed with his mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe that God has raised Him from the dead," he will have blue eyes. In Alleble, it's called making the Good Confession.
In the end, I'll leave the decision up to you; green or blue.
Would you be interested in RPing Naergondir-in-Doc opposite Vania if I set up a scene? I don't really have any plans; we could either just have them talk, or have them leave the RC and do something. Whatever sounds interesting to you.
that Amy and Gurnirel will still be in RC1500 when Naergondir and Vania get there (seeing as they're on their way now)? Cos I'd be totally up for that - I think that Naergondir finding his body could be very entertaining.
- Irish
...but now I'm laughing at the thought of Naergondir meeting his body. I'm in too. Doctorlit?
~DF
Because I want to send Marvin somewhere. I don't want him and Printworthy meeting up just yet, though they will eventually.
Or does anyone want to be in the Kudzu? I'd like to have Jenni haul Marquis!Henry to her office in an attempt to figure out what's going on, only to have it be utterly unproductive. *eg*
~Neshomeh
...to get Brenda (Loringham) stuck there. Her experience of FicPsych is limited to a stay there and dropping off canons; she's likely to be very put off, and probably flabbergasted by being a Flower to begin with. Her partner could even come into play eventually, though I'd have to figure out who ended up in Brenda's body.
~DF
Is there already a place where the Brenda!Kudzu should be? Or should I start a new subthread with Brenda waking up as a Flower to which you and Araeph/the Marquis can reply once you've reached the appropriate point?

By the way, it's a hilarious subthread. I've been keeping an eye on it for a bit now.
~DF
It could be Steve in Brenda's body and the Kudzu in Steve's.
-A July, a most helpful Flame
I was vaguely (there's that word again) planning to borrow her to stick, uh, Steve in, for a ficlet (but not for RPing). If someone wants to actually use her, I'll gladly not do that, though.
hS
He's currently in Mirrad's office, looking for something to use as armour, having ended up in Nurse Mirrad's body.
It looks like most of the long chains so far are just between pairs. Would people be up for getting all of the FicPsych bodies together?
We could have a party! Or, y'know, a highly unproductive mess as everyone tries to figure out what's going on - one of the two, certainly :)
It would be best if we traveled in a group.
I only have one demand: that Printworthy be last. He is at the front desk, so we should catch him on the way out.
Have they been swapped? If so, just with each other? Or with other people? Are Legolas and Snape running around HQ in agents' bodies?
Or are canon characters immune to uncanonical mindswap devices?
...I would be very, very hesitant before bringing any canons into the RP.
I sense some neuralysing coming on...
Also, yes, I'm up for mass meeting.
Just as soon as the lazy hack writing me posts something for me. Apparently I'm due to take over the body of Nurse Elms.
Maybe we can play together?
So, my six-year-old character is stuck in the body of your adult Jedi. What should I know about this? *g*
~Neshomeh
Can't think of anything in particular that sets Kern aside from any other human Jedi. I've always imagined Kern as the slightly more cautious type, using Form III lightsaber combat (a very defensive stance, basically what Obi-Wan used in his duel against Grievous in Ep III). But most of that is personality; physically he's fairly burly and tall, so there's plenty of power for a 6 year old to misdirect!
I mean, the thought of a six year old with the strength/speed/reflexes of an adult Jedi is fairly scary...
Elcalion, dreading what would happen if his own 6 year old nephew suddenly developed Jedi powers
I mean, Jedi need a lot of mental discipline to use the Force, so I don't expect that simply having the physiological capability equates to practical ability. Er, right? Or is it like Potterverse magic, which can be triggered by untrained wizards in stressful situations? That's a scary thought!
Also, same question as July: Where's Kern likely to be of a Sunday night/Monday morning?
~Neshomeh
..where would Logan be?
Who is writing for Alice and Luxury (by which I mean Alice-in-Xericka and Luxury-in-Yellow-Rose-3)? Are their actions being left up to the people they interact with?
Luxury is after all Luxury, no matter the body.
Darkotas: beware, Eagrus has wilver hair; remove the helmet with caution! Also, he smells vaguely fruity.
Mister Shoebox: Cyba's Borg form takes a lot of getting used to. She has been known to accidentally break doors a lot (luckily her RC has been proofed against that now) due to enhanced strength. She gets hypnotized by the colour red and/or chases after it and has a strong taste for peas since a particular mission. She also suffers from (generally minor) Borg tendencies due to her implants.
He never had anything done about his eyes in the nine years or so it's been since he was blinded? Medical should surely be able to do something, be it growing new eyes for him or putting in bionics or whatever. I'd always just sorta wondered about it and couldn't remember if I'd ever asked.
Maybe this is me thinking about things in too much of an in-universe perspective, but I'd found myself wondering why someone who has had ample opportunity to fix the problem for a decade would just be all "Nah." Having every narrative consequence easily undone would be a bad precedent to set though.
... why he and every other agent in the PPC don't have implanted, impenetrable armour which can snap into place on a millisecond's notice, like they do in (among I am sure many other canons) the Ancillary Justice/Sword/Mercy trilogy. With replicator technology, it's trivially cheap to make, and improves survivability to, well, virtually 100%. Why would someone who has ample opportunity to become indestructible at zero cost to themselves just be all 'Nah'?
hS
Various DIA agents aside, the Flowers aren't actually planning to assault their agents - and if they did, they're psychics, so who cares about armour?
hS
...seems like a good way to get a mutiny happening. I think they'd find it an uncomfortable possibility.
But also, I think it'd do weird things with the disguises and the need to blend in with the canon on missions? At best, the armour vanishes when in disguise and is thus pointless 90% of the time.
It may have to do with the fact you can't take something away again that's already gone.
-July, thinking gruesome thoughts.
...but personally, I'd rather take that chance than spend a decade blind. No offence to actual sight-impaired people.
Does she have arms? Or does she use a spare snake-head or two to manipulate things?
Sorry for asking, but hydra can be different from franchise to franchise, so it's best to make sure.
Also, will she be in her DoI post, or is she off-duty?
She's a quadruped, and yes, she uses the heads to manipulate things. She's also (I think I said) small compared to what you might expect - as I said, horse rather than dinosaur. (I don't think she has wings, if for some reason anyone thinks she does?)
And she is on-duty as a DoI Action agent (or whatever the term is), so she's in a Response Centre or cubicle waiting to be sent out. She doesn't have a partner. I leave the rest entirely up to you.
hS
Riaa's in her body. Also, what is Jareth likely to be doing when Tera swaps in?
I'll play him so he and Riaa can interact if you want me to, but otherwise just assume he freaks out a little bit, then declares that he has to get back to FicPsych and leaves. I'm debating whether or not to give him a completely useless premonition about this event as it's happening, too. *g*
~Neshomeh
So, Narav is a giant wolf-guy. He's extremely strong, and has a riiculous sense of smell - his species can sniff out bloodlines. He will probably be in his RC, perhaps working on something involving his blood magic or taxidermy.
Tera has no real voice, though she can make chirring sounds. Her eyesight involves more colors than human sight does, and she in fact has five eyes. She can also turn invisible as need be. She'll probably be in her RC, with Ari and Theia.
These two are both relatively obscure species, so feel free to ask if there's any confusion.
Rosedale in Narav and Colt in Tera.
Fortunately I know Codex Alera as a canon! Nooot so much Nanoha. I saw from a mission that Tera can speak psychically, correct? Would you like a thread with Colt in the RC?
Though I had the Message Board in this one. Ignore it.
Seeing as I really don't have much in the way of references for how to portray my agent, feel free to drop me a line at either cjusher@sbcglobal.net or darkotas96@gmail.com if you want a basic rundown of stuff you may need to know. In terms of Bosh'Guk's shared body, the main thing you'll need to figure out is who holds control of the body at any given point. Whoever has the stronger will usually wins out, although the other individual can yank control if needed for comedic effect.
Do you mind where Bosh'Guk is at the start?
hS
I've been extremely busy with moving into a new house as well as classes. Anyway, Bosh'Guk is an ogre magi from Warcraft - the grand majority of two-headed ogres are casters. Bosh is the one who has the know-how to use magic - while Guk has the capability, he doesn't quite have the mental fortitude or patience/interest to learn how to use it. I'd say this extends to anyone in their shared body. While Bosh'Guk has magical ability, you have to know how to use it in order to do anything at all. Otherwise, he's still an ogre, with all the strength that implies.
I was havino a quandary about it since the options were "spring a surprise very close rp on two different people" or "have someone play with both their characters stuck in" so I chose option 2.b.
Something related to the character whose body Séverine is now inhabiting!
Séverine will be dealing with a very distressed emerald-colored Pernnese Fire-Lizard! Hope she knows how to deal with that...
I can't wait to write this now!
Good thing I've been reading Nesh's guide for fun!
I don't know how I managed to miss the unfinished sentence, I even double-checked that my link was right.
Also, Aaron was sleeping during the change.
I have some vague ideas of where things could go, but it's not necessary if you weren't planning on doing anything. I'll just have Natasha run into people in the hallways, instead of be in the
A few notes about Aaron Hunter, if you do want to do something: he has a Pip-Boy, was probably in the Fallout 3 underwear, and looks more or less like this. (His name is a pune, or play on words.)
I just meant I didn't have any particular idea what to do. I'll let you take the lead, since I have more concrete plans for my other characters.
If you make a post, I'll certainly respond to it, but I don't mind if you don't. I don't really have anything concrete planned either. So feel free to do whichever.
The potted fern and Castor are both Fic Pyc. Interesting coincidence. Clearly, fate keeps bringing these two together. I will have to think on why.
Just in case there was any confusion.
Since Agent Michael is now in control of Agent Amris' body, can you please drop me an email (address is sur DOT nhm AT gmail DOT com) so I could give you a rundown of what he's going to encounter?
Somehow, she's swapping both with Loquatious Imnac and with someone else. I'm not sure what to do there. O_o
...as well as apparently being on there twice somehow, one of those times didn't quite work? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious somehow. >_
Seeing as I have multiple agents, can I also do body-swaps between the ones I write? Like Sarah swapping with Ripper, for example?
The 'randomized' list was for people willing to have their agents be up for grabs by potentially anyone.
And I already know that Cupid got stuck in Solvig's body... We're already trying to sort things out XD
I'd provide protips for the one getting stuck in Cupid's body, but I think it was one of the Flowers who ended up having that happen to them. For reference, though, Cupid was at Rudi's at the time of the switch (right after a mission I have in the works), and he passed out like a drunkard just as it happened. Backslash will also be there, and, well... If anyone replies as the Bonsai Mallorn, you'll see soon enough. ;)
Cupid is simply a duplicate of Pit from Kid Icarus, so he's just a teenager with rad weapons and combat skills. He's also immortal and eternally youthful, meaning he can't succumb to alcohol poisoning. XD
Should I assume 'in the RC she shares with Library', or did that break up years ago?
hS
Nearly anywhere, honestly. July the Agent returned and repartnered up with Library until retiring, so JF has probably been a mostly solo agent because living and working with an essentially living uncautious flamethrower is harrowing at best.
Maths wise she's at least in her early 20s now.
In the interests of 'Not Another Startup Thread', I'll hold back until I can find something for Sal to drop into, and give the 'yay I can see OW FIRE' as a flashback.
(Oh, and, um - presumably she's not flammable? And presumably she has non-flammable clothes?)
hS
On the plus side there are a few options there?
She *and* her clothing are flammable in the literal sense of becoming fire. But it doesn't injure her and whatever she is wearing doesn't burn up. If it was a random item picked up, though, yes.
I've been assuming the one on the left 'hi, I'm on fire now'. Are you saying I should be imagining 'hi, I am fire now'?
(Was the picture necessary? Probably not! ^_^)
hS
I don't think Sal is going to be a happy bunny. ^_^
