The Who's In Who's Body List. Teams wise.DEATH P.A.C.T Yet Again -Tree -> FannyFanny -> TreeMarker -> GatyGaty -> MarkerPin and Black Hole don't get swapped.CloudYAYPencil -> PillowPillow -> Golf BallGolf Ball ->PencilWinner -> DonutDonut -> WinnerYellow Face doesn't get swapped.Everyone else is fine, Two is just like "....well fuck" As X and Four help the contestants get their barrings in their new bodies - also giving them little name tags too.Why doesn't anyone else get swapped? Because fic-lore wise they weren't there when the swap happened, and thus couldn't be affected. (This applies to Pin and Yellow Face. Black Hole is an enigmatic being and thus wasn't affected.)
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
If you had told Tree that he'd be swapped into the body of his friend and be forced into living as her for a couple days - he wouldn't have believed you. Yet here he is.Staring into the bathroom mirror for probably the thousandth time...It wasn't him.Yet it was.Just as he was starting to get used to being in Fanny's body - Fanny in Tree's body walks in, causing Tree to feel even more fucking disoriented."...Dear God am I seriously THAT fucking short?" Fanny asks, having already gotten used to being in Tree's body due to being forced to watch Freaky Friday over and over again as a kid.Out of everyone - Tree and Fanny were two out of at least six people who were actually respecting the body they had been swapped into, Tree appreciating that Fanny was maintaining his hair care routine, and respecting his clothing style - Tree doing the same for her."...Yeah, You're this short." Tree responds bluntly, God he hated this. Got top surgery, was starting to feel great again only for CloudYAY to fuck it up by messing around with one of Golf Ball's devices.Fanny meanwhile? Man she was loving this- "I feel like a fucking prince-" She mumbles, looking into the mirror as well, "Is it bad I actually kinda like this? Like, Yeah, I want my body back too - it's MINE, but like, Goddamn.""...Is this your way of flirting or are you just happy you're no longer short?" Tree asks with a small grin before deciding to actually answer, "In all seriousness, nah, I don't think it's bad, when I was your age - if I got swapped into the body of a guy I'd be reacting the same way." He shrugs."So like...What's OUR skin care routine?" Fanny asks, looking at Tree."I'll use whatever you use and you use what I use-" As Tree starts to answer, the two of them hear a loud thud coming from the main living space of the teams bedroom, followed by two pained groans.Fanny exhales and opens the bathroom door to peer out at Marker and Gaty, "Hey, what the fuck are you two doing?" She asks, walking out and looking at the two of them."...We wanted to see if running at each other full speed would put us back into our own bodies." Gaty answers, wanting out of Marker's body as soon as possible.Tree walks out of the bathroom too, "And uh, how's that working out?"The silence that followed was telling, Fanny and Tree looking at each other and then back at Gaty and Marker."Thought so." Fanny says, walking over and helping the two of them up."Why and How are you two so calm?" Gaty asks."She had to watch Freaky Friday as a kid, kinda desensitised her." Tree answers, walking over, standing next to Fanny and immediately regretting it as Fanny proceeds to use his head as an armrest with a grin on her face."I can see why you do this now." She muses, clearly enjoying not being short at the moment.Tree begins to regret every time he's ever used Fanny as an armrest, he couldn't even keep count on how many times that was. "...You're enjoying this way too much..." He mumbles.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
CloudYAY were coping with the body-swapping thing...Decently - Winner and Donut just going over each others hair care routines, Golf Ball managing to make Pencil's clothes fit into her aesthetic just a bit, Pencil was just having fun with Pillow's clothing styles...Yet Pillow was having fun...Too much fun while in Golf Ball's body.Pillow quickly found out she could hide in places she couldn't in her own body, taking advantage of Golf Ball's short stature. Why was she doing this? It was fun. Killing was already a blast in her own body, but now that she could hide and hunt? GOD it was exhilarating, her heart thumping in her chest in excitement at what she was doing, her first targets? Fanny and Tree. Why? Cause they were there. Better to just take what's there instead of wasting the opportunity for the perfect kill, plus, they were in the library - making easy to corner them.The two were too busy talking to notice her slowly approaching, every time one of them glanced around - Pillow just hid behind whatever was closest to her, her newfound height (that wasn't ever hers so-to-speak) making it way too easy to sneak up on them.It was going well, until she got too cocky and overconfident, knocking a heavy book off of a shelf, and before she could even try to hide - it was too late, Tree and Fanny turning to look at her, it was almost adorable - their reactions that is, Tree obviously forgetting he was in Fanny's much shorter body seeing as he immediately stood in front of Fanny as if to shield her from any danger, despite her being in his much taller body."Awe, that's cute." Pillow says cheerfully, taking her knife out of her pocket, walking closer to the duo, watching in amusement as Fanny grabs Tree and pulls him back, placing herself in front of him."You're scarier as yourself." Fanny deadpans, keeping Tree behind her as if she was some hero, but Pillow could see the fear in those eyes, she knew Fanny, even in someone else's body Fanny couldn't seem to shake the slight fearful undertone in her tone.Pillow doesn't even respond, deciding to just walk closer, watching her prey try and look around for an escape -"Get away!" Tree yells, grabbing a box cutter from a nearby reading-table, reaching around Fanny just to point it at Pillow, who stops walking just to let out a small amused huff.She steps closer, not that surprised as Fanny shoves her back, not stumbling due to having seen that coming, "Wow, such violence, and I thought you'd be a gentleman." Pillow mocks, twirling her knife around like it's a fidget toy, gripping the handle before rushing at Fanny and Tree - The two of them having a brief moment were they both try to push the other out of the way before Tree decides to let Fanny push him out of the way, Fanny managing to push Tree to safety and also dodge Pillow's attack - instead of hitting flesh the blade of Pillow's knife ending up embedded in the wood of a table.Pillow manages to yank her knife out of the table and immediately goes after Tree, deciding he'd be an easier target, she goes over to where he is and attempts to go after him to kill him only, she fails, Fanny coming up from behind her, hitting her on the head with a hardcover book, rendering Pillow unconscious long enough for Fanny to grab Tree and run out of the library, most likely going back to Death P.A.C.T Yet Again's room.When Pillow finally came to, she was quite frankly pissed that she didn't succeed in killing...Maybe Golf Ball's body WASN'T that much of an advantage...
