Power Swap: My EYES! (open)

[Jeffrey Dougal]

Jeff hadn't felt weird when he woke up. He didn't feel strange as he took a shower or straightened his hair. He didn't notice anything off as he pulled on his clothes for the day. It was just a normal day to him. He was on the way to his morning class when a guy turned the corner in front of him. Jeff blinked.

The guy was naked. Jeff's eyes widened and he looked sideways. The guy didn't really seem to care. Jeff rubbed one of his eyes and then looked at him again.

He was dressed.

Jeff ducked into the nearest room. He was totally going crazy.

"Are you alright?" A girl asked him. He must have looked pretty strange, with his back pressed against the door like that. He turned to look at the girl to explain to her about what he just saw.

But her face....he saw bone. He covered his eyes and took a few steps away.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!" He chanted over and over again.

Weird things had been happening around Hammel lately. It was like people had suddenly received new powers and didn’t know how to handle themselves. Prepare yourselves everyone, for a miniature world war three. Jalen had been chilling in the student lounge, trying to catch up on all her homework. It had taken a while to get out of her personal slump, but she figured now that she was out of it (and the constant itch of needing to finish things was on her mind) she decided to put her muse to good work and get her shit done.

Through the window into the hall, the blonde noticed a boy who looked like he had just seen a ghost. She set her things down, approaching him. “Hey, are you alright?” She asked him, giving him a weird look as he pressed himself up behind the door. “More people are probably going to walk through that, so I wouldn’t stand there if I were you,” she said, trying to be nice about it. He was obviously freaked out over something. Maybe someone was chasing him.

He looked at her, about to say something, but instead he flipped out and began backing away from her. Jalen rubbed at her face, pulling her fingertips in front of her to have a good look at them. Hmm, there wasn’t anything abnormal on them, like blood. “Is there pen on my face or something?” She asked, looking over the boy again. There was something wrong here. “Do you need to go to the infirmary?” She asked, a bit of concern in her eyes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t funny.

Jeff had seen those medical shows that showed what insides looked like. Jeff didn't particularly mind those shows--he would watch them if nothing else was on (like literally nothing else)--but seeing the gore on TV and seeing someones skull with his own eyes was something completely different. He had seen the cracks in the bones, empty eye sockets, the holes that was actually the nose....everything. He was lucky he didn't throw up because of just how nasty it was.

She continued to talk to him--how she spoke without lips or a tongue, he wasn't sure. He ground his palms into his eyes to get rid of whatever it was. They ached. He peeked sideways at her, but her face was normal. He blinked and looked more clearly. Her face was fine...

Actually it was very pretty. He blushed deeply.

"I...I do not know what is going on. I---I---I saw your skull," he rambled faintly to himself in Korean, trying to puzzle out what the hell was going on, but he didn't have any idea. The shock was starting to lose it's edge, and the embarrassment was starting to sink in. It was just like Jeff to make a total fool out of himself in front of a pretty girl. Just. Like. Him.

"I do not know what is going on. Maybe I should get looked at...." now that he thought about it, it was probably a good idea, but at the moment, everything looked as it should.

Jalen had her head cocked to the side, watching him flinch under her gaze. Was she really that intimidating? Hmm, maybe she should try and work on being more nice to people, and not so threatening. The look he once had melted away though, and he was blushing. She smirked as he spoke, realizing what was going on.

“It’s not supposed to do that,” she said, touching her face gingerly again, “not usually anyways.” Okay, so maybe now wasn’t the best time to joke around, especially considering how disturbed the boy looked. “Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. Are you gonna be alright...?” She would have put his name in the blank, but she really hadn’t seen him around before.

“I think some people here are experiencing a kind of power change, I guess you’re one of the lucky ones,” she said with a shrug, trying to be nonchalant about it so that the boy would calm down. “I’m sure it’ll pass, probably don’t want to bother the nurses with something they can’t fix for the time being.” She wasn’t sure if that was going to help or not, but if he absolutely insisted on going, she would accompany him and make sure he didn’t yell at any more people.

“What was your power before?” She asked, trying to get his mind off of the situation.
