Power Swap: Open Up My Eager Eyes (OPEN)

[Thomas "Monroe" Montgomery]

September 5, 2013

Monroe wasn't sure how many times he'd fallen asleep in the grass in the courtyard under one of the many trees. Another couple months and it wouldn't be an option anymore unless he planned on bundling up a lot to come out here, in which case he'd probably still freeze.

He was usually so paranoid of falling into other's dreams that he tried not to fall asleep, but when his eyes fluttered open after an accidental nap, he looked at his cell phone with blurred eyes to see the time. 6:02. Holy shit. He'd come outside a little after noon.

Rubbing his eyes again, he sat up and took in his surroundings. There were several people in the courtyard, one of which was snoring on a nearby bench, apparently having fallen asleep in the sun. He stared at them for a second. What? If they were sleeping...

He hadn't remembered a dream of any kind. How...? He got up slowly from the ground and made his way over to the sleeping figure. Their chest was slowly rising and falling. They really were asleep.

There was an extra spring in his step as he walked and he was confused as to why he felt energetic. How had he slept a full six hours without any interruption from someone's dream? Especially that person on the bench? Had there been a glitch in his power? What was going on?

Oooooooooooooooo!

Wings!!

Pretty!!

Brooke gleed at the sight of them, as she looked in the mirror and fluttered dust all over herself. She had no idea what was going on, but this dust was the shits!! Of cooourse, Brooke was going to go nuts with this.

In a white dress, barefoot, and a pixie wand that she happened to have for no good reason, Brooke leaped like a ballarina or a sugar-plum fairy across the courtyard, across the campus, across everything as she tried to spread her loooove to everyone she met!

She stopped in front of a confused looking blob that might have been familiar if she didn't think he looked like one of those dancing crocodiles from Fantasia. "Helllooooo~ good sire! I am the happiness fairy and I have a gift for you!!" With that she tapped the crock on the head with her wand and spun around, fluttering her pixie dust right in his face. "Behold! You are happy! Toodles!"

And with that, she bounded off....and took to the sky.


((ooc: Brooke was just passing through, someone else please enter!! XDD))

[Lani Hunter]

Well Lani was now officially confused. When he'd woken this morning his alarm was blaring and it hadn't tried to take flight and suicide against the wall. He sat up in confusion and when he thought about shutting it off nothing happened. He blinked in confusion and hit it with his hand. He rolled out of bed too tired and confused for the depression to hit him quite yet. Mornings were always better, he hadn't yet had time to dwell on the fact that he was alone yet. He navigated the treacherous ground that was his floor to the bathroom. He flipped on the light preparing himself to see how bad he looked this morning, it had been pretty bad the past few mornings, dark circles, a ragged appearance despite sleeping a lot. "Holy!" Lani yipped in shock when he caught his face in the mirror. The hell? He poked his face and slapped it lightly to see if he was awake or still dreaming. And was startled by the state of his hand.

His face was a dark gray color and when he looked down at himself he realized his whole body was gray and had a very soft texture. almost like fabric. He rubbed his fingers together to bewildered to focus on anything but the fact that he was now a sheet! He glanced at his bed suspiciously and wondered if someone had slipped him something. Well, he was officially confused. Lani recalled one moment in time when everyone's powers went haywire. He'd sprouted wings and... And it struck. Lani sucked a breath determined not to let himself fall to pieces again. He was not going to think of his ex. Not today. No, he was determined. But he was already failing. Seeing the red hair and the bright eyes. Dammit! Lani put his fabric-y fist to the mirror and yelped. His skin - fabric? - skin rippled and suddenly a hard reflective material ran up his arm and when he looked up again he was a mirror.

"What the hell is going on?" He yelped seeing the mirror man's lips moving. It was so strange to be a mirror and be looking in a mirror. It was messing with his eyes. How did he get back to skin? A tad panicked Lani decided the only thing to do was get dressed and head to Hammel. At least there he was in a controlled environment and someone had to know what was going on. As he touched his jeans he turned into jeans and then his tee shirt material. Skin, he wanted skin. It wasn't working, he stuffed his feet into shoes, great now he was fake leather. Finally he put on his favorite hoodie safety blanket. To Hammel. He made it out of the apartment and ended up being metal before he opened the main door and was now glass. He could only image what he must look like. He watched his hands fascinated for a moment. They reflected and refracted light, it wasn't just his skin either it was all the way through, it felt a tad stiff but he could move just fine. This was so strange.

He thankfully made it to Hammel with only a minor amount of people turning their heads to look at him strangely. He was making his way through the courtyard intent on finding someone who might know what was going on. He watched a girl with pixie wings bop someone on the head and he wandered over to the person who seemed just as confused as he was. "Hey... um... you wouldn't happen to be having problems with your power today, would you?" Lani asked his clear glass eyes clicked a little as he blinked. This was a little too strange for him. Maybe he should just go back to bed and start over tomorrow. Well, at least this was a good distraction and he wasn't thinking about Odion at the moment.
