~Good Morning.~

~I am happy to say that the switch worked. Of course, there was a little... er... "bump" in the system. Scilph, Claude and I were about ready to drop in the final component when it... uhm... flew away. I'll tell you about that later. We were trying to catch it when Atlantica (in Pacifica's body) burst the door down and screamed "WE'RE HEEEEEEERE!" Pacifica was trying to restrain Nobody the Cat. There was lots of yowling, shrieking, and general commotion as Nobody leapt out of Paci's arms and tried to knock over the cauldron. She began to cough and wheeze when she started choking. At that point, Claude acted quickly and preformed the Hiemlech Manuver, making Nobody cough up a spit-covered Luceat. Well, this was perfect, because the final ingredient... was a pixie.~

=Yecch. I can't believe we had to DRINK that.=

~Just be happy you're in your body again. Oh, and I truly am! I missed you, paws! I missed you, dress!~

=I missed not wearing a dress.=

~Anyways, as soon as Scilph got back in her body, she went straight back to her room. She was talking loudly about how her art flow was intensified because she had her hands back. After giving Morris a quick hug, she shut herself away. You can hear her scribbling in her sketchbook like mad.~

~Nobody has, thankfully, returned to her sense. We gave her some sprinkles and she calmed down some. Thank goodness.~

~I am going to eat some salmon and take a long, long nap. Or.. I'll have some Green Tea.~

"Nobody, come back!!" *cat hissing and sound of scratching* "NO! Not the curtains!!" *Sound of fabric tearing* "We...Have...To...Go ...So...We..." *more hissing* "Can...Switch...Back!! Attie, help me restrain Nobody!" "But it's so much fun watching you play tag!" "Attlantica!" *sound of @Pacifica and @*Atlantica* tackling Nobody, followed by hissing and scratching* "GOT HER! Let's bring her back to the room before something happens." "Ok, Paci. But where's Luceat?" "..." "And why isn't Nobody opening her mouth?" "I don't know. Let's just hurry up and get to Nobody's dorm so we can switch back. I can't take another day of your classes".

The potion will be ready soon enough. *cough cough* I hope these fumes are natural.

I will add the final component. We have dragged Scilph from her room, gotten Claude... now all we need are Attie, Nobody, and Paci. I can't wait to be a cat again. Human bodies really suck. I mean, why do you have such weird bellybuttons? *cough* Also, fingernails. I'm really also not fond of hair quantities. It's SO awful that the largest amount of hair is on my head. Ech.

Anyway, Scilph is very thrilled about the complements. She will soon complete Pacifica's drawing once she gets back to her own body. ("Yes! I cannot wait. Nobody's body is nice, but green and purple leopard spotted hair is not my pattern." Right.) Okay. *cough cough*

We're about ready. sweet. I'll be waiting, you three!

We're almost done cleaning up our dorm room! This place was a MESS after yesterday when @Nobody, that pixie cutie, and I were trapped in here! We had all sorts of escape plans, but most of them resulted in failure and destruction of my various knick knacks! At least we were developing bestie teamwork skills!!!! Lucky for us, the cure for our body swap will he ready in twenty minutes. I can't WAIT to be back to normal again! @Pacifica may look human enough, but her body is all synthetic! Her hair is so stiff, I can't get it out of it's stupid hair tie! Why won't she leave it free to flow in the wind like mine??? ("Because, I focus on functionality Atlantica. You know that." Haven't you EVER listened to @Matching by Mattie, Paci? FASHION IS KEY! "I think the less I listen to Mattie the happier I'll be." I think you just need a HUG! *surprise tackle hug* "Ah! Attie don't!" Don't fight the love sis!)

Oh, and I just saw the super cool pictures @Scilph drew of some of us students! So cool Scilphy!!!!! You really know how to draw! I especially liked Eralonia's angry poses, and me singing Katy Perry! Who know having a AAB (Awesome Artist Bestie) would result in awesome art?!?!? (*Pacifica shuffles over* "Well, she certainly caughtthe essence of your crazy, Attie." You mean my enthusiasm for all the wonderful people and things in the world?!!!?? "...Yeaaaah... hey, would you check on the 'captives' Nobody and Luceat? Maybe bring some of those oatmeal cookies you made to them? I heard they went quiet and I'm worried that they passed out or something. I assume you're the most likely to connect with them in their delusional states." Oh, that? No worries Paci! They're just plotting revenge and doom for all inhabitants in Psyhigh! Silence is Phase One! "...We need to stop this. NOW." Can I still bring cookies? "...Yes. They're too delicious to leave behind. Now hurry up, we're running out of time!")

>=*hacking cough* Can't breath *eye twitch* can't...think *gagging* need.. SPRINKLESSSSS
Luceat has preformed the ritual to welcome me into the tribe. He has respect for cats like myself, and agrees that we should not be denied sprinkles. My new brother Luceat and I have fully developed our *choking cough* plan. It has been hard *maniacal laugh* since neither of us (neeeed sprrriiinkkllllessss) is thinking very...clearly. Pixies need fresh air and contact with green growing things or else they weaken and die. This he has disclosed to me, as we have quickly because close friends. I need sprinkles (SPRINKLES) or else I weaken and die. This I have disclosed to him. *dry chest throbbing cough* We have heard that our captors plan to move us to The Room at 9 o'clock. THIS IS WHEN WE SHALL STRIKE. He has limited pixie magic left; in a cat's body (the body of the very cat who has betrayed me!!!! And cut of my sprinkle supply!![SPRINKLES] Or is this my true body and I have always been a cat??) I have claws and limited telekinesis ability that seems to have traveled(?) with my mind. We intend to strike while our captors are at their weakest. We shall interrupt the flow of their potion with our limited powers and open a portal!!! Through this portal shall come our King and Savior; Scintillula! We shall give him the body of his Chosen Queen and in exchange he shall welcome us back to the tribe give us SPRINKLES. NO LONGER SHALL WE BE TAUNTED AND CALLED MOTHS. NO LONGER SHALL WE BE DEPRIVED OF WHAT WE NEED MOST. SPRINKLES AND SUNLIGHT AND REVENGE SHALL BE OURS. THE SCHOOL SHALL PERISH UNDER THE MIGHT OF OUR TRIBE. *hysterical laughter that shifts into coughing fits* Need...sprinkles....=>

Hey, Pacifica. Good luck with that peregrine situation; hope that poor window is okay. This is Eralonia speaking. Uh... as of an update, things are going... moderately. I guess. I have successfully added the correct ingredients in the correct order. I have not dropped Journal in. I have been able to raise Scilph's grades a bit... you're welcome. She's still holed up in her room, drawing. I hope @Nobody hasn't started school yet. By the way, I haven't heard her yowling for awhile. I wonder what's up?

Anyway. The potion is coming along well. I just need to let it simmer for awhile, then add the final component once everyone is in the room. The potion will set off approximately 3.14 seconds after I drop the last ingredient in. Easy breezy. I think this will work out. I hope. Damn.

{Geh. Watching Nobody is difficult. She and Luceat seem to be... talking. It scares me.}

Talking? Oh, man... keep an eye on them. The potion should be ready by tonight. Just... just tide them over somehow.

{First I need to get Scilph to take a shower.}

*muffled* (I will not be leaving my room untilI at least finish these rough sketches!)

Please finish before 9:00, that's when the potion will be completed.

(I will try... Until then, I am staying here. Maybe I shall show you some pictures of the art so far! Only...)

Only what?

(They are sideways. My Journal's picture-taking properties are not very good, so tilt your head to the left. I am very sorry for the inconvenience!)

(So... here is Eralonia: http://imgur.com/3KPliUk

@Matching by Mattie: http://imgur.com/KfiwgYK
and @Gretel: http://imgur.com/4gVy0jh
I hope you liked them! I worked quite hard on these sketches...)

These look nice! I'm very cute, wouldn't you say?

=~Feh, why didn'tcha draw me?~=

(I did not have time yet.)

This isn't your dorm. Leave.

{Wow! These are great, Scilph! I love your art.}

(Uwaah, you are just saying that~!)

{...It's hard to flirt with you when there's a door in front of my face.}

(Seeing other people will interrupt my art flow. Any-the-ways, I am not sure if these links will work... so tell me if you cannot properly access my drawings, and I will correct my mistake! Thank you!)

Anyway, I need to get back to Nobody's Dorm to continue the potion-making. I'll see you all around.

Testing... testing... oh, good! I'm in. Pacifica here, still trapped in my ridiculous sister's ridiculous body. But at least I've hacked the journals so I can post under the correct profile. One of the benefits of living in a cyborg body: you really understand computers.

I wish I was back in my robody-- er, robot body -- right now. I missed having all this soft flesh and flexibility, but I can't STAND @*Atlantica*'s classes anymore! The kids in there are so... GAH! Then again, what should I expect from a class titled "The Magic Behind Hugs and Positivity"? *massages temples* If I hear the phrase "Think happy, and you'll be happy!" one more time I'm going to THROTTLE somebody. School isn't for socialization, or teachers to babysit us, or whiny little snots to discover that life ain't fair. School is to LEARN. Shut up with the start of the year syllabuses and introductions and freaking TEACH ME something instead GOSHDANGIT! And don't get me started about the Orientation Packages that keep getting mentally sent to Atlantica and I by mistake. Every time one squeezes into my mind the redundant information triggers a migraine. And migraines trigger my bad luck powers. And that's how you accidentally indirectly cause somebody to travel into a 7D plane of existence. Oh my gosh, if I don't get back to my dreary classes with my good old Self-Aware Library soon, I'm going to scream. But Atlantica and I can't tell the teachers that we switched bodies because then we'll lose our "Avoided Daily Catastrophe" extra credit points. I need those if I'm going to pass Luck Lacing. Grrr... just thinking about those slack-jawed nimrods posing as learned psychics makes my stomach clench with RAGE. *Pacifica accidentally uses bad luck powers* *loud sound in the background* ("Pacifica! Um... that peregrine just flew into our room's window again! And this time the window shattered! There's glass shards everywhere... like shiny snow!!!" Oh no! Not AGAIN! Is it alright? That poor, poor window! I'm coming Attie!)

I need to patch up our poor window, sorry @Scilph, I'll have to describe myself and my sister to you another time. And if you could update us on the progress of Eralonia's cure potion, that would be awesome. One of Atlantica's teachers partnered me up with a freaking paste-eating nose-picker for tomorrows lab. I CAN NOT LIVE THIS LIFE ANYMORE. *stomps away*

>=*heavy breathing* Need...sprinkles.... I don't have much time. I stole my journal from myself, er, @Scilph and am typing this as my captors transfer me to my new prison. (Must...have.. Sprinkles...) I am starting to get used to this body, but still miss my original one. My shoulder length purple with green leopard spots coloured wavy hair and overlong side bangs, my dark blue eyes and average nose covered with freckles. I even miss the fact that I'm only four foot ten! Or I WAS four foot ten. Now I'm barely one foot ten. And I'm covered in fur. I have mastered the art of walking and running on four feet, however (need...sprinklessss) and my fellow captives, Luceat, @*Atlantica* (in the body of our captor @Pacifica), and I have made a bargain. At the stroke of midnight we shall execute our plan!!! NO ONE SHALL ESCAPE OUR WRATH AND SEARCH FOR SPRINKLES!! Luceat has adopted me as a brethren and with the help of our tribesmen we shall conquer!! ALL SPRINKLES AND WORLD DOMINATION SHALL BE OURS!!!!!=>

{Oi. Thank you so, so much Pacifica. You don't even know how much this means to me... really. Taking care of Nobody and having Luceat in my room is overwhelming. I really do need a break... Not making it to Nobody's dorm in time kinda weighed on me... I don't want Scilph's personality to be inside another body. Ech. It's weird to think about. I keep mistaking Eralo as Scilph... but then I remember. Because she's glaring at me. Like, all the time. It hurts. Also, Claude has gotten into this annoying habit of coming into my Dorm and sleeping on the couch. He sheds more than Eralonia normally does.}

{Anyway, yeah. I'll definitely drop off Nobody, Luceat, and Claude in your room. I'll bring Scilph and Eralo too... if you're not bringing Attie, you could probably bring Don! Well, if you explain the situation. We could double-date! Scilph and I will be your wingman. No sweat. It's the least I could do, because YOU'RE paying for the Ice Cream.}

{If Don isn't coming, I'll DEFINITELY bring Walls. I haven't seen him in quite awhile. I missed you, dude! Also, if it's not a problem, do you guys mind posting a description of what you all look like for @Scilph? She told me after getting ice cream with Paci, then she'd be working on an art project, and she won't leave her room for some time. She will be making a mural with all of us~! Well, at least her, me, Eralonia, @Matching by Mattie, @*Atlantica*, @Pacifica, @Gretel, @Nobody, @Walls, and @Kristopher. Why she needs the description baffles me. She could just leave her room.}

NO! Once I get into "The Art Zone" I must stay there until I am finished!

{You're so biased.}

Any-the-ways, I have gotten used to Nobody's body. *giggle* I have learned to control my--her... invisibility. Although, I have not gotten used to my height. She is much shorter than me.

{Everyone is much shorter than you. You're six feet tall. Eralo is having trouble walking.}

@Morris, I have a plan of action for you. You see, the good thing about this body switch is that I've been returned to an organic and strong body while Atlantica is imprisoned in the rather unwieldy robot. So it was only too easy to catch her and hogtie her. ("Pacifica... this is boooooriiiiiiiing! Can't you let me go now? I want to play Dance Dance Dance Party 6!!!!!!! No way, we've already got five noise violation fines from the racket you made running around the dorm buildings. Besides, you've lost the other arm. Soon you'll lose a leg. "Who needs legs?!?") Anywho, Morris, I've got her under control. And I may have mentioned a while back that my mother supplies me with emergency tranquilizers for when Atlantica is going off the walls. Or somebody gives her a soda. I'm pretty sure I have a weaker one we could use on Nobody the cat. I doubt she'll mind, she's not having much fun being awake. I don't have any magic solution for your pixie problem though. Maybe Attie will, she had his king captive for several days after all. ("Oh yeah, Shatter the Biter was adorable! Like a kitten playing with a duckling while wearing cute sweaters!!!!" Only with maniacal plans and sharp teeth. "Yeah, he was a sweetie pie!")

I don't know about you Morris, but a Body Swap on a Monday has wiped me out. Why don't you bring the pixie and Nobody the cat to my place (it's Atlantica proof, so it's probably cat and pixie proof), I'll calm them down, and we can go get ice cream at Spoonbender. Have you been there before? It's the experimental ice cream place in cafeteria 2. Bring @Scilph and Eralonia if you want. I'll see if @Walls wants to join us, I haven't seen him in forever. You know, we deserve a break if you ask me.
