*electric cackle* *muffled shouting* Isn't there a recoding option for this damn contraption?! How do you even work with thumbs anyway!? *meowing* What? *more meowing* Oh.

Hi. This is Claude. Nobody's "potion of restoration" went wrong. Of course. *quieter* Hey Nobody! Did you know you could do air quotes with these hands?! This is soo weird. *sound of arms being waved* *sarcastic meowing* Right. *throat clearing* *throat clearing again* That's a weird sound! It's like purring... But not!! *meowing* I am not acting like an idiot! YOU'RE the idiot. As I was saying, little Miss Kitty here figured that whatever godforsaken ingredient she'd forgotten could be substituted with extra dragon scales, and everything would turn out just peachy. It didn't. *whining meows* Oh yeah, your potion worked alright. Turned my fur RIGHT back to its original (gorgeous) colour. Everything's just DANDY if you ignore the fact that I am trapped in your sugar-addicted body, and you're stuck in mine!!! *tentative meowing* NO, you cannot have "emergency stress sprinkles"! *crashes and hissing are heard in the background* Oops... Walking around on two legs is insane. I don't know how Eralonia does it. It just doesn't feel...right to me. *snickering meows* You don't look so wonderful either. Staggering around on my paws like you've had too much hot milk.

Anyway, we're going to try and remake the "potion of restoration" only this time with the forgotten ingredient, the correct number of dragon scales, and Nobody's toe nail clippings *shudder* and try to press life's "undo" button. Thankfully the potion doesn't have to be consumed. We might possibly need some help gathering ingredients, though, as neither of us is quick on our paws, if you know what I mean, and Nobody's invisiblity is going haywire. I don't know how she controls this! Honestly, it's whacked.

But as I was saying, Nobody is hoping that we'll be able to switch back before Sunday, because she wanted to go to the Ghost Ice Cream Social "in case @Deadeye tries anything". But we all know it's because there will be free sprinkles. *meowing* Whatever. Personally, I want to switch back by Sunday too, because if we don't, I'll have to deal with Mattie. @Pacifica is fine, especially because she watches my favorite movies, like "GMOs and how they destroyed the world; a documentary from the year 3170", and "a brief history of every war and battle ever fought, and the names of all the dead" (that's a long one), but I don't think I could deal with Mattie while stuck in a human's body. Not to mention, that if we don't switch soon, Nobody will probably eat sprinkles, and-- *chewing sounds are heard* WHAT ARE YOU EATING?! *garbled meows* THOSE ARE POISONOUS TO CATS YOU IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO EAT NEXT, CHOCOLATE??! *mews* YOU. DID. NOT! GAHHHH!

HOW DO YOU SHUT THIS STUPID THING OFF, ANYWA--

{Ah.}

{A lot of things are going on. Wow. Uhh... So, first Attie and Paci's wanting to be back together because they miss each other but can't say it, and now with the bodyswap... two types of "Swaps" are going on. I don't like this...*sigh* SO many things are happening... Claude and Nobody, I would absolutely help... but I need to go to "a Ghost's Guide to the Underworld III"... I'm taking a field trip there in a few weeks, so I need to get my facts straight. I'll send Eralonia right down, don't worry. She'll teach Cludebody how to walk, and cut off Noaude's sprinkle supply.}

~I'm on it. I'll cancel Scilph's lessons...~

Uwaah! Today is so... Anime-like. A simple misunderstanding that could be solved if they had a conversation, and a bodyswap! Very exciting. After my classes, Eralonia, I will accompany you.

~Not a good idea. They said that the potion didn't have to be consumed... so it is very likely if two others go in there, they will swap as well. It's best if I go alone. I'm off!~

{Maybe I should talk to Atlantica and Pacifica after my classes... I'll tell Attie at lunch. They need to have a little chat.}

Geh... Mattie needs to get her head out of her own little world once in awhile, because so many things are going on and she doesn't even realize it. Typical. Well, my cousin isn't quite the brightest.

Oh. You must be confused. There aren't any squiggly brackets around my speech. Uhm... Well...

=~ERALONIA! ER, SCILPH?? WH-WHO ARE YOU???~=

Ahh... yep. Bodyswapped again... Scilph ran into the room just as I finished teaching Claude how to walk. She was talking about Anime and cake, but I couldn't hear any of it. I guess the potion fumes were still let in the room, because as soon as she inhaled, I found myself in her body. Let's see... Claude is currently in my body, and he's stumbling around like a drunkard... HEY! DON'T LIFT MY DRESS, YOU PERVERT!

=~Sorry.~=

Geez... I'm in Scilph's body... so Scilph must be in Nobody's body. *scratch scratch* I'm always surprised when I feel my paws- er, hands... and they don't have fur. Yow. It's scary... you'd know.

=~Feh. Yeah, I know. I had gotten USED to my human body. It was weird... but fun. I liked it. Now I'm wobbling around on your cat legs...~= *thump* =~Owch. How d'ya walk on these things...?~=

Kinda the same way as a human. I adapted.

=~Feh. Good for you.~=

Your voice sounds all gruff like it usually does. It's weird, coming from my body.

=~I wanna get back to mine.~=

Same here... let's find Scilph and Nobody. Hopefully, no one else gets mixed up in this.

Pacifica

Tomorrow Atlantica returns to my room. It's surprising, especially to me, but I really can't wait for her to come back. I just hope she hasn't realized how socially inept and mean and boring I am and decided to ditch me for fancy, fun, socialite Mattie. Seriously, how do you do it @Matching by Mattie?!? I can't sit on buses for too long because I get annoyed with people, how do you stand to run a business centered around other people's annoying little love inconveniences? *sigh* That's why I need Attie back. She pulls me out of my metaphorical shell. And she distracts me from the saddness of the world, ya know? Anytime I start my downwards spiral, she pops in and throws cupcakes at me. Literally. It's hard to be sad with sprinkles and frosting on your face. Not because it's pleasent, but because it's enraging and then we have a fun/vengeful food fight. *sigh* Without Attie, I'm just a sad, sad robot addicted to tales of woe.

Which is why I baked cupcakes! Or... tried too. @Scilph (amonv other things anime-related) suggested I try to do something to say sorry so... pink cupcakes it is. I think I used the wrong baking soda. Or baking powder? Either way, these cupcakes look more like malformed flat cookies. This is why I don't bake. I thought maybe my temp. roommate Nobody could spare some special sprinkles to make these less lame though. I'm actually right by where her potion project room was right now to ask her if she could help me out. To tell you the truth, I'm also stopping by to make sure she's okay. She left our dorm to start this project forever ago and I haven't seen her since. Hopefully she's alright and all.

*opens door to Nobody's work room*

("Ah! Stop! Don't come in, this room is toxic!" Scilph? Why do you sound like Eralonia the anthropomorphic cat? "Nobody's potion was incorrectly made, and has resulted in a body-switching gas. Everyone's in the wrong body, it's terribly confusing and dizzy. You really should leave Pacifica, if somebody else stumbled in you'd be caught in this mess too." Oh, ok. Let me know if I can he--)

*Atlantica appears in the hall* ("PACI I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Attie, stay back! Don't hug-tackle me--)

*crashing sounds*

*chaos ensues*

[DEVICE HAS SUFFERED INJURY, SHUTTING DOWN TO PRESERVE MEMORY DRIVES. POSTING LAST ENTRY. SHUTTING DOWN.]





Nobody

UWAH! So much has been happening! Nobody in Claude's body, escaped the room a while ago. I tried to go after her, but the world keeps flashing when I turn invisible. It is the same...but different. It is very strange. Claude in Eralonia's body went after her instead.
After he left, we heard @Deadeye shuffle past the room muttering about "damn projections" and "quotas to fill" and had to prevent Atlantica from running after him.

Ah, yes! Atlantica and Pacifica switched bodies as well. They are talking now. It is just like in an anime! "Scilph, can you hand me that slice of cold pizza?" Sure, Eralonia, is it for the potion? "No. I am hungry." *sigh* It is so odd looking at my body from someone else's point of view.
We have been working on the potion so that everyone can switch back to their original body. Hopefully we will be done soon. All we need now is to find Claude and Nobody.
I wonder where she went?
*Claude stumbles through the door with Nobody trailing behind, wearing a 'ban the boxes' band* =~Feh. She went to the ice cream social. Thankfully she hadn't eaten any sprinkles yet.~=
>=EGALITE!
FRETERNITE!
SPRINKLES!=<
Uwah! I can understand catspeak in this body. How strange.
"Well, now that everyone is here, we can finish the potion and try this again."

*Atlantica*
- 8/16/2015 6:34pm

To avoid confusion, I'm going to say this now. This is @Pacifica, not *Atlantica*. My sister, eager to reconcile after our brief period apart, had tackle-hugged me into the room Scilph... Eralonia... whoever... had warned me not to enter. Whatever potion fumes were left in there were still active, and now I'm in Atlantica's body and she's parading around in my robotic skeleton. (*clang clang clang* "Paci, your body is like a walking drum set!!!" Stop it Atlantica, it isn't made for cartwheels! *crash* Great job. You crashed it. "Sorry sis!!! I just couldn't resist!!!" Just... just stay sitting down for a sec, alright?)

Attie and I have made up mostly. She's agreed to be less... insane. I've agreed to be less restrictive. We both laughed at my feeble attempt at baking cupcakes. Turns out I also used salt instead of sugar. Oh, and look at this! *squeezes eyes shut* *focuses bad luck powers* *Atlantica's/Pacifica's robotic arm falls off* ("Oooo... that's not good.") Ah! Sorry! Crap, that's a problem... but the point is, our luck powers came back a little while after we reunited. So that's a positive.

This little potion making room has been a bit crazy today. People keep popping in and out and switching bodies and yelling other people's catch-phrases... I've lost track of who everyone is. We're just a group of bodies with interchanging souls. I'm sure there's some great mind-blowing epiphany to be found there, but I'm too exhausted and stressed to think about it. *rubs eyes* The antidote has been in progress for HOURS. There are so many steps and ingredients... Thank the heavens that the Self-Aware Library (S-AL) was re-opened today. And thank the heavens for Prof. Sneepa, who's let us raid his cabinets for instruments and such. He's really nice. ("Speaking of that, would you please get me another pestle Pacifica?" What? That's the fifth one you've broken! Are you sure you don't want me to get somebody stronger Eralonia? Ebony is really hard to crush. "No, no! I've got this. It's Scilph's feeble arms that are the problem, not my stamina. Just be quick please, I think that Nobody's having another sprinkle attack" *frantic meowing* ...Fine, just let me finish this.) With any luck, we'll all be back to normal by tomorrow. Especially since a lot of things at Psyhigh are kept secure by thumb and eye recognition. Which is why I'm posting on Attie's account instead of mine. Who thought that was a good idea anyways? Doesn't Psychic High School Administration know that not everyone will always have the same fingerprints? This student body is less consistent than that guy in Katy Perry's song "Hot n Cold" for goodness sakes!! ("I love that song!!!" "Oh, I don't believe I've heard that one before, Atlantica...." "Don't worry Scilph, I'll sing it to you! 'CAUSE YOU'RE HOT AND YOU'RE COL--") Please pray for me. I can't take much more of this.

{AH.}

{I've just returned from the Ice Cream Social... to find my girlfriend's mind in someone else's body. Wow. Uhm... let's see here. @Scilph is in @Nobody's body, Eralonia in Scilph's, Claude in Eralonia's, and Nobody in Claude's. Also with Attie and Paci switched around. Oi, my head...}

{I'm coming to help with the Swap-Back. I've already greeted @Walls back into the vicinity, so that's good. I missed you so much, man! We've gotta play a celebratory game of checkers. He was at the Social, and we had a grand old time, really. I ate lots of ice cream and got "BAN THE BOX" posters and pins and stuff. Even Mattie was there, hitting on various ghosts. Little does she know how old they are. Heh. I spun around and tap-danced with @Nate Sun; most of the things he says about us don't quite apply to me, as I am half ghost... but something about people spinning around is mesmerizing. I dunno.}

{I'm gonna head on down to Nobody's Dorm... I'll wear a gas mask. Scilph, try to stay visible for me! It'll be fine. I'm sure.}

{I hope.}

{Oi.}

Scilph
- 8/16/2015 7:13pm

This is ridiculous. I have a craving for Green Tea. I don't even LIKE Green Tea. But Scilph's stupid body does. Pacifica-- I mean, Atlantica, er, PACIFILA, is making so much noise. She won't stop singing... and neither will Nolph. Nobody body, Scilph mind. She's singing in Japanese.

("CAUSE YOU'RE HOT AND YOU'RE COLD!" "Anata wa sō janai nda, anata wa nani o shite imasu!" "AHAHA! THAT DOESN'T GO WITH THE BEAT, BUT IT'S FUNNY! YOU'RE IN AND YOU'RE OUT!")

At least Atcifica shares the same feelings with me. We are both irritated beyond belief... so is Eralaude. I'm afraid Scilph's... my... electricity harnessing will get out of control. The lights are flickering already, and the METAL cauldron in which we're making the potion isn't reacting well. Claubody is trying to reach the sprinkles, but she's being held back... I hope Morris comes soon to help us...

=~Ehhh... I wouldn' count onnit.~=

Shush. I need to think... Where does Nobody put the extra potato salad? and I'm one cup short of Hydrogen Chloride.

=~Who knows? She keeps her things scattered all over the place.~=

("YOU, YOU DON'T EVEN WANNA STAY, OH!" "Anata wa hontōni shitai ā, itte imasen!" "HEE! THOSE ARE SILLY WORDS!" "SHUSH, PACIFILA! Sceralonia, please hurry...")

I'm trying! The ingredients--

Pacifica

HIIIIII EVERYBODY! *jumps up and down and waves* It's me, @*Atlantica*!!!!!! I'm stuck in my sister Pacifica's artifical body because of a body swap potion @Nobody made! Sooooo... that's cool!!! Eralonia (Scilph's kitty) was making an antidote yesterday but she dropped her journal into the cauldron! And then Nobody (who's in a kitty body now) saw some sprinkles in the mixture and tried to jump in to drink them! Long story short, the room was a mess and it was too late to restart the potion. So we all went to our classes today in the wrong bodies! Yaaaaaaaaaay!

Stairs are really mean when you have semi-functional joints! I don't know how Paci walks around all day like this! I'm so stiff and... and heavy.... oh, and I may have lost her left arm! I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere though... *laughs nervously* Lucky for my sis and I, we have pretty similar schedules! Only instead of Dealing With Grief, she has some weird class where they go into the Self-Aware Library (S-AL) and study whatever random tomes it throws at them! It was super fun! I think I confused S-AL though, because at first it gave me these super duper depressing books! The Largest Graveyards of North America, A History of Lab Rat Tragedies, I Got 99 Realities and Only One is Fun... talk about downers! Then S-AL shot some books titled The Body Snatcher Series, but eventually it calmed down and sent me Cookie Recipes Not for the Faint of Heart! S-AL is such a cool building!!!!!!

Unfortunately, the others aren't fairing so well! Eralonia (who's in Scilph's body) isn't really used to taking orders from teachers, and last time I saw her she was debating with Big Jim in the halls! Big Jim is really buff, I wonder what kind of yoga classes he takes?!?! Nobody is in her pet cat's body, and she's been walking into walls and falling downstairs in a daze! Sprinkle addictions are serious people, it turns you into drunk cats!!!!!! Oh, and poor Scilph is in Nobody's body! She pops in and out of view every ten seconds now, it's like she's in her own private old timey movie! OMG! SCILPH IS A MOVIE STAR!!!! ("No, she's really not. Now would you please stop flailing your -- er, my arms around? You'll lose the right one too at this rate." It's okay Paci, I'm going to your new friend Don's after my last class to have your body all fixed up! Arms and all, and I'm paying! You're welcome!!! "What?!? No no no no no! You can't go to Don like that! He'll think you're ME!" Sorry Pacifica! I have to go to your Luck Lacing class now! Byeeeee! "GET BACK HERE ATTIE YOU ARE NOT EMBARASSING ME IN FRONT OF DON! ATLANTICA SHANG-GING YOU BETTER STO--oh no, is this journal still recording?")





Scilph
- 8/17/2015 2:27pm

Are you kidding? This is ridiculous. Just my luck. I can't believe any of this. I'm still in Scilphs body. I still want Green Tea. And I still want to get back to my own, small, cat body. Seriously. I am six feet tall, furless, and I'm wearing a very unfashionable white tank top and jean shorts. I want my dresses... but Scilph doesn't wear dresses. Just silly T-shirts, jeans, and the occasional skirt. I'm being driven insane by these dumb classes (NO BIG JIM, THE ALTERNATE DIMENSIONAL PLANE /IS/ CONDUCTED WITH AT LEAST 12 FACTORS. I RESPECT YOU BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.)

Also, both Morris and I have been put in charge of watching over Nobody. It's idiotic. And people come up to Claude asking them questions. Not to mention Attie parading down the halls, making so much wretched noise. I can stand this... And now the Don drama? Please spare me... I can't take this... And of course, Scilly disappearing and reappearing. I'm very sorry, to those that has been shocked at Scilph appearing out of nowhere. She hasn't quite gotten used to her invisibility yet.

Since I have finished my classes today, I will continue the potion making from where I left off... And I'll make sure not to drop Journal this time. Nurse Joyee repaired it for me, and she wasn't pleased. I'm going to be more careful now. Pacifica, we, Atlantica... Pacifica. I was right the first time. Anyway, Pacifica, do you want me to send Morris down with Atlantica? Just to monitor her, make sure she doesn't embarrass you. But in return, ease look after Nobody. I'll have Claude help me.

=~Feh, alright. Geez, I wanna take this dress off. The stupid tags' itchy...~=

DON'T PARADE AROUND IN MY BODY NAKED, YOU ABSOLUTE WALNUT!
