There, But Different

Nick pointed down in shock to what was now between his legs. His first thought was about what WASN’T between his legs, but it really felt more like something being rearranged instead of actually being gone.

Suddenly swapping bodies with a woman wasn’t as earth shattering as he thought it might be -- though he hadn’t actually given much thought to this before the moment it actually happened -- but it didn’t exactly feel normal either. Just different.

And then there was the matter of figuring out how this happened, or (more accurately) figuring out how to do it again in order to get back to normal. He didn’t have these answers, and they didn’t look like they would come to him any time soon.

Nametag

Everyone at the three-day body swapping conference was required to wear a nametag. Simon didn’t really understand. What was the point of swapping bodies if everyone was going to instantly know who you really were? I mean, sure, he probably wouldn’t be able to convince anyone he was anything other than an awkward thirty-five year old male computer programmer, but he at least had the perfect disguise that he could try with!

After a busy day of conversing with people who immediately knew who he really was, he went back to his hotel and took off the chartreuse blazer he wore all day. The nametag caught his eye, and he quickly realized it was more than what it seemed. There were microchips inside and a tracker. He could hack it, and then it would be theoretically possible to keep this body beyond the duration of the conference.

He might just get a chance to do exactly what he had hoped after all!

Say Cheese!

Evan’s friends often wondered why he carried a traditional camera around with him instead of simply using his phone. The fact of the matter was that the camera happened to be anything but traditional -- it was magic!

He could load a photo of anyone he had ever taken a picture of and use the camera to transform into that person. It was fun being someone else for a while, and -- while he never told anyone -- he took a particular pleasure taking the form of any women he captured. Over the years, he had collected thousands of photos of thousands of people, and he could be any one of them for as long as he wanted.

Scrolling back to the start of the roll where his photo was stored was always a bit of a pain. And, truth be told, sometimes it spent a little longer than originally planned as someone else simply because he didn’t want to bother with all that scrolling. Though he never really minded the extra time as someone else...

S41ft - "Odd One Out"

Over There!

“Give me back my body!” Rich screamed at the top of his lungs to the face that were his just a few moments ago.

“Don’t look at me! Look at that weird guy with the ray gun over there!” Jenna shouted back.

“What are you talking about?”

“Just turn around and look behind you.”

But by the time Rich turned around, the man in the suit with the ray gay had ducked behind a corner. It left Rich in a difficult position; should he trust what Jenna was saying or not?

But as he pondered his choices, Jenna began to run after the man with the ray gun. With few options in front of him, Rich had to then run after Jenna. If there was a weird man, maybe they’d catch him. If there wasn’t, he sure wasn’t going to let this woman get away with his body!
