The chaos lastest for about 30 minutes. A child was playing around with what looked like a plastic toy that had the very real ability to swap people’s bodies. Ian had walked through trying to ignore the gathered crowd. He had assumed the commotion was caused some sort of movie shoot or something. Usually pushing through to get where he needed to go was the best course of action. However, in this case that got him swapped with Sasha, an Indian woman wearing faux leather pants.
He thought about trying to snatch the toy from the kid, but the first person who tried that got their body swapped with a dog. The second person who did go their body swapped with a tree. Ian wasn’t going to be the third.
The child continued to swap people slowly but surely until finally someone took aggressive action. Instead of stealth to take the toy, they used speed to tackle the child. The person who did it likely had no idea quite how strong their current body was, as the kid felt to the ground and looked hurt. While a few people rushed over to make sure that the child would be okay, Ian’s eyes were on the toy. It had fallen out of the kid’s hands and shattered into a thousand pieces on the ground. The liklihood that he (or anyone else) would be getting their own bodies back seemed slim to none. The look on Ian’s face reflected this realization.
