Out of body Experience

OOC
a) You suggested that the cause of the change is some government experinment. Did you have a more specific idea of what exactly the cause is already, or will you be making it up on the fly?
b) Regardless of the answer to A, are we allowed to introduce characters (NPC's or PC's alike) who have 'inside' knowledge on the cause and who want to help/prevent the protagonists's in their quest? (If you already have a plan then we'd have to ask you for permission and insight, and if you don't then we'd still check with you/group before committing anything that might greatly effect the plot).
c) This should probably switch with b, but can we create NPC's? Obviously the characters have to interact with their environment for the story to work well, but I guess I'm asking if we can introduce characters that hang around for a bit but aren't actually part of the main cast. (and by introduce I don't mean with a profile and all).

There's my questions. ^_^ I haven't RPed in a looooong time and never on this site so I am not 100% sure on how everythign works.

Keith searched the room quickly, quickly locating a case that looked like it held an instrument. He opened it as quietly as possible and took out the altorecorder, carefully putting it's peiced together. It wasn't much of a weapon, but it was all he had. He slid to the door and listened carefully, keeping to one side of the frame so his feet wouldn't be seen and he'd be hidden behind the door if it opened suddenly.

*^*^*^*^*

OOC: Oh yeah, last question, mutltiple choice. This switch-body thing hapenns to...
a) Everyone in the world
b) Everyone in the country
c) Everyone in the city
d) Just the protagonists aka: a select few who were exposed to whatever it is and effected
e) One of the above with the exception of the ones responsible who protected themselves somehow

Profile:
original body:
name: Billy Abbott
appearance: Longish blond hair, blue eyes. Average height.
age: 25
occupation: Medical student.

New body:
name: Andrew Fletcher
appearance: Brown hair, brown eyes, lanky
age: 16
occupation: student

a) i do have an idea as to why everything happened
b)yes you can introduce characters that have inside information/ work with the government, actually if someone wanted to be one of those people that would be fine too

multiple choice:
it has happened to everyone in the world.. i think i will introduce how later..but if someone wanted to start on that bit now they could just pm me..

If anyone has ideas for the story line or has other questions just pm me, i get on everyday so you should get an answer relativily soon.

btw: you don't necessarily have to "switch" bodies with someone, like in the case of my character she has actually switched into someones body and the persons body she is in is now in her body. You could, if you wanted, just go into a random body and have someone randomly get put into your body. It would make things more diffuclt as far as finding your body..but since that isnt really the main point it doeasnt matter..you dont even have to talk about your original body if you dont want to.

Reese now MJ-

When I woke up again I imagined it was all a dream. But I knew it wasn't. I opened my eyes and sat up. The dark haired man was now fully dressed and pacing back and forth.
"What happened?" I asked rubbing my head.
"Something has happened." he said, "I'm Jack by the way. But I think everyone has changed....swithched bodies I mean."
"Everyone?"
"yes, there was this man on tv earlier. He talked for five minutes and told everyone to stay calm."
"ha like that'll work." I said nervously.
"I've been looking around and as far as I can tell the bodies we are in are married. I am a lawyer and you are a model. Our names are Adam and MJ. And you are two months pregnant." I nodded my head and picked up the phone. Hopefully whoever was in my body was still at my house. It rang three times before there was an answer
"Hello?"
"Hi, who am I speaking with?"
"MJ Young." my groggy voice answered. So me and MJ had switched bodies.
"MJ could you do me a favor and go look in the mirror?" it was night still over in London so she probably had no idea anything had happened yet. About a minute later I heard a scream and the line went dead.
"I need to get to London." I said.
"I can fly you there." Jack answered.
"You can?" I replied bewildered.
"I am a pilot. Were just going to have to steal an airplane."

IC
Keith was caught off guard when he realized someone was crying. As quietly as he could, he opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. He followed the sobs to the room across from his and looked inside. It was the master bedroom and woman in her forties sat crumpled and sobbing uncontrollably before the vanity, pacing madly on the other end of the room was what Keith could only guess was her husband.

"What the hell is going on here?" Keith demanded, cursing silently as he realised how...young he sounded.

The man stopped pacing and looked over at Keith. Stress and panick were evident on his face and when he spoke he was practically yelling.

"We don't know! I just woke up and I was here in someone else's body! Her too! A man on the radio said not to worry about it...but how can I not worry! Where's my body? What hapenned to me? Where..."

Keith was already gone. He went back to the original room he woke up in and hunted around until he found a wallet. He opened it and hissed.

"I'm blond. Great."

The student card told him his name, or the body's name, was Ronald Yeller, age 21. Keith pocketed the wallet and left the room, hunting for a phone. When he found one, he called his cell. The phone rang once, then twice, and he (or his body anyways), picked up.

"Hello?"

Keith grimaced, he hadn't realized it was possible for his voice to get so high or sound so terrified.

"Is this Ronald Yeller?" Keith asked.
"Yes! Do you know what's going on? Where are my parents? What-"
"Listen to me very carefully Ronald. That body you are in is mine. That apartment you are in is mine. I am comming over right now so stay where you are."
"But-"

Keith hung up. He hurried to find some clothes and shoes, he had to find himself before something else went wrong.

Kendal, now Trinity

No one showed up so Trinity walked to her house, at least her old house. Amazingly she hadn't left her town. When she got to her house she walked into her room to see her body still asleep on the bed. She flicked the light on and yanked the covers off her body. The girl sat up quickly.

"WHAT THE..." She screamed,

"Get up and look in the mirror, your in MY body." Trinity hissed at the girl.

"What have you done to me!" The girl hissed, "Go get make up on NOW!"

"Like hell I will." Trinity hissed, "Who am I now?"

"My name is Trinity, and yours?"

"Kendal, lets go see whats going on." Trinity snapped turning to leave.

"I'm going no where with you while you look like that." The girl hissed. Trinity rolled her eyes and left the house to see what she could find out.

Reese now MJ-

"steal an airplane?"
"Yeah, is there problem?"
"No I just, I mean you said it so calmly, like you do it every day."
"Well if everyone in the world really has changed bodies I doubt too many people will worry about a stolen plane." he half smiled and grabbed a set of keys from a hook above the lightswitch, "So are you going to change or go in your pajamas?"
I stood up and Jack pointed to a door that led into a closet. I went in and dressed. I was going to steal an airplane with a complete stranger to go find my body. It amazed me how crazy life could get overnight.

"What's going on? Where are you going?"
Keith looked up as he hunted around for a weapon. He had ignored the man and the woman since their first encounter, despite the fact they'd been following him from room to room.
"I'm leaving. Now."
"But what should we do?" The woman wailed.
Keith moved into the kitchen, now certain he'd never find a gun in this house. He hunted through the drawers until he located the knives, picking one that could easily be concealed. He looked up at the man and the woman, who were clinging to each other.
"You know what's funny? If everyone has suddenly switched bodies with someone else, then there are hundreds of criminals suddenly out of jail and running around in someone else's body. Like that serial killer they locked up last week. He must be really happy." Keith smiled sweetly then and left the house, leaving the two to stew in their terror.
"Idiots." He muttered, looking back to memorize the house number in case he needed the information later...like if the boy in his body decided to come home.
He hadn't taken two steps before he suddenly bumped into someone. Cursing his inatentiveness, he looking down at the girl he'd just knocked to the ground.

Reese now MJ

It was easier than I thought it would be, stealing an airplane. Jack had been right, it was really crazy out there. We were in New York, that was easy to figure out. When we managed to get to the airport it was nearly deserted. Jack just picked a rather small plane and off we went. It was almost fun to sit in the cockpit, nerve racking, but fun. After we took off I decided to start a conversation.
"So how come you don't seem too worried about your body."
"I dont think my body will be going anywhere for a while." he smiled.
"Why? Where is it?"
He took a deep breath, "Prison, in Texas."
"Prison?" I tried to stay calm but my voice shook when I spoke, "really? Why?"
"Grand theft auto, ausulting an officer, and um arson."
"Oh." now my hands and my voice was shaking, I was in an airplane with a criminal, great.
"Lets just say I have a very complex job."
"I thought you were a pilot?"
"Nah, that's just my cover," I guess he saw the horrified expression on my face because he quickly added, "but I do have a pilot's license."
"what exactly is your job?" I asked quickly wiping a tear from my cheeck. Normally I wouldnt be crying, what was wrong with me? Maybe its the pregnant thing.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I work for the government as a secret spy. I was working on a case and things went awry, my unit was coming to get me out in a few ddays. I have an immunity to thing like jail."
"Oh, that's nice." I said not sure if I believed him.

I guess I fell asleep because when I opened my eyes I saw Jack flying the plane.
"Hey sleeping beauty." he said quietly.
I managed a smile then asked, " Are we there yet?"
"Just about. How do you feel."
"Fine. Why?"
"Well your pregnant."
"oh yeah, I forgot."

**I'm pulling out, all! I'm extremely confused, and can't figure out quite where this storybook is going. Sorry!**

Alexia now Unknown male

"Just call me Alex," I mumbled to myself as I stared down at what really shouldn't have been there. [i]Okay, there has to be some sensible explanation for this...[i] I made my way across the black carpet and approached the mirror cautiously.

"Wow, doesn't this punk know you don't keep those in over night?" I stared at the thick chain that dangled between two ear piercings and the black skull stud that held two ruby eyes. His - my - hair was a tangle of black spikes with a streak of dark green down the middle.

"What the hell!" A voice sounded from the next room. I opened the door, walked down the corridor, opened the next door and looked into the small bedroom to find a toddler shaking the bars of his cot.

"Let me guess, not your body?" I laughed as I crossed the room.

"You think this is funny kid? What's going on?" He demanded.

"No idea," I replied, "but I'm hoping to find out. I'm Alex and older than I appear."

"You and me both, Alex. I'm Steve, any chance you can help me out of here?"

"Watch where your going." Trinity hissed, man her voice was annoying. She stood up and looked at the guy that had run into her. "Just cause everyone is in someone elses body doesn't mean you gotta be careless." That girl had gotten to her more then she had first thought.


*Sorry tis short**

OOC
omg, i was soo confused for a second there. Kendal's mind is in Trinity's body, but you are calling her Trinity, right? >.< And I am assuming she ran into Keith =P

IC

Keith looked at the girl for a second, a frown fixed on his face. "I don't have time for this," He growled, then he walked around her and started down the street; he needed to find himself, and soon. Before someone else did.

Seeing he wasn't going to even acknowledge her, Trinity felt angrier than before. "Hey! I'm talking to you! You could at least say sorry!"

Keith felt like laughing. She'd switched bodies with a complete stranger... and she was telling him off? It was too much. He turned around and smiled his sweet (and always sarcastic) smile and bowed. "My apologies," he purred, noticing how melodic this boy's voice was. "I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just very busy. Take care." Then he turned and continued down the street.

Wanda, watched the scene from the other side of the street. The young man had looked very nice at first, but as soon as he'd bumped into the girl he'd changed. The girl didn't seem all that friendly either. But the girl had said something interesting.
~We're not the only ones.~ Marge said for her. She nodded mutely.

OOC
=P I hope me using Trinity was okay. *has never role played and used another person's character before* I am allowed to do that, right?

IC: Perfectly ok, I thought we were supposed to call them by the names of their bodies. Oh well, I'm going to continue to do so. And I am deffinatly out of ideas :'( **

OOC: Umm....well Keith seems to know what he's doing, so maybe your char can sort of latch unto him (though it will drive him nuts) and hey can travel together (that or she can stalk him =P That's always fun). I am sort of assuming all of the characters have to meet up at some point or another. Otherwise, ask yourself (have her ask herself) what her goals are. Ooor Kendal can show up having realised she doesn't want to be left alone and you can have them team up or something. =P Hope that inspires you some.

IC
Wanda frowned, watching the blond man walk away again. Did he have some sort of split personality? Where is he going? she wondered.

~You have to go with him.~ Marge told her suddenly.
"Why?" Wanda asked, confused. Hadn't they been looking for a phone? Marge rarely lost sight of what she wanted.

~Hurry. You have to make him take us with him!~
Wanda rocked on her heels, horribly disoriented by this change of plan. "How?"

Marge knew things, Wanda had no idea how. Maybe Marge could see the future, or maybe having no body freed her from the limitations of normal creatures. Whatever the reason, she always knew. And she always cut Wanda out.

~The car.~ Marge said simply, as if it was the easier thing in the world to do. Offer a completely stranger something they'd want. Easy.

Wanda frowned. The car, what car? She turned and noticed the car in the driveway behind her. She hurried over to it and looked inside but saw nothing. She was about to give up when she noticed something glittering on the steps to the house. They keys! She quickly grabbed them and hurried across the street.

~Don't talk to him.~ Marege warned her. Wanda blinked, don't talk to him? How the hell was she suposed to do that?

~Hurry up! He's almost gone.!~

*^*^*^

Keith was just turning unto the main street when he realized he was being followed. He thought it might be the girl from before, but it was a different one. She was hovering less than twenty steps behind him, but she hesitated every few steps, the hurried to close the gap her hesitation had caused.

Keith stopped suddenly and let his hand slide towards the hilt of he knife he'd hidden. He pulled it out and turned to the girl, his eyes making it clear he was threatening her.

"What do you want?" He demanded, starting to wonder if his body had already been found. Maybe Ronald had told them where his body was, and they'd come to get him. Damn. He hadn't thought of that. His stance shifted.

She had stopped, and stared at him with wide eyes, confusion clear on her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it agian quickly, fidgeting from side to side.

"Answer me." He growled.

She reached into her pocket, and Keith was already preparing to send the knife flying into her gut, but she didn't pull out a weapon. She held out a set of keys. Car keys.

He needed a car. His eyes narrowed, but he took a step forward. To hi surprise, she turned around and started walking away, that same hesitant step-step-stall-step-step pattern to her movements. Did she expect him to follow her?

By the time he'd made up him mind, she was standing across from the house he'd just left and watching him from behind the car parked there.

"I must be out of my mind." He thought putting away the knife and walking to join her.

He really did need a car. Besides, he was pretty sure he could take her if it turned out this was all a trap of some kind.
