The Perk, Friday Afternoon

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

It was the perfect sort of day for sitting in town with a mug of hot chocolate, which was why it was particularly convenient that Alice had arranged to meet her little sibling here for just that.

Well. She supposed she could have gotten a mocha or latte or one of the other indecipherable drinks, but really, why would one pass up hot chocolate when it was offered?

(Expecting Priestly, but open for all your Perkish needs!)

"I fear I'm terribly unfair," she smiled. "You're my little sibling, I should be assisting you, and not the other way around. Though I suppose taking you out for hot chocolate should count some small measure."

"It totally does. Plus, I'm sure there's all sorts of crazy shit about this place I still haven't found out yet. Only learned yesterday that you guys have squirrels that report the news."

"Oh, the news!" she beamed. "Yes, indeed. Squirrels. They take hostages to audition for the radio. We vote on who we like. I vote for Turtle, because she's another Alice, except not really. And from there, I vote for whoever was interesting. Let's see. The island really did move around last summer; one day, we all woke up in the wrong bodies, as we'd swapped boys to girls and girls to boys; and another time, everyone acted as though they'd gone quite mad for a weekend. Hidden love affairs and long-lost siblings and suchlike. Most abnormalities like that end after a day or two."

Priestly's capacity for belief in weird things -- already pretty large -- had been expanded over the last week.

Still, that was all a bit much. "Wait, wrong bodies? Like, I could accidentally wake up as my roommate or something?"

"I don't think I was anyone specific," Alice frowned. "Just a boy who had my eyes. Many of the boys were girls, and vice versa. Themselves, but the opposite gender. I could see the resemblance, to some extent. It only lasted a day."

(Crashing, zomg! SP okay?)

"Oh." Priestly thought he might have heard something about that already. "That might be kinda neat."

"To be honest, it was," she smiled. "Confusing, but enlightening. I shouldn't have liked to stay male, but experiencing it once was rather interesting."

"Like, something everyone should do once. Just so they know more about how the other half lives."
