05 [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO/ACTION]

[shortestfuse]

[ VIDEO ]

[ The camera flickers on when Shizuo seems to be rolling out of bed.

Half-asleep, he drags his face off of his pillow and grunts as he moves to sit up groggily, reaching up to scratch at his chest and yawn.

It takes him a few moments to realize that he's wading in the sweatpants he had worn to bed, secured dangerously loose around pale hips on do not belong to him. Blinking hard, eyes sensitive to the light, he rubs at them in disbelief and then stares at his hands.

And stares. ] What... [ Annnd stares. ] The... fuck...? [ Startled to high hell, he's picking up the recording communicator and staring into the screen, hoping to catch a glimpse of his reflection. His eyes widen and he nearly drops the thing.

The image shakes and it's obvious he's running, slamming the bathroom door open. And then he drops it when he sees Izaya staring back at him, chest rising and falling as he tries to remember how to breathe properly. ]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[ ACTION ]

[ About thirty minutes later Shizuo regains some semblance of calm.

Meaning, he hasn't calmed down at all and is currently stomping down the stairwell, tugging firmly on the drawstrings of his sweatpants, ready to give that flea a piece of his mind. Because when something went wrong, when situations got to the point where they were out of control, Izaya was the culprit.

Standing in front of Latimir 404, directly a floor down from his apartment, Shizuo pitches his leg back and goes to kick the door down. His toe meet the base of the door - really all he'd need to do normally was tap it and it'd buckle in - and stops.

Immediately, he drops to take a knee, holding his foot in his hand with a pained sound he hasn't heard himself make in months.

Knock knock, Izaya, your body has returned home.

... Yeah, that sounds like about the right thing to say now.

[ Ange lets out a groan, what is even up with this kind of thing happening. Except her voice sounds decidedly male right now - another bodyswap victim, yup. ]

[ NOT ANGE TOO. He needs a moment. TO BREATHE HARSHLY. ]

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!

[nospidershere]

[ She understands, bro, she understands.. ]

I think we got stuck in other people's bodies. [ She manages to say it calmly though, despite everything - she's used to this place pulling the weirdest stuff.. ] Apparently the scientists needed their sick kicks again or something like that.

[flearidden]

YOU THINK?! LOOK AT ME. [ He's trying to calm down, honest. ]

I expected that stupid truth and lie thing, but this is... I'm a fucking...

[nospidershere]

[ with a flat tone. ] I'm a girl stuck in a guy's body. I think I know just about how bad this thing can get.

[flearidden]

[ Oh right. ] So it's an easier transition for me?

LIKE HELL IT IS.

[nospidershere]

Breaking this person's vocal chords isn't really going to help anything either though, you know.

[ ugh, but fine, fine-- ] It's probably just as shitty for everyone involved here, okay?

[flearidden]

[ Presses his hands over his face. ] I can't stay like this for a week. I'll lose my mind.

[nospidershere]

Just keep breathing and you'll get there.

[flearidden]

WITH THESE PUNY LUNGS, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

[nospidershere]

With the way you're acting about it, it's almost more as if you're trapped in an ant's body or something like that.

[flearidden]

I AM, HE'S A FUCKING FLEA.

[nospidershere]

I doubt a literal flea would sound like that exactly.
