[ Click! The video begins with a characteristically calm and pleased Macau, casually sipping a small porcelain cup of tea. ]

Good evening. I would be a highly unobservant individual if I failed to notice the recent events taking place around Fortuna. Indeed, some people very close to me have found themselves in the bodies of others, as have many of the rest of you.

I would just like to remind everyone not to waste such a rare opportunity. Try to really embrace seeing the world through new eyes for a little while to gain a new perspective and appreciation for your own lives. [ And with that overly optimistic message, the feed cuts out. ]

[ Your bro is not necessarily totally on-board with the spirit of this message yet. But he will pretend to be. Or try to pretend to be. No doubt Macau will see right through it. ]

That's a good sentiment. Or something.

[notsogay]

But I want to go back to my body! I don't like having male body parts.

[She's still fiddling with this communicator... but hearing about people in other's bodies? She's just about to proclaim how that is incredibly excessive information, not to mention lewd- or maybe more like confusing... not sure what to make of that. Well.

But then she notices...

GASP!

Her love! Not even space can keep them apart!]

Tea!

((Meanwhile, a certain "hong kong" is attempting to sneak out of the apartment.

He has NO idea how the FUCK he got here, or even where he is, so Clive only assumes it's bad and this is bad and he should not be here right now.))

[eastmontecarlo]

You don't sound very enthusiastic despite looking quite beautiful.

[eastmontecarlo]

Might I ask who you are? I apologize, I don't mean to be rude. Things are just confusing as they are now.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Well! ]

Como é você? Would you like some tea, madam?

[ He's not even going to turn around. He's that amazing. ]

Are you leaving already?

[action]

[bauhinia]

It feels really weird to have you say that. [ Seriously! ]

Re: action; 1/2 oh god i look like the most ridiculous HK rn

[sparklers]

((OH GOD the most horrifying of threats.


Fuck fuck fuck, Clive realizes he's very dead right now.


...... Or maybe... Maybe not.

Maybe...))

Re: action;

[sparklers]

Yes, I am.


((.... continues to leave in a sneaky fashion.))

[Video] ...wait that was dumb, self

[then_there_were_none]

It'd be nice if I could see. Nicer on my shins, anyway.

[knightime]

I am incredibly offended right now! How can I appreciate a world through eyes if I'm blind? Do you always say such offensive things to blind people?

Just because you can see doesn't mean we all can.

[He was lucky enough to stay in his own body, but he's smiling a little.]

That's good advice. People can definitely learn from this.

[notsogay]

A-Ah I don't think we've met before actually. My name is Yuki Kuran.

[ Oh Macau, making 'em swoon with your philosophy. At least someone is somewhat intellectual around here and chooses worthwhile pursuits to busy themselves with.

France smiles. ]

Ouais, c'est vrai, it is an opportunity we have never been given before. At the same time, it should not be considered as anymore than a bizarre absurdity that life has given us, perhaps to test our reaction, perhaps to show us the flexibility of perspective.

[ honestly he's only calm about this because he hasn't been bodyswapped. yet. ]

[eastmontecarlo]

You should certainly tell me where you're going. I'm very interested. [ He's known his brother for centuries. Good luck. ]

[eastmontecarlo]

France, how excellent to see you. [ PHILOSOPHY it is like magic, only real and attainable. And endless. Although these things are actually open to debate, which is what makes them even better. ]

I would say it depends strongly on one's trust in the existence of fate. Nevertheless, events like this don't seem especially uncommon here. It's such a dynamic world.

[Video]

[eastmontecarlo]

I feel fortunate to hear you say so. Might I inquire as to your name?

[Video]

[eastmontecarlo]

Oh, it was certainly not meant to be an insult. I'd like to ask for your forgiveness in that case.

I meant it in a way that transcends physical sight alone.

[Video]

[eastmontecarlo]

Are you struggling with your sight?

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Which is a name that's familiar to him, but his last wish is to alarm her. He'll proceed slowly, then. ]

An elegant name. You may call me Macau.

[action]

[eastmontecarlo]

I want to encourage positivity.

[action]

[bauhinia]

I know, but like.

I turned into a girl. [ Gesturing helpfully. ]

Re: action;

[sparklers]

Well, I was actually planning on just heading out.
