Back To Nature

A large bear was leaning against one of the larger trees on the grounds occasionally flexing her shoulders to scratch her back on the tree and trying to look nonchalant at the same time. This look didn't particularly work for an animal this size.

What appeared to be Kay was sitting down against a nearby tree, looking glum.

The bear sniffed the air and looked around before dropping to all fours and trundling in "Kay's" direction.

The girl startled and tensed, but relaxed when she realized who it likely was.
"...hey, Mary Ann."

The bear stopped and tilted its head, regarding her for a moment. Then it started making a coughing sound reminiscent of a cat with a hairball before the mass receded and left a human Mary Ann dressed in a training uniform to stand up from an awkward four-legged position. "Hi."

"Still me as far as I know," Mary Ann said. "Brigid right?"

"Yeah. In my head, at least."

"You swapped with Kay?" This seemed kind of obvious, but the wheels in Mary Ann's head were still grinding back up to human speed.

"Yeah. She's off in the Danger Room... punching things or something."

"Missing it?" Mary Ann plopped down in the grass next to her.

"Everything just feels kinda... wrong."

"Everything smells kind of off too," she said. "Though that may just be the pothole fixes the maintenance crew was doing earlier."

She chuckled wearily.
"You know what I mean, though."

"I sort of do. I mean, things don't process the same way when I'm all fuzzy. Brain prioritizes differently. It feels weird."

"I've been feeling like someone is behind me this whole time since it happened. It's really throwing me off."

"Behind you? That's weird." Mary Ann turned her head to look, though she didn't expect to see anything.

"Is that part of Kay's powers?"

"I guess? I don't know. Maybe it helps her underwater or something, but it just feels weird on the land."

"Well, if you don't know, maybe ask her about it? She might be able to help," Mary Ann tried to be helpful.

"Yeah, I guess... if she finds the time."

"Aren't you guys friends?" Mary Ann sounded confused.

"Well yeah. She's just... yeah."

"Well how weird is it when one of your best friends is taking your body out for a joyride?"
Re: Back To Nature

"Probably pretty weird, but that's only a guess on my part."

"It's alright. But she's out experimenting with your powers, why aren't you out seeing what hers can do?"

"Danger Rooms have been kind of full, and I don't even want to know what kind of trouble I could get into out off the pier."

"Psh, you could at least try going for a swim. What harm could it do?"

"What, like just in the pool?"
Re: Back To Nature

"Or off the pier. Or share a Danger Room with someone. I'm sure it can do two things at once."

Brigid seemed to ponder this for a few moments.
"You wanna come along?"

"Sure, I'm already dressed for rambling around anyway."

"Alright. We'll go with the pool, then." She said as she stood up.
