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."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:10 pm

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."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:11 pm

"That is really you, right?"

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:13 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:19 pm

"Yeah. In my head, at least."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:24 pm

"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.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:34 pm

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

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:37 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:37 pm

"Everything just feels kinda... wrong."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:39 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:40 pm

She chuckled wearily.

"You know what I mean, though."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 1:43 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:05 pm

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

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:07 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:13 pm

"Yeah, nobody's there, I know."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:30 pm

"Is that part of Kay's powers?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:39 pm

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

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:55 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 3:05 pm

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

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 5:38 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 5:47 pm

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

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 5:57 pm

"That's not really an answer, but I'll let it drop if you don't wanna talk about it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 6:42 pm

"She's having fun. She's having a lot of fun."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 6:54 pm

"How... dare... she?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 6:57 pm

"Well how weird is it when one of your best friends is taking your body out for a joyride?"

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 6:58 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 7:00 pm

"And I'd feel bad bringing her down, just... I didn't think being me was so fun in the first place."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 7:32 pm

"Well, you're not you now... sort of..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 7:36 pm

"I'm sorry. I'm not meaning to dump on you or anything."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 8:07 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed May 22, 2013 8:11 pm

"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."

by **Mary Ann London** » Wed May 22, 2013 9:43 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 24, 2013 12:22 pm

"What, like just in the pool?"

by **Mary Ann London** » Fri May 24, 2013 12:43 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 24, 2013 12:54 pm

Brigid seemed to ponder this for a few moments.

"You wanna come along?"

by **Mary Ann London** » Fri May 24, 2013 1:16 pm

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

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 24, 2013 1:30 pm

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