Okay, no. That would be weird.

[passingthrough]

You are one hundred percent correct. It is extremely weird. Especially if it's a guy's body. I mean, I know my way around, but it's a very different thing from that side.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ oh god she's thinking about that too hard now why would you do that to her ]

Ah.

[passingthrough]

Did I break you? You seem a little broken. [Though she'd rather do it with this than another "everyone has died" talk.]

[takingkarabusiness]

What? No! No. I'm not broken. I just. I was trying to... I mean, it's a lot to conceptualize.

When did it happen?

[passingthrough]

Twice in the prison. About two months ago for the last time. [Though if she talks about one experience it will be the first. The second managed to be more tragic because of course it did.]

Were you trying to imagine what you'd do?

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe a little...

[ can she blush? well, if so, she's doing that ]

[passingthrough]

[Kitty laughs a little.] I actually ended up trading with a friend of mine. Not that we decided this. Just a surprise one morning. It only lasted a day, but there are a lot of things you can't avoid doing in a day.

[takingkarabusiness]

...Saw a little more of your friend than you'd planned on?


[ oh god what if that happened with her and Winn. what if ]

[passingthrough]

You could say that, but what happens on body switch day stays on body switch day. [She smirks.] Impossible always sounds a lot more possible to me now.

[takingkarabusiness]

Anything like that happen here...?

[passingthrough]

You've been here longer than me. But as far as I can tell the laws of physics are more or less in place.

[takingkarabusiness]

I wasn't sure if you'd heard anything.

[passingthrough]

As far as I know we're safe. I don't feel good about the augments though. I could see those being used for all kinds of things.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ shudders slightly ]

I really don't like being altered.

[passingthrough]

You and me both. [You know, unless she's choosing to drink, but at least she gets to make the call.] They don't come out though. [She says it a bit heavily. She's speaking from personal experience now.]

[takingkarabusiness]

And I really don't want to know how they got them in.

[passingthrough]

Also a good question. Have you tried? [Pryde, that isn't obvious to all people not in your brain.] Taking it out I mean.

[takingkarabusiness]

No, I haven't. I won't heal up as fast like this.

[passingthrough]

It triggers something when you do. Even if you try taking someone else's out.

[takingkarabusiness]

Triggers something? Like what?

[passingthrough]

...Fear. [It's not something she feels a lot of.] Overwhelming fear and dread.

[takingkarabusiness]

How long does it last?

[passingthrough]

As long as it needs to I think. It wore off when I stopped trying. [Though she still felt shaken for a few minutes.]

[takingkarabusiness]

That sounds awful.
