Well, this is awkward...

[He's no stranger to waking up in places and in states of being that he's not really expecting, but this time it's a little bit different. It's kind of, um, obvious right away that something is up with his body, as certain things aren't where he left them and his chest is rather, er...well, rather nice, really, but after a brief moment of regret, he decides it's more important to figure out what's going on first before he takes some time to appreciate that.

The room looks familiar, but it's not the one he was in when he fell asleep. Same goes for the clothes, actually. He hops down to the floor (and wow are his legs shorter) and decides to take a peek out the door.

Crap.

It's not like boats look all that different from each other, but he's definitely been here before and he had no intention of ever darkening this doorstep ever again. Just his luck. Well, at least that makes it easy to figure out what's going on here. It looks like that weird mist had some sort of body swap curse in it, because this is definitely the Moon and this is definitely the body of one Selphie Tilmitt.

So.

First order of business is to find her journal and see what horrible things Selphie is doing to his body. Second order of business is to hope people aren't as attached to their journals as he is and snoop around his old stomping grounds and see what he can see.]

["Selphie" can be found doing a passable Selphie impression and doing rather what you would expect to find Selphie doing. If she seems particularly zealous about cleaning the ship today, well, that's because it's the easiest way for Lea to stick his nose where it doesn't belong.]

/makes it worse

[fierybluebird]

Selphie!

[Marco gives "her" a one-armed hug around the shoulders and leans on her head.] Please tell me you're still you. [Between losing oh..... everyone, and then everyone else getting mixed up... nah man, he's in a sad state and could use a bff hug.]

[by_heart]

[Shit.

If nothing else, all that time doing the double agent/assassin gig taught him the control necessary not to headbutt him, though the temptation is definitely there. He manages to paste on a sunny smile and lean on him a little. (Ugh.)]

Who else would I be, silly?

[fierybluebird]

Oh thank god, Sunshine.

[A laugh and he kisses her forehead.] I have no idea where any of my brothers are now. This is a nightmare. Ace used to set his sheets on fire back when he got nightmares when he first got his devil fruit, I have no idea how anyone will handle that. And Asami is in Korra's body and pretty much accidentally flinging bending the minute she moves at all.

And I have such a headache already. I can't even enjoy laughing at everyone else yet, because I think I might be the only sailor on board. Do you have the key to the helm? [HOPEFUL GRIN!]

[by_heart]

[He needs disinfectant for his forehead.]

The key to the helm...

[Repeat it, look cute, pout a little. That should work.]

Do I? It's been total craziness, hasn't it? I think I'd forget where my head was if it wasn't right here. [Point, smile, a giggle might be a little much.] I guess if I have it, it must be here somewhere...

[If he's trying to catch him in a lie, if it's not something Selphie would have, he's hamming it up enough that he can always act like it's a joke.]

[fierybluebird]

Aw come on. [Another laugh.] You're not that forgetful, Sunflower.

Check your pockets?

[by_heart]

[ooc: Is this something she's actually supposed to have on her?]

So that's it! You just want to know what's in my pockets!

[Okay, a giggle probably wouldn't be overkill here. Might as well fish through the pockets, too.]

Did you seriously get locked out?

[fierybluebird]

[ooc: LOL NO. Sorry for the confusion]

Eh... you know how Ace is since last time. Only he's not Ace right now so...

Are you sure you're okay, Sunshine?

[by_heart]

110%! Here. [He holds up the results of his search.] No keys, but you can have lint or linty candy!

[Because he found some of that and he figures Selphie wouldn't mind him sharing it. Who knows how old it is, anyway.]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs, yeah that sounds like Selphie.] Thanks anyway Sunshine, just keep up the good work, okay? If worse comes to, I'll just pick it again.

[ooc: Normally Selphie would try to talk Marco out of that, but even if [Lea] doesn't, Marco would just assume it's because everything is a mess.]

[by_heart]

Won't that break the lock? Then no one will be able to get in and we'll all be in big trouble.

[Not that he gives a shit, but he presumes Selphie would.]

[fierybluebird]

I won't break it! [Innocent innocent!]

Although I guess I wouldn't be able to relock it without the key.

Ah, all right, I'll find Ace and make sure it's locked on the correct heading.

[by_heart]

You guys need to get one of those keychains with the big wooden tags on them so no one keeps losing it! Oh, or maybe you could get a sign out sheet so you always know who has it!

[In fact, go do that right now.]

[fierybluebird]

[Lol, poor Lea, now Marco thinks Selphie is mocking him.]

No no, either Ace has it or he gave it to someone to keep me away from it. Really I don't know why he doesn't trust me with it. You screw up one or three times and suddenly it's a big deal. It's not my fault ocean currents are nothing like air currents. How does anyone deal with that?

[by_heart]

[Fake a giggle. Don't roll your eyes. What the fuck.]

You mean you still haven't learned to sail a boat? Should I keep that a secret?

[fierybluebird]

[Flicks Selphie's forehead.] Of course I can sail.

Don't forget I make almost all of our maps.

I just overdo the helms. But if Ace isn't even here we'll have to do something.

[by_heart]

Well, leave the cleaning to me and I'll leave the sailing to you!

[Smile, wink, thumbs up, go away, Marco.]
