[Seems pretty unlikely an Even'd drop things so carelessly, right? Like those books on the floor, there?
Well, this figure of a scientist here is currently not paying much attention to the poor books, instead turning more of it to looking down at himself, confused.]

What the...?

((So I finally get a chance to post this thing. Backdated, obviously.))

[It isn't too long before what appears to be a young Xehanort comes stomping unhappily into the library. No mentioned this in the standard list of things to expect.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Okay. Blink, blink. As common as duplicates are, one at that age isn't exactly an everyday sight... ack.]

... I think I see what's happened here.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone does.

[Have you ever wondered what you sound like while intensely bitter, Xeha?]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[No, and it's not something he'd particularly wanted to ever hear from that perspective. It's kind of bringing up bad images in his head. ... Or, well. Yeah.

He sighs, closes eyes.]

It's a spell. A body-swap, I'd say... this place just wanted to put us in each other's shoes. Hah.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

I could do without the place's sense of humor.

[Still not impressed, nope.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

I think most people around here could. Still, I don't think it's going to last long.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

It's already been longer than I would have cared for.

[But he goes to pick up the books anyway, still grumbling.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[And bending down to pick them up too - whoa, this is a long way down...]

Yeah. Okay, yeah. I can imagine.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[Only because you're short. :|]

I would sincerely hope so.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Pff. Who're you calling short.]

I'd say the average duration's about - three, four days for these things. Which - okay, yeah, still longer than anyone'd like.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[Well, speaking in comparisons...]

Four days?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Shrug.]

Or about that.

[Says a lot that he's so chill about it...]

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[It really does.]

And you said this manner of thing happens... how often?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

There's something every month or so? Though it's not like everyone gets hit every time. Thankfully...

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

I should hope not!

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives an awkward laugh.]

So - that's pretty much it. Not sure what else there is to say... uh, you can borrow things off me if you like? For now?

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

If I must.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Well, there's always closets handy if you don't want to...

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

There's little need.

*did not realise mis-iconed the last, dammit rushing tags before work*

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Well... okay, then. Just if you need - [pause...]

Anything of mine. Huh.

[Thoughtful, here, as something crosses his mind.]

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

Is something amiss?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Let me try something.

[He holds a hand out to the side. One, two, usually as natural as walking, now-

Hm. Frown.]

...I don't think you just got my body here.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[It's no great stretch of the mind to figure out what he's reaching for, and being the scientific type, Even decides to see if it really is as Xeha's said. The summoning takes him a little longer than it would for Xeha, buthe does indeed manage a Keyblade.]

Intriguing.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[That earns a grin and a laugh.]

Heh, yeah. Take care of it for me?

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

I believe I ought to be able to manage that.

[Yeah, that's starting to look like his SCIENCE! face there.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Aaaand he thinks he recognises that expression, even if it's his own face doing it.]

... What are you planning?

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

Nothing harmful to the structure of the blade, I assure you.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Didn't think so. But - well, can't help being curious, right? [Shrug.]

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can hardly fault you for it.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Heh - tell me if you get anything good from it, yeah?

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Cool.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[That is... exceedingly odd to hear out of his mouth.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Xeha's realising that, too- he gives a bit of a 'heh' and looks down.]

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

I believe that should be all?

[He lets the Keyblade go, after a moment.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Think so, yeah.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[A nod.]

I'll inform you as to my findings.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[ars-scientia.livejournal.com]

[There's a vague sort of noise from Even - it's the rough equivalent of 'don't worry about it.]
