Welcome to Beacon: Next (RP Thread)

"Maybe if we find some more of that black bob stuff!" Morgan yelled, checking the area.

"O-okay! Let's t-try it!", Iris-in-Morgan's-Body said as she too began looking around for more of that goo that was once that hideous beast.

Worried Cat... Er... Worried James!Selene?

"Oh nothing. Nothing. Everything is completely utterly fine." She chuckled a bit nervously, obviously lying. "Its not like I'm worried that we're going to be stuck like this. Not at all..."

Selene seems to be breaking down a bit.

Surprisingly Supportive Selene!James...?

James frowned for a few seconds before turning to face Selene with a small smile, voice quiet so no-one else could overhear. "...I think I know myself...er, my body and face well enough to tell if I'm lying through my teeth and giving a fake smile, Selene."

He...er, she kept smiling and offered Selene his hand.

"L-Let's go f-for a walk, g-get something to eat and we c-can just, you know, t-talk. It m-might make you feel a bit better."

Dian ducked behind a table, pleased she was still herself.

Thank You Supportive James!Selene!

Selene!James nodded as she started to walk with him, very obviously avoiding taking his hand. She went on for a few moments in silence before saying "So... What do you think of her? My sister I mean..."

James stopped in his, er, her tracks at the question, ears pinning against his head and now the one looking nervous and shy.

"I-I guess I s-should've expected you'd ask t-that sooner or later." He quietly replied, trying to joke about it, but just went a bright shade of red. "...W-Well, if y-you want an answer, I-I guess y-you s-should know. Just...don't t-tell her what I-I'm going to say, alright...?"

He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself and making sure no-one else was in earshot.

Selene nodded as James looked around, noticing the way her moves were moving, recognizing the usual emotion of it.

"Take your time with it." She said with a smile.

Exhaling and nodding, James finally spoke.

"...I like her. She's cute, she's shy and kind...usually. I say that because she can be rather...intimidating at times, practically sort of...stalking me to p-put it simply and even more terrifying if I so much as try to...talk to someone else...and scares me for...another reason. B-But that's not her fault."

He looked to the side and trying to keep his nerve to continue speaking and quickly trying to move on from what he said.

"...and I guess I don't need to tell you that she...sort of apologizes for a lot of things when it's not her fault...um, w-what else is there to say..."

Selene smiled a bit as James went on. "So it's about as I thought huh?" She (or rather James's body) turned to face him (or rather, her body). "I'm rather happy actually. My sister is indeed a wonderful person. But yes... She can be a bit clingy... But... That's something that you should talk to her about. It's not my issue. My issue is making sure my sister is happy."

She paced a bit from side to side. "You know when my father met my mother, my Uncle Seth was never happy about it. He actually tried to kill my dad on several occasions." Selene!James let out a giggle as she remembered the stories. "Family means a lot to us. So I just wanted to know what you thought of her. I don't want her to be hurt."

Brightening up and giving a slight cat-smile, James seemed less nervous as he managed to look at himself...Selene instead of anxiously glancing to the side.

"Noted, I'll...probably try to talk to her, w-well, when we change back. And don't worry, I want to see Diana smile and be happy t-too."

He nodded and gave a small laugh, a sort of a sigh. "Y-Yes, I can sort of understand that, considering, it was...Kain, right? He...had a bit more 'extreme' ways to make sure you or Diana wouldn't get hurt. But I-I can sort of understand how much family and their happiness means to you." James managed to smile, although it wasn't as bright and cheerful as before.

Internet troubles make posting rather difficult. ._.

"I'm glad we've come to an understanding." Selene said with a smile on James's face. "Now for the more immediate discussion... How the ever loving fuck are we supposed to get back into our own bodies? I mean what if we're STUCK like this!?"

At first, James and his ears lowered, tail nervously swishing from side before folding her arms and trying to be the more 'composed' one.

"...Well, if we're lucky, maybe someone on the staff or...a teacher or that...Johann guy has a plan. In the worst case scenario...might be best to worry about it IF we're stuck like this for longer than a day, right?"

Moving Things Along

Iris-in-Morgan's-Body then found another hunk of that black goo again, and ran over to her girlfriend in her body with it in hand.

"I-I found s-some more of t-this stuff t-that switched us...n-now what do w-we do w-with it?", she asked, anxious to be back in her own body as soon as possible.

The Classroom

As Samuel looked around, noting everyone in a state of panic, he thanked the gods that the black goo had seemed to stop shooting at everyone. It meant he could finally relax.

It also meant that he could finally notice that he was covered in a layer of it, much like he'd had a canister of ash thrown into his face. His back seemed fine, but this pair of clothes was totaled until he could wash it again.

Not to mention that he didn't really feel right with this... stuff all over him. He looked around.

"Uh... not that you don't have your own problems already, but anyone know where a shower is? I feel like I need one."

"Hm, most are in dorms, in actual, might want headings there." Quartz remarked to answer Samuel's question, glancing around the chaos in the room himself.

"... Is not much we can do now, is there."

"Heh, well, it technically went the way I wanted." He/She grinned as they were helped up. "What about you? Hitting your own body feel nice? As for the semblance, just concentrate on the origin of the feeling, and you should be able to stop it."

Scarlet rolled Marvin's eyes. "I'll be fine, Lily. Not the first time that nose has been broken and I sincerely doubt that it'll be the last time either." She took a moment to focus. Shocks are coming from along his spine.... The biker slowed her breathing and within a few moments the shocks had dissipated to a manageable level. It still felt like Marvin's body had too much energy though. "Dust, How do you live without jittering like someone who just drank two gallons of coffee?"

Selene nodded in response to James, calming down if only a little bit. Pausing for a moment she realized something.

James's face popping into an expression of remambrance of something important and seriousness, she spoke. "I suppose I should warn you about my semblance since you're stuck in my body. And I really do suggest you listen as this is pretty important. My semblance works by taking my aura and kind of knitting it in a concentrated fashion through my muscle fibers, increasing my strength depending on the amount of aura used. However. Once my semblance is activated, the aura will start to want to get out after being used. You have to then dispel the aura used, or it will destroy my muscular tissue. Like what happened during initiation. It will take forever to heal, and it will hurt. Like. A. Bitch."

For a few moments, James looked somewhat worried before doing his best to remain calm and rational, giving a slightly nervous smile.

"...S-So to put it basically, it reinforces your m-muscles to make crushing Grimm with your p-punches or in more practical u-uses...um, moving furniture, lifting up heavy o-objects to use as shields o-or helping others. A-Actually, being r-really strong has a l-lot of uses if you're creative..."

The mention of the horrible, painful side-effects made the feline ears on Selene's head to lower before trying to cheer up.

"W-Well, I doubt we'd need to f-fight Grimm or anything like that, if w-we're lucky, so I probably shouldn't need to use i-it. I mean, maybe unless I got t-the chance to punch that Richardo jerk in the face. A-Anyway, if we're going over warnings and ground-rules..." James remarked, looking worried. "F-For starters, the main o-one...do not t-take the glasses off. Ever."

"Well there is kind of a nice part about having to expel the aura. You get to effectively shoot out aura blasts after super strength fun. More aura you use, the stronger the blasts." Selene said with a smile. "It really is quite the fun semblance once you get past the rather painful downside. And that's only if you screw up."

She shifted James's weight as James gave his warning. "Don't take glasses off... Alright. Won't ask any further."

"O-Oh? I guess when you've gotten used to it, it'd probably like you say, cathartic and kind of fun punching things...Grimm into n-nothing with just one hit. I-I'm actually kind of jealous, since that's something. I'm sort of jealous, really." He remarked, giving a cheerful smile before it faded slightly for a split second.

"A-Although that's probably because it does sound amazing considering I don't really know what anyone else's semblances are yet."

...That wasn't quite the reaction to his warning, although that probably wasn't the most worrying thing before he froze.

"...U-Um..."

Mar Scarlet shrugged his/her shoulders. "That's the thing, you live with it long enough and it just kind of stops bothering you." They shrug. "I wish I had a better answer for ya, Red."

Scarlet let out a small "hmph." She pouted for a moment before looking back over at her body and sighing. "Well I don't know how long we'll be stuck like this but my semblance isn't so kind. So here are a few pointers." She grabbed her own arm and held it up for Marv to see the console on her left wrist.

"You've probably seen me use this a few times. This is the wrist console. It controls both my bike and the cooling systems in my battle gear. I also have one of those coolants sewn into my school outfit. My advice is not to touch anything since I haven't labeled it and I'm not gonna have time to go over all of it with you." She then pointed to one pair of buttons. "These arrows control the temperature."

She dropped the wrist and held up two fingers. "Second, my semblance reacts to anger, that's passive heat as well as fire breath. If you breathe fire, drink some water to make sure my throat is okay. Also, semblance doesn't make you immune to fire, that's why my right glove is more heavily re-enforced than the left. You got all that?"

"Alright, I'll try my hardest to remember all that." They say with a smile. "Shouldn't be too hard, and I'll fix any damage dealt to your clothes when we're back to normal." They nod their head. "There's nothing special about my stuff, so don't worry."
