Is Your Love Strong Enough? Part 2 - Personal Interwoven Soulcatchers

Following you awakening and talking with a few of the members through the communication systems by way of the three kind people who had awakened her, Nezaitben realized how the crew was stuck in a terrible mess.

So many of them felt sad and depressed. Considering the entire ship, it wasn't too hard to see why. The next day, there had been an unusual amount of magical flowers spreading all over the ship. Nothing that damaged the controls (she might be naive in the way humanoids were, but Nezaitben was no fool either) but they were found in the most unexpected of places. Her own awakening area was now blooming in a flower paradise, the wooden palace standing proudly on top, the smell and pink cherry blossom strong enough to carry through most of the central city area where most people resided.

Yet the ship was still sad.

This would not do.

That night, or what passed as a night for in the ship, Nezaitben took to the 'sky', letting pieces of her own essence fall on top of the sleeping populace, or those that were not sleeping finding themselves feeling the need too. Enveloping the ship into a peaceful slumber, she searched their dreams. The powers granted to her by the pantheon of gods in her homeworld allowed Nezaitben to weave a series of dreamcatchers giving her the ability to see those whose hearts connected true.

These noble souls would do. Lead by example had always been her philosophy. She would give them a great gift - communication with each other in a single body, allowing them to share everything together. Their two soulcatchers were woven together that night into a single, grand ones, hanging in the garden's trees.

A few minutes later, the empty husks of the bodies that weren't being used showed up at her palace. With a smile, she welcomed them like her own children and began to dress them for their task.

That morning, some of the crewmen would wake up to a strange surprise...and that would just be the beginning of a long, strange misunderstanding and young gods trying too much to please everyone.

[OOC - Just a few rules. Keep in mind the listed rules. You can all start your own threads of waking up in the bodies of others. If you feel like leaving a 2nd post for other people to intact with them, start a reply to your own first post with OPEN header. That way everyone else will know where to post and if you don't feel like having an open interaction post right away, you won't have to!

There will also be another post for all the soulless characters to go around spreading joy and love, so look forward to that too!]

...oh yeah. I can. Shiiiii- and it went on for a few seconds, as the flesh and blood Lash just stood there, falling right back down on the roof again.

Well that's just great. Now I have to be careful with everything I say!

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-24 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
....Why?

There's a suspicious note there. What has she been thinking that she doesn't want him to know about?!
thewunderkind: (Raspberry number 2)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hey it's not a question of if I want you to know what I've been thinking or not, she 'responded', crossing her arms. But how would you feel if someone else heard your thoughts twenty-four seven?...wait never mind, we're stuck in the same situation.

I'm going to kill whoever did this, punishment be damned. This one was to herself, but Zetta most certainly heard it.
badassfreakingoverlord: (smug sneer)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Funny thing, I've never been shy about sharing my thoughts, Zetta said, entirely unaware of his penchant for the internal monologue. Still. This isn't the way I wanted to be inside you.

Lash's lips curled into a patented Zetta smirk.
thewunderkind: (AHHHH)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Combined with a facepalm from Lash's left hand right smack dab on her forehead.

How can you even joke in a time like this... Granted Lash had never been stuck inside a book or had her soul moved around so this was just complete confusion and maybe a bit of fear as well. What if they were going to be stuck like this for a good while?

Tentatively, she tried to stand up and take a step forward so she could jump off the building and go towards the center of it more or at least her Neotank that was parked far from there, but all she got was a nice trip and rolling right off for her troubles.

Shit!
badassfreakingoverlord: (disgruntled)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Why are we even on top of a building to begin with?! Zetta demanded. You're gonna get us killed!
thewunderkind: (AHHHH)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I was sleeping!

And they were still falling. She tried to grab one of the sides of the nearby wall, but she was just a tad too far.
badassfreakingoverlord: (sweat drop)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... look. You're going to have to trust me with your body really quick. Can you... do that?

Trust. Something that did NOT get spoken about between Wunderkinds and Overlords. He was evil and she was, well, Lash. Trust didn't enter into it. Except... well, it just had.

Also, he trusted her.
thewunderkind: (NO.)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
"No."

And then they died.
Edited 2011-11-25 00:40 (UTC)
thewunderkind: (Huh)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
There wasn't much time to think as the ground was just coming so fast. Lash would be surprised that this was all happening in a few seconds but right now it felt like minutes ticking by. But the way he spoke surprised her so much she could only say one thing.

...Alright.
badassfreakingoverlord: (dramatic cape flare)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Zetta grabbed for control of the shared body quickly, and along with it, his mana power. That went where his soul went, after all.

Think transforming into a Power Ranger is impressive? Now, for the moment, she had all the power of an Overlord at her disposal. Zetta used this power in the most direct way: turning in midair so they/she/whatever landed feet first and one fist down on the ground, hard enough to punch an impact crater into the ground.

The mana flowing through them kept the body unharmed.
thewunderkind: (Drama Hands)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Holy deathrays, since when can I do that!? She wasn't getting it quite yet. Chalk it up to her being naive and the whole body switching thing...actually that was pretty much it.

She tentatively tried to take a step forward again and tripped again.

Oh for the love of...
badassfreakingoverlord: (egads!)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it, Lash! I hadn't let go yet! Zetta pulled as much of his consciousness back from 'being in the body' as he could, trying his best to be an impartial observer. Being a book meant he had a lot of practice in not moving a body.

And I still have my mana power, even in your body.
thewunderkind: (:<)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-25 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, she replied at the first comment, her obvious shame at not knowing this for all her bright mind. This is hard, okay? At least she was admitting something. Or was trying to.

Although the fact she now had the Overlord's powers...or well Zetta had the Overlord powers in her body was pretty neat. He could probably hear that thought as well. Lash was an open book in her thoughts. Haha get it, wow that's bad. Thanks for saving me--well us by the way.

badassfreakingoverlord: (shocked)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-25 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I wouldn't want your body to go splat. It's a nice one. That'd be a waste. And he liked the actual personality that inhabited it a lot more than he'd ever admit (even though he just sort of had).

Oh crap. If I'm here... Where the hell is the Sacred Tome?!
thewunderkind: (D:)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-26 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Lash tried to ignored it, but Zetta possibly heard a sort of "...!" but in human brain form. However that was possible. Regardless, she quickly concentrated on the other task at hand.

"Oh shit!" the vocal cords of the body said. "We have to find it!"
badassfreakingoverlord: (really pissed)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Quick!" Now it was Zetta's turn to screw up by attempting to take a step without Lash's coordination. Body going down again!
thewunderkind: (AHHHH)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-26 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Down, down to the soil,
Wunderkind and Overlord,
Bad fall, no footing.

Which is to say Lash's entire body fell right into the crater again.
badassfreakingoverlord: (laughin' and floppin')

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-26 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it Lash! he said, completely aware that it was his fault.
thewunderkind: (NO.)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey that was your fault!" she said to herself. This is still so weird. So so so weird. "Where were you yesterday night?" she asked him, pulling herself up a crater wall slowly with her hands.
badassfreakingoverlord: (do not read the overlord)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-26 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"In my fortress. If the book is anywhere, it'll be there, right?"

Okay. He grit his teeth (mentally), then did his damndest to work with Lash on moving those hands. It felt incredibly weird, given that her stats were so much lower than his, but that sort of made it easier. He didn't have to slow himself down or use less strength than he expected.
thewunderkind: (Slippery Fall)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-26 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Zetta's concentration caused Lash herself to grit the teeth unconsciously, as the climb feels more like them going over a mountain than anything. But they eventually managed and Lashes body teetered back and forth like a half-conscious ragdoll over the large crater.

Wow that was much bigger than I imagined. Now how are going to get there fast enough... She was thinking to herself, but Zetta could no doubt here everything. Unless... Until she had an idea anyway.

"You...want to try taking over the body again and just flying over there?" she offered. She wasn't too sure how she had managed the first place, she she was willing to try, if it meant that they'd be able to get their faster. She sort of didn't want his body to be lost, after all. The prospect of not having any physical form to interact with, sensoriums or not was upsetting her as she realized it might actually happen.
badassfreakingoverlord: (eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-26 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
What the hell are you talking about? I can't fly! And I'm kinda worried about damaging your body if I crank it up too high. I'm level 2000, I have the stats to go with my mana power. You're not.

That's right. He didn't want her to get hurt.
thewunderkind: (Drama Hands)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-11-26 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Well hovering, flying! Same thing!" To her anyway. Lash crossed her arms, or tried to anyway until she gave up and just let them slump uselessly on the side. "Like that time you carried me back home with the car and everything?"

And while she appreciated the idea of not getting hurt...

Maybe if I use my Ranger suit, it would make it less damaging? The thing does boost my stats-- woops now she was speaking like him...I mean adrenalin and fighting power. I can already jump high in thanks to it, maybe...can you make it so I can just jump longer?

There had to be a solution to this. Just bending the rules enough so it would work. They could figure out how to properly make the body function much later.

...If there was a later.

badassfreakingoverlord: (why am I hurt?!)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-11-26 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell do you mean, you're speaking like -- all right, that's it! You want a taste of Overlord power, you got it!

He yanked just a little bit of his raw power into their body. Having forgotten entirely about rescuing the Sacred Tome for the moment out of sheer indignity, he wasn't boosting her body's power or anything. No, he was just pushing the status screens he saw into her field of vision in turn.
