He was outside. Crouching on a rooftop. Syx was familiar with the area and being on a roof wasn’t that strange… but… he didn’t remember coming out here. Maybe he’d… sleep walked? He’d been building something in Evil Lair… Anna had…. tried to get him to come to bed, but he’d been on a roll and wanted to finish. He’d promised to make it up to her later. Likely he’d fallen asleep at the drafting table, it would hardly be the first time that happened. 

Still, it hardly explained what was going on currently. Standing Syx stepped back from the ledge. He didn’t feel tired. At all. Bouncing on his toes he marveled at how odd that was. His clothing was odd too… not his normal leather and spandex. Speaking on that… he reached up and touched his head. Small. Hair. 

WHAT?!

Jerking in shock and growing panic, Syx spun and dropped to the ground. He made a beeline for the lair. He didn’t know what was going on but he needed Minion NOW!.  

@sincerest-flattery

“But-but!” Syx sputtered and then crossed his arms and pouted like a child. Stepping closer, he dropped his head onto Anna’s shoulder, throws off by the change in his head size, “fiiiiiine.”

He turned his head enough to glare at where Veda was in his body, still very upset at her. It was horribly unnerving for him to not be able to smell his mate the way he was used to. 

@sincerest-flattery

“I-I am sorry.” Veda stammers out, shrinking away from Syx’s glaring. Her nose wrinkles, catching a hint of Anna’s emotions from here. The sensory change is confusing, and she isn’t sure how to react to it or how to properly ask.

Not long after she finds herself looking away, trying to force herself to ignore the look Syx is giving her even with her shoulders tense, posture defensive.

@1000liveslived

Anna was honestly very relieved to see her mate calm down further, him being the most important thing to her right now rather than Veda. Her focus was ensuring he was alright and wouldn’t make matters worse before she worked to fix whatever it was that was going on. 

She wrapped her arms around Syx, looking over to Veda with a calming smile, “Its alright. Nothign for you to apologize for,” she assured her, taking in a deep breath before looking up. “Minion, can you come in here please?!” She called out, thinking he would be able to look at the camera’s and look back to see if there were any clues there. 

@syx-blue

Minion swirled around in his tank, disoriented, “Sir? Miss?” 

He’d been up far too late into the night himself on his guilty pleasure the early final fantasy games. He never quite knew when to put the game down so he only let himself play when there weren’t any evil plans in the near future. The shouting and commotion had roused him, but it had taken far to long to actually get his robotic limbs moving.

As it was, Minion didn’t know what he was looking at. Seeing Anna comforting a strange woman and his Sir looking very distressed, Minion looked between them and started heading towards his Sir with a confused frown.

“Wh- Minion!” Syx shouted in panic, reaching out towards his brother, “That’s nOT ME!”

“Uhhh, Sir?” the hench-fish squawked, looking around the room in growing distress.

Grumbling the whole way, Syx was disappointed when the brain bots refused to help him change. Frowning and more hurt by their rejection than he’d thought he would be, he skipped his normal suit worn on official business and dressed more casually. The tight suit wouldn’t go on without help. He was insanely thankful that this woman was his same height and roughly similar build. He pulled on his spiked leather jacket for comfort. Once dressed, he ventured back out to the main areas.

On the way, he passed by a dressing mirror near Minion’s sewing area. He froze looking in the mirror. His eyes… they were the exact same. If he didn’t know better he’d swear he was just looking at himself using the holowatch! Leaning forward and peering closely at himself, staring hard at his eyes, the subtle twitch of the iris caught his attention- and let out an unholy screech. 

Screaming he ran back to where he’d let Anna and the intruder. Jabbing a finger wildly in her direction, he accused, “CYBORG! BODY-SNATCHING CYBORG!”

@sincerest-flattery

With Syx having left the room, Veda had started trying to force herself to settle.

When he bursts back into the room, however, she physically flinches back, more so when what he was yelling sinks in. “No, I- I am not.” she stammers out, anxious panic from before returning more strongly now. Backing away from the two of them now, she’s focused on Syx in her body, breathing faster.

@1000liveslived

Anna smiled gently as she saw Veda begin to relax, able to smell the anxiety on her as clear as day. She didn’t speak, moving to beckon one of the bots there to have them bring them both some things that she could use to make some cocoa. She used that time to allow Veda a chance to gather her thoughts before turning back towards her, about to open her mouth to speak when she heard the sound of Syx shrieking as he was. Her expression sharpened, her head snapping to see him storming into the room. 

“Syx!” she exclaimed, her irritation making the vibrantly colored irises flash. She didn’t hesitate to come up to Syx, her lips thinning, “Syx Blue you are not helping!” She exclaimed, taking his cheeks in her hands to force him to look at her, taking in a deep breath. 

“If you don’t calm down, I’m going to take you back to our room, and let Minion deal with you while I figure this out alone! I would much rather have my Mate’s help, though,” she tried desperately to reason with him.. him freaking out as he was certainly wasn’t helping matters.

@sincerest-flattery

Syx shrugged helplessly at her, “Your guess is as good as mine, tiger. All my senses are fucked.”

Bolstering up his courage, Syx marched his ass over to the person in his body, “Who are you anyway? And what is wrong with me? This isn’t how humans feel? Is it?”

It couldn’t be. Everything was easy and light. He never even lost his breath running over here. This body couldn’t be human. It just couldn’t be. 

@sincerest-flattery 

“Scent it?” Veda parrots, not understanding Anna’s choice of phrase, what she meant by that. It doesn’t take long before that train of thought ends up derailed by Syx’s line of questions.

Flinching back, the anxious panic Veda had been feeling is creeping more and more into her expression, making herself focus on Syx in her own body. “It- it is.” At least, for her, it was how she normally felt. Though that was wildly different from other humans, she knew that.

@1000liveslived

Anna’s lips thinned just a touch as Syx approached his own body, though when she smelled the sharp scent of Veda’s emotions? She was quick to act. She moved forward, gently taking Syx’s shoulders and urging him back, “Its okay,” She urged the person, looking to Syx, hoping her expression would urge him to calm down. 

“Everybody just.. relax. We will figure this out.. take a step back, take a deep breath, and lets think this out without making this any worse than it is,” She urged. Despite the slight command in her voice, her tone was soft and gentle, soothing as if she were talking to two angry and frightened animals.. 

@syx-blue

“Relax? I am relaxed!” Syx hunched his shoulders and glared at the person in his body, “And stop lying. You have gooooot to be lying,” turning his glare to his new flesh he poked at the pink skin.

He followed Anna’s direction and backed off muttering to himself. Glancing up he informed her, “Just… keep her? from leaving. I’m going to the idea room,” he scowled, “And changing. These clothes are stupid. And I need to overwrite the security protocols to accept commands from this form for however long this lasts.”

“It.. please say it is.” Veda speaks up, voice sounding thin and thready as she stares at the pair in front of her. One of them looking as familiar as a simple glance in a mirror, the other someone she doesn’t know.

She flinches away at first when nudged by the nearby Brainbot, hesitating before reaching out one shaky hand in order to take the wrench it was holding. Surprised by it actually having weight, at first, before turning away in order to throw the oddly-heavy object. Though her first attempt is clumsy.

@1000liveslived

With whoever it was occupying her mate’s body being highly unhelpful, Anna merely sighed, rolling her shoulders just a bit. She didn’t mind at all that Syx stepped closer to her, looking over at him then to Syx’s body. 

“..Whatever it is we will figure it out,” She assured them both. “Just… give me a second,” She held up a finger, licking her lips a moment as she tried to think. “..If this was magic.. perhaps I can try to scent it?” She prompted, looking over to Syx as she spoke, unsure if it would even work..

Syx shrugged helplessly at her, “Your guess is as good as mine, tiger. All my senses are fucked.”
