Polyhymnia O'Keefe Wakes Up As Scorpion

[get_over_here]

I woke up, alone, but only mildly disappointed by that fact. I knew I'd be seeing Zell early on. I sat up, stretched, and rolled my shoulder to work out a twinge. As I put my hand on my shoulder, I suddenly realized I wasn't wearing my nightshirt. Then, when Iooked down at myself, I suddenly realized I didn't have any breasts.

"Oh, no! Not again!"

My hand immediately went to my throat. The last time the Island had taken my breasts away, it had de-aged me to a twelve-year-old. My twelve-year-old self sang soprano. That was no soprano.

"What?" I said huskily. "Hey! What?!"

I jumped out of bed, and found myself wearing black boxer shorts. And surprisingly hairy legs. I looked up as I contemplated this revelation. Then I looked down. Biting my lip, I reached down and gently touched the area between my legs...

"Oh, my God!"

Mirror. I needed a mirror! But this man I inhabited didn't have a mirror! Typical male! Could this day get any worse?!

I ran out of the hut in search of a mirror -- and immediately clonked my head on a low branch.

Scorpion finally made it back to his hut. It was a strange feeling to move more slowly. His own form had a much larger stride than Percy did. The walk had been relatively quiet despite a few attempts from Zell to strike up a conversation. He was anxious to find out what else was going on.

Then he saw himself standing outside of his hut. It was a strange sight to see one's self. To his disappointment, he immediately noted the more feminine body language. No matter.

He also saw a very feminine woman standing there looking at him. 'Very feminine' did not seem appropriate enough of a term. Could that possibly be.....Sonya?

[OOC: He'll talk to both Polly and Sonya.]

I was seeing spots. Should I be seeing spots?

As I tried to blink away the ache between my eyes, I realized that I was being stared at by a young man. Then I realized I recognized the man. Wasn't he Zell's friend, who'd tried to kiss him to scare me away on Valentine's Day. Why was he staring at me so intently.

"Um... hi," I said, rubbing the developing bruise between my eyes. "Percy, isn't it? Um... are you Percy?"

I also wondered, if Percy was here, was Zell far behind?

She saw Percy appear, noting the stare he gave to Scorpion and why it looked so familiar.

Actually, why was he staring like that at all. Sure, Percy had experienced things other kids hadn't, but he was still a kid. And what gave him the idea to walk here anyway? The area around Scorpion's hut was fairly isolated, and Scorpion never mentioned a friendship with Percy-he may've been on good terms with him, but nothing more..

Unless...

Sonya narrowed her eyes at 'Percy'-if she found herself in a different body, and Polly found herself in Scorpion's body than that could also mean.

"You're really Scorpion, are you." Her voice was hesitant, like she wasn't sure she wanted to believe this.

"I've been changed like you have. I am Scorpion, and it appears that you are putting my body through a good amount of abuse."

His tone wasn't completely friendly.

"Who are you?"

I winced, though whether it was from shame, or the pain between my eyes, I wasn't sure. "Scorpion. I'm sorry. I'm not used to being so tall. I'm Polly. We've met, remember?" I nodded over at the woman in frilly pink. "Sonya introduced us."

[percy_jackson]

"I remember you. I expect you to tend to that bruise you're developing. Have Zell take you to the clinic. Look where you're going."

Scorpion could not imagine being so clumsy and unaware of one's surroundings. Young girls...

"I should tell you that Percy Jackson is currently in your body. It seems we've made a three-way trade."

I blinked at the young man/ninja. "Thanks," I said. Percy-in-my-body, I noticed, wasn't here. Why wasn't he here, when his body was over here? What would that young man be doing with my body?

I rubbed my forehead again. "I-I'll take more care. I promise. It's just a bump, though. I'm fine."

At least, I hoped it was fine. Everything else wasn't

Sonya felt ill.

"No fucking way. You're in percy's body!" This was just sick.

Sonya tried to compose herself: it wasn't easy, as she kept wanting to through a hissy fit.

"It's me, Sonya-I woke up in Aphrodite's body."
