Freaky Friday. Originally based on a children's book from 1972, the movie adaptation came out in 1976 to some fairly high acclaim. One of Gary Nelson's few film forays as a director... he's more known for directing TV series. But he seemed to hit on something good with this film, Zach. One of the original body-swapping stories, it's the one that took root in popular culture as the go-to term for the event.

And it seems like Ponyville's been graced by its tropes today. [Helpful as ever, York.]

For some reason, it's decided to pass over me, but something tells me the rest of you may need some information on who has swapped with who. I'll do my best to keep track of everything. Let me know who you are and who you've swapped with.

((OOC: Consider this a sort of open post discussing the various swaps. Threadjacks abound!))

April Fool's was... interesting this year. [That's all he'll say and that's all you'll get.]

[Oh, somebody who doesn't know? Hold on, he's digging his CRIB badge out of his suit pocket.] FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan. Please, call me York. That's what everyone calls me. I've been here about... a year and a half now, probably a little more than that, and it's been slow going.

Mostly because my skills usually lie in serial murder and criminal profiling, which is significantly harder when a: most dead bodies around here tend to explode into rainbows and b: the main "criminal" is possibly a corrupt and insane death god. Maybe.

[sailorlaughter]

I dunno either. But I'll keep trying!

[ceasetoexist]

...Yeah. I can get that.

[There's an April Fool's from a few years back he'll never forget and that he'd sure not like to talk about. So he won't bother trying to pursue York on that.]

Sounds like home, though that's one way to...clean up corpses, I guess. I'm going to go off a hunch and assume anyone ending up dead here anyway is pretty rare.

[callmeyork]

From what I've heard it's happened in the past. The... er, problem, is them staying dead. A few days, weeks maybe, and they're back on their feet. Hooves.

I can only think of one exception, and that happened before I arrived here, so I don't know the details of that.

[Video]

[ceasetoexist]

That's no surprise. It's usually quicker than that; you die today, you wake up tomorrow.

...Really? Someone stayed dead in a place like this?

[That's a legitimate surprise.]

[Video]

[callmeyork]

Mmhm. Somebody by the name of Nemo Vantas. I think he was buried under the artichoke field in the commune. Not sure on the details beyond that.

[Video]

[ceasetoexist]

[...Well. There's no nice way to say this so he'll just say it. Though it's not like he thinks too hard on how to try and disguise it.]

We sure the body is still there?

[Video]

[callmeyork]

I'm not. But I'm not the person to ask.

Best evidence I have is that I haven't seen Nemo alive.

[Video]

[ceasetoexist]

I'll ask around then. Gotta admit, if only a few people ending up dead every few months is as bad as this place gets?

There probably isn't too much to worry about.

[verygassy]

Oh, hey, you too?

[Says a Skyfire-voiced Minako.]

[audio]

[sailorlaughter]

Yeah! Me too! You too?

...who're you?

[audio]

[verygassy]

Minako! You?

[audio]

[sailorlaughter]

PINKIE PIE!

The one from the Satellite! [She adds after a moment, realizing that her name isn't super-specific anymore.] WE'RE GIANT DRAGON BUDDIES!

[audio]

[verygassy]

HECK YEAH!

[audio]

[sailorlaughter]

LET'S TOTALLY GO DO DRAGON STUFF!

[audio]

[verygassy]

I JUST GOT THE BEST IDEA!

[audio]

[sailorlaughter]

OH MY GOSH WHAT?

[audio]

[verygassy]

Not here, I'll tell you elsewhere~!

[Fufufu]

[audio]

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie! I'm out by Zetta's castle now!

[audio]

[verygassy]

Ok! I'll be there in five minutes~

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie!

[And there's a massive six-winged dragon curled up by the ravine surrounding the castle, peering down into it with her serpentine head.]

[toon_fairydust]

[Oh hey, that would explain it! He had momentarily wondered exactly why he had woken up as a tiny, white bunny, but that thought was quickly pushed to the back of his mind when he realized he's suddenly a tiny, white bunny.

Seriously, could this place get any better??

As for York's question about who he is, he opens his mouth to respond, only to realize that he can't speak for some reason?

Which means he'll have to play charades.

Seriously, can this place get any better??

He makes a thinkyface before looking like he has an idea. Hopping offscreen for a moment, he comes back with a dry mop and scurries underneath it, peeking out and arranging the fibers like his hair in his usual form.]

[verygassy]

They there!

[Minako rubs her hands.]

Ok, you know how I've been working on the movie, right?

[sailorlaughter]

Totally!

[callmeyork]

[Oh. Not every animal can talk, then. Probably should have figured as much. That means that some poor pony is stuck in this bunny's form... and some bunny is walking around as a pony? Great.

It takes a bit of squinting and muttering for York to figure it out, but... that hairstyle is nearly unmistakable.]

... Mr. Pegasus Crawford, I presume. That's a... bit of an unfortunate swap you have there, hm?
