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!))

My name is Coco Pommel, but I don't know who I've switched with. Do you happen to know, sir?

[Hey it's not like Fluttercruel said how she's supposed to find out to win the reaper's challenge.]

[callmeyork]

Yeah, I've seen him around for a while. His name is Joshua Preston, a... soldier of some sort. Zach, there was something important about... ah, yes, of course.

His main weapon was a giant mecha that was powered by love. That's right. Might be important for you to know.

[shyformerassistant]

Joshua Preston. Okay, got it.

[This gets a look of confusion.]

What's a mecha?

['Cause those don't usually exist in pony worlds.]

[callmeyork]

Ah, right. Technological differences. In the most general sense of the term, it's a large, metallic robot that allows somebody to ride in and control it, usually used for martial purposes.

[shyformerassistant]

[She's heard of the term robot before, but she doesn't know exactly what it is. Ah well, once she meets Joshua, he could help her with that.]

Like a combine harvester?

[callmeyork]

A little. Except usually made for war. And generally tends to resemble either the pilot or some animal.

Depends on the designer's whims, really.

[shyformerassistant]

I suppose that makes sense since you said it's a weapon.

[Now she's kinda hoping she won't have to use it.]

[callmeyork]

I don't remember if that was one of the things that acme with Joshua when he arrived here... chances are if it was, I would have heard about it. So I don't think you really need to worry too much about that aspect.
