Anna had raced back from town as quickly as she could--she was clumsy and uncoordinated, and having some trouble with breathing and running at the same time, but she'd made pretty good time for all that because--well, because she was terrified of what she was going to find when she got here and terror gave one wings, it seemed. It had taken her two tries to get into the dorms, but by the time she crested the stairs to the second floor she'd basically forgotten that lesson in her panic, which was why she ran full-tilt into the door to her room--and, of course, rebounded, clutching at her nose. "Ow!"
Then she tried the doorknob and remembered oh, yeah, she didn't have a key. Because she was in the wrong body. (Also, she usually didn't bother carrying the key around anyway, since it wasn't like she needed it. But that was beside the point.)
"Hello?" she called softly through the door, both afraid of waking Stacey if she was in there and...well, afraid of what else might be in her room. "Are...is anyone in there?" And more importantly, how inexplicably homicidal did they or did they not feel right now?

And oh Thank the little baby Jesus that her body was here now, 'cause tracking it down was gonna get problematic.

Did I miss this? What the everloving fuck, Anna?"

Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 06:03 pm (UTC)...because dude, that would explain so much.

Date: 2012-02-18 06:09 pm (UTC)"...okay, so this is a pain in the ass." She looked down at herself, poked at the carpet, wondering why she wasn't falling through the floor, then looked up at her body. That was-- "Fifty-three years? And you.. this is... Um." She reached up and rubbed her head, think think think. "Whoa, wait, have you killed people? 'Cause that seems like the question you ask when something's happened before."

Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 06:31 pm (UTC)"I might've fallen out of them and not noticed, the way I'm going." Kenzi bit her lip, pulled out some hair to look at it, then looked at her own body. Started to grin. "Dude. I really do rock that outfit. So, can you -- I -- go invisible? And how's it feel to be human again?"
Now she was playing with the putting her hand through stuff. This had all sorts of possibilities.
Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 06:35 pm (UTC)She shook her head. "Yes, I--you--can 'go invisible,' but maybe you'd better wait until you've mastered opening doors and sitting in chairs first?"
Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 06:37 pm (UTC)Maybe she didn't, because hello, shoes. But. It seemed like something she should ask, if she was going to be wearing Anna for a while.

Date: 2012-02-18 09:19 pm (UTC)Wait, did that mean that she'd killed her own mom? ... Well, if she did, it was totally self-defense. Sort of. Since she'd already been dead and cursed and crap.
"...only, wait, so what happens when you're dressed in blood? Aside from, uh. Being dressed in blood." EEP.
Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 09:23 pm (UTC)Canon is actually vague on whether Anna's mom just had a heart attack or some kind of early manifestation of Anna's ghost caused said heart attack, and Anna wasn't sane at the time so she doesn't remember, so if we could avoid those questions IC?"Um, it's kind of...gross. And hard to explain. I mean, I didn't usually have a mirror. But I get...a lot stronger, and a lot more violent, and I would like to avoid it as much as possible, and I'm so glad you don't feel any kind of...yes."
Re: NFB
Date: 2012-02-18 09:31 pm (UTC)No problem!"Erf." Kenzi unclenched her fists, and shook her head. Double-checking the inside of her head for homicidal impulses. "Nope. No crazy urge to kill anyone. Or... hey! No urge to jump anyone! Woo! It wore off! Or maybe it doesn't effect dead people." She tilted her head. "How 'bout you?"
