I was going to summarize all of the curry stuff, but . . . no. So here's what Anthy and Thom did this evening.
The insanity begins when Anthy
makes her special curry. Thom finds curry intriguing, and
eats some along with her. Suddenly, the table
explodes! And now it gets complicated, and Anthy and Thom switch bodies and Thom-mun and I switch passwords.
"Anthy" notices that she is not quite herself, and
freaks out, prompting Van Helsing to
wonder if something's wrong. "Thom" assures him that nothing is. Actual Thom, in Anthy's body, disagrees, and is horrified to discover that he is in "a
girl's body, with, with
girl things, and...everything!" including a (stricken-out) chest. Anthy is perfectly calm about it, and wants tea, which further upsets Thom, who makes
death threats.
Anthy decides that this would be a good time to leave, and heads off to
fetch her tea. Thom enters, and there is rather (one-sidedly) heated conversation for a while before Anthy makes the mistake of pointing out that she has a vested interest in Thom not hurting himself while in her body. Thom threatens to
go break a few legs, though we all know he is too much of a wuss to actually go through with it. Anthy nonetheless feels the need to ensure her safety by threatening to
go see Thom's sister. They come to an
Arrangement agreement, and the conversation ends with Thom
demanding that Anthy stop "sitting like a girl", and then leaving before he murders her with his bare hands. Thom leaves, and
Meg heads over. She is suspicious of Thom's sudden personality change, and tries to
figure out who he really is. She will later
be suspicious of the monkeyless "Anthy," but not so much, as she does not know Anthy as well.
Eventually Anthy, who is not paying much attention to the fact that she is now in Thom's body, goes off to try to
comfort the still-moping Hob. Fortunately, he is too drunk and depressed to notice anything wrong. Thom takes the opportunity to
finally get revenge for all the watering, and douses the both of them. Hob takes the opportunity to be even more woebegone. He gets self-destructive and miserable, and Anthy alternates between trying to be helpful and not being able to help and being a little bit aware of some hypocrisy on her end.
Thom, in a separate continuity, also
came to commiserate, and Hob is confused when "Anthy" acts rather un-Anthylike and drinks his whiskey. When he voices his confusion, Thom panics and
flees.
After using the watering can of doom, Thom
hangs out with Paul and Meg. Paul offers to steal "Anthy" a drink, and
hits on Thom, whose inexperience with Anthy's short skirt proves troublesome. Thom is understandably disturbed. They discuss "Anthy"'s personalities change, and then Thom
has a breakdown, and Paul leaves, though, you know, it's not 'cos Thom told him to.
Thom also
greets Will, though he has great difficulties curtseying in the aforementioned skirt, and they chat until Will has his own interesting curry experience.
Anthy, meanwhile, heads off to
chat with Desire, but realizes that she cannot bring up the dancing from last night without giving away her true identity. Instead she fakes
Thom-ness. Eventually
the topic of Anthy comes up, and Anthy, in a very strange way, manages to
whine about Thom being mean to her. Touchingly, Desire reveals that
Anthy has friends to watch out for her, and Anthy cheerfully suggests that Desire torture Thom. Later.
She also
pays Todd a visit, being evil. Then follows an interview of DOOM. Todd
interviews "Thom," and Anthy cheerfully says, among other things, that Thom has slept with his sister, is a prostitute, and has a fetish for having water poured on him. It is very, very evil. Eventually Anthy
realizes that saying this on tape might make it possible for Thom to hear it, later. She is dead.
In an interesting twist of
controlsthedeck, Thom
is evil himself with Todd, though it is Todd-as-Regulus. Notable quotes include "I'm Anthy the heartless 'ro-bot' whore. Have you seen my monkey?" Todd, startlingly,
flips the fuck out and threatens to kill Anthy, prompting a brief reference to turtle porn, and also fear. Thom-mun and I cling together and shriek on AIM. Thom changes his mind and decides that he wants to be killed, but Todd has also changed his mind, and settles for smacking "Anthy" around a bit. It is not finished, the Desire thread might not be, but I am posted this anyway 'cos it's starting to scare me. Can edit later.
ETA: This is Anthy-mun, by the way. I want my due credit for being stupid enough to summarize this.
ETA2: AND THE SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN.
That is coming tomorrow. For now I sit and laugh at Thom.
