Chapter 35. Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone

THAT OLD LADY I'VE CHANGED BODIES WITH BEFORE IS MY MOTHER.

This means that I HAVE SEEN MY MOTHER NAKED.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH "DO NOT WANT" IN THIS WORLD.

Hasn't it been months since you were in that body? Are you telling me you bothered to commit the details to memory well enough that it bothers you this long after the fact?

[bloody_pens]

[Writing is shakier/off now; someone's been at the bottle.]

Yes, it has, and no I didn't.

[live_ringer]

[Hm. Perhaps that shakiness is a sign to pull back on poking at/messing with Rick over this.]

Well, that's something. Better than having the realization right before or right after being in her body.

[bloody_pens]

Yeah. Could have made less of a total ass of myself, though.

[ruby_nova]

I wish I remembered what my mother looks like.

[bloody_pens]

[Oh, hell. Rick upsets his drink over the page at this, then makes a tear in it with his pen.]

he has no idea this is nova haha

[man_genius]

Oh stop it. We ALL have those feelings, lay off.

[ruby_nova]

Sorry!

[feathered_earth]

[she is thinking of that one trading card she has of her grandpa....]

Oh dear.

[bloody_pens]

Sounds about right.

[feathered_earth]

...Think about it this way, she's seen you [...]

Sorry, that doesn't make it any better, does it?

[bloody_pens]

The effort's appreciated.

I freaked out and made a mistake. No use beating myself up over it, eh?

[grab_my_bells]

And now we know where you get your looks.

[bloody_pens]

Wait'll you see the getup I got stuck in. It compliments my handsomeness quite nicely.

[desertshadows]

Congratulations?

[bloody_pens]

Clearly in my shock and surprise I felt like it needed to be announced.

[desertshadows]

Ah. I see how that could work, yes.
