Figured I'd check out the playground. I don't advise trying to climb the thing if it ever comes back. Ended up being 27 for a while.
[ and it kind of sucks knowing things she isn't meant to know at the age of seventeen. but maybe adam lucked out and transformed into a cute little puppy with no additional memories now clouding his brain. ]
[Cora? Hanging around playground equipment? He tries to imagine why she would and fails. She hasn't given the impression she's a big fan of kicking back and climbing jungle gyms, but what does he really know...]
That's a specific number. Did it update your driver's license for you? At least it didn't make you 80 like I heard the Weeping Angels did.
[To be honest, he already has hundreds of years of extra memories, adding twenty seven more to the pile probably wouldn't be a stretch, but that's another exceedingly long story...
He's tempted not to tell the truth, but if Cora's admitting how Wonderland had punk'd her, ]
Another dose of Freaky Friday with someone here. I laid low.
[ the way to be a true hale: take everything literally. ]
But I aged 10 years. Got more than I bargained for. Know if the Weeping Angels gave you a trunk load of memories that weren't there before?
[ cora's about to ask if he'd been changed back into adrianna (is that his female name?) but since he didn't simply say got boobs again or anything like that, she'll have to take this literally, too. ]
Who'd you swap with? Hope it was someone more interesting than the girl version of yourself.
[ cora liked girl adam. he'd been a little more open, if a little more defensive than usual, but at least he seemed to let loose ... just a little. and she's not thinking literally, either, with the lack of support he gave himself. ]
[Good to know. Cora doesn't drive, and she's also... what, normally seventeen? He's learning all sorts of fun facts lately.
But as for the Weeping Angels, he thought they'd more or less just been stealing time to feed themselves and kill their victims. This sounds different. More Tom Hanks' Big kind of different.]
No one said anything. They just gained years. Sounds like you really aged.
At least a version of yourself isn't someone you met here and have to look at. That's plenty interesting. She's just another girl here I was in the wrong place at the wrong time with.
[For Krissy's sake, he'll keep her name out of the papers. He can't pretend the body swap hadn't happened, but he doesn't have to embarrass her further. Or himself for that matter. There's something uncomfortably intimate about getting to know someone from the inside out when neither person involved had given their permission.]
Lucky me. I got to be old and you got to be someone else.
[ cora really shouldn't be amused that adam got swapped with the one body that he probably never wants to be in again. but she should count her blessings — it could've been worse. she could've swapped with someone like adam had. being a boy sucks. ]
I'm starting to wonder if Wonderland wants to give you some sort of gender crisis. Guess you still don't like being a girl, not even after the second try?
[Maybe Wonderland just didn't want to be boring and do to him what Hell already has. Cora's not the only one who has more memories than her physical age suggests; he's way too old to be nineteen.
Physically growing old, in a way, would just be sad, like a person glimpsing a future they're never going to have. He doesn't really envy Cora, either.]
I like you fine, I just don't want to be one of you full-time. And it's just wrong having to use someone like that.
[Being in their body is a bizarre and uncomfortable way to violate someone's privacy.]
[ cora can't begin to fathom what it must be like to be in possession of someone else's body. while it's easy for her to make jokes about it and what it could possibly mean for adam, she doesn't get it. and hopefully she never will. ]
Couple days. But the body came back in better condition than when it left, so I guess I can't complain.
[Well, that's a lie, Adam has plenty he can complain about, up to and including the fact that Michael had gotten close enough to Krissy to touch her and heal his injuries while she'd been in his body, but still...]
Must be running out of steam if it's wearing off for all of us.
[ she has an uneasy feeling as to what could make adam's body, in whatever condition it had been in prior to the doorknob bashing, bounce back to mint condition. what does this kid do in his spare time? ]
Or Wonderland's gotten the memo that it's not very popular. As much as being a guy was fun, it wasn't. Still have no appreciation for what your gender goes through.
[ she's really glad she can wake up and feel happy and not be happy. ]
[There's only so much you can say about having an archangel nesting in your ass and planning on using you as a vessel for an Apocalypse that's already long over, and for the most part Adam prefers to keep the Michael talk to a minimum where he can.
On at least one point, Michael and Wonderland have something in common: neither the angel or the place seems to care if they're popular.]
Better hope it doesn't happen again and nobody has to develop any.
[ cora's not really sure where to start on how he's healed, bruise possibly gone and all, but she figures that, if she can figure out how the hell to ask him, she will. the things he says are strange and difficult to comprehend, as angels are real and bad news, but it never really hurts to learn more about the crazy shit within wonderland. knowing her luck, she'd walk right into it. ]
Thanks for your help, anyway.
[ even though, truthfully, he hadn't been much of a help at all. he'd only confirmed that going to the gazebo and switching genders hadn't been a cora-only event. but to know someone else wasn't as confident and happy in their new form did help. just a little. ]
[Now Cora's just being polite. Adam knows he hasn't done much to help anybody with their Wonderland problems, unless being a good sport when Cora gets lippy counts.]
Not like I did much. But you're welcome. Thanks for the text.
[Because if she'd sent it to check up on him, she didn't have to.]
