Preparing for the Worst (?)







Elly~ You look deep in thought.
Ramune'~ I'm trying to see a way out.


Elly~ Bounce it off me, see if I can help.


Ramune'~ Well, you know Jack's around,
and Alex is getting suspicious. Have you
met the Sorceress?
Elly~ ?? I've only met Jack.
Ramune'~ Well, she cursed Lexi just as the 
 betrothal was to be announced, somehow shoving
her into a boy's body, someone who lived far far
away. Lexi has no memories of her former life,
but the trauma causes nightmares, plus body/mind switches.
...and somehow I got swept up into the 
 conspiracy, so Niharika, the Sorceress, has me
monitoring the spell's effects and trying to keep 
Alex somewhat happy so the switch doesn't happen.
Elly~ Ohh! That's stressful! Is she evil then?
Ramune'~ You could say that. I don't know
what will happen to me if the spell breaks.
Elly~ It would be so romantic... I'll help
figure out something.
Maybe we could disguise you until the Sorceress 
goes away.
If only Jack hadn't been such a good detective.
