"Let the light scatter and bring about a new dawn."

“Again...? This isn’t good...”

After the previous incident with Ruby the other day, Celica had thought that her body-swapping experiences were finished for the coming lifetime (or whatever counted for a life in this place). As it turns out, fate had other plans, and those plans were unfolding at this very moment. Would this ever end...?

A small nap over at her sister’s place-a common event now that the Mercury siblings had been reunited under good circumstances after so long-took a turn for the strange when Celica found herself not only suddenly awake, but standing over the kitchen sink with a dish in her hand, a good room over from the couch where she’d fallen asleep. It only took her a moment to realize what had happened, based on what had occurred to her the other day-the black gloves, dark dress, hair over one eye and high heels she was suddenly wearing helped too. Wanting to make sure that Nine was alright, Celica started making her way over to the living room, struggling not to trip over herself with how unused to her current footwear she was.

“Jeez, how do you walk in these things? We need to have a talk about this later...”

Putting aside her griping for the moment, she kept her hands on the counter to help keep her balance as she made it over to the door, opening it gently so as to not wake up herself-er, rather, her sister (would she still be sleeping...?) and keeping her voice barely above a whisper.

“... Huh... Where am I...?”

It had been a completely ordinary day (well, as ordinary as this place could get, anyway), up until that moment at least. After spending most of the afternoon cleaning up her apartment, Celica had gone off on one of her usual nighttime strolls, looking at how much the city had changed from when she’d last been there. It had only taken her a couple minutes in to find herself in unfamiliar territory, distantly away from her place of residence, but she hadn’t taken any notice, enjoying all the beautiful sights among the way. Hours later, about the time she’d decided it was time to try and find her way back (the key word there being try), a flash of white light suddenly appeared, taking away not only her vision, but her ability to feel any part of her body. It was as if her consciousness was being taken out of her body and put somewhere else... 

It had only been for a brief moment. The feeling passed by so quickly that Celica momentarily wondered if she’d just imagined it, shaking her head to try and get a hold of herself. Finally taking note of her surroundings however, clued her into the fact that something had happened-she was now in a completely different part of the city, nowhere near wherever it was that she’d been before.

“... Minerva? Where’d you go-Huh? My voice...?”

It took Celica until that moment to realize that her usual companion had also disappeared... Perhaps she’d been left behind? She hoped that Minerva hadn’t been harmed somehow, but being as strong as she was, she wasn’t too worried. Moreover, hearing herself speak brought her attention back to herself-her voice sounded much more high-pitched and... squeaker, then usual, almost as if it wasn’t her own. And speaking of changes... It wasn’t too noticeable, but Celica could’ve sworn that the buildings weren’t quite as tall from her perspective as they had been before.

A bit late (blame my busy work schedule) but given a certain gag reel it’s absolutely mandatory that the BlazBlue cast take part in this. So, with that being said, if you feel like swapping bodies with an idiot who’s heart is too big for her own good, here’s an info post for Celica and a plotter call for the event, so like if you’re interested:

“... I know.”

It had been a bad day to linger about the distant past (well, not so distant for her, but to the others it would be something from far before their time). Everyone in their little group had decided to get together that day, and she didn’t want to say no to spending time with others. But Celica couldn’t help it-it was just one of those few bad times where she couldn’t stop thinking about the war, and what had happened after it. She’d tried her best to appear engaged with the activities, and of course it didn’t work, and of course someone eventually tried to comfort her a little bit. But Makoto didn’t have to tell her what she’d already told herself a thousand times. Rationally, she knew there wasn’t anything she could’ve done to bring about a different outcome. Yet...

“Huh? Over there, is that....?”

An evening stroll through Star Trail to try and find tonight’s dinner led Celica to catch sight of an unexpected familiar face. Though she’d met the pale young girl a couple of times back in her world, it was usually under hectic-and very violent-circumstances. They’d even fought against each other at one point. Looking at her right now though, the prime field device didn’t seem to be trying to harm anyone in the vicinity, rather she seemed to be keeping to herself. Would it hurt to try and approach her...? Minerva was nearby in case things turned ugly, and despite their previous encounters, Celica couldn’t bring herself to just leave her there. For whatever reason, though it didn’t show on her face or anything like that, the other girl just seemed so... lonely.

               ❝   — Celica, what are you doing in this weather dressed like that ?!   ❞

       NATURALLY   , the officer’s quick to take off her own cloak and drape it around her shoulders. Were her legs always practically see-through — ??

“C’mon girl, if you’re not careful, you’re gonna freeze to death! Just think about how bad it’s gonna get if it starts snowing! Here, take some hand warmers. Don’t worry, I got lots.”

“H-huh!? Tsubaki, Makoto...?”

Celica was caught off-guard by the sudden appearance of her old friends, being smothered by Tsubaki’s coat and Makoto’s mittens before she could protest. Now she was much warmer thanks to them, but...

“I-i-it’s f-freezing out here... I h-hope it w-w-warms up before t-too l-l-long...”

listen a lot of those were rude so i didn’t have much choice
