#32 - [Accidental Video Post/Audio Post]

[totallyinaband]

[The video opens as Stephen's device is resting on his bedside table. There is an unfamiliar woman in a baggy t-shirt and plaid pajama bottoms crashing around the room, muttering to herself. Se leaves the shot for several minutes, and returns wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a plaid shirt. She stops in front of a mirror and peers at the reflection with barely concealed horror. She finally sighs and rams a toque down over her long auburn hair. She whirls around and picks up the device, unaware it's recording. The viewer gets a close up on what may be a familiar face. The feed suddenly switches to audio.]

Seriously? Again? Jesus fucking Christ. I didn't enjoy this last time, City, and I'm not going to today.

[The audio ends with a definite click.]

[ooc: Hey people who may have been around when this happened the first time! Lady!Stephen is back! Replies will be coming from ladyinaband]

Thanks.

The most annoying part is that this is happening in August. I'm trying to wear as many clothes as possible, here.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Why so many clothes? Go out in a bikini and witness your power over most of the boys in the City and some of the girls.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Because I have a girl body, Lucy. I'm pretty sure I gave up those recently.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

So, by your logic, I should cover up as much as I possibly can because I'm not a lesbian?

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

No, dude, I didn't mean...

[Stephen stops and sighs.]

It's just, last time this happened - it's not so much the being a girl part. But I'm not me. Like, I look down and I don't recognise myself. I feel like I'm inside a body that's completely alien to me. It's kind of enough to really freak a guy out. So, you, know, staying in my clothes, trying to cover it up... It softens the blow a little.

The boobs are still freaky, though.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Okay. I get that.

Stephen, boobs are awesome. They are like the most powerful things in the universe.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

They're weird. And uncomfortable.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're absolutely a gay guy.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the reminder.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

I really hope this isn't going to be for the whole weekend, like that time I turned 15. I need to go into work tomorrow.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure the Blue Light would roll with you being a girl for the day. It's kind of a common thing.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they'd roll with it. It's me I'm panicing for.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Stephen, your problem whether you're a girl or a boy is the same: You're too uptight about yourself.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yeah. Julie used to tell me that a lot, too.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

So...take a hint and try relaxing?

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

I'm working on it. We performed a gig the other day and I didn't even throw up first.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm actually proud of you. Now keep working on it.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. Maybe there's a 12-step program or something.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I'll have to make one.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Worriers Anonymous?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

That could work.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

You have one member, anyway.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I think it's better to start small and then expand.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan.

Uh, so. I decided I'm telling Neil tomorrow.
