Have pranks gotten more elaborate since my time at school or are students becoming more and more disrespectful.
I don't know who switched all of my clothes around or what your intention was, but changing the size of them is incredibly simple. Men's clothes? Really? If there's a joke there I'm missing the humor of it.

That said, if my clothes aren't returned by the end of the day I will make each and every one of you regret it.

Especially this ma

[Filtered to staff]
It's not often I ask for help with such a strange situation
but
There's a strange man in my room. I've never seen him before and I certainly didn't bring him in here. He's already unarmed but I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm meant to do with him now.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated, because if he wakes up I am going to smother him with a cushion.

If you don't knock it off I am going to find you and clip you over the ears in front of all of your classmates.

[allisnotlost]

im startin to find this hard to read to the fact that youre callin me my owwn mother yet youre actin like this
honestly no disrespect but its comin up as far fetched as heck

[wwishful]

Come to my quarters.
Now.

[allisnotlost]

oh yes
yes maam

[YEP HE's going. Only... Eridan actually didn't know who's quarters to really go to so he had to take a few guesses but after a bit Muirín is going to finally get a knock on her door.]

[wwishful]

[She is waiting very impatiently in her room. She's spent a fair bit of time resizing all of this men's clothing into something more fitted and she's still not entirely satisfied.

As such. She's pretty pissed. Let's not even mention the guy in her bedroom which she made sure to lock the door to so Eridan doesn't get the wrong idea.

When she opens the door, she scowls at him for a long moment before she caves and leans down to press a kiss to his forehead. Nobody loves her dumb babies like she does. NOBODY.]

In.

[allisnotlost]

[This is all just too weird, especially when she opened the door and he saw who was writing all of those things. Lord almighty, he had never seen this woman before in his life... as far as he knew, anyways.

In fact if he squints a little... He can kind of see it. Maybe. No not really. in fact, to him, the only similarity to his family are those scars with matched his... late father's.

... This is all too weird.

Either way, the scowl was what he was expecting, but god damn when she stopped and kissed him, it took him completely off-guard. He tried to move in from the doorway, but all that he could muster was a small noise, trying to speak.]

Um...

[wwishful]

[Now she's less angry and more confused. Eridan seems strange, there's something off about him. Like her, it seems as if he's confused himself. Has he done something wrong? Is that why he's avoiding her?

She raises an eyebrow down at him, moving back a little and gesturing into the room.]

Come on. Are you alright?

[allisnotlost]

[Oh yeah, he's seriously confused right now. He doesn't understand what's happening and it's confusing him and he just doesn't like this. Normally, yeah, he'd probably get more vocal about his discomfort right now, but no. No he's not right now.

He takes a step back at that and shakes his head.]

You're not my mother.

[wwishful]

[She looks a little hurt for a second there. Is he saying that because she did something wrong? Is this what this is? A really elaborate guilt trip.

She just looks flabbergasted.]

I most certainly am, young man. Why would you say somethin' like that?

[allisnotlost]

Because you're not, ma'am. My mother doesn't hawe those scars.

[He feels weird trying to disclose on this. He doesn't talk much about his father these days, and whenever he does it's always good word, of course.

But...]

Only my father did.

[wwishful]

[She crinkles her nose down at him.]

Your father did NOT have these scars. [She snaps, but keeps her tone soft. The death of her husband and their father is still a touchy subject.]

I've had these scars since before I had you, actually. You cannot tell me you aren't my son, Eridan! I have the pictures to prove it! What do you have to prove your game?

[allisnotlost]

[With that, he furrows his brows. He's not one to get angry if he can help it, his momma's taught him better... but this woman? She's making him ticked off at the moment. His first and foremost priority is to let her see the heirloom left to him. He holds up his hand, palm toward himself as he pointed to it.]

Because my mother gawe me this ring when I was old enough to comprehend how important it was to her. And I hawe pictures to prowe that you're not my mother.

[wwishful]

[Well. That sells it. She takes his hand and brings it forward for closer inspection, paling a little at it.]

That's your father's ring... [She says in a small voice, trailing off before pulling back to cover her mouth with her hand. On her own hand is the identical ring. The one she kept instead of passing down to Eridan. She intended on doing so on his eighteenth birthday.]

Somethin' isn't right here. Do you feel strange at all? [She pauses to frown at herself for the vague question.] Like you've woken up somewhere you didn't belong?

[allisnotlost]

[He was so glad whenever she finally realized this. He had a small feeling himself but by someone else confirming it, gosh he was so glad to hear that.]

Um... Y-yeah. I mean, not so much, but... I still feel like this isn't right for a lot of reasons.

[He makes a small noise before continuing, as if trying to get his words up.]

I know some people aren't acting right but I just thought it was account of a horrible day of sorts, but... seein' you makes me think differently a course.

[wwishful]

[Idly, she reaches out and pets his hair in a comforting way before she pulls her hand back and makes a face of annoyance.]

Sorry. Habit.
[She tuts, tapping a finger on her chin.] I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this were another one of the castle's way of remindin' us whose in charge here. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say that rather than wakin' up in the wrong bodies, we've woken up in the wrong world.

[A pause.] But that seems awfully foolish. Perhaps a bit farfetched, too.

[allisnotlost]

[This time around he doesn't even flinch, he was sort of... alright with it, but he wasn't going to turn around and say that.]

It's okay.

[However, he then nods to her assumption, looking around her office.] M-Maybe, I mean, I kinda... think other than the different folk around, there's not much that's really changed I don't think.

But... I mean, seein' you just sets it all in stone that the castle's gotta be up to somethin'.

[wwishful]

[That's enough to draw a little smile out of her. For someone who isn't her son, he acts an awful lot like him. Enough to make her want to dote on him and then nag a little bit.]

It wouldn't be the first time it's pulled somethin' like this. [She rolls her eyes, just reflecting on it makes her pissed off.] Hopefully it isn't permanent.
