"Or I could always walk over there and flip another switch," Rowan said with a bitter edge to his Canadian voice, once again reminded of the fact that he had started the machine in the first place. "I'm sure that'll go down well."

Taryn stuck her computer into her jacket pocket. She recognized Levi's gestures and when he asked how she was realized that it Levi was 'back'. Taryn grinned and nodded in response to his question. "I'm alright." she said. "We need to be over there, though." Taryn pointed to where Garrus was standing. Following her own advice she walked toward Mordtoten's desk. 'Don't want to get re-switched and make things complicated.' Taryn thought. She wanted to ask about Victor but held off on her questions. For a little bit.
Tyson woke up with his head throbbing and a gag in his mouth. Well at least I know I'm in the correct body. Tyson removed the gag and shouted out, "I no longer have to type out my every fucking thought on that visor!" Tyson stood up and walked over to the group gathering around Mordtoten.
"Yeah I am. It's funny, confusing, and awkward. I'm sure Jason feels the same way being in your body. But seriously, this shit is bananas. Can we hurry up and go back to status quo? Nothing against you little lady, but all this body switching is making my head hurt." Erebus replied with another chuckle.

"This is very...interesting..." Jason said quietly to himself as he began to curiously explore the 'assets' of a female body, Marrissa slapping his hands away, scolding him.
"Ok Doc, I think it's time to try this again." Marrissa suggested dully.

As Levi followed Taryn over to Mordtoten's desk, he became aware of the lingering coldness that was Victor in the very back of his head. It seemed that he was still out of it, but that wouldn't last for very long, and he knew it. Leaning against the desk, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing inward. The switch had severely disrupted the mental defenses he had erected over the years to keep Victor at bay. It would take a few days at most to regain complete control. For now, Levi pushed the dormant, lingering coldness as far back as he could manage and opened his eyes. His gaze focused on the floor for a moment before he looked back up at Taryn. "That was...interesting to say the least," he said in a massive understatement.
Richard and Lillian had both been switched back to their own bodies, quickly getting out of the way before saying a word. Lillian taking her baby and Richard checking through the systems of his suit.
"None taken Tommy, I much prefer having my own body. If only so that my child now recognizes me. I know it was my body and all but still."

Alex looked at her arms and sighed. "Thank god I'm in my body again." Alex said fixing her hair. "God you got shit in my hair Brian damnit." she said and looked at Eric.
"I'm me again..... but awww I didn't get to play with Richard's body." Eric pouted and sighed. "Oh well it's better then being in another body." he said.

Ethan sighed after awaking from the body switching, standing up slowly as he saw his own body getting up a few feet away. It took him only a second to figure out who he was, mainly because of the weight of having long hair and how close he was to his natural height. There was a slight pause as he and the person in his body stared at him before they both jumped up in the air and hi-fived.
"Haha I'm kinda alright with this switch," Ethan joked as he gave his brother who was stuck in his body a pat on the back.
"Beep bop boooooop," Leland replied back, feeling a bit of pain when he landed back down form his injuries, "Bop beep bep."
"Yeah I get what you mean. I'll be sure to get to mending when I get back into my own body. Man wish I had time to enjoy being in your body. I wouldn't mind belting out some high-pitched metal scream or something like tha- OH GOD THE VOICES!" Ethan yelled out as he clutched his head in pain, "Dear god it's like getting bombarded with spam mails! Except these ones aren't about getting a free iPad by going to a site or about penis enlargement!"
"Boop
beep bop," Leland replied, keeping Ethan from falling over.
"Argh just flip the switch Professor!" Ethan yelled, Mordtoten obliging and flipping the Juicer 3000 on again.

The machine flashed and the remaining switchees went down again. Brian was the first to regain consciousness. This was a good sign for him.
Please let me be in my own body. Please let me be in my own body. Please let me be in my own body... He opened his eyes to see his familiar gray Adidas sneakers sticking up in front of him.
"Oh my God, yes! Holy freaking jeez, eh!?! Bout time! Ah, yes, good to be back in the old body there. All that mind switching and stuff, was getting on my nerves, you know? Oh jeez, Prof man, you don't have a beer or two kicking around do ya? I could really go for one after all that."

"Oh please, I practically have a bar upstairs. Take whatever you want, more than enough for everyone in this damned city. So are you all good? I can power the machine down right?" Mordtoten asked after answering Brian, getting a few nods that everything was back in order, "Thank goodness. Now you guys can leave and I can get back to mustering up the will to play Amnesia again."
"Thanks for fixing us Professor~!" Leland called out happily now that he was back in his own body.
"Even though you also caused it," Garrus muttered with slight anger as he played with Renton.
"Oh boo-hoo, it's done now and we can all move along. No one is dead or is suddenly a book or whatever else could have happened if the Juicer 5000 had malfunctioned in a different way," Mordtoten scoffed, crossing his arms after raising his goggles onto his forehead.

Tyson walked up to Mordtoten. "Don't listen to them. Its clearly their fault for fucking around with something they didn't understand, but you probably already know that. Anyways can you do me a favour and get a construction permit before you start up that drill or do any sort of expansion on your house to save all of us a lot of time?" Tyson said quietly so no one other than the two of them could clearly hear him.
Tyson turned and left up the stairs after Brian. "Brian ,you're going to have to heal Ethan. Leland never really got around to it during the ride over." Tyson followed behind Brian planning on grabbed a bottle of scotch before they left. Its been a while but I really need a fucking drink after all of this shit.

"I already put in the request after I was arrested for stealing those apples, so you don't need to worry about that. Hopefully the next time you see me it's when I actually invite you over after completing my masterpiece!" Mordtoten replied, getting a bit more cheerful at the aspect of continuing his work on his next invention.
"Yeeeeaahh no. I don't think I ever want to come back on the off-chance something happens again," Garrus said unenthusiastically, adding, "Hell I don't even want to be here now. I want to get the hell home and sleep all of tomorrow."
"Yeeeeaahh no. I don't think I ever want to come back on the off-chance something happens again," Garrus said unenthusiastically, adding, "Hell I don't even want to be here now. I want to get the hell home and sleep all of tomorrow."
"All right give me a sec, man. I heal better with a beer in me, you know? Especially after all that," Brian said as he headed up to the bar that the Professor indicated. He found what he wanted in there. It was Budweiser, but it would do for now. He grabbed one of the bottles and powered it down immediately, taking another one for the road. "All right, let's heal the robot boy, eh?"
He headed back down to the lab, seeing Requiem laying there, spikes out but holes still plentiful in his torso. "All right, Ethan," he told the cyborg. It didn't feel right to call him by the code name, not after seeing that there was life in this hunk of metal. "I'm going to fix you up, but you're going to lie down, nice and still so I can do this, k?"
"
," came the response. Brian gently put him back on the ground. "OK, like I said, lie perfectly still. Don't need any circuitry ending up in your brain, you know?" He put his hands onto the torso, doing his best to avoid the.....stuff coming out and started concentrating. There were a lot of holes, so this would take a little time.

Beep BeepEthan stayed completely still as Brian healed him to the point where he was even holding his breath, making absolutely no movement as he stared at the ceiling.
"Bop beep," he beeped to Brian, Leland walking over to translate.
"He says he's very thankful that you are healing," Leland told Brian, waiting for Ethan to continue.
"
beep BIP."
"He also says that half of his brain is already circuits and such, so it wouldn't be too big of a deal. Not sure if he is joking with that one, can't tell sarcasm through computer beeps," Leland said, taking a seat before standing up after Garrus said they were heading out.

"Oh, thank God," Katie murmured, breathing a heavy sigh of relief at the fact that it was all over, and she was in her own body again. Unsure of how well her powers would respond, she tried shrinking her armour down a bit. Thankfully her plants responded perfectly, the growth processes quickly reversing themselves and removing certain portions of her armour. After a few minutes, this left Katie with a headband and a loose scarf-like article around her shoulders, both made out of curved twigs and leaves.
With her armour removed, Katie followed the others up to the bar and gratefully took a seat.
[hr]
Rowan took a little longer to check that he was alright, examining himself in a mirror and checking that nothing was out of place. Due to the fact that both Richard and Brian had used his primary power, he would have to test his abilities another time to ensure that they were working at optimal capacity. And there was no sense in checking the psychic bolt in the house of someone who was practically a stranger. Perhaps there was a spare or derelict punching bag that he could fill with concrete or something, on which to test his mental weapon.

Katie's projection quickly disappeared from the Mindscape, slowly being replaced with Jason's, the body sprawled out on the floor of the vast psyche.
"Hm. That was fast." Erebus quipped simply, kneeling down near his Keyholder.
"Welcome back bro. I hope you had a nice trip." he added, helping Jason to his feet.
"I wish I did too. Even in Garrus' body, I was still a slave to my emotions. Oh well. At least I know what it feels like to be a girl." Jason answered.
"Yeah, for like, 15 seconds." Erebus added with a chuckle.
[hr]
In the real world...
Marrissa sat among the others at Mordtoten's bar, attempting to put up a defense concerning how she would be able to drink alcohol, despite her young age. Eventually, she noticed Katie make her way up from the basement, speaking and acting quite normally.
"That must mean..." Marrissa quickly looked back towards the basement door, eyes widening happily as Jason made his way up the stairs. She jumped from her stool, running up to hug her older brother.
"Everything's back to normal?" She asked, looking up at him.
"Yup. Feels good to be back." He answered, returning her hug.

Tyson walked behind the bar and picked out a bottle of twenty one year old Springbank single malt scotch whisky. Tyson tossed two ice cubes into the air and pulled out a glass and put it on the bar. As Tyson removed the cap of the bottle the ice cubes made a clang as they landed inside the glass. Tyson poured the whisky till the glass was half full and took a sip. Turning around to the people who were relocating to Mordtoten's bar Tyson announced, "Bartender Tyson at your service. I'll make you one drink for here and one to go."
It was a slow process, working with a larger body than his own, and trying to make sure that none of the actual robotic parts were moved into the wrong place. Brian wasn't sure if his powers wouldn't even just heal through the robotic parts and replace them. But the holes in the torso were disappearing, that was the main thing. The red of the guts were quickly being covered by the human colored skin growing over it. Soon it was over.
"All right, there you go man. I've never had to heal a cyborg before, but that should do it. Just give it a second to settle, make sure everything still moves all right, you know? If something feels out of place, let me know." Brian popped the top of the other bottle and drank it down almost as quick as the first. "Ah yeah, it may taste like piss, but it's perfect right now."
He made his way upstairs where Tyson had broken into the Professor's scotch. "I'll take a hit of that, man."

Ethan stayed still for the second Brian said to before sitting up and thanking the man with a handshake, deciding to follow everyone else and head up to the bar where he took a seat at the dining room table. He noticed a container of Giga Pudding that Mordtoten had and beeped excitedly, heading to the kitchen to get everything needed to make it before Mordtoten showed up and shooed him out.
"I told you that you can drink my alcohol not eat all my imported food. And why the hell are you guys still here? Those drinks should have been to go since yo guys said your place got busted up by the Union," Mordtoten said to them, putting away the fly swatter he used to get Ethan out as he walked over.
"Oh god you're right! We have to head back now guys so that we can really figure out the damage done and to kick anyone's ass if they are still there," Garrus said as he facepalmed that they had forgotten.
"Boy short-sighted are we eh? Thank goodness a few of us have our own places where we can stay," Leland replied with a laugh, patting his brother's back as they went out to get on the Merriweather.
