Ask how the whole save-the-world thing is going.

You need the journey of a fortnight to happen before the journey, right? Save the body switching for the boat ride. It's not a journey I alone make if my husband's body is there too.

Valuable things do not include valuable persons.

"When we're done with it" leaves a lot of room for interpretation. We can decide we're never done with the ship, and that'd give us the opportunity to trap this one.

Holy shit. The most valuable thing there might be the King of the Tyrant Star himself. This could go so right... or so wrong.

Haggle to bring your beau with you to the Peak of Skant.

What about, the most valuable thing that cannot give one power over the Tyrant Star? If we take out the King but lose his Most Terrible Crown That Grants You A Backdoor Into The Tyrant Stars Mind...I don't think our employer will consider that a Job Well Done.

>>744198
this!
plus valuable things dont include valuable persons
plus lets bring bruco to the journey
besides, he is hers and she is his, they are joined, they should sort of be one (item)
.....plus, we select which ship he possesses. wouldnt want him to posess the Tyrant Star.

bodyswap is good though

Yes to all of them but the graverobbing. Never had much of a taste for the stuff. As for value, you can have the loot with the most monetary value that we can get our hands on, rather than sentimental value.

The most valuable thing you take back instead of find. Dont want to be forced to grab trapped loot, or made to carry a gold statue bigger than the ship.

Okay, I think we may have a wonderful opportunity here. We're on a quest to kill the king, but Peregrinate doesn't know that. So if we can define "most valuable thing we find" to be the king, and Peregrinate's subsequent possession thereof to be, well, possession, then we've got an awesome win/win, as follows:
1) Keep whatever loot would otherwise have been spiritually appropriated.
2) Demonstrate the gory side of sorcery for those two lovestruck corsairs so they'll understand and/or respect it a little better.
3) Ritually execute the king to get an awesome travel cantrip.

Biggest potential problem I can see with the soul-swap is that it might mess up martial arts styles to be practicing in the wrong body.

It can happen after. Let's say you have a week after you finish your task to start mine.

>>744281
The graverobbing is nonnegotiable.

>>744285
No deal. If it means exposure to danger, I'm confident you'll be able to handle it.
Don't worry about carrying it.

>>744198
Granted. Interfering in the completion of your mission would go against my guarantee of satisfaction.

>>744160
I'll grant this one to you on this condition: nobody besides you or your husband must realize that you have switched bodies. If they do, you're journeying up the mountain without him.

What do you say, sorceress? Ready for the vacation voyage of your life?

>>744354
>nobody besides you or your husband must realize that you have switched bodies.
Oh hoho.
This'll be fun.
Just give us a minute to clue him in and it's a deal.

i don't think we can talk to bruco before the deal is complete, but yeah, all these terms sound kosher. let's do it, then let's explain it all to bruco.

>I'll grant this one to you on this condition: nobody besides you or your husband must realize that you have switched bodies. If they do, you're journeying up the mountain without him.
...do I get a chance to warn him? The game's gonna be up pretty quick if he's switched by surprise and goes "ah I'm in the wrong body".

Deal.

How about NO.

Renegotiate. You know this will haunt you forever. Seriously, if you're curious then invocate on your own time, not by casually raping your husband.

Can't think of a good reason not to.

Ya!

>>744407
No one was talking about rape, what the fuck are you on about?

we specifically made a rule with bruco that we can't do something weird or humiliating without telling him first. it's probably not a good idea to break a ground rule we set ourselves. at the very least, make the spirit only swap our bodies on commencement of the journey so we can give bruco time to prepare.

>>744458
Then the spirit will probably allow us to stick to that rule. If the only way this could work was forcing us to break a prior agreement would also go against satisfaction.

>>744458
Oh shit, I forgot.
Yeah, discuss it with him now if you can.

>>744466
! yeah

I need to be able to warn him of what's about to happen.
Why? He'll find out.
This is nonnegotiable.
Well well well. Nonnegotiable from a mortal. That's really something.
We have a deal, sorceress! And you'll have ten seconds.
[i]Fine.
Stellar. We hope you enjoy flying Peregrinate.


Strela's eyes snap open.
"Bruco," she says. "We have to switch bodies."
"Whuh?"
"The spirit says. And we can't tell anybody. I'm sorry!"
"Oh." Bruco blinks. "No prob"

"--lem." Bruco coughs. "No problem-- whoa."
"Did w--" Strela freezes. She clears her throat. "Did we sw-- oh shit--" She coughs.
It is an incredibly unsettling feeling to think words out and have them come out in a different person's voice. It makes her feel a little sick. "Oh, shit," she repeats, marvelling at the unwelcome bass tone of it. It makes her-- his? throat tingle in such an unfamiliar way.
The ghost silhouette of her nose on either side of her vision is different. She's actually afraid to look down. Bruco is in the same petrified state she is.
He very cautiously moves his hand to his face, flexes his fingers, then moves it to his chest and squishes his left breast. "Dude," he says. He bounces it a little.
Strela works up the courage to look down at herself. Seeing the wide, flat, broad stretch of thick Bruco torso still makes her jump. Her arms are so much lighter-feeling with all the extra Bandara musclepower behind them they lift almost by themselves.
"Pretty good view you got here," Bruco is saying.

Does her voice sound like that?

THIS IS SO WEIRD.

you're not really going to pass up the opportunity for body-swap sex are you

Okay.
This is manageable.
You're both already intimately familiar with each other's bodies.
This is just a different perspective.
You should both take a few minutes to familiarize yourselves with... yourselves.
You should clarify that this isn't permanent and then lay out some kind of plan.

>>744565
The biggest problem is going to be if any combat occurs, since you're both used to martial arts in very different bodies, and the styles you've trained in are sort of unsuited for each other.

Did your skills / powers stay with the body, or did they stay with the personality?

>>744573

"Are you thinking," Strela says, carefully, "what I'm thinking?"

"Yep," Bruco says.

"I mean when are we going to get the opportunity to do this again?"
"Mhmm."
"And we need to get used to each other's bodies, right?"
Bruco grins. "We do."
"So," Strela says. "We going for it?"
"I'm ready if you are," Bruco says.

With a sweep of her leg Strela sends the books and parchments flying out of the way.

Bruco springs up from his sitting position and into the Boar stance.

"Submission?" Strela asks.
"Naw," Bruco says. "First grounded."
"C'mon."
"I don't know how much your body can take."
Strela smirks as they circle. "Yeah you do, big guy."
"All right all right. How bout three count pin."
"Deal." Strela pushes her leg forward and does her best to get into a viper stance.

She almost staggers for a second with the way Bruco's weight is distributed, but then finds her footing.

1]] Rush Bruco. While you're both still figuring yourselves out.
2]] Get in touch with your inner Boar, ground yourself, and wait for Bruco to make the first move.
3]] Stay in Viper, and keep circling so you have the chance to get a feel for your new musculature. Try and identify your own weaknesses.
4]] Keep circling but focus on how Bruco carries himself in your body rather than how you carry yourself in his. Try and identify his weaknesses.
5]] Just fight how you'd normally fight. Can't be that different.
6]] FLYING KICKU
7]] Try and use a technique: ____________
8]] _____________

3.
Then 6.

4, then 6, because how will he defend against your FLYING KICKU without his manly physique? (What? Dodge? Don't be silly.)

>>744583
8]] Admire own butt, admire Bruco's dick, acquire first boner ever, slap your face with it with a kong fu dick slap

Definitely 3.
She'll definitely want to be familiar with Bruco's body.
More so than she already is, I mean.

3, but we have got to do FLYING KICKU at one point

Strela circles, and checks in with herself.

She can tell just from the way she's moving; Bruco's body has a lot more raw muscle than hers, especially in the upper body. Strela usually relies on sharp bone and speed to sting with her punches, but Bruco's got a pair of sledgehammers. It probably has more to do with being a Bandara than being a male, but he's tight and thick all over.
The tradeoff to that tightness is that his body feels much more restrictive than hers. Strela's body is all loose, liquid energy; Bruco feels like a closed fist. She's a whip, and he's coiled. Her customary springs and snap kicks are going to be impossible without a great deal of practice in this body. And any light, ungrounded movement is going to be a bigger problem. Her own weight might anchor her and lend her hitting power but it can be used against her to unbalance her and blow her stances wide open. It gives her less margin for error.

She takes a deep breath.
Across from her Bruco's footfalls are getting lighter as he slowly tries to adapt to Strela's body.

1]] Make the first move. Sweep him and try and get him grounded while he's finding his footing.
2]] Make the first move. Duck into fist range and get punching. He's not used to having less padding so hit him hard.
3]] Stop circling, plant yourself hard, and get ready to counter. Get a better idea of his movements and don't give him any openings.
4]] Rely on your new muscle and for an all-in tackle. He's never had to fight himself before.
5]] FLYING KICKU!!!
6]] Use a technique: ____________

((as a reminder, techniques can be found on http://tgchan.org/wiki/Bruco_and_Strela_are_Married . Strela still has no idea if they'll work or not.))

4. Raw muscle is easier to use than catlike grace. We have the advantage early-fight when they're both clumsy.

FLYING KICKU

2 with SPITTING COBRA

3.
This is a learning phase. She's not quite ready to go full offensive. Best to practice her defenses first.

>>744605
3 and 6: Sting.

Sting's a good choice to test if techs work, since it's not very physical. And this forces Bruce to either let you shoot him at range, or close where you can counter physically, as you're planted to do.
