Miles Away

Miles McCarthy Hello there, people of the internet. I'm Miles, as it says up there. The most important thing to know about me is that I'm a proud single dad to a beautiful four year old girl, Ella. That's about all I know about myself most days. I work at a club, tending bar, so come pay me a visit sometime. Shout out to the sibs, Mase and Mads! Love you, nerds.

MADISON: It helps. Our bodies don't fit though. It's frustrating. 😡

MADISON: #foreverwhining

MASON: I'M NOT KISSING A 90 SOME YEAR OLD MAN!!!!

MASON: I think it's only because she still wants me to cuddle her and she's a lot taller now. The bodies we have are just awkward.

MASON: watch urself 4eyes

MILES: KISS THAT MAN! OWN IT!

MILES: ...why do I feel like she wasn't talking about cuddling? SQUINTS

MILES: Please, I lucked out with an adorable face, even with the glasses.

MADISON: I feel bad that Mason has a consistent sad wolf on his arm.

MADISON: It's going well. Everyone... seems to be okay. I still don't know who is who but luckily people are taking name tags.

MASON: at least the wolf is still there though.

MASON: Yeah, it's weird. The show's really weird and it's hard to not be thrown by some stuff but overall we're all okay. Minus the lead. She's an old man now, but we're working on it.

MASON: The party's alright, like Mads said. You gettin here soon dude? Chop chop. Get your butt here!

MILES: True. You can see it and know he's still yours. That's gotta be a nice feeling.

MILES: I'm sorry, but that's hilarious. She definitely should've still gone on. I'd pay to see that.

MILES: Alright, I'm on my way. I'm still trying to get used to these clothes and seeing through these glasses. I'm coming though!

So…I take it that makes you Miles then? And..you have a child who apparently was freaking out over not having her dad(’s face) there?

But yeah..hi, I’m Jason.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

Yeah, I am. She’s calmed down a little since last night. Elliott came over with Mason’s face to help me talk to her. It.. might help if you could see soon though? If you wouldn’t mind. I know this is weird. 

Hi, Jason. Nice to meet you despite the... weirdness.

MADISON: 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢

MASON: Madison's not really comfortable with her new body. We cuddled it out last night but I just feel bad. It's like... y'know.. none of us BELONG in these bodies.

MASON: I'm glad you have something to keep you normal feeling babe.

MILES: Tell me about it. I can't reach anything!

MILES: Thanks. I'm glad your show still went well, Mase. How's the party going?

MADISON: I mean, it doesn't really have to do with Mason and I. We know the consequences of speaking outloud of it. That's why we're taking advantage of our new bodies and going on actual dates.

MADISON: But -- it sucks still. It's just a reminder, I guess.

MASON: It's weird to see Elliott with my face be like NAH NOT INCESTUOUS because like lol but

MASON: personally i'm fine. I'm a little.. sad I guess? The world's a hateful place. ):

MASON: You could have brought Ella, babe.

MILES: She would've wanted to stay awake all night if I brought her. Her schedule is the only sense of normalcy I have right now. I ain't messing with it.

MILES: I'm sorry you have to see those things, even if they're not directed right to you. And I'm glad you're enjoying your... new body time? How's that dick handling going, Mads?

MILES: Hey guys! Sorry I'm running late. I had to do a... test thing to make sure the babysitter was actually my babysitter. And then Ella wouldn't let me leave until she fell asleep cause her babysitter looked a scary bald man. Her words, not mine.

MILES: ANYWAY. I just checked the dash and I wanted to make sure you guys were doing okay. With all the... stuff being said.

[heartovermindalice]

Lots of girls have them. They’re, um. Really, very nice. Yes.

Maybe you can even let me know if, erm, everything’s okay with them. Maybe. You don’t have to. But I wouldn’t mind. Feedback is good, and all. Heh.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

I  mean, true. I’ve felt boobs before. I’ve just never had them... on me. This conversation is so awkward, I’m sorry. 

If everything’s okay with your boobs? I mean... they seem great? 

[heartovermindalice]

But there are still a few differences between you, aren’t there? Even if they’re tiny, they are there, and it could mean that you might not recognise yourself. I know that it’s a different scenario, but my brother and I– we’re twins, too– we look quite similar, but there are differences between us.

That might be best. Honestly, I’m not the best in heels, and I’ve been wearing them for years. I just like having that small height boost, though it’s not by all that much. I– well, I certainly hope so. And I do hope you’re ready for my sort of style. Some people don’t particularly enjoy it– but as I said, I’ll try to give you tamer choices.

Maybe. But as to where they’ll come from, there’s no telling. I suppose we’ll have to wait patiently and see.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

I guess that’s true. His hair is definitely different. And Ella’s always been able to tell us apart, so there’s gotta be something, even if I don’t pay much attention. 

It is kinda weird be this much shorter. I can’t reach everything in my apartment anymore. My sister is taller than us for the first time ever and she thinks it’s hilarious. Oh? What kind of style do you have exactly? 

[elliottbomb]

We’ve got this. Totally.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

I appreciate your help. Seriously. She’s been a lot calmer today. 

[verybarryallen]

Is it any better for you over there?

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

It’s calmed down, yeah. Strangely, she seems to... get it? I found the person who has my brother’s face and he helped me explain things slowly and then she watched the TV. She’s a very smart little girl. 

[thelizaxlevin]

Shit…having a freaked out kid must not be helping matters much here. Have you found yourself yet? Or is the poor kid still having a crisis?

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

POINTS! That’s my face! It must be, cause I saw Elliott and he definitely had Mason’s face with that shaggy hair he has right now. 

[dreamsmallx]

Pretty weird way to meet someone, I will admit.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

What isn’t weird right now, right? 

[heartovermindalice]

– Oh. I just– I’m sorry. I assumed because you were… talking about mine you were interested in exploring… That– that was a very silly thing to conclude, I’m so sorry.

They’re, um. Yes. They’re… very soft.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

It’s alright. I’m sure plenty of people are thinking about it. I promise that wasn’t where I was going though. Just... intrigued. With the softness. 

[heartovermindalice]

Well, you never really see yourself, do you? Just reflections and photos. I guess that’s why it’d be a little strange. I’d be coming face to face with my face for the first time ever.

Oh– it’s alright. I understand. This body doesn’t exactly look fantastic in my clothes, as you might imagine. I’ll try and pick some tamer outfits for you; I’m guessing you won’t be a fan of skirts, heels and dresses.

I’m not quite sure either. Life has to go on, even if– we’re like this. But I’m not exactly positive how it’s going to go on.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

I mean... I have a twin brother so... I do sometimes. 

Heels is a definite no, simply because I will absolutely kill myself. But otherwise, whatever is fine. I’m not picky. And I’ve got the body for it. 

I’m not sure either. Maybe we’ll get some answers soon.

[dreamsmallx]

Hi, Miles. I’m Cadence and I also don’t usually look like this…but you already knew that.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

Well, it’s nice to meet you. With my sister’s face. Heh. 

[rosefromash]

I have no idea what’s going on either. I don’t think anyone does. Wish I could help you with your face, but I don’t even know where mine is …

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

Oh, uh... I’ve seen your face, dude! One of the Andersons has I think. Have you met any of them? 

[succuboy--ryan]

The mom did seem kind of odd when I rang her up and told her– She’d cancelled her plans, anyway. I feel bad for her kids though, if they’ve all swapped around.

[hashtagmilesm-blog]

I’m not sure what’s happening with the kids. My daughter is definitely still my daughter. But I don’t know if there’s a cut off age or what.
