Bodyswap Janka. (don’t ask me how i haven’t figured that out yet.)
Zanka waking up in Jabber’s body. Zanka being thrown into fight or flight. Zanka realizing he’s in the raider HQ and knowing he needs to leave immediately because this is a battle he simply cannot win. Maybe he gets caught sneaking out, or maybe he tries to talk to a more reasonable member *Cthoni*. Maybe he ends up in a confrontation with all the raiders. Except…
None of them believe him.
They all think this is some elaborate prank Jabber is pulling to get the raiders to bring him closer to Zanka. Zanka himself has tried to leave on his own, but he doesn’t know how to drive. No one else will drive him. Cthoni refuses to teleport to cleaner HQ since it’s a ‘suicide mission’. Zanka can’t walk back because he doesn’t actually know where they are.
Meanwhile, Jabber is having the time of his life.
Jabber waking up in Zanka’s body. Jabber deciding that the best course of action is to pretend to be Zanka for as long as he can. Jabber getting found out almost immediately because Assistaff isn’t responding to him and Zanka doesn’t spend his time staring at others with half a grin and eyes too wide. Jabber doesn’t care anyways, because the cleaners can’t do anything about it. Jabber having “no idea where the raiders are now, because the base is constantly changing locations” (lie).
Jabber spending hours locked up in his Zanka’s room, ripping thin scars and pressing bruises into the foreign body. It feels different, but it still feels so good. (After all, masochism is just the brain’s interpretation of feelings, so Jabber would keep that… ) And of course, Zanka’s nearly unblemished body looks divine with all of Jabber’s new markings, so why would he stop…
