[Justin wakes up in a place that is definitely not his room. This, however, is a thing that he notices only after the initial wave of agonizing pain subsides. Looking at the video feed, a careful observer will notice that this doesn't look like Justin. There's something different about the face, the hair...]

What...

[He's in the Welcome Center in one of the guest beds. Therefore, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Penny's voice can be heard in the background.]

Jimmy? Do you need more medicine?

I don't-- [Oh. Oh. Realization dawns--and is immediately derailed by pain. What the hell did Jimmy do?] Yes. Please.

Just give me a minute, okay?

Thanks.

[He notices the device's recording light. With a sigh that becomes a groan as moving proves to be a bad idea, Justin grabs the device. Before turning it off--]

Jimmy. I have something that belongs to you.


[ooc: Most pointless bodyswap of all time! Jimmy and Justin have swapped, Jimmy was clever enough to let House do a painful surgical procedure, and purple is Penny. Replies will come from ohcurses 

TRIGGER WARNING for the thread involving Carla.]

You're not enjoying yourself? I guess you wouldn't.

[She reaches down to put her hand on the wounded leg, letting her weight settle over it.]

[ohcurses]

[Justin's trying to keep his expression blank, but that gets a wince.]

Carla, what are you doing?

[dignity_misery]

[ Her fingers knead in deeper. ]

Too painful?

[ohcurses]

[He hisses in pain but can't convince his arms to move to stop her.]

Stop it.

[dignity_misery]

[She doesn't. But she leans in closer to his face again, threatening to kiss him.]

Does pain frighten you, Justin?

[ohcurses]

[Her closeness is worse than the pain.]

No.

[dignity_misery]

Good. [She praises him sweetly, breath on his skin.] You're not as cowardly as I thought.

[ohcurses]

[Too close. This intimacy is very much unwanted and Justin's voice is barely a whisper.]

Get off.

[dignity_misery]

Call for help, or stop me yourself.

[Her hand slides up his side, headed for his cheek to cup his face.]

Those are your options.

[ohcurses]

And if I don't do either?

[Paralysis is a really inconvenient physical manifestation of panic.]

[dignity_misery]

Then you have no say in the matter.

[ Just that simple. ]

[ohcurses]

[He finally grabs Carla's wrist--more delicately than the situation demands--and pulls it away from his face.]

[dignity_misery]

[She smiles, her head drooping to the side, she's only a little closer when she murmurs to his ear,]

I like Jimmy. He's a pretty good fuck. But I like to watch both of you squirm.

[She doesn't fight him for her wrist.]

[ohcurses]

[He's not sure which is more disturbing: Carla's actions, the fact that he's in a body that has had sex with Carla, or the sexual connotations.]

Why?

[With a great deal of hesitancy, he releases her wrist.]

[dignity_misery]

[ He should be uncomfortable with all of it. That's why she said it. To put it all in there in his head. ]

I like being the only thing someone can see, for a little while.

[To dominate. It's an obsession of hers, control.]

[ohcurses]

[It's there alright.]

You've had a little while. You can leave now.

[dignity_misery]

[Her words will linger longer than she will, she knows that. So she smiles, trailing her hand down his chest as she stands up.]

I'll see you around, Justin.

[ohcurses]

[He doesn't reply; there's no correct response to anything Carla says.

Maybe he'll take some of Jimmy's drugs and just... curl up in the fetal position for a while.]
