With a sigh, Kaylee turns on her--Spencer's--tablet, and does her best to offer a smile up to the citizens of Taxon. While Spencer's body is looking plenty tense (at least she's made it back to the ranch, that's gotta be a plus), his clothing has probably never looked so relaxed. T-shirt, jeans, no vests or collars or ties...

"Alright, this is Kaylee, callin' for a sound off. Who's who? And does anybody know where Malcolm Reynolds, River Tam, 'n Tony Stark might be findin' themselves in all this mess?"

"Tara in B'Elanna, alright...yeah, they got a good group, by the sound of it. Gorram hamsters."

"Please tell me that's Angel in there, then?" Kaylee hopes it is. There are very few people in this city she can think of that might do halfway okay as River. "You need a hand? I can come up."

"Won't let you in? Serenity won't?"

Kaylee pushes back from the table and heads for the door, which she ends up unconsciously ducking through because yeah, totally not used to being this tall. "I'll be right out."

"My..."

Oh geez. Quickly (and consequently half-erratically) Kaylee shakes her head. "No, no no no you don't gotta worry about it at all. No."

Well, I'm a little worried about someone else steering my body, but otherwise things are going well. I've been trying out the new pipes.

[He breaks out into "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story.]

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity anyone who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming, oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty that I hardly can believe I'm real."

"I like the sound of that! I'll drag everyone I know!"

Because seriously, everyone will need it after this!

"...Huh... I wonder what kind of rules they used or if was just random chance? I-I got swapped with someone I know... er... he knew me from Sunnydale. Did you know the person you got swapped with?"

Kate couldn't help but be thankful she'd dodged the bobyswap phenomenon.

"Does this kind of stuff happen a lot? How long will it last?"

"There are strict rules of etiquette."

Angel was never invited into Serenity, so now River-in-Angel's-body is similarly restricted. Which sucks, in River's expert (and terribly frustrated) opinion of things. Not that she wants Angel to have free run of her home; that would be bad if/when the aliens decide to bring Angelus back out.

She just doesn't want to stand outside the cargo bay, awkward and bowlegged, when she's got a bunk right there.

Say hi to the new boss, a bit different from the old boss.

"Hello Kaylee," Glitch said with a slight wave. He'd made his way back to Kara's room and changed into the most sensible outfit he could find: a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt emblazoned with the familiar stylized S. Presently he was getting used to ignoring gravity and sitting cross-legged in midair. "It's Glitch, and I guess I'm borrowing Kara."

Yeah. And acting all high and mighty about it. Says I'm too soft and vulnerable for her. Me.

If the circumstances had been halfway normal, Kaylee might have made a Teddy Bear comment here. Seeing as they aren't, however, she just offers him a halfway-decent smile. "Just ain't had the chance to really get to know you, s'all. She'll come to her senses."

Kaylee laughs, applauding the recital. "Sound nice. She's got a good voice in her, don't she?"

Kaylee's comments do have a mollifying effect. He sits down on an arm rest, but then has to adjust because everything feels so different.

"I feel like I should be sporting a cape, or a goddamn whip in this outfit."

"Does anyone have any idea why?" she asked, a small note of irritation in her voice.

Sure does! I'll have to talk her into doing karaoke at Caritas sometime. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy the borrowed pipes.

"Is it as hard to move in as it looks like it might be?"

"Just make sure she's still got a voice when you give it back."

"Might have to open it up to an Everybody's Night Out, at this rate." Kaylee won't disagree on that point.

She shakes her head. "Didn't know he even existed til today."

"Glitches? Glitches are pretty frequent, yeah. Normally last about a week..."

She frowns. "I don't...I dunno if I wanna...be him for a week." Not necessarily the Spencer part, but the male part.

"Etiquette? Which ones?"

Kaylee heads out of the house and toward Serenity. Angel doesn't look nearly as imposing from this body as he might from her own, she notes gladly. Size differences have been...kind of made up.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Hamsters got bored?" Kaylee shrugs. "Need to get themselves a television or somethin'."

Oh thank goodness Glitch--

Wait what.

Kaylee doesn't think she's ever seen Kara so covered, and she can't help the twitching at the corner of Spencer's mouth. It's just so hard not to laugh at that.

"...well, we had been talkin' about movin' some of the stuff in the shop around..." She's teasing, of course. Unless Kara okays it.

"It's pretty damned tight, I can tell you that." He responds with a faintly amused grimace.

"What's it like suddenly growing a pair." What? He's curious.

"You and Willow have the same problem," she notes, smiling a bit. For some reason, Cordelia knows that she should be a bit more sympathetic to Kaylee's plight, only she... isn't. Much. What? It's funny!

"Think of it as a learning experience, I guess? After all, not like everyday you get turned into a guy."

Seems like it's their specialty nowadays.
