5% [location: Shelley; Spencer's... beautiful two story home??]
After spending a week in a female body, Spencer had been thrilled to finally wake up as himself again. He was all out of sorts yesterday. He tried to read and work on running his stats of arrivals and departures, but he couldn't concentrate. Around 9 o'clock, he fell into bed.
This morning, he woke to the sensation that there was somebody in bed with him. He nearly fell out of the bed when he realized that it was Beckett. Quietly, so as not to wake her, he had slipped from his room into... a house? His apartment had turned quite suddenly into something that it was not last night. His furniture was now art deco and he had a television - one that he suspected only showed programs in black and white.
Spencer had made his way to the kitchen and brewed a cup of coffee in an ancient looking pot (which somehow worked like it was brand new). Now he stood staring out the large window in the kitchen, clutching his mug of coffee and contemplating the beautiful manicured green lawn in front of him, which stretched to a white picket fence.
He pushed his glasses up his nose and wrapped his robe further around him. Spencer had no idea what to make or this, or what to make of waking up to find Beckett sleeping beside him.
[OOC - This is for Spencer, Kate, River, Ax and Kara to have their family shenanigans. Although, any friendly neighbors who want to stop by are also welcome.]

Once Kate turns her back, Kara runs a hand through her hair and gives Spencer a 'oh dear god, what?' look.
no subject
"This is some sort of glitch... Beckett thinks she and I have been married for years and that we have children. I think we just need to play along though."
no subject
"What are your plans today, Kara? I thought we might go shopping if you're free."
no subject
"Uhm, no plans, really. Just working on a big science project for school. I... was maybe hoping I could get S-- Uncle Spencer's help with that, actually."
Wow is it weird to call him that. But at least now she's got a reason for them to talk and theorize.
no subject
"Oh.. yes I should be able to help you with that today, Kara. Perhaps we should use my office..."
no subject
It wasn't, really, but Kate had been taught that women were supposed to be pretty or smart. And Kate was pretty. However, Kara was pretty and smart, so Kate secretly hoped the trend was shifting.
no subject
... right? Plus, she wasn't sure if her 'cousins' were going to be glitched or not and if they walked in on discussions about stupid hamsters and alternate universes. Well. Kara wasn't really looking to be thrown in an insane asylum.
no subject
He stood up, motioning for Kara to follow him.

"Sounds good to me."
no subject
"They couldn't even give us more than a day to enjoy the feel of our own bodies again?"
no subject
"They're sadists. Of course not. It's not their MO," she said flatly. "What I hate is the fact that they made me human."
no subject
"Do you find being a human distasteful?"
no subject
"But I like being my own species. When I'm me, I'm invulnerable, or something close to it. It's... easier to not get hurt-- " And she doesn't just mean physically there, "-- or at least, easier to brush it off. Now? Now I get papercuts."
no subject
Spencer supposed that if he ever was anything greater than a human, he wouldn't want to go back either. He sighed.
"How long do you estimate that we will be tortured with this ruse?"
no subject
She doesn't look happy about that fact. At all.
