[opposite event] This is a story all about how Taxon got flipped, turned upside down.

The idea, as it had been initially presented, was for citizens to experience what it was like to walk in someone else's shoes. In practice it became discovering what it was like to walk in their own shoes, if their taste in shoes were suddenly quite different from normal. The footwear still fit and was comfy, but the style was quite different.

For two weeks the prisoners of Taxon swapped their utilitarian Doc Martin's for trendy Louboutins (or vice versa) and all manner of shenanigans reigned.

What the hell?

Party's timid smile becomes more sheepish, and for a brief moment he takes on Kobra Kid's still-yet-awkward mannerisms, flashing a tentative grin before returning back to the sheepish curl of the lips.

"Well, you are," He agrees, and then tilts his head to the side. "And now you fight crime, is that what this is?"

"Exactly," she says, satisfied, as if everything has come together into one neat little puzzle. "I use my powers for good."

"Well, I'm a good person, too," Party insists, trying to leave the confusion somewhere behind him. "Really! The whole blowing things up because I'm frustrated was all teenage angst. I'm too old to be doing that sort of stuff now."

And, a shy smile.

"But I'm happy you're looking out for me. Even if you think I'm doing illegal things."

"You do look a little...healthier," Gwen concedes, nodding at him. She changed, why shouldn't he? It doesn't mean she won't watch him.

"Someone in this place needs to watch out for that stuff," she says with a prideful shrug.

That would have set Party off on another rant, but instead, he simply smiles at her words. "You've changed," He says, and there's a pleasant tone. That's a compliment, at least to this one.

"I just think it'd be easier if everyone was a little happier about all this," He confesses. "Focus on here instead of all that couldn't be. So you're doing a good job."

It's an interesting outlook, and one that Gwen never would have suspected coming from Party Poison's mouth, and she finds herself nodding in agreement.

Whereas the old Gwen would have given a skeptical look--all raised eyebrows and knowing smirk, and made some smartass remark--Electro Girl smiles proudly. "Thank you. You make sure to behave yourself, Party--Gerard."

"Gee's okay, too. I...Yeah." Gwen and Gee. Party's smile widens, but even with a tie on he knows when he's being an awkward womanly mess.

"Electro Girl, I mean. Mikey and I, we won't get in your hair. But if something big comes up, let me know. I know how to jimmy more than a few things. You're a better fighter than me, but.." He trails off, shrugging.

Gwen is skeptical, but she manages a small smile at Party's offering. It was nice to have someone as backup, if she ever needed it. After all, she couldn't do absolutely everything herself, could she?

Well, yeah, she totally good. Superpowers, remember? But it was an option she'd file away, nonetheless, for later. If it steered Party even further from his path of bombings and killjoying, then that was killing two birds with one stone.

"I'll remember that." What's that? A sincere smile? "Thanks."

A sincere smile that makes Party Poison's heart flutter, even glitched, and he can't help the totally goofy, caught-off guard smile.

"I mean--bombs and..guns and..I'd only pick that sort of stuff up if you really needed it, Gwen." He pauses for a very long moment (or what it feels like to him) and looks at Gwen, ridiculous superhero outfit, ridiculous personality change, and can't help but beam.

"Got your back."
