Sonya doesn't know what she needs. "I need some advice, someone to tell me how I can control this." She is exasperated. "I didn't know who else to call." |

"I'm sorry Sonya. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. I'd recommend you call for an ambulance, and have your head examined. At the very least, have them look for a tumor." |

Sonya hesitates. "Alright. I'll be in touch." She hangs up the phone and hides in her bed with her pistol and a make up mirror to check her face time from time. |

After thirty minutes of time in bed, you realize that your face is shifting -- half of it is your old face, half of it your new. And the old half is moving it's part of the mouth, as if it were trying to talk. Oddly enough, you can no longer feel the other thoughts. They'd been fading away this whole while, and now not even a whisper remains. Unless you've become the whisper, that is. |

Sonya waits to see if things go all the way back to normal, thankful that her old self didn't actually claw its way out or some such violent act.
She tries to say a short children's rhyme out loud, louder than a whisper. |

No active resistance against the shift, then? |

Other than trying to control herself, as expressed by speech. I figure if she can speak, then she can wiggle her big toe like Beatrix Kiddo. And if she can do that I figure she is able to control whatever is happening to her. |

Once you relax the resistance to the change, you feel a sharp pain ripple through your body, and then you feel nothing, as darkness takes you.
Some time later, you awaken, and feel like your old self. |

"Oi," she says, checking herself. She looks at the clock. "What time is it?" |

Sonya tries to guess at and tap into whatever it is that causes the transforms and transform herself to the hotty and back again to normal. |

As of right now, it doesn't seem like there's anything there. Maybe it was all a bizarre dream? |

"Dammit," she mumbles to herself.
She calls up the internet and looks for local hypnotists and catches site of Gil's SO post. She doesn't write anything in PM but apparently innocently she posts a reply on board.

Or are you just refreshing your screen to pump the view count since nobody cares about post count anymore? |

((go ahead and post this in his game thread too, in case he's not actively watching your game thread))
There's a good sample of psycho-therapists offering hypnosis, and more stage act for show hypnotists popping up in your search. |

Sonya notes the reputable psychologists only.
And tries to transform herself again. |

They are noted, but your body does not respond to any directive to change. |

Sonya heads to the university library to Research newspapers and journals and ping Streetwise contacts about what has happened to her without revealing it's actually happened to her and figure out how to control it. She also ponders Psychology, Parapsychology, and Superstitions Lore, perhaps there's some useful knowledge somewhere in the synapses she can leverage. |

It isn't that there is little on the subject in the archives. It is that there is nothing. No hits in the online archives, and nothing popping up in your searches either.
There's all types of theories that you've heard talked about by parapsychologists in the past, but there's nothing tangible or concrete for you to grab hold of in this library. |

Leaving the library she rides her bike into the Sacramentos to meditate. And try to take hold of the transform process if possible. |

There's a tingling sensation in the back of your head, kicking in about five minutes after you leave the library. Unfortunately, it isn't your other self, if that even exists. It's a sensation of being watched, or perhaps, followed. |

Sonya heads home to get gear for a ride in the mountains and checks messages on the computer. She writes a reply to Gil.

Replied in SO;
(after a few So's Your Facings, to various posters on the thread)
Okay so in honor of the 9th Anniversary of Dark Day, what would you do if someone you knew or even perhaps yourself, woke up and was the things we all laugh at when we are waiting in line at the grocery store on one of those trash-mags?
If it was you, who would you tell?
If it was someone you knew, how would you take them telling you? _________________ So's Your Face! |

Sonya rides her bike here and there to see anyone approaches her. After an hour she rides some mountain bike trails in the mountains to meditate and perhaps make contact there.
She's preoccupied with how to respond to Gil. She wants to tell him but she's getting paranoid and isn't sure if what is and is not real for now. If she could control the transform, it'd be a real confidence boost. |

You've been left alone all day as you travel about, but when you at last come home, you notice that your front door is open. |
