Violet was broken out of her thoughts by a new voice, a familiar one. She looked up and saw a two new arrivals at the door, Zestari and Mona Tones. She wasn’t all too familiar with Zestari either, but she at least knew her, and she never forgot a face (Or a voice for that matter, although in this case the voice was a bit off).
Violet’s own thoughts mirrored Mona Tones She couldn’t help but wonder if any others were...’Displaced’ like they were. It wasn’t widespread enough that she noticed anypony else acting oddly on the way here, at anyrate.
She would also question how it seemed that she knew everypony, with one exception, that had been effected so far. However that’s usually how these things went, so she wasn’t as inclined to question that.
“My name’s Violet Star, and yeah, Bakewell’s in my body. And I remember you two, Zestari and Mona Tones." she indicated both the mares with a hoof as she said their names.
While she observed the two, she noticed something...Odd, about Zestari, the actual mare, not Mona in the zebra's body. Her posture, her facial expression, her body language...It looked...Flat. She was acting like Mona, not herself. And if the two really were switched, wouldn't it be the other way around? And Mona in Zestari's body, while not as emotive as the zebra usually was, was still showing much more emotion then she saw previously...She would have to figure out the reason for all that later.
After she got her answer the filly-turned-mare noticed Jasmine walking up Bakewell, who she just now realized was cowering, in an attempt to comfort her...Not realizing that, in Kestrel’s body, she’d probably be doing the exact opposite...
“Uh, Jasmine? I don’t think that’s a go-”
But Kestrel nipped that in the bud before it got worse, stopping Jasmine from freaking out Bakewell even more. While Kestrel was dealing with his...alternate, Violet slowly trotted over to her now-minimized friend.
“Uh, hey, Bakewell?” she asked as she approached, a smile on her face, a comforting one. “Are you ok? You kind of seem to be...Cowering, a bit...Which usually does not mean good things in my experience. Well, unless it’s a slaver, if they’re cowering that means they aren’t shooting at me...” she muttered.
