On January the 19th , I had been playing City of Heroes, trying to get Yukiyo to level 50 bit by bit when 10PM struck. One minute, I was an adult male human playing a video game on his PC, the next, I was a young female magically created human/demon hybrid trying to cope with something that my mind kept insisting was impossible.
I knew that, due to her partly demonic nature, Yukiyo felt her emotions much stronger than was normal, but I had no idea of just how much harder it was to handle panic when it was multiplied by, at least, 3. I think I must have been curled up in a corner for 10 minutes before I finally calmed down enough to actually think about my situation in a rational manner.
"Ok, so, through an odd twist of fate, I've become one of my odder characters. That's not so bad, I mean, I'm now pretty much immortal and I have incredible powers. On the down side, I'm even smaller than before, and I look even younger, and I no longer have the option of letting my mustache grow so I won't have to show my ID every time I ask for a scotch. I'm also pretty sure that my boss won't believe me if I walk in on Monday and claim to be myself so my income is now pretty much reduced to nothing."
I sighed, "I also have to learn how to live as a girl, and bloody hell, I really don't want to be the first man to have a period."
I was starting to get agitated again and I had begun to pace around the room, something I tend to do whenever I'm thinking hard, "Damnit, what do I do now..." I spent a minute thinking about it, "First thing first, how deep is the change?"
I stopped pacing and looked down at myself. As far as I could tell, I was a perfect replica of Yukiyo, including my clothing that had morphed to become her usual outfit. My mind seemed to have changed as well, because on top of being a lot more emotional than before, I kept thinking of spell after spell after spell, which showed another mental change, I now had a MUCH better memory than before.
Having checked the physical and mental, I had only the mystical left to check, and so I did, using one of the spells I had always dreamed of using. As my feet left the ground and gravity ceased being important to me, my lips stretched themselves into a wide grin. With a gleeful giggle, I flipped upside down and laughed as the ground did not rush up to hit my face.
At that point, I decided that I could live with being Yukiyo.

There you go, my contribution to this very fun idea. You know, when I started writing this, I kept thinking of the troubles, but at that last bit, I suddenly remembered. The reason why I like Yukiyo so much and am a fan of the flight travel power is that flying is something that I am in love with.
Writing this has reminded me of how much I love it and so, I'm quite happy I took the time to contribute to this thread.
