The Right Hand of Nobunaga

When Oda Nobunaga needed an inside man in his enemy’s forces, he didn’t settle for mere spies. The warlord resorted to his best shinobi, who held the power to ambush an entire army.

Nobunaga’s ninja sneaked into the capital of his opponents, and launched an obvious assassination attempt. He failed, was killed, and forgotten. Only later, when their princess ordered their forces to surrender and join with Nobunaga, would anyone even begin to fathom that their princess had been the one that truly perished during that ‘foolish’ assassination attempt.

 

A Life of Mistakes

Fed up with the life his own mistakes had resulted in, Andy invested in a machine that would rip out his own soul, and allow him to take over the body of someone who had made better life choices. It would have been wise for him to float into the streets before the grade schoolers were let out. Just one more mistake to start off a new life full of them.

Creeped Out

“Creeped out” was an understatement. When that tumble down the stairs in front of the school caused Silvia and Blaine to swap bodies, Silvia had her suspicions that Blaine knew more about their predicament than he was letting on. The young woman was not at all pleased to be stuck in the body of the biggest outcast in the class, but Blaine seemed to be far from uncomfortable in her body. They were supposed to be searching for some way to change back, but he was far too busy hanging out with HER friends, experimenting with HER appearance, and trying to get HER to go on a date now that she was now HIM. Though it disgusted Silvia, she was willing to look the other way when he dyed her hair green, but if he crossed the line one more time, she planned to reveal their secret to everyone, and perhaps rescue her reputation from the social outcast who had no clue how to be popular.

Preview!

No new caption tonight because… Because. But instead of leaving you hanging, I’m going to be all experimental and post a preview of captions I’ve finished, but just haven’t posted yet. Some of these are pretty freakin’ old.

 

What Now?

Nate pondered what he should do next as he searched the final drawer of his former bedroom. He’d been fighting with his mother so often lately, and needed to get out of the house without causing any more bad blood between them. His older sister, Sam, showed him a magic amulet, and offered to switch places with him for a short while. He spent the week in her body, living in her apartment,

Once he cooled his jets, Nate came back to the house to swap back, but his sister had apparently failed to smooth over his relationship with his mother. Sam had run away from home with his body, and she took the amulet with her. The boy wondered if he’d ever get to switch back into his body. More importantly, he wondered if the person in his body had ever been his sister in the first place.

My Magic Pony

 

How do you guys feel about non-TG swaps? Specifically, Animal to human? ’cause here’s another one!

All little girls dream of being best friends with magical ponies, but Sarah Tocking regretted her childish dream not long after her dad bought her one. Sarah called “Sparkles” her best friend, but she had no clue how to take care of a horse, let alone a magical one. She kicked Sparkle one too many times, and the furious pony threw her off, and started casting a spell with her magical pony powers.

Sarah woke up the next morning, in Sparkle’s stable, and hating her life as a little girl’s plaything ever since. while Sparkle lives and loves the spoled lifestyle her former rider had taken for granted.

Poorly Conceived

His friends weren’t exactly sure what Oswald was thinking when he switched bodies with his crushes pet. Sure, he’d get be able to get really close to her, but did he really think he was going to go all the way as a small, disgusting animal? His friends hoped he’d start thinking more realistically after she took him to get fixed tomorrow.

The Miracle Braclet – 01

For all of his life, William’s core group of friends had been almost exclusively girls. In elementary school, he was picked on. In middle school, he was the subject of envy. In high school, his friend’s boyfriends started to get pissed off that another guy was spending so much time with their women. William wasn’t bothered by their immature fits of jealousy, but his best friends were pressured against spending any time with him.

In response to his loneliness, the universe granted him a Miracle Bracelet- a magical artifact of pure good will that would grant the wishes of its wearer. Whenever William slid the bracelet onto his wrist, he morphed into a cute girl. The girls had a blast, now that Will could finally join in on, “Girl Stuff,” and the boys had no problem with their girlfriends hanging out with their new friend, Wilma.

“No. No. NO. This isn’t happening! This can’t be happening!”

That final roll of the dice, every bounce and tap of the ivory cubes bouncing on the table, kept replaying in Felix’s mind as this guy started moving toward him. He wanted to get with a woman, and Felix wanted info. As a proud, straight man, he could never have be on the recieving end of a penis. That crossed too many boundries that he would never be able to cross again. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t use the possibility of sex to his advantage. He proposed that they make a bet on a few games. If Felix lost, he’d put out. If he won, he’d be told where to find his fleeing body.

He lost.

And the hoodlum had no intention of letting the woman on his couch back out of their deal. He closed in on her with all of his experience. Felix just remained still and silent, replaying that last game over and over in his head, trying to find some loophole. Just another chance. The boy started tearing the clothes off of the two of them as he made his move. Although he was facing an immenent fear, “Chance” managed to laugh at the irony of his situation. The only thing protecting his pride as a man at this point was the dress he was wearing, which was quickly being torn off, one piece at a time…
—
‘That wasn’t so bad,’ Felix thought to himself when it was all over. Once the two of them drowned in ecstacy, his concept of gender melted away and what remained was pure passion. Being on the other end of the stick might have made it even better. The feelings were familiar, but also brand new. It was like experiencing sex again for the first time. ‘I should have just put out AND got the info out of him.’

The man who had stolen his sense of manhood rolled over, and kissed the neck of his lover. “It’s a good thing you came up with that gambling idea, hon’. I don’t actually know anything about your boyfriend.”

“You look like yer’ lookin’ for somebone, baby.”

As soon as Felix left his apartment, he was literally swept off of his feet by some punk that had been loitering outside. Before he could contemplate what was going on, his back was pressed up against the young man’s crotch.

“What’cha’ lookin’ for, Honey? Is the guy who lives in this shithole your boyfriend? Or does he owe you money?” He paused momentarilly, and Felix realized that the boy was sniffing his hair. “You smell pretty rich.”

“Something like that,” Felix said as he broke free of the punk’s embrace. “Do you know what happened to the guy who lives here? Where did he go?”

“I might know something, babe.  But that’s valuable intel. If you want me to spill my beans, you’re gonna’ have to do something for me in return. What do you say we head back to My place and discuss it?”

Felix grinned at the horny brat. He couldn’t get mad at him for trying to get laid, but he had no idea who he was messing with. “Alright,” Felix replied. “Let’s head there, and discuss a little wager.”

The Gambler – 03

Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 4 – Part 5

Since he woke up in Ariel’s apartment, the most logical place to search for her would be his apartment. For the first time since that night, Felix “Chance” Zakura walked that depressing route to his own miserable apartment. The journey was considerably less stressful when he didn’t owe money to any of the thugs that hung around the neighborhood. Using the secret key he had stashed in one of the empty beer cans on the lawn, Felix broke into his own apartment.

It was deserted. All of his old things had been taken and it did not appear that anyone had any intention of returning. The only thing left behind was a creepy mask that he had never seen before in his life. Maybe it was a magic mask with the power to lift someone’s face off, or held some other secret to the body swap. Felix took it with him when he left his home, for possibly the final time.

But had Ariel taken his things and ran, shooting to start a new life, or was there something else to the empty apartment?

Agreement

“You seem a little funny today, Mia. Are you feeling like yourself?”

“Or are you feeling like… Ryan!”

Ryan, currently residing within his sister’s body, broke easily. Andrea saw through him instantly!

“What were you thinking, Ryan? You can’t just steal your sister’s body. I thought we made an agreement.”

“But you haven’t let me switch with anyone in over two months. We bought the machine together, but you decide everything about it.”

“Come on, Ryan! If we just go wild with it, someone is going to find out about the machine. What will happen then? Our parents will force us to change back to normal and get rid of it!”

“Then just let me switch into someone else’s body, and we’ll stay that way for a while. We’ll hide the machine somewhere else and-”

“Stop it, Ryan. Go home and switch back with your sister as soon as you get home, and make sure she doesn’t know about me. I’ve spent too much time in this body to let you ruin it for me now. We’ll find you a new body soon, I promise.”

Pedophile

Dedicated to a former co-worker who just couldn’t keep his eyes off the girls young enough to be his daughter. I always imagined this happening to him.

 

Old and lonely, when young girls came into the restaurant where Matt worked, he couldn’t help but fight back his desires. If he said so much as a word that crossed the line, he’d be out of a job, everyone he knew would think him a pedophile, and he’d probably face jailtime. Though he knew the risks, the loneliness of his empty apartment was getting to be too much.

During his Tuesday shift, a group of teenage girls came in and sat at one of his tables. Little Matt was on the verge of exploding in Matt’s pants, but he kept his cool and treated the girls like any other customers. They would never have suspected their waiter was fantasizing every time he approached the table. When they finished their meal, the girls left a great tip, and cleared out. All but one, who waited for Matt to come back for the check.

“Uhm, excuse me,” she asked him, “Could you do me a favor, please?” She was too cute. Matt agreed without hesitation. “Would you… Meet me when you get off work?”
—
Matt left the building in a cold sweat. He couldn’t believe he had agreed to this. He looked around, trying to identify the undercover cop who was setting him up. He knew this was a huge mistake, but he couldn’t help himself. His heart rose and sank simultaneously as the girl appeared before him. She smiled and took his hand, leading him off toward the park. Her hand passed on a warmth Matt had not felt from another human in a long time. They walked around the city. Bought ice cream and corn dogs and window shopped. It felt so good to connect to a girl, but Matt was afraid of the public eye. Did the world see him for the dirty old man he was? Did they assume he was the girl’s father?

Their date ended up in park, sitting in front of the fountain. She leaned against Matt’s shoulder, and whispered in his ear. “Will you be with me?” Matt looked at the girl one last time.  This had been the best day of his life. He loved this girl. The answer was obvious.

“Sorry,” Matt rejected her advance. “I like you, I really do. But I’m just too old, and you’re too young. As much as I want to, it’s not right.” Matt stood up, and stepped to the edge of the fountain, “I wish I could be your age, and this wouldn’t be so wrong.” As he spoke those words, he was overwhelmed by a rush of energy that swept him off his feet. He stumbled back to the bench, and passed out.

Matt awoke in the morning to the sound of sirens and a police officer in his face. Oh god, he thought to himself. He really fucked up.

“Are you okay? Ae you hurt? Did he do anything to you?”

Matt raised an eyebrow and remained silent, while someone else behind him screamed at the top of his lungs. He glanced over the back of the bench, and saw some other man being handcuffed and shoved into a police car. He wasn’t in trouble? Matt turned back to the police officer, who was trying to comfort him, and noticed his perspective was a little low, or this cop was just really tall. Matt drew back the blanket to stand up, and saw his lower half. Instead of his work pants, he was wearing a skirt and black pantyhose. The fountain, he thought to himself, and looked at the plaque. It was a wishing well! He shot back to the cop car again, just in time to catch a look at the man being shoved in the back- it WAS him after all!

Matt didn’t need to worry about looking like a pedophile at work any more.

The Gambler – 02

Part 1  – Part 3

Prior to that morning, Felix would never have believed the mind could be transferred from one body into another. Instead of having a meltdown over waking up in a foreign body, however, he approached the situation with a calm and level head. The idea of literally betting your life was a romantic gambling concept, but no one would just throw their life away without reason. Some dark stigma must have been attatched to this body, this identity, this life.

The Gambler dug up everything he could on his body. No matter how deep he searched, she was clean. Ariel, the red-headed goddess, appeared to a heavy gambler like himself, but she had no outstanding debts of any kind. In fact, as her bank accounts showed, she was sustaining herself pretty well for herself in this line of work. Next he checked her background. Ari’s record was spotless. She’d never recieved so much as a speeding ticket, and as far as Felix could tell, wasn’t trying to pin him with the blame for any murders or bank robberies.

Finally he arrived at the doctor’s office to check her medical history and have an examination. No terminal diseases or life threatening cancer. Much like her finances and criminal record, the red head had taken very good care of her body, and it showed. She was so beautiful. His male heart couldn’t help but be attracted.

There was no catch. This body was just great, and he was lucky to be in it. Did that mean he won the bet? But it still didn’t make sense. There was no reason for such a perfect woman to bet her life on a game, and Felix never had any particular desire to be a woman or the means to collect on that.

Felix needed answers. The Gambler needed to know the truth behind that night. He had to find his original body, and hopefully the spirit of Ariel trapped inside.

The Gambler – 01

Part 2 – Part 3

While pulling himself through an unfamiliar appartment, Felix “Chance” Zakura tried to recall the previous night. He had been invited to play cards, he remembered that much, but anything more specific was foggy. His entire body told him to roll over and sleep off this hangover, but his brain needed answers. The last thing he needed was a blank in his memory. He could be accused of murder and have no way of proving, or even knowing that he didn’t do it. He limped into the bathroom and splashed water on his face while he asked himself, “What the hell happened at that game last night?”

Something about the way his voice sounded struck him as strange. He grasped his neck, as if that would fix his vocal chords. His fingers passed over some kind of choker, and the string of a necklace. He looked down at the necklace, and observed the pendant attatched. Had he won this? Had he won- the two mounds of flesh underneath the emerald jewel!?

Felix locked on the mirror in front of him, and the visage of that blazing red -haired woman! That woman! Memories of last night erupted from the haze! Money! Booze! Hope! Despair! In the heart of the gamble, something inside of his pathetic soul awakened and took over! The beauty met his gambler’s spirit head on in the final, ultimate bet of the night! The most intense round of cards he had ever experienced!

Chance gave himself a once over. That face, which was burned into his memory of that last bet, was definitely the one looking back through the mirror. His memory was still incomplete, though. What was the result of the final bet; did he win the body of that woman, or did she win his?
