[open] I fell into a burning ring of fire
Who: Kushina (in Gaara's body) and you
When: March... 6th, I think. Also open to March 7th
Where: Sunagakure, will also have option for Konohagakure
Notes: Tophie and Elle swapped accounts for the body swap thingy, some options for meeting Kushina-as-Gaara below.
Suna
Kushina was not a happy camper. One minute, she was on her mission and someone bumped into her. The next... She was surrounded by desert, feeling like utter rubbish, and immediately hit with a feeling that something was very wrong. Not only was she not supposed to be anywhere near Wind Country, but there was a very different presence within her. She knew her seal inside and out and whatever was on her now wasn't right. This wasn't hers and neither was the tailed beast that she had a very, very long and heated conversation with before heading for the village.
It was taking some adjustment to walk with this new body, but the looks she was getting from the villagers when they didn't scurry off in another direction were downright unnerving and pissed her off. Which led her to yell at anyone who stared too long. And hearing a young man's voice instead of her own come out when she opened 'her' mouth was really weird. At least the yelling made them stop staring in a hurry.
She needed to find this guy's passport and get to Konoha as fast as possible and find out what was going on. And she wasn't about to let anyone or anything stop her. Not a desert full of sand, not a fucking raccoon demon with one tail, and certainly not the odd dense weight that she could feel covering the body she inhabited.
...But who the hell was she?
Konoha
Things were going marginally better, given the circumstances. But she was still pretty grumpy. With a little help, she managed to make her bid for freedom to the nearest travel seal. On her trip back home, she mostly debated what to do first. Finding her body and demanding answers with whoever stole it from her seemed like a solid course of action. Though making a beeline for Obito's office to explain as best she could and make him believe her story should be her first priority.
Even if she wasn't getting the same looks here as she had in Suna, it was taking some restraint not to stop and say hi to anyone she recognized. She could catch up with friends and make excuses for any odd behavior when she figured out how to get back in her own body and thoroughly punish whoever did this to her. But first, her mind was finally made up. She had to find Obito.

"I understand, but there's always later, Minato. After we figure out how to reverse this."
Without even thinking, she shot him a wink and grinned until Gaara's question registered.
"Flower pot? Uh..." She reached up to pat at the pockets until she found the right one and withdrew the fragment. "Huh, I didn't notice that before. What are you doing carrying this around?"
no subject
Ah, it didn't sound like 'Gaara-kun' meant his words any more deeply than skin-deep. Or, if Minato remembered correctly, sand-shell-deep, which sand shell was on Kushina rather than its rightful owner. It made sense, of course, that the boy would be tense.
Knowing that Kushina's ... soul? mind? was in Gaara's body made it easier to read the expressions on a face that had always been rather flat. There was a smile that was familiar, even with the pale dark-rimmed eyes. And there was genuine surprise in her tone when she retrieved the small piece of pottery, and though it was far from an ironclad evidence, they wouldn't get anywhere with continued suspicion out in the open like this. Minato dropped his arm from his wife's body and stepped away, smiling at Gaara-in-Kushina now.
"I understand, Gaara-kun," he said, in what he hoped was a placating tone. "You'll forgive me if I wanted some certainty. Now, shall we talk about how this happened?"
no subject
"A clone ambushed me this morning. It came from below, struck my foot, and then I was outside a shrine in Tea Country, in this body. Another clone had just knocked into Kushina-san, but it was dispelled after the collision."
He likely had the least experience with this kind of attack, being neither an ambush expert nor a sealing one, so he glanced to Kushina for her to continue.
no subject
"I thought I just tripped over something as I was passing a shrine. But next thing I knew, a clone was dispelled and I felt sicker and more tired than I'd ever been, surrounded with sand and with a splitting headache too. Then I got into Suna where everyone started staring or walking away. And the ones that stared walked off in a hurry after I yelled at them. Except for your brother who put me in a puppet. Got to meet your sister too. Finally kinda met Kazue - you remember Kiyoko, Minato? that's her daughter - and... I saw a side of the Kazekage that really rubbed me the wrong way. He's lucky I was trapped in that puppet or I probably would've tried strangling him."
Mentioning Gaara's dad and remembering even the short moment got her temper up a little if her hands balling into fists were any indication. Or the way her eyes narrowed.
no subject
If there had been any doubt remaining about who was whom, the stories confirmed it; the version of events from Kushina was half as long and twice as succinct as anything she'd ever said, and Gaara's voice came out of his body sounding like it was reluctant to be used as much as it had been. But more concerning than the switch -- as concerning as it was, because among other things, Minato was sincerely hoping to not be married to the Kazekage's youngest child -- was the fact that someone had managed to get the jump on two dangerous shinobi.
The last piece of Kushina's story had him lifting a hand to cover one of those fists on instinct, a habitual calming gesture.
"The greater concern right now is whether there is any additional damage," he said. "I expect you've told Obito-kun what's going on, or will soon?"
SORRY IM HERE
As far as he was concerned, Kushina should know that from dealing with the Nine-tails, but perhaps her seals suppressed that aspect. Or maybe Shukaku was just a temperamental creature, as always. He also wondered, more strongly than usual, why and how a leader of Uzushiogakure knew Kazue. "If the Kazekage didn't notice, then the damage to Suna is minimal."
