Camulus!Orlin comes twirling in. Across his chest is written,

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And underneath that in smaller letters I know nothing.

He looks highly amused and begins his lecture.

"All right, I believe we are covering the Fenion Cycle. Yes we are indeed." He says this as he consults his notes.

This particular story is called Tóraigheacht Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne or the usual English title – "The Pursuit of Díarmait and Gráinne"

It was a very popular Irish romance of a love triangle that had most likely influenced the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde of the 12th century.

So basically like every trashy romance novel now written for your intrest and perusal. I don't want to know which ones of you actually read them, but they are trash.

Now, to continue. There was a reference to this tale in the late 12th century manuscript known as the Book of Leinster, suggesting the original tale was composed around 1100, the surviving text we have of The Pursuit of Díarmait and Gráinne was written no earlier than the 17th century."

Camulus!Orlin shakes his head. These notes are so wrong. And so hard to read. The real Camulus should learn to write neater.

"Let me summarize this. There is a love triangle. It's going to turn bad because they always do, That's my lowly wisdom, please heed it. Phoebe, I need to talk to you."

[[~~wait for OCD~~ threads are up!]]

get your free happy smile!

Boone signs in. ~~for a free happy smile. Then frowns. "Aw, crap. Did I sleepwalk into Wal-Mart again?"~~

Boone gets his happy smile from Camulus!Orlin. And a happy face sticker.

Phoebe smiles at Boone.

Bel signs in and warily eyes the free happy smile.

Ah! He who was dating the lovely Phoebe!

Bel gets an extra brightly watted smile.

Almost blinding really.

Phoebe looks up to see ~~CamulusOrlin~~Camulin give Cole an extra bright smile. Something is definitely up.

Macbeth signs in. Not really for a smile. But he is thrilled when he hears talk of an Irish romance being utter trash. When a teacher says it, it must be true.

MacBeth gets a gigantic smily sticker. Just because.

Said smiley sticker is almost immediately affixed to Macbeth's cheek. Mostly because the thane can't think of anything else to do with it, and he vaguely remembered how well the stickers from the sticker-book that they recieved at the beginning of their Gaelic unit had fastened themselves to his face.

He looked rather pleased with himself. But, of course, he was still practicing his Regal Poise(tm).

Just for that regal posturizing, Camulus!Orlin hands him a omgwtf enormous smiley sticker!

It could be like a medallion!

Macbeth is secretly quite thrilled with this giant sticker. He is pretty sure that it would cover his face, so he doesn't slap this one on his cheek.

After some consideration, he proudly plasters this one onto his chest.
Only a true king deserved to wear a smiley-face sticker as prominent as this one!
He was all about the regal poise, yo.

Camulus!Orlin grinned widely. He could tell when he was in the presence of royalty. He handed one last sticker over. This smiley face had a crown on it and was shiney.

Now, Macbeth was never really a sucker for shinies. Power and glory were more his forte by far. However, he knew special when he saw it, and this particular sticker... well, it was special.

This particular sticker, with its crown and it's glimmering sheen, could only be intended for royalty, and Macbeth swore he would wear this one with pride everywhere he went.
He stuck this one to his forehead, making a mental note to save it for later.
He ~~regally~~ grinned his thanks to the teacher and straightened his posture. He certainly felt like a king right now.

Orlin nodded and smiled at Macbeth.

What a friendly young man.

[[zomg flees to bed]]

Phoebe sits on the edge of Camulus' desk and watches his strange behavior.

talk, pass notes, no one cares what you do with yourselves.

Phoebe approaches the teacher.

"Okay, you're not Camulus. You're acting more like Orlin, which, as much as I like Orlin, having my ~~Lord~~teacher act like him is disturbing." She levels a look at him. "What happened?"

"I am Orlin." Orlin said quiety, "We accidentally switched bodies."

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair and even stopped smiling for a moment, "I think I'v almost figured out how to fix it but..."

Phoebe nodded. "I thought so yesterday," she says softly. "I just didn't want to say anything with too many people arund. But, I'm an empath and you feel a lot different than Camulus does." She tilted her head. "How can I help?"

Only in Fandom could the phrase "We switched bodies" sound like a normal, everyday thing that could be calmly accepted.

Orlin grinned at her, "If we are still in the wrong bodies by tomorrow, start looking for spells."

He was glad she was taking it so calmly.

"Camulus freaked when it happened, I'm glad some-one is taking it at least seemimgly calmly."

Phoebe smiled.

"Camulus hasn't been attacked by zombies, tried to kill himself after waking up with a 6,000 year old demon, or witnessed his soulmate and someone else switch bodies due to a spell." She shrugged. "I'm kind of used to the bizareness that is Fandom. I'll look for spells just in case. You know how to get ahold of me, so you'll let me know if you need my help, okay."

Nodding, Orlin said, "I'll do that, and I'll let Camulus know. Thanks Phoebe."

"Anytime, Orlin. I'm always here for you and Camulus." She smiled. "Besides, what would I do without the two of you? I don't think I would have gotten through the last two months without you."

"The pleasure was ours. And you still need to drop by and get those brownies, I actually made another baatch." Orlin waved away the compliment, looking mildly embaressed.

Phoebe grinned. "Let me know when is a good time and I'll come by."

"Come anytime, just call ahead."

No his wicked smile did not mean this would give him and Camulus time to find clothes. Not at all.

Phoebe laughed and blushed. "Yeah, I'll make sure I do that."

Because waking up after the party that day and seeing them like that? That had caused one big misunderstanding between her and Cole.

But they were so cute and domestic together, him and Camulus anyways. phoebe is just a friend who gets to see them act domestic.

Orlin chuckled, "Come by soon. Camulus would love to see you, as would I."

Phoebe is glad that they're happy together and they don't feel thay have to fake anything when she's around. This makes her feel good and special.

Phoebe nodded. "I'll do that. I ahve a Forensics final today... and then I have to deal with the fact that I got some news yesterday that I need to deal with. How about tomorrow after classes?"

"Sounds wonderful, I'll let Camulus know. Just in case he feels inclined to cook again."

"I'd love to have Camulus cook sometime." She smiled. "I better get to my next class, but if you need me, call me. I don't care what time it is. You guys are good friends and like family, so I'll help whenever you need it."

"Thank you my dear. And we shall see you tomorrow."

"I'll be there, Orlin." Her voice was lowered so no one else heard her. Then she spoke in a normal voice. "Okay, sir, if you don't need me to grade papers or anything, I'll be off to my next class."

"No, that will be all Phoebe. Have a good day."

He smiled fondly at her.

Phoebe smiled back at him and then turned to leave the class.

Yes, what do you want?
