when you wake up inexplicably (or explicably) transformed but you still gotta go to school are you the Transfer Student or the Status Update

does the teacher look up from their desk and

introduce you as a completely different person who can now sit in your mysteriously empty seat or
announce that oh yeah Insert Name is super different now so everyone be nice I guess

#where do you stand #questions for cohost #anyway open your textbooks to page fifteen

Oh wow! I think nowadays I have the confidence to be the Status Update, but when I was in school I'd be the Transfer Student

transfer student

(erasing the old self? yes pls)

2 is my favourite in genre, so gotta go with that

Irenes (many)@ireneista4/23/2023, 5:22 AM

it feels like if this were a plausible thing that could happen, the "you" of the question would probably spend an hour agonizing it, but then fail to get the teacher's attention to discuss it in time and wind up surprised

Irenes (many)@ireneista4/23/2023, 5:23 AM

oh uh anyway if this had happened when we were actual kids, probably the transfer student for us, but today of course status update

Millennium @milliesquilly4/23/2023, 5:25 AM

Honestly like 1 if I can get away with it, but I'm unsure if I'm a good enough actor for all the "hey you look a lot like that guy who used to be here except for you're a girl and have cat ears and a tail" questions I'd get but like assuming that's not an issue yes absolutely let's redo all those social connections from scratch

Hide quietly in the back, hope no one notices me or draws any kind of attention to me.

Gay Eminem on 9/11 @DecayWTF4/23/2023, 5:45 AM

I feel like whether it was now or when I was a kid it'd just be, "I guess Decay's doing this bullshit now."

Julianne Hardstone @Jewels-Hardstone4/23/2023, 5:45 PM

Status Update, I guess, but less "super different" and more "I like your new shirt/hairdo/etc" and then business as normal. My past is MY past and as painful as it might be, it is still MINE and I would not stand for someone striping that away without my permission.

Transfer student all the way. It's just got some great comedy in it and less baggage.
