Swapgate '09
Heather Ivanova -> Dan Armstrong Dean Lethbridge -> Heather Ivanova
Essentially, she will be losing her powers and gaining a bunch of knowledge about guns. She won't actually have any guns, but I think the change should be fairly apparent to her, even if she doesn't know exactly who Dan is. "I can't do anything, and all of a sudden, I'm totally a master tactician! Like wtf! I am totally one of those violent Science nerds."
Steve Glass-Newton -> Violet Broome Cole Jones -> Steve Glass-Newton
So Steve's going to forget everything he knows about advanced biology, and he's going to gain magical powers and, more importantly, visions. I don't think the magic will be apparent to him right away, since that's something that must be harnessed and controlled. However, I think he'll figure out he's got Violet's powers, and therefore magic, at the first mild vision. I can't see him not wanting to experiment with what it's like to use magic, but he'll definitely bring it all up with her. And then at some point, he'll have a painful vision attack. Uh oh.
Violet usually has a few mild visions a day, though, so if anyone has anything planned for the swap time that they'd like foreshadowed, let me know?
Ragnar Rasmussen -> Jacob Fitzgerald Annie Brewski -> Ragnar Rasmussen
Ragnar will be so pissed. Thor trusted him with Mjollnir's Shredding Axe of Terror, and it's his and only his responsibility to care for it and wield it. Normally, in fact, he's the only one who can wield it, so he will be surprised when he sees Annie actually using the guitar. He will start a fight. He will probably concentrate more on the potentially offensive side of Jacob's powers than the X-ray vision thing... although honestly I think he will wake up on the first, see everyone naked, think it's some sort of nudist day that nobody told him about, and start walked around without his clothes. Maybe.
