Introduction
The Tale of Switch and Kiss
Six interconnected strangers, down in luck and down in love in the busy city of Manhattan, New York, experienced an event that would change all their lives forever. It was a chilly night in the fall of 2010. On this same fateful evening, six almost strangers are visited by a strange woman at their door. She is dressed in colorful clothing and her neck and arms are adorned with showy beaded jewelry. At first, they are all skeptical of her intentions, but she assures them all she is only a simple fortune-teller, there to give them the answers they so desperately sought. Almost as if under a spell, they all let her into their homes, presented her their wrists, and let the reading begin.
“You have been unlucky in love,” she tells all of them softly, her voice low and raspy, “but I see that will all change soon…”
“How soon?” They had all asked curiously. “How do you know?”
The old woman chuckled, her light silver eyes lively. “I simply know, my dear, and I will show you… If you make a deal with me, that is.”
“A deal?”
“Yes,” she told them, returning her gaze back to their palms. “In order to meet the one of your destiny, you must first take a walk in their shoes. Only then will you come to the realization of your love…”
“What? You’re not making any sense… Get out of my house if you’re only going to scam me out of my money.”
“I see,” the old lady told them, still lively and sweet. “There is a lot you need learn about patience child. I’ll leave, have it your way, but what about our deal?”
The woman’s host scoffed, not paying much mind to the ramblings of the loon. “Fine, I’ll accept your deal if it will make you leave.”
The old lady nodded. “Then so it is then.”
The host nodded, and showed her the door. “So it is.”
That night, they all fell asleep comfortably, in their separate beds, in their separate rooms, in their separate homes, but all thinking the same thing: could the magic this woman had spoken of really exist? Was there really someone out there they were destined to meet? Before closing their eyes, they shook off the thought. They had all been around long enough to know that love was not this kind of fairytale. It just wasn’t.
The next morning, as the sun peeked over the tops of buildings and apartment houses, these six strangers all opened their eyes… to another world entirely. What had happened the previous night has been completely erased from their minds. Looking into the mirror, in a stranger’s home, all they can think about is…
“Oh my god! I’m a man/woman!”
The Basics
The basics of this story is this. You play one of these six characters. After being visited one night by this strange palm reader, you awake the next morning in the body of someone of the opposite gender. You don't remember a thing about the promise you made with the palm reader. You are determined to find out just who now inhabits your body and why. Little do you know, this person you have swapped bodies with is your soulmate. The only way to switch back is to realize this and share a kiss. But will you meet someone else along the way? Will you twist what we know as fate to pursue someone else of your choosing? Or will you only be pulled back to the place where you belong? In the meantime, everyone around you is confused by your sudden change of behavior... Hey, you might even choose to have some fun while you're stuck in this pickle.
The Characters
The Business Man (Open): The Business Man is on top of the world. He is the director of his own company and has plenty of lackeys to tend to his every need. He lives in an expensive house, drives an expensive car, and dresses in only the finest of clothing. The only thing he lacks is a strong, reliable, trustworthy, polite, independent, hard-working, and loving wife… And those are so hard to come by when women are throwing themselves at you simply for your money. In a nutshell, he’s been involved with plenty of women. They’ve been involved with his money. The relationships just never lasted.
The Working Man (Cian Sommers played by Rend): The Working Man is always striving to make a name for himself. While he, who happens to be his boss at the same company, seems to get everything he wants at the snap of his fingers, The Working Man has to work for his money and for the other things in life as well. He doesn’t have time for relationships; he barely even has time to sleep because of that rowdy nextdoor neighbor of his, and deems them unimportant and nonessential.
The Hopeless Man (Brandon Tyler played by thech): The Hopeless Man is still living at home, eating his parent’s food, lazing about their house, looking for a job but hopelessly failing. He had gone to college with him, he had worked just as hard. His major, however, remained undecided. His future always had been a blur. He’s ambitionless, jobless, and still lives with his parents! How could he expect to find a woman?! His college sweetheart dumped him, deciding to pursue her own dreams without him. When will he finally find his own dream? When!
The Independent Lady (Sophia Sommerset played by lovechanningforever): The Independent Lady doesn’t need anyone to pat her back. She’s practically been alone all her life, after all. Past her caring and supportive exterior, she is a fortress determined to not crumble. She puts on a happy face even when she wants to cry. She knows about sacrifice and knows about lost love. In truth, she wants to find comfort in a man that could support her both emotionally and financially. Though she loves her job as a grade-school teacher, she’d enjoy not worrying about bills to pay or groceries to buy. Her ex-boyfriend had so much potential, but he just wasted it away, being lazy and unmotivated. So she’ll stay an iron fortress, until she meets “the one.”
The Rocking Lady (Trace Hudson played by breemee): The Rocking Lady is nothing but dreams and ambitions. “Aim For The Stars!” she always says, even though she has no means to reach them. She has no connections, she has no college degree, she has no money. All she has is a guitar, an easel, a saxophone, and a boom-box, and she’s determined she’s going to rock her life dry, even if she drives her neighbor crazy in the process. But will all these child-like dreams amount to anything in the end? And will she put them aside long enough to even try her hand at love? Possibly…
The Classy Lady (Bianka Kirkland played by UberGabel): The Classy Lady lives off of her parent’s money. She was born lucky, apparently, and never had to lift a finger since her birth. When she was a toddler, she even had servants to rattle her rattle for her entertainment. She demanded only the finest of silk diapers and brand-name baby wear. Now, she’s no different. Maybe this high-maintenance attitude is what always keeps the men an arms length away. They look but don’t touch. And, though she comes off as polite and elegant and well-bred, she just can’t find the one that’s right for her. But she’s determined to get him and even joined his company as a secretary so she could see him during the day. There’s nothing that can stop her when she has her mind set. Nothing at all.
