The boat people had returned to the island after midnight, betting on the pollen fading as Friday turned into Saturday. And apparently they'd been right to do so.

But Octavia was waking up to the feeling of something being... off, all the same. It was a weird sensation, niggling at her brain, as if she was laying in bed wrong, somehow. She opened her eyes, groggily.

And then she blinked a couple of times, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.

Octavia had gone to bed exhausted last night. She'd pretty much come home, set all her presents down (how were there so many?) and promptly faceplanted onto her bed, passing out almost instantly into a heavy, dreamless sleep.

And then suddenly, it was morning, and she woke to the light coming from the window because closing the curtains hadn't really been a priority last night. It was kind of a struggle, but eventually, her eyes blinked open. Bleary, at first, but slowly focusing - and she saw the pile of presents across the room. Still there. Some part of her had been expecting them not to be, somehow. Like the party had been a dream and now it was time to wake up.

The first sob took her by surprise.

By the second, her vision was blurry again, and by the third, she'd scrambled up into a more sitting position, her hand - still too big to feel entirely like hers - pressed tight over her mouth so at least she wouldn't make a sound while the tears streamed down her cheeks.

'Exhausted' in the evening apparently turned into 'overwhelmed' in the morning.

Octavia should've expected this. And in a way, she had: hadn't she been saying that usually this hit the men for a couple of days, then the women at another time? Guess the guys' two days were up, now, because Octavia felt up feeling constrained by things that had fit her just fine when she'd gone to sleep.

She couldn't even really say she was surprised. Just annoyed. She could manage this body - it was considerably bigger, wider in the shoulders, flatter in places she wasn't used to being flat in - but it was an inconvenience. Just rolling out of bed felt different in subtle ways, and then there was the clothing issue, which she solved by padding very quietly (she knew Bel would help her, she knew, but -- she needed to handle this part herself) into the living room to rummage through the clean laundry until she found a pair of Bellamy's boxers and one of the t-shirts she'd already more or less stolen from him before.

Sufficiently clothed, for now, she headed into the kitchen. Her hands were bigger, and everything was slightly at a different height But she could still make breakfast. She was going to be fine.

[ooc: Mostly establishy, unless the bro wants in on the confusion]

Today was a weird day. Octavia knew that didn't really mean much on this island, but some days packed enough of different kinds of unusual into themselves that calling them weird seemed merited. And between the insomnia, the coffee shop trip where everyone she ran into was a woman regardless of whether they were that usually, the onsen and the ensuing Thai dining with Shunsui... Look, even if it wasn't weird as such, in general, it was still pretty unusual for her specifically.

And now Duke was supposed to come over to get his newly longer hair braided.

So that was new.

Octavia hadn't done a whole lot to prepare for it. She had a hair brush and some hair ties ready, sure, and she'd cleared out some of Bellamy's stuff from around the couch, but other than that, the biggest thing was that she'd asked him to clear out for a while. With how uncomfortable Duke had been this morning, she didn't need any kind of a big brother scene happening. Not tonight. And miraculously, it had actually worked, possibly because she'd dragged her upcoming birthday into it.

And now, alone again, she waited.

[ooc: For that guy with the hair! And SP.]
