The party was a relatively new tradition at Exchange Island. It allowed people to get to know each other, help each other adapt to their new bodies, and even perhaps meet the person you just swapped with. Ryan opted to attend for one simple reason: free drinks.
The body of the young Asian woman that would be his for the next two weeks seemed to get drunk with much less effort than his own. With only a glass and a half of champagne, he was already feeling it.
He got curious if his original body was anywhere around, but he couldn’t find it -- not that he could blame the woman in his body. After all, he could imagine she was disappointed to find herself in with the dad bod of a divorced 45 year old man. Heck, he hated being in that body day in and day out, which is exactly why he came to Exchange Island in the first place.
I wonder if those who might get subpar bodies might be able to receive a temporary boost in appearance and energy?
