Act 3 Scene 1 (Dig a little deeper)
In the woods on their way to find help.

D.G. was exhausted, her feet hurt and her tummy was aching. They were on their way to Finaqua for over two days now, plus this search for the old lady and, no, she wasn´t satisfied with it nor did she enjoy her new life as a Viewer. She could hear voices everywhere and hearts beating ...she smelt the scent of her friends and in her mind she wished that this old lady was the lucky owner of a bathtub …men why do they have to smell so disgusting when they're sweaty?

Now that they were on their way to find help she was able to take a closer look at her friends without them paying attention to her observation. It was like they all had just swapped their special characteristics. Raw had dark, slightly curled brown hair like her, he wore a leather jacket a blue shirt and jeans, his skin was pale and looked smooth just like how the skin of a girl was supposed to look. But his features were different, still a bit like him, if he had been a girl before. The same applied to Cain and Glitch. Cain´s face was still the same although his features were softer now, he had Glitch's messy brown hair plus the zipper and he was wearing Glitch's old tattered coat, which was odd because Glitch hadn't worn this coat in many months. And then there was the advisor himself with a harsh expression on his usually happy face. He also looked the same except of the short blonde hair and Cain's "Tin Man outfit" much to D.G.´s joy he hadn't allowed Cain to wear his fedora and now Glitch was wearing it with visible pride but for her taste he looked kind of weird with it. While they were walking she also noticed that not only the appearance of her friends had changed but also their behavior, Cain seemed to be more calm but also slightly confused, Glitch was easily to annoy and Raw, well Raw was kind of chatty.

Now that he was a girl he seemed to be more self-confident in his new position and his new ability to build full sentences made him talk more than usual. He was at the head of their little hiking group, leading them to the home of the old lady and babbling about stuff that none of them was interested in. Glitch and Cain walked behind her and for just a moment in time they didn't argue.

"I didn't know that our dear viewer can babble that much once he gets the ability to do so," D.G. heard Cain whisper to Glitch. The former headcase giggled and the murmuring of her to friends went on.

They walked for a very long time in which D.G. thought that she was the only one not enjoying their trip but suddenly she heard an unfamiliar groaning from Glitch. Her friend turned around to face the advisor, whose face had changed into an annoyed expression with a reddish color.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this nice little walk of us, but this is getting ridiculous! We've been walking for hours now! Raw, are you sure that you know the way?!" he yelled at the former viewer and not only Raw but Cain and D.G. stared at him in surprise. They had never seen their friend in such a rage before and although they all were tired they couldn't imagine why he acted that way.

"Of course I know the way I..I ..." Raw stammered.

"Well then ... what would you think of getting a move on!" Glitch spat. Maybe he was exhausted, maybe he was frustrated but he had no right to talk to Raw like that.

"Oh come on Glitch have a heart! Raw has never been there so don't yell at him like that!"

Cain said and the fighting went on …well this little moment of peace seemed to be short lived.

"What did you just say? I should have a heart?" Glitch now faced Cain who seemed to be nearly impressed with Glitch's ability to scare him to death. Intimated, he took a step back and tried to grab D.G.'s hand for support.

"Well you usually don't act that way and maybe your words are a bit hurtful especially because Raw didn't do anything wrong and ..." Cain began to answer but he was interrupted by Glitch.

"OH so it's me now, huh? The heartless Cain suddenly accuses me of being heartless?Wonderful! That is just wonderful ! I.." he said but then.

"STOP IT! YOU MORONS!" a bright light made them stop and they felt like they were blind until the beam of light darkened and they were faced with a small old lady in a white gown. The four friends looked at her with awe.

"That´s her," Raw stammered and the woman started to smirk.

"Do you know how difficult it is to sleep when you can't stop fighting?" she said which made the people standing in front of her look to the ground in embarrassment. Only Glitch kept looking at her.

"You must be the lady of the forest, right?" he asked, her look didn't seem to have an effect on him.

"Call me Mama Odie. And now it's my turn, seems like you people all have a little "problem" I would say …You´re trapped in different bodies right?" she answered gently. Now even Glitch's face dropped in surprise.

"How do you know that?!" Cain asked slightly impressed.

"Oh let's just say that I can see when someone needs a change in life. And now come with me, unless you don´t want me to help you," Mama Odie simply said and although our friends were suspicious they followed her.
Mama Odie lived in a ship that was built in the branches of a tree but that didn't surprise them any longer. She really seemed to live there on her own which made D.G. feel sorry for her.

"So you want to have your old bodies back am I right?" Mama Odie said as they were sitting around a table, tea and cookies placed in front of them.

"It would be very kind, if you could help us. Raw said you know something about magic and you might be help," D.G said gently.

"Oh I guess your friend is right. I know a lot about magic and yes I can help you," Mama Odie countered and the four friends gasped in excitement.

"Really? That is awesome thank you! I can´t wait to get back my marbles, forgetting things sucks," Cain said.

"Um, I´m afraid you misunderstood me. I said that I can help you that is true but I won't give you back your bodies. I will give you an advice you have to find the solution on your own," Odie responded and the enlightened faces dropped.

"You are cursed for a reason and it's not my task to break this curse with my own powers. It's my pleasure to open your eyes ...nothing more," she added.

"Maybe she's right, she has to be." Raw said to the others as he saw that Glitch's face was reddening again ... They needed help no matter if it was just a advice or not. They couldn't risk that Glitch's new grumpy behavior scared their only help away. His words seemed to calm the nerves of the man and he had to admit that it least his marbles weren't misfiring anymore.

"Good. What do you advise?" Glitch asked calmly. As soon as he had asked this question, loud jazzy music suddenly began to play and Mama Odie jumped up from her chair.
She wiggled with her bum to the music and then she began to sing.

"Don't matter what you look like
Don't matter what you wear
How many rings you got on your finger
We don't care"

Cain, D.G., Raw and Glitch looked at her frowning as if she had completely lost her mind.
"Who does she mean with "we"?" Glitch asked his friends in confusion but they couldn't give him an answer. So they listened to the rest of the song.

" Don't matter where you come from
Don't even matter what you are
A dog, a pig, a cow, a goat
Had 'em all in here (we had 'em all in here)"

"And they all knew what they wanted
What they wanted me to do
I told 'em what they needed
Just like I be telling you."

She took D.G.´s hand and began dancing with her, as they danced Mama Odie stopped with her in front of a mirror and the touch of her hand made D.G. suddenly transform into her old self again.

"You got to dig a little deeper
Find out who you are
You got to dig a little deeper
It really ain't that far"

D.G.´s mouth fell open but the moment of joy was short-lived as she suddenly turn back into her viewer appearance again.

"When you find out who you are
You'll find out what you need
Blue skies and sunshine guaranteed
You got to dig (dig)
You got to dig (dig)"

The music slowly faded away and Mama Odie came to a halt .

"That was a nice song, but I think I know who I am," Glitch said as the old lady sat down again. .

"But unfortunately you just know who you have been, you don't know who you are now. That's why you're cursed. It's the only chance to save your friendship. You don't respect each other. You don't trust each other. But now that you're able to see through the eyes of someone else you may understand how the other feels," she said wisely.

"Mama Odie right, we argued too much …Never listened to each other …Didn´t care for the feelings of each other since the Eclipse," D.G said agreeing.

Glitch, Raw and Cain looked at her with mixed feelings, she could see in their eyes that they shared her opinion, but there was also confusion.

"So we have to listen to our new bodies to get back our old ones? That sounds like it's going to be more complicated than I thought...I mean D.G. is right we argued a lot in the last weeks and maybe I shouldn't be so harsh to the Zipperhead, but how shall I listen to my body if my marbles are mush?" Cain asked desperately.

"Be creative, talk with each other …get to know yourself ...I'm sure you will find something," Mama Odie answered with a smile, Glitch wanted to interrupt but suddenly smoke engulfed them and they found themselves back at the clearing in the woods.

"Seems like the therapy session has just started," Raw murmured and the others nodded solemnly.
