I love this idea. But then who would go into Caliborn/Lord English's body?

Nobody. As I've read it, the theory this pic is inspired by is less "bodyswap" and more "demonic possession." Le enters Jake's body because there isn't a Scratch around to explode out of and he wants to wreck shit in the human session, and also because he's a vindictive asshole still mad about Jake wearing a helmet that looks like his face.

At least, that's the gist I've gotten from <a href="http://kidcrimefighter.tumblr.co...-posts-have">this post</a>.

Well, there is that one fairly popular fanfic going around where AR and Caliborn make a deal and AR takes Caliborn's body and Caliborn takes Jake's (I think that's the gist of it, I only read the first two chapters). So it could spawn from there.

^Honestly, I can't picture Lil' Hal taking Caliborn's body, simply due to his vanity. Caliborn may be a "green skull monster," but he's still meat and flesh; and Lil' Hal loves to gripe about how inferior and disgusting humans (and other fleshy creatures) are.

Also, taking Jake's body (a la "demonic possession" as the anon so lovingly put it) would be tricky on its own. Caliborn has implicated that he would use Lil' Cal to house his soul as a vessel, so obviously he could use Gamzee to take the possessed doll (once its filled) to the alpha session. However, there's the matter of Jake needing to be dead (and possibly the body to be empty) in order to possess it. Since Jake would have to die either a Heroic or Just death in order to leave his body empty for the taking, it would be a waiting game of epic proportions. (Especially since Aranea isn't in the picture in order to wreck shit anymore and make Jake act like an incredibly stupid idiot and jump in front of a freaking sword, no offense to my darling boy.)

Unless, of course, he could just bypass the godtier clock entirely and god for Plan B ...AKA...ripping out Jake's soul? (Yeah, it sounds far-fetched on its own, I know, but Calliope did mention to Roxy that Caliborn wanted to "destroy her soul" (which is what Dirk's godtier title boils down to) and Caliborn HAS seemed to favor Dirk more highly than any of the other alpha kids.)

(Yeeeah, I've had WAY too much time to theorize everything. Meep.)
(Also, if you want to ask me "but how would he get Dirk to go along with it" and etc. etc., I warn you that THAT explanation would be long. So if you want it, awesome, but buckle the fuck up and get ready for walls of text.)
