"Switcheroo Spectacular: Hell's Comedy of Errors"

Blitzo woke up feeling oddly serene, which was strange considering he usually felt about as serene as a cat in a dog park. He blinked a few times, trying to remember the evening's misadventures. There was something involving too much beer, a cursed portrait, and a game called "Switcheroo Spectacular." His brain was well-acquainted with chaos and knew it was better to not ask questions when it came to magical games that promised elaborate hijinks.

Meanwhile, Stella groggily stretched in a bed that was suspiciously scratchy and scented with something vaguely resembling burning tires. She blinked up at a ceiling adorned in posters of demonic horses and an unsettling number of motivational cat memes.

Blitzo glanced into the mirror and experienced the horrifying revelation of seeing Stella's aristocratic features staring back at him. Her face twitched as if it was just as shocked to find itself there. He attempted a dramatic gasp, but it came out as more of a refined cough. "Holy inferno, I'm... I'm the bird lady with a vendetta!"

Stella, on the other hand, took a while to register the situation. She glanced around at the cluttered room before catching sight of herself in the mirror. Her eyes widened as she took inventory of the black turtleneck, the wild, mismatched eyes, and horns that looked like they'd been ripped off a cartoon devil. "What infernal prankery is at play here, and who do I have to obliterate to be rid of it?"

Blitzo, unable to contain his glee despite the predicament, decided taking Stella's place could be entertaining. "Oh, the places we'll go, Stelly! I can't wait to try out that awful attitude you've got down to a fine art!"

Stella's expression, now sporting Blitzo's manic grin, reflected deep displeasure. "If you'd kindly return my body, that would be grand. I've got villainous schemes and petty grievances that require my personal touch."

Ignoring Stella's plea, Blitzo strutted through the manor, adopting a vaudevillian swagger. "Look at me!" he declared to the ornate decor and confused servants. "I'm aristocratically mad!" His attempts at graceful gestures accidentally knocked over a vase. "Oopsie-doodle! Royal tantrum privileges, am I right?"

In the IMP headquarters, Stella as Blitzo was having a losing battle with incompetence management. "You bumbling imbeciles!" she snapped in Blitzo's voice, pointing an accusing finger at Moxxie, who was casually dodging Stella's attempts to throw tacky horse figurines at him. "Why are we surrounded by these ghastly things?"

Moxxie shrugged. "Just Blitzo being... Blitzo, ma'am. Anything else we should be killing today?"

Meanwhile, Blitzo-in-Stella was reveling in the chaos he could bring upon her domain. He discovered an array of extravagant hats, each more obnoxious than the last, and modeled them for an increasingly perplexed Stryker. "How do I look?" Blitzo beamed, tipping a wide-brimmed monstrosity. "Like a frilly turkey ready for conquest?"

Stryker, alarmed yet amused, muttered, "It's like a dream come true, except without the sanity."

Eventually, after causing enough havoc disguised as each other, Blitzo and Stella found themselves in front of the cursed portrait again. Though still not entirely clear on the magical rules, they instinctively knew it was their key back to normalcy.

With a simultaneous, half-hearted whack to the eternally cheesy artwork, they swapped back. Reality snapped into alignment as the familiar oddness settled in their bones. Blitzo chuckled, "Well, that was fun! We should do this more often."

Stella eyed him coolly, "Only if you want to become intimately acquainted with a silk pillow to the face."

As Blitzo retreated victoriously, Stella contemplated hiring someone who could ban whatever felonious swaps threatened her future peace. Revenge and body swap plots, at last, were not worth her refined wrath. Blitzo, however, already planned on commissioning a sequel to "Switcheroo Spectacular." After all, while bodies swapped back, chaos painting new colors never lost its shine in Hell's comedic wonderland.
