001; lay me down in the bed that i've made. ( open! )

[tsunball]

Characters: Leon Kuwata and you!
Setting: Dormitories (room 01-16) and wherever you want as long as it's reasonably safe.
Format: Action brackets really preferred, but if you want to prose that badly I can match.
Summary: Leon finds himself in the tower for the first time and has clear priorities.
Warnings: Possible swearing and general dumbassery. Balls.

( room 01-16 )

[ It's a good thing Leon always wakes up so slowly - it's why he hardly even notices the sleep paralysis among the lazy waking and the surprise that he can still even be conscious in any way. Still, a few moments after it disappears and the full realisation settles in that he's alive and can move, he jerks up until he sits in the bed.

There's a few things he has to realise here. The first is that somehow he's alive despite the fact there's no way he could ever have survived that, he's sure he died. Especially with how painful it was, just thinking back on it is enough to make a shiver run down his spine. But.. that means that right now he's dead yet alive, right? So then this must be.. the afterlife, huh? He can only see the room through tiny slits - opening his eyes fully feels so tiresome right after he wakes up - but it sure isn't anywhere he recognizes. And he can even feel that damn collar (he doesn't bother to look at it to see the difference) around his neck. What is this, humiliation even in the afterlife?

... Ah, well. You know what, it doesn't even matter. If this is the afterlife, then that's just it, and he'll find out what exactly happens in the afterlife later. More importantly he's in a bed right now and finally being out of that school means he can finally really sleep without anyone interrupt it. Yeah, that's right, everything else can come later. The afterlife can wait a few more hours for Leon Kuwata. So he just drops himself backwards again to catch some more (in his opinion finally well-deserved) sleep. Finally there's that nap he wanted all along.

This is why roommates might find the new guy completely sprawled out on his bed while sleeping as if he nearly passed out on there (he did sleep much less than usually the last few days for him, okay!!) and snoring loudly. ]

( elsewhere in the tower; pick a location )

[ Unfortunately Leon can't remain in his oblivious bliss forever, so after waking up later and actually finding the letter and the like (and some possible explanations from roommate(s)) he's trying to get some grasp on the situation by thinking about it and meanwhile walking around to see some more of the place. He's sticking to the safe parts since he's not completely stupid.

At least he put on his own clothes (seriously, what the hell was that other thing he woke up in, he's so not ever wearing that again). He doesn't still fully trust the situation though, so that baseball bat he found in his trunk? Yes, he's carrying it with him just in case. He's not going to let himself be taken by surprise again, not like last time. ]

[Now it's just becoming Bad Ideas]

That's right! Now we're even, he's not a head master or anything like that here! And there's definitely not punishments...!

[tsunball]

[ MONOBEAR IS DEAD... TO US!! ]

What the hell can he even really do against us here? He's just a tiny bear now, right? Woah, I'm so scared! [ he laughs. ]

[mustlovedogs]

Yeah! He can't do shit! He's just some kinda robot, right? That's nothing. Can he even come back if we smash him now?

[tsunball]

Who knows..? Maybe we should just go and test it out.

[mustlovedogs]

Aah, that's a good idea, I like the way you think, Kuwata!

[no that's a terrible idea]

[tsunball]

[ tbh putting these two together is just staring Terrible Ideas Inc. ]

.. Y'know, you're pretty cool after all, Oowada. [ since his first impression back in school was 'STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS DUDE IF YOU DON'T WANT A WORLD OF PAIN'.. ] It's good to at least be stuck here with someone sensible instead of some crazy chick.

[mustlovedogs]

[Yeah he sure doesn't envy what happened with Maizono, but more importantly...]

You think I was lame before or somethin'?

[tsunball]

Wh- .. No, no way..! [ oh god, this is going in the wrong direction and he didn't even mean it that way!! ]

I just thought-- .. well, what would you think someone would feel like to know one of the people around is some sort of Super High-school Level Gang Leader?!

[mustlovedogs]

So, what, you afraid? Super High School Level Gang Leaders are people too, right? Guess it's...I dunno, flattering or something, but that's the kind of thing you want other gangs and cops to think. Not, you know, friends and stuff...

[tsunball]

You punched out Naegi back there, man! [ never mind they were all worked up.. ] Of course I'd think something like that after that happening.

[mustlovedogs]

I didn't mean to knock him out!! That kid just can't take a punch! Besides, you remember what just happened then, right?! Everybody was shitting themselves!

[tsunball]

Of course I remember that shit..! [ because Leon was freaking out too.. as he.. always does.. ]

But.. shit, the point is that right now I don't think of you that way, okay, Oowada? We're cool!

[mustlovedogs]

Aa? Alright, alright. But, you know, even the best people make mistakes, okay?! Everybody gets worked up and does stuff they regret! Just keep not thinking about it!

[tsunball]

[ ah, of course he had to bring that up, everyone getting worked up and doing stuff they regret is something he experienced first hand..!! uwoooo..

He almost looks a little monkey-faced defeated as the realisation sets in. ]

Yeah, that's just something both of us know, isn't it.

[mustlovedogs]

[Oh, he wasn't even thinking about it in that way, but...]

Ugh, yeah, you lose your head and shit just happens...but we gotta show Naegi and those guys we're not bad guys, right? Pretty sure it's only been us so we're gonna look like real monsters otherwise...

1 / 2

[tsunball]

Of course! We're not bad guys at all..!

[ Although, all in all, it's actually pretty nice to have.. well, someone who understands rather than immediately judges him for what happened. Even Leon has to admit that much to himself. ]

2 / 2

[tsunball]

... Hey.. [ this is a little less spirited, because.. uwo.. ]

Do you really think Naegi and those others think that we're-- .. well, they were being pretty passionate about it at that trial, yeah...

[mustlovedogs]

It was pretty much the same for me, yeah. But it's all about the way they look at you. It fucking sucks. Naegi seems pretty cool about it anyway. Don't know about the others...

[He figures Ishimaru would rip into him, given the chance. Let an Aniki down...]

[tsunball]

[ At least Naegi's a bro, but.. blah, it's not like Leon would admit he wants to be accepted by the group, that's not the punk thing to do, uwoo!!! Not like he cares or anything.. balls. ]

At least we have Naegi and each other then, right? I don't know about Kirigiri, but she's been weird all this time either way. [ a girl he can't hit on is immediately weird, okay. ] And if anyone else is here, we'll deal with it when we find out.

[mustlovedogs]

Aah, I don't get that girl, she's weird for sure.

I don't know if I want anybody else to be around or not, you know?

[tsunball]

I wouldn't mind having some of them around.. [ hint: he's thinking with his lower regions at the moment.

Although at the same time he realises something-- ]

.. Wait.. what if that chick shows up in this place as well?! She might go straight for me again..!

[mustlovedogs]

[some of them like Junko right]

What would she do that for, it's not gonna do her any good this time... Unless you mean...you don't think they'll want revenge?

[Okay he's pretty safe if Chihiro does, but still]

[tsunball]

[ Mostly Junko. Especially Junko. ]

Would you really put it past her..?! I mean-- .. of course you didn't see it, but she was completely nuts! She attacked me like some sort of psycho, if I wouldn't have fought back she'd have murdered me on the spot like a wild animal..! [ he might actually look legitly frightened in the middle of getting worked up about this. ]

If it's like that, I'm sure she'd want to get her revenge!

[mustlovedogs]

Yeah, I get it. Sounds pretty scary. ...If she shows up, I've got your back. [He definitely wouldn't fight her, but she should have enough sense not to try that, right?] Just keep that bat with you, I guess...but definitely only for selfdefense if she pops up, right? Hitting a girl's just not right for any reason...

1 / 2

[tsunball]

I wouldn't hit her randomly..! What do you think I am, some sort of maniac?! [ no, just an idiot who gets worked up too easily and maybe even violent in that sense..

But it's true that as long as Leon's in his right mind and not worked up, he wouldn't attack her by himself - not even if she showed up now. Sure, he has a grudge against her still, but violence is not an option for that anymore after the whole murder. ]
