002. ( open! )

[tsunball]

Characters: Leon Kuwata (in Naoki/the Demi-Fiend's body) and you!
Setting: Dormitories and wherever else you want.
Format: Action brackets!
Summary: Leon's been bodyswapped with his worst nightmare. The rest can pretty much be summed up with the shaking and crying emote.
Warnings: As with every log with Leon in it, possible swearing and general dumbassery, 20% 30% chance of balls. Dude sniffer talk too which falls under 'general dumbassery'.

[ Leon's not too surprised about just waking up, of course he sleeps all night, sleep is pretty good.. although he prefers to sleep in usually, but welp, if he's awake he might as well get out of bed.

So far, so good, until he lifts his arm to rub his hair and he realises that his arm.. looks.. different.. what are those tattoos doing on it. Where did his usual clothes go. Why does his hair feel different. In fact, like this, it's almost as if he looks like-- .. a.. h.. In the middle of his panic he runs out into the dormitory hall, as if that'll solve anything, but instead he sees more of the body and gets even more confused. Why does his arm look like that one guy he keeps running into, and his legs are the same, and oh god. Oh. God. The scream he lets out can - honestly, considering it's Leon - probably be heard from quite a distance in the dormitories.

Or if you run into him later on the day instead, he manages to look still just as panicked (which is a pretty strange look to be on Naoki's face, either way). But even if you ignore him, it's too late, he's already running towards you.. ]

.. You got to help me, man! [ Leon, wouldn't it be easier to just check the network or something.. or ask someone in a normal way.. ]

( ooc: feel free to run into him anywhere, he'll generally be running around in panic. replies will be coming from dudesniffer! )

[...So she's not alone. That makes it somewhat easier to bear but not that much easier Naegi would it kill you to work out once in a while at least Fujisaki tries.]

So you are in the same situation, I see...

My name is Sakura Oogami.

[dudesniffer]

... Whaaaaaaat?! [ His reaction is almost comically over the top, he even jumps back a little at that, his eyes wide. That's.. Sakura.. in that body.. oh god, what even, his brain is breaking here. ]

Oogami?! That's you?!

[notthatlucky]

[So it's someone who knows both of them. Not like she knows who Naegi knows, though. Could be Kuwata or Oowada or Akihiko or the little girl with wings for all she can tell.]

I am having trouble believing something so absurd as well. Nevertheless, it is the truth.

[dudesniffer]

Shit, so did all of us switch around then? [ .. then there's the dilemma.. should he tell who he is, or would that risk something.. well, not like he's done anything bad and Sakura's not in a strong body right now either way, so it should be fine, right? ]

.. Uh.. [ he's still.. thinking.. but fine. ] This is Leon, by the way. No way you could recognize me in the dude sniffer's body, I guess.

[notthatlucky]

Your attitude and style of speech are certainly similar to Kuwata's. [If a little louder and much less awkward. Hm. This may be the wrong time to ask, but...]

Do I intimidate you, under normal circumstances?

[dudesniffer]

[ ... Ah. That.. question.. hm, okay. How does he say 'hell yes' without seeming rude because she'll definitely remember and then crush him once she has her normal body back.. WHAT IS TACT, HOW DOES ONE USE IT. Nobody ever taught Leon how to handle stuff like that..!!

So instead he just ends up really quiet for a moment and super fidgety awkward. ]

W-what kind of question is that all of a sudden, Oogami?

[notthatlucky]

You do not wish to answer?

[...Which is an answer in and of itself, really.]

[dudesniffer]

[ It does seem like the easy way out, huh? And taking the easy way out is practically what Leon does all the time, but in this case it doesn't even feel like the easy way-- there are only difficult ways here. ]

... Y.. yeah, of course you intimidate me! [ Fine, he's answering, even if he feels so awkward about it.. this is just making him seem lame, huh? ] You're like a fucking mountain and even stronger than Oowada!

[ and Mondo already scares the shit out of Leon here on a near-daily basis.. ]

[notthatlucky]

[That's not easy to hear, but she did ask.]

Is that it? Is my body the only reason you fear me?

[dudesniffer]

Of course that would make anyone scared of you! [ trying to downplay his own fear by making it out to be something universal.. ] I mean-- it feels like you could punch the shit out of me any moment when I'm talking to you..!

[notthatlucky]

[It's not like she hasn't thought about such things before. Hearing someone admit it outright still hurts... That definitely explains the tone of some of their earlier conversations, at least.]

...I have studied martial arts since I was a small child. Do you understand what that means?

[dudesniffer]

[ sob, sorry, sakura.. leon is not exactly the most subtle person, he doesn't know how to use tact so he just speaks his mind.. ]

... N-.. nothing about hitting me, I hope?

[notthatlucky]

[Leon why do you always leap to these conclusions… He's a Super High School Level Baseball Player, isn't he? Even if sporting events aren't anywhere near as demanding as what she's used to, it must take a lot of training to keep in condition. He should have no trouble understanding if she puts it like this.]

Studying martial arts is more than learning how to fight. Mental discipline is just as critical if you wish to achieve ultimate mastery of your own body. Even if I am angered, striking out at someone [how to word this politely] ...less skilled in battle... using my abilities to hurt someone else for no reason other than irritation or hurt feelings... that would be a disgrace to the art I practice.

[dudesniffer]

[ He's just horrible and a dumbass, please forgive him, Sakura. ]

Wait.. you're serious about that? [ He looks pretty surprised, because.. well, despite Leon being Leon, he did realise that Sakura never really seemed like the lying type.. ] So you wouldn't just randomly punch someone out the way Oowada would?!

[ Leon, you're trying to compare a gang leader to a wrestler. What did you assume. ]

[notthatlucky]

[She is always serious. ALWAYS.]

Oowada has his own fine qualities, but self-control is not one of them. From what I can tell, he has had no proper training in any formal style... Meditation and breathing exercises to calm a restless mind are one of the first things taught by any master worth speaking of.

Have I ever acted in a manner that leads you to doubt my mental discipline?

[dudesniffer]

[ .. Since he's never seen parts of chapter 4, all he can do is reach up and rub the back of his head somewhat awkwardly. Admitting he's in the wrong has never come easy for him. ]

... I guess not. [ that's all you're going to get out of him about it though, okay, this is already difficult enough!! ]
