[It's been a few days since the swap. Roxas was a little older, a little taller, but all in all, Lucas was appreciative that he hadn't ended up in a really unusual body. He hadn't the least idea what he would do if he'd ended up as an adult, anyway.
It was a little uncomfortable at first, getting used to longer limbs and firmer muscles, but he felt ready to go out in public after a bit. There wasn't any sense keeping cooped up forever; who knew how long it would take for things to get back to normal? ...But it isn't until he's been out and about a few times that he realizes something. Nobody actually knows who's been swapped... This could be a good opportunity...]
Hi! ...I'm Roxas. It's a really nice day out, isn't it?
[And so Lucas runs up to just about everyone he sees with a bright smile.]
I thought you looked like you could use a drink!
[Offering them assistance or free food when it looks like they need help...]
Did you need any help?
[And generally being an overly friendly pest. In short, Lucas spends the entire week being as aggressively friendly to as many people he sees as possible. Whether they need help with groceries or pulling weeds or training Pokemon, Lucas!Roxas is there to lend a hand. ...Or give moral support, anyway.
Roxas had always seemed like he was a little lonely! He's 100% sure Roxas will thank him for making him all of these new friends!!! He'll just make a list of people he's talked to and pass it on to Roxas after this was all over; the plan is genius.
Nothing can possibly go wrong.]
no subject
[and here's someone that may usually already know Roxas. But since Rin's just kind of staring blankly at him, he can probably get the hint that this isn't the case anymore.]
What? I dunno. Snacks are always good.
[Lea's tail swishes. She just got a craving for ice cream for some reason. What's up with that.]
no subject
[Hmmmmmmm. Isn't this one of Roxas's friends already? He thinks. ...He's not really 100% sure. What if he calls him out...
What to say.]
Um.
[Possible responses:
1. "I know you, right" - No
2. "Hello friend, I forgot how to spell your name it starts with a ....P......?" - What if his name was Bob
3. Turn around abruptly and pretend to become violently ill.
4. Continue the charade.]
...Yeah! Let's get something to eat.
[Wait no Roxas wasn't this chipper.]
...If you, uh. Feel like it. You know.
[Perfect nobody will suspect a thing.]
no subject
Well, you already offered, so yeah. I don't have anything better to do right now.
[Len went running off in Absol form, she gave up trying to find him for now, and she's bored. Part of her is curious what he's being so nice for, but it seems maybe he thinks she's his friend?
... but even if that's the case, might as well take advantage. Not her fault if he got tricked.]
Do you know where the sweet shop is? I'll do something cool~ ♪
[She's been messing around with his powers, playing around with them is pretty fun.]
no subject
Uh-huh. It's... right around the corner, I think.
[Lucas will lead the way. He comes here fairly often since half of his Pokemon gravitate to it for one reason or another.]
So...
[Friend of Roxas I don't know who also kind of looked at me odd just now.]
How is... everything?
[Flawless disguise.]
no subject
...I'm sorry, have we met?
[She's just carting some groceries with her skinny Fairy-type arms here, nothing to be alarmed about.]
no subject
[It's Merrill! Lucas knows her, but... he's pretty sure Roxas doesn't.]
No, ma'am! I just thought you could use some help with those...
[Actually it's kind of implying he thinks she's a weakling, isn't it.]
Not because you can't handle it! Just because... I... um. Wanted to.
no subject
Sure, why not? Here you go.
[Have a week's worth of food just piled into your arms there, Luxas. She's normally more paranoid, but it's heavy enough he shouldn't be able to run off with everything.]
no subject
[wow this is not very Merrill-esque behavior. Luxas's legs slump a few feet under the pile, but uh... he did offer, after all!]
G-Glad... to be of help!
[did she just give him everything she had]
Gosh! This is a lot of food. Were you stocking up for anything special, Miss M -- ....Miss Stranger?
no subject
[Isabela figures she might as well have some with this. Merrill probably wouldn't mind.]
Well, a friend of mine told me I need to eat more and not be such a skinny slip of a girl, and I always take everything everyone tells me one hundred percent literally, you know.
no subject
Real...ly?
[It's kind of weird that she's being so openly candid about this.]
Well, I think your friend probably just means that maybe... you should try to strengthen yourself? I'm sure she meant it in a good way.
no subject
Well, Isabela is wise, brilliant, and attractive, so I'm definitely going to follow her advice.
Now chop chop, let's get these things home before something melts.
no subject
[.....OK Lucas is sweet and naive, but he's not a total moron, either.]
...Miss Isabela, does Miss Merrill know you're doing this to her body?
[Says the boy making his borrowed body friends.]
no subject
I told the woman I was going to feed her a decent meal, yes.
I think I left out any mention of screwing with her friends, though.
no subject
...Huh.
Well, I'm not actually sure if Miss Merrill knows this person. I, um. Switched, too...
no subject
I'm surprised it wasn't your first assumption, really. This is happening to a lot of people.
Who are you normally?
no subject
My name is Lucas - Miss Merrill and I were together when we saw that monster out in the Plains.
no subject
Oh, I didn't know she got involved in that. Let me guess, she tried to make friends with it?
no subject
[He smiles a little bit.]
No, I think she recognized it was pretty dangerous to try and do anything like that. She did her best to keep it under control...
no subject
Merrill recognized it was dangerous? It must have been the scariest thing on the planet.
no subject
...Well. Maybe not that exactly, but at least she kept her distance.
It was pretty scary, though. Just being near it... it made you feel all...
[He's not really sure how to describe the aura of intimidation.]
no subject
[ Lucas. Lucas what are you doing.
Roxas has gotten used to Lucas' body over the past few days. It was strange being younger and not as... physically in shape? the past few days, but it wasn't that hard to get use to.
Partially because while unfamiliar it's a little familiar at the same time?
Really though, the biggest pain is not being able to teleport. Lea was right and he should use his teleporting as much as he had.
So "Lucas" is walking around town when he notices well..."Roxas" pulling some weeds?
????? Gonna go over and ask ]
... What are you doing?
no subject
Huh? Sorry, am I in --
[pause.
long pause.
really long pause...........]
Aaaaaaaah -- You're me! ...I didn't know I sounded like that!
...Is that... Roxas?
no subject
Y-Yeah, it's me, Roxas. ... Now that you mention it I never thought I sounded like that either.
[ Thought he sounded a little morelike his brother. Oh well. ]
But this means you're... Lucas, right?
no subject
Uh-huh.
[OK his master plan didn't actually entail running across himself at any point, so he'll just kind of stare for a little bit.]
...Is it OK if I poke you? ...Me. My face.
no subject
Uh ... I ... guess so?
[ THAT'S kind of a weird question but if you really want to poke you own face Lucas.... ]
no subject
[Poke.
....Poke poke poke.]
...This is a lot weirder than I thought it would be. Everything looks different when it's not in a mirror...
no subject
Really? It actually doesn't feel that strange to me when I look at myself...
[ But maybe that's because he frequently looked at someone with the same face as him fora few months before said person vanished. ]
no subject
Um.
She blinks, but then takes it, and blinks some more at this before she nods ]
Thanks?
no subject
You're welcome!
[/aggressively and yet subtly befriends!]
Do you need anything else? It's a little hotter than it usually is about this time of year, right?
[maybe the drink is poisoned why is this boy smiling so much.]
no subject
no subject
A fan...?
[Not really, no. His grandfather just told him to open the windows and sit in the shade of his dresser.]
No... But I have some Flying types who could cool things down!
no subject
[ They're going to actually do it... ? ]
no subject
I don't see why not! Um...
[Let's see, some of his Pokemon already know about this, but maybe it would be a little disturbing to the others...]
...Actually, the only Flying type I have is a Drifloon now that I think about it. Do you think it would cool you down?
no subject
no subject
[Harsh.]
I was thinking maybe if it used Gust and things like that...
no subject
no subject
...
I could just buy you some ice cream instead if you'd like.
