On a pending bodyswap with Miles Edgeworth

[sailor_v]

MINAKO'S SWEET CHANCE! Just leave it to me, I'll use this opportunity to make both of our lives much better. Check out my to-do list!

[She takes out some very nice pink stationery, her handwriting cute and bubbly.]

1. Go shopping. All these clothes of his are nice if you're going to a historical fair, but it's no wonder he lives alone. Let's find something hot!
2. Learn how to shave.
3. He's not making full use of his dog to attract the ladies. Let's change this. We're going on so many walks!
4. Flirt with suitable potential companions. He'll thank me when he gets his body back and finds his little black book full of phone numbers!
4a. Get a little black book and fill it with phone numbers.
5. Set myself up with some dates by mentioning how cute and single Minako Aino is. It's only fair! ♥

What do you think? Isn't it great? He's going to be so thrilled once we switch back! ♥

Is your friend really going to be okay with you doing that?

[sailor_v]

Yep. He'll be super grateful!

[She knows nothing about him, but she's SUPER SURE! Who wouldn't be grateful for her help? EVERYONE.]

[color_of_chaos]

Should you really be taking liberties with someone else's body like that? He may not appreciate it as much as you think. Especially if you give women the wrong idea about his personality.

[sailor_v]

I think I can mimic his personality well enough. It'll be fine! Besides, he's got a really sweet side, more people need to know about it so they can appreciate it as much as I do.

The spiky-haired guy in this headspace is laughing like a maniac. Something tells me this guy you're swapping with isn't going to be very happy with you.

Threeeeaaadjacking time!

[frilliance]

I have feeling I know which 'spiky-haired guy' you are talking about and I have a message that I would like you to deliver to him. Tell him this:

Grow up.

[all_onis_are_true]

...Well now he's just laughing harder.

[sailor_v]

He's not very happy to begin with, so things can only go up from here!

[gentlestar]

Erm, isn't this...a little presumptuous of you?

[Though he supposes assuming it's presumptuous could be presumptuous on his part.]

[sailor_v]

Why do you say that? I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart!

[gentlestar]

Because it's something you want for him or because it's something he wants for himself?

[after a thoughtful pause, he waves his hands apologetically.] S-sorry, you're right, I guess I don't really know the situation, so I shouldn't be meddling...

[sailor_v]

It's okay, I forgive you!

[She really does have the best of intentions, and the brightest optimism. It's...a potent combination sometimes.]

[gentlestar]

Ah, um, thank you. [Aaaaand this guy is a bit of a doormat.]

I do hope everything works out for the best, though...!

[sailor_v]

Me too! He's a pretty cool guy once you get to know him, so it's my goal to help other people see that.

Minako Aino. Nice to meet you!

[And you are cute.]

[gentlestar]

I'm sure if he's a good person, people will come to understand! M-maybe don't go too overboard though...

Oh...! [Introductions, he always seems to skip the introductions! He gives an apologetic bow, a hand on his hat to keep it in place.] I'm so sorry, how rude of me! I'm Subaru Sumeragi. It's nice to meet you, Aino-san!

[sailor_v]

Aw, no need to be that formal! Call me Minako, or Mina-chan!

[gentlestar]

Um. [Not be so formal. Right.] Sorry. ...Minako-san. [He's a little embarrassed that that's the best he can bring himself to do.

It's hard not to be formal when you've been raised as the head of one of Japan's centuries-old leading spiritual families, really.]

[sailor_v]

That's better, but you're going to need a little more practice! Come on, say it with me. Mina-chan~!

[Don't forget the tilde.]

[gentlestar]

[And this is where Subaru starts to get more than a bit uncomfortable.

On the one hand, it clearly pleases Minako to have people address her in such a friendly, casual manner, and Subaru certainly didn't want to seem impolite or snobbish in refusing to do so. He wasn't that keen on arguing the point, and he did want to make her happy! But...

Whether out of humility or respect, or just plain politeness (probably a combination of all three), Subaru rarely referred to anyone as anything more casual than "-san", even his fellow students and contemporaries, with one very glaring exception-- Actually, now that you mention it...

The thought makes Subaru chuckle warmly, which breaks some of his internal tension. Really, he's not sure why it didn't occur to him before.]

You remind me of my sister. [It's a kind observation, not a criticism. At least this way he avoids the question of how to call her, for the moment.]

[sailor_v]

Is that a good thing?

[She looks hopeful anyway. Being reminded of a sister can be a good sign. Being treated like one? ...Not so much. Don't you dare sister-zone her that fast!]

[gentlestar]

We're just very different. She's...a lot more outgoing than I am.

[He rubs the back of his neck, offering a shy smile. It's not really a good or bad thing, but gives him some context, at least.]

[sailor_v]

Huh. Okay. Guess I can't say anyone's ever accused me of being shy before!

[And while he smiles shyly, she grins like a dork.]

[gentlestar]

[He chuckles.] She's similar, very friendly and welcoming. Very...open. [In a way he never could be.] You'd probably get along well with her, Minako-san!

[They could go out shopping! And try on each other's clothes! And get their nails done!

Subaru, knowing his work schedule, probably would not be there, but they would surely have more fun without him anyway.]

[sailor_v]

That sounds like fun. I won't say no to more friends!

[Which is why she's sidling closer to Subaru too. Eh? EH?]

[frilliance]

No he's not!

[sailor_v]

Yaaaaahhhhhhhhh scary! I'll make sure not to make that face when we're switched, or you'll never get a date!

[frilliance]

I prefer it that you don't get me any dates at all, young lady. [Asexual workaholic lawyer DOES NOT APPROVE OF YOUR ANTICS. :|]

[sailor_v]

Why not? It's not like there's much else to do in this place.

[frilliance]

On the contrary, I can think of a lot you could be doing other than.....[Ugh.]that.

[sailor_v]

[She's afraid to ask...]

Like what?

[Text]

[lookingforhead]

Ah

are you sure this is okay?

[Text]

[sailor_v]

Naturally! ♥

[lookingforhead]

I'm not so sure. This seems a bit invasive.

[sailor_v]

Hey, he's stuck in my body too! Neither of us can really help being invasive.

[lookingforhead]

Y-you don't think he's going to do something strange with your body, do you?

[sailor_v]

The worst he's likely to do is wear something stupidly frilly.

[She massages her temples. How can she teach fashion to someone like THAT?]

[lookingforhead]

Hmmm, you have a point

The previous version of him got married to Aqua right before he vanished.

If it wasn't for that, I'd honestly think he might like...you know.

[sailor_v]

His clothing does give the wrong kind of impression. Guess it's up to me to fix that!

[belated_first_class]

[Zack isn't saying anything but instead just watches and already he feels embarrassed for Edgeworth.]

[asapphireheart]

[Her mouth opens.

And then closes.

She's probably going to curl up in her apartment for all of this.]
