estoria | [ eye of the tiger plays softly in the bg : OPEN ]

Who: Atsushi Nakajima (

jinko), his robot double, and anyone who gets caught in the fray. RIP.
When: 4/14 - 6/22!
Where: Everywhere... what a mess
What: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dumbass... aka Atsushi's double starts looking like him and it's just disturbing in general
Rating/Warning: None for now!

A. LOVE THYSELF.

[ "This is me trying to make things more familiar for you!

You'd like that, right?"

Says the robot with his face, his hair, his fingernails. The sad thing here is that Atsushi's supplied the double with his own clothes without the robot even prompting for them, so he himself is stuck in clothes that he haphazardly bought post-robopocalypse (an ill-fitting T-shirt and pants that look a size too big), with the caveat that he better get his original wardrobe back in good shape. It's just for the day!!!

So it's fine if you mistake the robot for the original... it can't be helped, really.

Anyway. What's happening right now is Atsushi coming out of a public bathroom, ears steaming red and his hands balled into fists as he stomps out into a public area. What could have happened here???

Well. Wonder no longer, because he turns to robo-Atsushi (who is currently following him out of the bathroom) and yells, quite audibly: ]

You don't have to follow me into the stall, you know!!

[ seek help ]

B. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.

[ After that debacle, it's time to get robokun some clothes...! Some clothes that aren't the precious clothes that Atsushi covets from his world, because he'd really like that suspenders-shirt-inexplicable belt combo back.

He seems to be struggling a bit— what kind of things do robots like?? The robot isn't especially helpful, either, because to Atsushi's suggestion that it choose between a pair of terrible jeans (Atsushi apparently missed that they're bedazzled on the hem?? someone save this boy) or something that looks like pleather slacks (why), the robot amiably says: ]

Whatever'd be best for you?

[ Atsushi's getting a taste of his own medicine, really. He looks defeated, though— help him??? ]

C FOR 'CLOSED TO LILI': WHY THIS

[ On the fateful morning of 4/13, Lili should hear a distinctly undignified yell coming from Atsushi's room at some heinous time in the day; is it 6 am yet? Maybe, but it's early enough to be ambiguous. ]

E, ehhh?! W, wait, you're...!!

[ Cue some shuffling, a loud thud that probably means that Atsushi fell face-first onto something. More shuffling, followed by another: ]

N, no! You definitely can't...! Hey!

[ Some frantic, muffled conversation later: ] Waaah?! No, don't leave the room, come back!!

Threaded | Flat

Wow... You got an even creepier one than the rest of us.

[HELPFUL COMMENTARY STARRING KASHUU KIYOMITSU... He's giving the Atsushibot a once-over and assumes that it's probably finagled Atsushi's clothes right out of his wardrobe because haha, who would willingly give their stuff over to a rude clone, right? Ridiculous!]

But y'know, they're supposed to copy the first person they see, so...

[The question of the hour: How many people would the real Atsushi follow into a public bathroom??]

[It's too early for this.

Lili's still in her posh as fuck pajamas but it sounds like there is Trouble Afoot and that's what has her rushing to her feet because Atsushi's in trouble?! What's happening now?????

So she's honestly grabbing the first weighted item that she could find - her school backpack... ah.... - and slamming the door to Atsushi's room open because HE MIGHT BE IN DANGER—]

Atsushi?! What's going on?!

[This is...this is a disaster in every way. Leon blinks blandly at this struggle, and then there's a very strong urge to side-step the entire situation and carry on with his day but...

The look on Atsushi's face is a little too pathetic to ignore.

Sigh.]

What do you think you're doing? [Seriously. Leon's going to grab both pairs of pants sharply, shoving them back on the rack.

And to the defeated actual Atsushi:]

At least be decisive, if you must make such poor decisions as activating something like this.

[Atsushi's luck probably isn't good today (was it ever good) because a stranger in a bright red coat and a blue kimono happens to pass by the public bathroom carrying a plastic bag of groceries (well, convenience store food and bottled water anyways).

His yelling is what catches her attention and Shiki Ryougi stops and glances at the duo.

For a second, she says nothing.

And then.]

So it's trying to learn how to do that too?

[suddenly Okuni, peering up over Atsushi's shoulder at his fashion choice.]

No, no, don't pick that one. Pick that one! It's funnier!

[Okuni points to a splendid pair of jeans... on another rack. "funnier" tho. how did Okuni just silently creep up on the both of them, the world will never know]

... Ah.

[ Well, it's probably better than most of what Mary's gone through lately. Like almost having a robot dropped on top of her, and getting hit in the face with a soccer ball. Atsushi having bathroom issues with his body double? At least that's not harmful (hopefully).

But she's still going to look supremely unimpressed. ]

...

[Honestly, he should probably just keep walking. This would hardly be the first time Fugo has come across someone being a complete and utter embarrassment. He should really just leave this be, but the secondhand embarrassment is too strong, and so, he speaks up—]

Do you really think that's something you should be saying out loud?

[He didn't want to know this... He didn't need to know about Atsushi's shameless bathroom excursions??]

[ Cue a Loud Dramatic Gasp! ]

You mean you usually go take a poop alone</>!?
