[This would be hilarious if it wasn't her butt being held.... also unfortunately sooyoung has seen her body go through some wild and wacky things like she's seen people stab her, cut her head off, set her on fire, pulverize her.....

but she draws the line at watching her butt being grabbed.

which is why she's running on up in claude's body (wow she feels so tall) and instead of doing something sensible like idk distracting the butt-grabber she just




punches him out]

Die.

[midway]

[ Everything is happening so fast. One second Claude is both grabbing a butt and having his (his?) butt grabbed, and the next he's groping air while watching his body moving majestically through the air, handsome features carved with determination, raw power in his body as he slams his fist into this random guy's face.

His heart rate picks up slightly. Is he really that moved by his own appearance?

Or maybe he's just having a panic attack at having his body stolen. ]

What are you doing?! People are going to think we're dating.

[ There goes Claude... Being macho and possessive because some guy grabbed his girlfriend's butt. ]

[pyojeol]

[Sooyoung!Claude checks to see if said guy is passed out, which of course he is. She knows how to throw a punch! At least she didn't bodyswap with a twink. Then she registers Claude's words

]

-- Why would anyone think that...

[HELLO? she looks down at... herself. damn, she's short.

anyway she goes back to touching this unconscious guy's butt and pulls out the money pouch,]

[midway]

[ Okay, that isn't the most important thing right now, but Claude's so disoriented that he's not thinking straight.

Watching his body continue to grope this stranger's ass doesn't help, and he scowls at the interloper. ]

If you're using my body for crime, I'm keeping that money.

[ Look, he's the one that felt the ass grabbing. ]

[pyojeol]

-- I was using mine first!

[she thinks of shoving the pouch in claude's!her body, but there's been enough butt-touching. She shoves it in Claude's pocket instead that is hopefully not near his butt.]

It's not my fault you hijacked my body! You almost got me caught...

[Actually, he did get her caught, but thankfully her victim thought she was being slutty]

[midway]

I'm flattered you think that I arranged this. Which I didn't.

[ Hm. Sooyoung's voice pulls off the dry, unimpressed tone quite well.

He sighs, tilting his head up toward the sky as if asking for answers. ]

Your back hurts. You should take better care of your body.

[pyojeol]

[sooyoung shoots him a DIRTY look.]

Shut up, no it doesn't.

[speaking of bodies, claude feels so limber. he really ISN'T a twink, huh... is this what youth is like....]

-- Do you work out or something? I really thought I was gonna break my hand against that guy's jaw.

[and was casually surprised that she did not]

[midway]

[

He's just being annoying because he's frustrated about having to grope a stranger's ass, and getting groped in return. Is this the horror that women face everyday?

Anyway, he just lifts a brow at her. ]

Now you're trying to pick me up? I won't be as easy as that wallet.

[ He squeezes her bicep. Is Sooyoung stronk too? ]

[pyojeol]

[STOP DON"T JUST LINK CLAUDE IN THE TAGS NOOO HE'S SO CUTE boots up my game again

they're really standing here touching their muscles huh. unfortunately she is also stronk for being a shortie,]

Alright, I know stealing is technically a crime -- [technically] but picking you up would definitely be illegal.

[she has so few morals but she has SOME. unfortunately they do not include random groping.

sooyoung pats claude's stomach. abs confirmed.]

[midway]

[ STOP I LITERALLY SAW YOU PLAYING YESTERDAY

but yeah, this sure is weird. he just frowns when he sees her feeling up his abs, looking down at her body and.

his hands hover over her breasts, unsure. ]

[pyojeol]

[claude is NOT 20. he's actually a 14 year old who has also isekaied into the body of adult, like Sylvain. She's figured it out.

Sooyoung stares at him.]

It's 50,000 coins for a grab, and 35,000 for a swipe. Double that if you grope both.

[midway]

[ His hands drop and he shakes his head. ]

I'm not some teenage pervert. [ He was just curious. He's never had breasts before! ] In any case, what do you suppose is going on here?

[pyojeol]

[mmmhmmmmmm

Sooyoung runs a hand through her hair, momentarily forgetting that this is not her hair. it's Claude's. She might accidentally muss his hair up a little, but it's fine. He's sexy with his hair pushed back.]

Feels like your standard body swap. Dunno why it's happening now though. What's the relation between switching bodies and whatever this festival's celebrating?

[midway]

Standard? What exactly is standard about switching bodies?

[ ??? Ugh, his tummy hurts. ]

Festivals are meant to bring people together. Perhaps the intent is similar here.

[pyojeol]

[WHY DOES HIS TUMMY HURT SHE DIDN'T EAT THAT MANY well ig she did eat a lot of festival food... she looks down at sooyoung!claude. she is enjoying this height difference, and her tummy doesn't even hurt.]

Is it working? Do you feel closer to me all of a sudden?

[midway]

[ iT'S FROM ANXIETY anyway he looks extremely doubtful. the expression probably doesn't look that out of place on sooyoung's face. ]

Not particularly. [ ... ] Sharing some of your wealth would certainly do wonders to bring us closer together, though.

[pyojeol]

[sooyoung also looks extremely doubtful, an expression that claude probably also makes]

How rich do you think I am... I'm barely getting by on my own!

[midway]

[ He pats her belly. ]

I don't feel the telltale signs of malnutrition, so you must be doing better than me.

[pyojeol]

[stop he's making this weird]

Don't be dramatic. I'm in your body, remember?

[she does a quick vibe check. how close to fainting is she supposed to feel...]

[midway]

[ he WILL try to guilt trip her

he actually is a little hungry, but that's because Claude's appetite is massive ]

And you'll never get out if we don't bond.

[pyojeol]

[BY TOUCHING HER TUMMY?]

You just made that up...

[CLAUDE!!! anyway she starts moving away, say so long to your body claude, so that she can reach for the nearest plate of free food. she avoids the big platter of nuts and grabs a slice of lemon cake instead.]

-- You don't have any allergies, do you?

[midway]

I'm surprised you're showing concern for me.

[ He frowns at her, irritation bleeding into his tone. Which catches him by surprise, blinking and the frustration that's building up in Sooyoung's small body.

There's no reason for him to be annoyed.

He grabs one of the lemon cakes as well, helping himself. ]

[pyojeol]

[Wow, is that how she sounds when she's annoyed... Sooyoung finishes up her slice, watching small!Claude,]

Look, if we're gonna be stuck in each other's bodies for who knows how long, then we need to be careful. I don't want to see you die in my body. That would be really weird.

[even if she's seen herself die before.... it hits different when it's claude]
