[As in, at about the same time that these rude dopplegangerbots are starting to become pretty indistinguishable from their originals...
WHICH IS TO SAY, LEON'S ABOUT TO HAVE A BAD TIME. Because wherever he is, just walking down the sidewalk, standing in line, working, minding his own business, whatever - suddenly there's a Kashuu!]
Oh! Good, good - there you are.
I was looking for you eeeverywhere, Leon!
[Ah.
That second sentence sure came from a different direction - specifically from Kashuu 2, who's walking up the other side of the sidewalk. WELCOME TO HELL, WELCOME TO HELL.]
[It's one thing to see a single Kashuu, though that's enough to make Leon pause a bit, and consider if he has to go the other way fast. If Kashuu's got some new, terrible plan in store--
... The voice comes from somewhere else, and he glances over and it's a second Kashuu, and this has to be a new circle of hell and Leon doesn't even respond, he just immediately turns on his heel and starts walking the other way.
[Everything about this is incredibly scarring........ so so scarring. He's being chased by two Kashuus but Leon can't flee, that would be embarrassing, so all he can manage is a well paced walk, so Kashuu will probably catch up to him pretty quickly.
[The party don't start til Kashuu walks in and then walks in again at the other side of the bar...
At least Leon doesn't have to deal with tug-of-war like Lili did! Kashuu knows better than to make a grab for him unless he wants to get kicked or something, and that would just give Kashuubot the chance to abduct Leon and abscond.]
I wanted to catch up and see how you were doing and all. This thing was totally on its way out to get some errands run, riiight?
[Kashuubot just POUTS AND LOUDLY DECLARES:] But that's a lot of work... I hate jobs that make me sweaty! [Ah, a bot after his own heart.]
[This is altogether too much Kashuu already and Leon's Struggling more and more by the minute. At least he's not getting grabbed, yeah, that would be terrible. For everyone.
But instead....
He stares at the Kashuubot flatly. And then back to Kashuu.]
[AGH LEAVE HIM ALONE he points accusingly at the robot...]
I didn't do it on purpose! Some idiot smacked into me while I was looking at it and I accidentally hit the button! [And by then it was TOO LATE, his fate was sealed... Kashuubot just waves a hand dismissively.]
It's called a happy accident when that stuff happens, you know.
It recovers from damage. I dunno if that's like, just a thing it does or if it's just 'cause of me, though.
[If Leon is brutal then KASHUU SURE IS TOO... Even though he first discovered that through accident.
Kashuubot, in the mean time, looks pretty alarmed by the suggestion and even steps away from Leon a little and closer to Kashuu. This is where he's less brutal... It's because of reactions like that that he hasn't just been able to try 100 Ways To Kill Your Robot.]
[HE DOESN'T WANT KASHUUBOT TO FEEL SAFER AROUND HIM.
But it's also hard to be really mean to it...]
Ew, no. [At least he doesn't seem to be lying about that. RUDE. Kashuubot sticks his tongue out maturely.] It's just like, super attached to me for some dumb reason.
[Ah, he and Kashuubot definitely said that at the same time... This is like a chain of morons, good work.]
Look, you don't even get a say. [TURNING TO JAB A FINGER AT SAID BOT who just huffs and mutters something that sounds like a petulant "whatever".] And you - there's nothing strange about it! That's what people who like making friends do.
[.... Eeurgh. Double trouble Kashuus, he definitely didn't want this and he's not entirely sure how to handle it, especially when they're bickering amongst themselves, too.]
Oi. Enough.
[Sheesh!!]
The fact of the matter is that even if this robot takes on your appearance and mannerisms, it isn't as though it is anything like you, proper. That is all that matters.
[Is that... a compliment?? A compliment from Leon?! About as much of a compliment as he thinks Leon can physically handle, anyway - but a compliment nonetheless! Aw, saying that a spooky robot can't replace him... What a great friend, that Leon.]
—Yeah, well... I know! I know. I mean, there's only one Kashuu Kiyomitsu, y'know? [Robokashuu is nOT PLEASED WITH THIS, THOUGH, and looks at Leon somewhat uncertainly.]
Sooo... You're saying I could like, do better?
[Kashuu elbows it... Not very gently either, rude.]
[A compliment, a definite compliment...! He's remembering this moment forever and he'll use it as ammo the next time Leon denies being friends (so within like, 24 hours).
Kashuubot seems conflicted regarding how to respond to that, though?! IT HAS LEARNED ANGRY DEFIANCE WELL FROM KASHUU but has also started picking up on that fear of rejection, and the threat of being dismantled definitely doesn't sit well. It reached for Kashuu's arm instead, keeping a wary eye on Leon, and rudely declares:]
I don't like this guy. I wanna go.
[Which is followed by a tugging motion that Kashuu half-heartedly bats away...]
Not now, geez. And don't be a jerk! Leon doesn't like you 'cause you're a freaky robot thing.
[He's a perfect pure angel so clearly it's the robot!! Clearly.]
Well, duh. That's why I was trying to avoid this mess in the first place! [If only rude NPCs who bump into poor innocent peanuts weren't milling around.]
[The three Stahns is definitely a comedy-horror, he's experienced it firsthand and can confirm.]
If you say stuff like that with such a straight face, I'm gonna think you aren't joking.
[A SIGH... Why's Leon gotta be like this. Either way, he's joking, but his double rudely supplies:] Maybe he doesn't like you either. [Complete with a punk expression that Kashuu now regrets making within the bot's eyesight...]
You're the one who's gonna give me the bigger headache at this rate! Don't make me rethink leaving you alone.

WHOOPS.]
no subject
[BOTH OF THEM SAY THAT IN TANDEM but then one of the Kashuus rudely points at the other and adds:]
Stop that already, dammit! Leon's not even your friend, he's mine!
[Just in case Leon thought he'd escaped the friendship express...
That same Kashuu will also be the first one to trot after Leon as he tries to make his escape. As if things could be that easy!!]
Wait up, wait up! [From Kashuu 2, who is apparently not pleased with the idea of being left behind...]
no subject
Kashuu x2 combo.
Yep.]
What do you want?

At least Leon doesn't have to deal with tug-of-war like Lili did! Kashuu knows better than to make a grab for him unless he wants to get kicked or something, and that would just give Kashuubot the chance to abduct Leon and abscond.]

I cannot believe you activated that thing.
[WHY]

no subject
Have you attempted to take it apart, yet?
[Wow Leon brutal.]
no subject
[If Leon is brutal then KASHUU SURE IS TOO... Even though he first discovered that through accident.

no subject
Why is everyone like this....]
... Are you attached to it?
no subject
But it's also hard to be really mean to it...]
Ew, no. [At least he doesn't seem to be lying about that. RUDE. Kashuubot sticks his tongue out maturely.] It's just like, super attached to me for some dumb reason.
no subject
[Huff.....]
You do tend to unnecessarily attach yourself to people. [he'll fight you, kashuubot, don't make him fight you.]
no subject
Hey! It's not unnecessary! And I'm not creepy about it, okay? This guy's totally creepy! [Kashuubot looks offended...]
Don't be rude.
no subject
That isn't to say that the way that you attach yourself to people as well isn't strange, because it is.
[Leon............... stop....]
no subject
[Ah, he and Kashuubot definitely said that at the same time... This is like a chain of morons, good work.]
Look, you don't even get a say. [TURNING TO JAB A FINGER AT SAID BOT who just huffs and mutters something that sounds like a petulant "whatever".] And you - there's nothing strange about it! That's what people who like making friends do.
[Maybe not as intensely as he does BUT STILL.]

[Kashuu elbows it... Not very gently either, rude.]
no subject
Ahem.
Leon just meets Kashuubot's eyes flatly and almost scarily calmly responds with:]
I will take you to pieces. Now shut up. We're talking, so stop interrupting.
[Leon's...so rude to people he doesn't like...and robots apparently.]
no subject
Kashuubot seems conflicted regarding how to respond to that, though?!

no subject
This can only possibly end poorly, you are aware of this, right?
[Like. It's Cerealia and these are freaky robot things.]
no subject
Well, duh. That's why I was trying to avoid this mess in the first place! [If only rude NPCs who bump into poor innocent peanuts weren't milling around.]
But it's not like I can do much about it now.
no subject
Hmph.
[Nothing, huh... that doesn't sit well with Leon at all.]
So you will simply allow this robot to continue to take your face and clothing without recompense?
[Chill, Leon, it's pretty harmless.]
no subject
What do you expect me to do, huh? If I lock it up it just breaks out, and I can't dismantle it.
[Robotkashuu flinches JUST AT THE MENTION OF THE WORD-- Clearly they've gone through this song and dance before.]
no subject
[Leon's ice cold about these bots, he's already at the end of his rope with them, considering there are three Stahns running about.]
Still, there must be some way to rid ourselves of it. I, for one, do not intend to have to suffer through your company twice over.
[Leon that's rude]
no subject
If you say stuff like that with such a straight face, I'm gonna think you aren't joking.
