[UNLIKE CERTAIN DEAD PEOPLE Kashuu's only gone for about a day, which is how long it takes for his vessel to be found and returned to Haru. He's disoriented and upset, but more than that, he's worried about the people he had been stuck with and the city on a whole. Nothing good ever happens when people randomly up and vanish...
So he's calling everyone he knows because OF COURSE HE IS, and Leon will be the recipient of a Concerned Call as soon as he's back in sorts.]
Leon? [HIS NUMBER IS STILL ACTIVE AT LEAST so that's a good sign... No ominous error messages, just a punk who BETTER PICK UP.]
[His number sure is still active--but he answers immediately when Kashuu calls, which probably says that he's pretty aware of how all of this went already. He's been sitting here waiting for people to come back,but Kashuu...]
Are you injured? [He'll just...cut straight to the point here.]
[One good thing, at least, even if he hates that "well at least this guy wasn't kidnapped and mauled and murdered!" is a good thing and a relief here.]
Mm, yeah. A bunch of us got dumped into weird places, but I still don't know how many or where we were.
[Info-gathering is pretty slow going when so many people are still DEAD.]
[Punk Leons should leave the unsaid things unsaid...!]
Mm... Well, a bunch of us were pushed into this weird basement? And there was a camera and it was pretty freaky, like major voyeur vibes and stuff. We found a lot of super high-tech stuff and- [CHUYA BLEW HIMSELF UP LIKE A MORON.] -an explosion went off so we got stuck inside? There was another robot that really liked Dave's hair! Then I touched an orb and went away.
Um... Kinda? Like, I've heard it's possible but it's never actually happened to me before, and normally people can only do that kind of stuff if they have like... Seals or some sort of binding powers or something.
[Being overwhelmed to the point of demanifestation was a new refreshing experience! Or maybe just new and terrifying and then really, really irritating.]
[So it was a new, shitty experience!!! Leon's quiet for a moment, but it's not because of what Kashuu said so much as because he has worried Swordian babbling at his side!!!
So after a moment, he just sighs.]
... Chal wishes to know if you truly are fine, and how you are feeling.
[Wow, Leon... Was that really so hard!! Kashuu straight-up laughs because he's a punk even after being stuck in a tree for a day.]
Tell him I said thanks! That's really sweet of him to ask.
[The care and concern of a fellow sword makes his little steel heart go dokidoki. Especially because he doesn't have to deal with the tsun denial of CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE named Leon...]
[THIS IS TRULY INCREDIBLE. A modern wonder of their time... The wild emotionally stunted pink-caped punk in the wilds.]
I wish you could just listen to yourself talk sometimes, but you'd probably just agree with all the ridiculous stuff you say. I mean, really... You said "cheerful" like you've been living under a rock for sixty years.

So he's calling everyone he knows because OF COURSE HE IS, and Leon will be the recipient of a Concerned Call as soon as he's back in sorts.]
Leon? [HIS NUMBER IS STILL ACTIVE AT LEAST so that's a good sign... No ominous error messages, just a punk who BETTER PICK UP.]
no subject
Are you injured? [He'll just...cut straight to the point here.]
no subject
Nope. [And then:] You're okay, too?
[Because Leon is so Leon that it's hard to tell if he was here the whole time, or if he just survived and has already regained his mental footing.]
no subject
[So that's +1 to the "not sucked into interlude shenanigans" counter.]
But I've heard of strange things happening. [So... Kashuu?]
no subject
Mm, yeah. A bunch of us got dumped into weird places, but I still don't know how many or where we were.
[Info-gathering is pretty slow going when so many people are still DEAD.]
no subject
Are you all right?
[A beat.]
...N-not that I am concerned, but--!
no subject
I am, I am! Promise. I got pretty lucky, so you don't need to worry.
[Like the tsuntsun he is...]
no subject
Keep your incorrect assumptions to yourself! [HMPH.] ... What does "pretty lucky" consist of, anyway? [What happened....]
no subject
I didn't die. [THAT'S PRETTY LUCKY.] I didn't even get banged up or sick or hurt, really.
[His existence was just briefly overridden and he got stuck into a tree like a spork into some old meatloaf NO BIG.]
no subject
Very well then. What did happen, then?
no subject
Mm... Well, a bunch of us were pushed into this weird basement? And there was a camera and it was pretty freaky, like major voyeur vibes and stuff. We found a lot of super high-tech stuff and- [CHUYA BLEW HIMSELF UP LIKE A MORON.] -an explosion went off so we got stuck inside? There was another robot that really liked Dave's hair! Then I touched an orb and went away.
[Why.]
no subject
You were kidnapped into this?
[At least...Kashuu didn't go on purpose??]
... What do you mean you "went away"?
no subject
I mean I went away. [Helpful.] Like... Whatever that was, it was way bigger and stronger than me, so I got pushed back into my vessel.
no subject
That can happen to you? You can be forced back into your sword vessel?
no subject
[Being overwhelmed to the point of demanifestation was a new refreshing experience! Or maybe just new and terrifying and then really, really irritating.]
no subject
So after a moment, he just sighs.]
... Chal wishes to know if you truly are fine, and how you are feeling.
[Since Chal does not have hands or a phone.]
no subject
Tell him he doesn't need to worry! I'm totally okay and I feel fine now. It was just a little, like... disorienting when I first woke up.
[In a tree in the park surrounded by birds instead of in the snuff dungeon basement... Talk about whiplash.]
no subject
And tries.
To relay Chal's message back.
It takes him like three false starts.]
He...says that--
[...]
Rather, he simply--
[UGH.]
He is relieved you are unharmed.
no subject
Tell him I said thanks! That's really sweet of him to ask.
[The care and concern of a fellow sword makes his little steel heart go dokidoki. Especially because he doesn't have to deal with the tsun denial of CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE named Leon...]
no subject
Ugh.]
You both are far too sentimental.
[Just saying!!!
(He'll tell him. Later, in private.)]
None of this has any meaning whatsoever.
no subject
Don't you ever get tired of being so cranky and grumpy all the time? Like, doesn't it make you feel old?
[Kashuu asking the hard-hitting questions.]
no subject
... No.
[Just.
No.]
I'm not grumpy. I'm acting perfectly reasonably for the situation.
[He...sincerely believes this, that's what's sad.]
no subject
The fact that you can say that stuff with a straight face almost makes me wanna cry.
[When will someone help Leon learn how to people better? When will this miracle occur.]
no subject
[Leon does not agree with your so-called normalcy standards!!!!]
There is no reason to be so... cheerful.
[How can one person be so emotionally stunted, we just don't know.]
no subject
I wish you could just listen to yourself talk sometimes, but you'd probably just agree with all the ridiculous stuff you say. I mean, really... You said "cheerful" like you've been living under a rock for sixty years.
[LIKE A GROUCHY MOUNTAIN MAN.]
