APPARENTLY?

WHY AM I IN YOUR BODY

IDK BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED TO ME AND I WANT IT TO STOP

ARE YOU IN MY BODY, DID WE JUST SWITCH?

I’M IN YOUR APARTMENT AND EVERYTHING.

YES, I AM. YES, WE DID.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE POP-UPS GO AWAY?

This is hard to explain. Focus your eyes past the window, like a spot on the wall, it'll figure out your intention and get out of the way. If you just do something else instead of stopping to look at it every time something changes, it's the best way to deal with it.

[Tatsuo is SLOWLY starting to calm down. A little.]

So it's kind of reading my mind? I think I get what you mean though. Like looking through the rain on my helmet visor.

I can try to get out there to help you out..

Uh.

...Your dog is staring at me.

Not the 'feed me' stare, like he's trying to figure out what is wrong.

Yeah... the animals kind kind of tell.

Just... introduce yourself. And I should probably explain myself to Daisuke...

That big pillow on the bed is his. Don't bother trying to move it. Leave the little ramps and blocks by the couch and bed so that he can get up on them. His food is in the cabinet by his bowl.

[There is a bit of a gap of time before he sends another reply. He is holding out his hand and waiting for the pup to accept him before he tries anything.]

Okay. Maybe. Not gonna bite me.

Got it.

Yeah, Yujirou isn't bothered by much, and I don't think Matt had any problems with him.

Good dog. Okay. If I can find his stuff, I'll take him out for a walk before I head towards you.

Hikari's probably going to wake up before I can get there, though.

Leash is in the drawer nearest the door. Food's in the cupboard directly below. Don't let him guilt you into giving him seconds. But if he's a very good boy there's treats down there too.

Remind me her schedule again?

[Let's talk about Togusa's willpower in saying no to dogs, when Daisuke has absolutely free run of his apartment.]

Got it.

...How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Right, schedule. She's got day-camp at the rec center today. Kind of a loose summer camp, get used to the idea of being away from home for kindergarten thing? Carpool will get her, but you'll have to pick her up at 3:00.

[look, Tatsuo doesn't have that much will power either, but his vet has impressed on him the importance of keeping Yujirou's diet as healthy as possible since he's a senior doggy.]

A perfectly reasonable number.

[omg since in this AU he didn't lose them in an apartment fire LOL]

Okay. Day-camp. I can do that. What time does the carpool come?

[Looking for something that is not athletic shoes, he has been gravitating away from those.]

9-ish? If you've got to take off early, she'll be okay.

[Who's a good boy. Yes you are. Gooood dog.]

Er. That is. What do you have going on today, and what should I be going to?

Well, I wasn't really planning on going anywhere. So I'll be able to see her off.

Uh, I was going to go school shopping, and then tonight I have the Adult Beginner's class. But if you want to call the dojo and claim I've gotten food poisoning...

[There's another really long pause, while Togusa is considering what to do. It's Tatsuo's life, and they don't know how long this is going to last.]

Aren't you pushing for rank testing soon, though? Thought you were being evaluated at the moment.

Yeah, I am. But are you up for teaching twenties teenagers and adults?

We don't know how long this will last. So, which is the worse outcome for you? Missing class entirely, or teaching a few classes that seem to be a review of basics?

Alright, alright. As usual you make a sensible argument. I leave my students in your hands. Feel free to ask one of the more experienced students to lead the warm-ups. And at least if you're still in my body tomorrow night, you pretty much just have to let Ogawa-sensei toss you around a bit.

I won't mess this up for you, I promise. A hundred falls is a fair price so that nobody notices anything is wrong.

[Haaaaha, so he says now...]

Speaking of messing things up. Are there any pressing cases you're working on? Because while I'm fairly confident I can do a passable job at Officer Togusa, I have some moral qualms over masquerading as you at work.

The vast majority of the paperwork in my office right now is on Retrospec. In theory, you should be able to hole up in there and nobody'll bother you. I haven't been assigned anything specifically my own.

Okay. I can manage that. First things first, getting Hikari off to day-camp. I better go make her breakfast.
