[For threads continued from here and elsewhere in the log!]

Naoto

[niceguypose]

[ooc: Continued from here!]

[He operates under his own laws

But Rock Lee is distracted from the fighting for the moment as he turns to witness Naoto's summoning.]

Ah! Naoto-san, is that a Persona?! [He cannot tell for sure, but it looks like the summonings he's seen Yu and Rise do, and he knows that she knows them, so it seems to add up!] Very cool!

[truedetective]

Yes, it is! [She shouts, turning back to look at him over her shoulder. That's another person who knows about Personas. Then again, she supposes there's really no reason that the others would have needed to keep it secret here, too... but people so openly recognizing them is still a little odd.] But may I suggest we hold off on the observations until we're done here? [Since there are still one or two more police bots not caught in her blast.]

[niceguypose]

You are right! [Lee nods in determination.] Ah... Please, Naoto-san, leave this to me!

[He then dashes at one robot, quickly knocking it off balance with several of his attacks. But before he could do anything damaging, the other robot tases him from behind.]

Ack!! [And with him stunned for a moment, it proceeds to quickly grab him.]

[truedetective]

Lee-san! [Naoto shouts in surprise as he's tased and grabbed. It's almost surprising that he seems... physically vulnerable. She takes careful aim with her revolver, but his head is in the way of the sensor she'd be aiming for.] Is there any way you can move? I can't fire without risking hitting you!

[niceguypose]

[I guess that there's a lot revolving around this action.]

Y-yes, I can! Ah...

[Rock Lee struggles against the robot's hold, but it's hard now that he's caught in the vicegrip. Still, he manages to duck his head down!]

Ruby

[niceguypose]

[ooc: continued from here!]

Ack! [He shrinks as Ruby brings that up.]

W-well, we can find ways... around that! What if we find booths or stalls to use? Then... we can each get into a different one, and we can throw our clothes between us with- without having to see each other!

[undaunts]

[..... This is

so complicated.

But on the other hand... Ruby's Ruby, so--]

You know, that might work!

Let's give it a try, Lee! I hope your aim is good.

[niceguypose]

Yosh! My aim is very keen! Now, we just need to find an area that suits those needs! [Rock Lee starts moving and keeping his eyes open!]

[undaunts]

Hey, how about over there?

[She points over to a couple of outside food stands.]

That should work, right...? I bet we could toss them to each other real quick and stay hidden that way!

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee stops as she points them out and glances for a moment before he nods.]

Yes... That could work perfectly, Ruby-san! I will choose this vegetable stand! [He runs right over to the stand and starts to take cover!]

[undaunts]

And I choose... this other stand over here! Yeah!

[It's a robot refuel stand, Ruby.

Either way, she's flinging herself behind it, and then a few moments later...

Green clothing is being flung at high speeds towards Rock Lee.]

[niceguypose]

Ack! [Rock Lee is caught off guard while in the middle of changing, but he lets the jumpsuit drop to the floor and grins at it.]

Well done, Ruby-san! Thank you very much! [Lee has been taking his time because you gotta be careful with girl's clothes! But soon, he's throwing her nearly folded outfit back towards her station.]

Here!!

[undaunts]

[There's a startled squeak, and then a quiet--]

He folded them?

[And then Ruby's a bit louder.]

Thaaaaanks!

[Anyway, back to flinging her clothing on, and then, hair in disarray, she steps out from behind the stand.]

...Phew. That was close and dad probably wouldn't approve.

[niceguypose]

You are welcome!

[Lee then quickly puts on his jumpsuit in a manner not unlike a magical girl sequence. Luckily her eyes are spared from the sight. Lee then flips out of the stand, scattering cabbages everywhere as he comes to a landing nearby.]

We did it!! [After a pause, he frowns and adds sheepishly.] If I ever meet with your father, I promise to apologize to him a hundred times over!

[undaunts]

Please don't.

Then we'd have to tell him what happened. He wouldn't like it.

Anyway! [Ruby's just... tucking at her cloak, adjusting it and nodding.]

Your clothes are pretty comfy, Lee! Is that a weird thing to say.

[niceguypose]

Ah...! If you insist, I shall keep that a secret!

[He smiles as he casually goes through some stretches.]

No, I do not think that is odd at all, Ruby-san! Your hood was very comfortable as well!

[undaunts]

I think so too! It's kinda cool, right? Having a dramatic hood, I mean.

[Her true motivations come to light...!]

[niceguypose]

Yes, it is very cool! [He smiles and gives a thumbs up in approval. Of course, this is the same person who thinks that jumpsuits and bowlcuts are cool.]

The next time I see Gai-Sensei, I have to ask him what he thinks about adding cool hoods to our outfits!

[undaunts]

Yeaaaaaah! Then we could match and be twins!

[Why are they so eager over something like this...]

Wouldn't that be fun? People could get us mixed up! [No they won't, Ruby]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee laughs lightly at that.]

Ah... That's right! We even both have dark hair! [He tugs on one of his hairs, as if completely accepting their hair being identical based on color alone.] I would be honored to match with you, Ruby-san! And... ah... It would be nice to engage in light-hearted pranks for a change! I am sure that it would be a very delightful time in our youths!

[undaunts]

...Yeah! Exactly that, for sure!

[Thanks, Ruby.]

Sorta like exchanging places and tricking people into thinking we're each other?

[niceguypose]

[Lee eagerly nods.]

Yes, something like that! I do not like to deceive others... [Isn't e a ninja.] ...but it may be acceptable when it is in the name of light-hearted fun!

[undaunts]

[...wait yeah]

Aren't you a ninja though?

[Squiiiiint]

[niceguypose]

Yes, that is correct! ...Ah, but I very much prefer the aspect of being a ninja which involves training and fighting to protect what is precious to me!
