@fantasiasm Surprise, surprise! There’s a letter! It’s covered in several stickers, but the one that’s the first to catch your eye is this one:

There’s some words below; “Leo! I found you a sticker you can wear. And then you can look at it. And then you know your name! I’m smart, aren’t I? I’ll still remind you anyway. Don’t worry! Have a nice day!” The letter is signed by Yumihiko.

It’s all fine and dandy that this helps him remember his own name... but who is Yumihiko?!

Oh, regardless, he will wear it with pride. Rawr!

 Honestly, that reach was quite impressive. The Professor was rather the tall person, so for the boy to hop up and sling his arm around his shoulder, he must have some long arms, or something.

 “Well, good evening to you, sir!” The excitement was somewhat infectious, even to someone as calm as Layton! “Not to worry - basically, we must choose one of many quests to complete for, as you say, ‘treasure’. Perhaps then we may investigate this ‘boat’ endeavour, hm? Regardless, I believe this young lady held onto the envelopes for us, did you not?”

she can’t help but giggle at the excitement and enthusiasm her two new partners in crime were giving off— she’s glad her group seems to be the cheerful sort.
oh, right! ❞ quickly, kotone brings the small box to everyone’s attention, opening it up at record setting speeds. ❝ —uhm, i’m not too sure what everyone wants to do, and i also think that we should pick one based off of what fits all our skill sets, y’know? so we should probably think about this pretty hard! ❞

A fair point indeed! Leo was probably hanging off Layton like some little monkey, but he could jump pretty high for the squirt that he was, so that's fine and dandy as long as the professor doesn't mind all that much.

He eventually gets off though, if only to peer with excitement at the box, but going blank at the mention of skill sets. "Won't we have to go through every single envelope to read them~?" He muses, "Let’s leave it up to fate!" Leo then decides on his own in three seconds flat, continuing.

"I vote we pick a random one, and set sail as quick as possible, onto vast adventures and seas of inspiration -- our landmark doesn't matter, as long as the destination has some booty!"

“Heee~eey~!” And with pretty much no regard to the physical comfort of other two in the group, Leo encases them both in some sort of group hug, arms hanging off both their shoulders. “I have no idea what you guys wanna do, and I’ve forgotten half the yabba-jabba we were supposed to know for doing this, but I think we’re going treasure hunting, so it’s time to set sail!”

As if hit by inspiration, he gasps. “Let’s get a boat!”

“The illuminatic dorito of my dreams!” At least he swears he had a dream like that once, or maybe he was awake. “But that’s not three words, sooo--!”

“Triangular peter pan!” He decides. “Sprinkle your pixie dust on me! Fly me to the moon!”

“I’m not a hobo!” Phoenix objects, whining a little at the accusation. “I’m actually a lawyer. I just… happen to look like this.”
But Leo is quick to move on, so said lawyer decides it’s not worth arguing his point. If Leo wants to satisfy his own needs by helping Phoenix get a new suit, then why not accept the offer? Surely, the boy has some kind of good taste in clothes. Well, he hopes so.

“U… Ucchu…?”
The words come out in utter confusion. Maybe Leo is an alien. Yeah, that would make sense. Or just a teenager. Or both. Phoenix doesn’t understand either of them.

“....”

Okay, so, Leo never did have a great run in with the police back home, and he certainly had issues with people copying his songs and lawyers had to come into play, but he'd never actually had to deal with a lawyer before. Somehow, given his past record, this seemed to incite some sort of fight or flight instinct in him, and he'd already fought him.

Assaulted, really, but maybe Nixxy would sue him? He didn't look like he'd sue him, but you always had to watch the quiet ones! They were either nasty, or Nasty.

(Then again, Nixxy had ucchu’d, and good people ucchu’d. This was difficult.)

"Great!" He feigns normalcy, all while he starts backing up. Sure, Leo isn't afraid of this guy who got beat up by a sheep, and he could probably take him on just fine himself despite the difference in height, but you know, chances are, he'd just get himself in trouble. "I'll bug you about it later, because I got places to go! Geniuses don't get by being geniuses by not doing genius things, you know, all that stuff."

This is where the stranger had made a grave mistake. He would surely come to regret bringing Hajime’s ahoge into this mess, because Hajime too could play this game. 
“You…” Hajime said in a hushed yet strong voice. He took a step closer, making the difference in their height all the more apparent. “You have said too much, realized too much. As the KING of head-hook pirates, I will not stand for this.”
Image
Hajime’s ahoge looked all the more dangerous now that Hajime was towering over the stranger. Surely this crazy talk must be enough to make the other snap out of it? Nobody could keep up an act for so long. If the stranger wouldn’t be rolling on the floor because Hajime had actually gone along with his little game, than Hajime didn’t know what would work. 

This is the second time that Leo has encouraged someone (somehow) to go along with his fantasies, and this is also the second time that someone has threatened him in said fantasies. His life seems to just always be on the line in his head, which is probably something a therapist would have a field day with. Regardless of the difference in height, which reduces him to an aggravated and angry chihuahua rather than an intimidated puppy in the face of a wolf, he remains stubborn.

Image

"I already knew too much to begin with, you sorry excuse for a coat hanger!" Leo barks in defense, taking a step back to decrease both proximity and damage to his ego where vertical issues are concerned. "What're you gonna do with that ahoge, huh!? Gonna hit me? Better make it count. Better make it hurt. Better kill me in one shot!"

Hajime doesn’t stand a chance against this temporary identity as a pirate fighter that Leo has taken on until he figures out who he is.

Tackling Izumi was just uncalled for. In fact, any kind of roughhousing involving Izumi Sena is completely unnecessary and inappropriate to a T. He’s a model who should look nothing less than his best at all times (unlike certain other people who either can’t dress themselves properly or forget to shower unless reminded to do so… or, in truly terrible and cringeworthy cases, both), so this whole obnoxious-orange-gremlin-pushing-him-into-a-fountain-and-ruining-everything business was definitely going to make Izumi even more whiny and bitchy the moment he registers everything that happened within that ten second window—which is now.
image
“I,” he starts, “am going to kill you.”
Which was an empty threat for now—probably!—since Izumi is more concerned about getting himself out of this fountain as soon as possible (even though it’s already too late to save his clothes) because while his idol profile may have waterholes listed as his likes, and while his name translates into fountain when put into Google Translate, there’s a difference between observing a pretty fountain and physically being in a fountain.
He tries to shove Leo’s face away to create some personal space for the two of them (but mostly for himself), though who knows how much he manages to actually accomplish. “I can’t believe you just did that—actually, that’s a lie, I can, but that just makes things worse. You’re so annoying. Are you sacrificing me to imaginary fairies for an imaginary skateboard in the glorious moment of your temper tantrum? Wow! Wow. Wooow.”

Sena, you silly goose. Inappropriate ends with an E, not a T, but let's not break narrative just to sass you in some way.

So, death threats aside and shoving aside, Leo's enthusiasm for having lovingly tackled his right hand unitmate into the fountain doesn't sway at all, regardless of all the water pooling from the fountain onto the floor, coins crinkling and crying as they're shoved more harshly than Izumi was ever. He heartily drops himself off the idol, flipping into the water on his knees and looking pretty pleased with himself for someone who quite frankly looks like a drowned rat. His bangs are a mess, his hair tie is pretty much gone, abandoned in the tussle and probably floating around aimlessly somewhere, and he's soaked, but as if that's going to dampen his loudness.

image

"If only I could!" He declared, grinning while beginning to squeeze the liquid from his hoodie, even though he's still in the water and doesn't seem all too vexed about leaving anytime soon. "Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that you're here, but I was hoping that I'd at least have a skateboard to shred some streets to celebrate your arrival! ♪ Now you're here, I'm still skateboardless, and this is pretty much revenge~"

But unfortunately, the state of the landmark doesn't change, and he's forced to accept that his just-now-decided sacrifice was falling through as quickly as his intention to retrieve a skateboard in the first place. A shame, honestly. "Anyway, what're you doing here, Sena?"

“There is a weather channel for a reason, Leader,” Tsukasa says, although truth be told, he hadn’t checked his television this morning, either. He doesn’t push Leo away again, but he does shift closer to his edge of the bench, trying to be subtle about it. Being around Leo for so long already had taught him that personal space is something that he cannot have often. Still… he likes to try to believe he can. 
“I do not want to do that, but I was making a point… I am not that cold, anyway.” That’s a lie, but Leo doesn’t have to know that. Tsukasa isn’t obviously shivering. He looks out at the rain, watching it plop against the leaves of the surrounding plants.
Love… He doesn’t get how Leo can use that word so liberally! Then again, he did have a tighter upbringing than a lot of the other students at Yumenosaki, but knowing that much couldn’t stop him from feeling surprised every time. 
“But they do not exist,” he finally says with a sigh. “It is simply lore. The weird sheep exist, yes, but even a strange place like this would have its own made-up stories… It is unfortunate that you had to find out this way, but your trip is a lost cause.”

Anyone who assumed Leo Tsukinaga sat down in front of a television long enough to make it to the advertisements that showcased the weather was as big of an idiot as he was, but like, whatever. He doesn't bother gracing it with a response, because to do so would sort of be insulting himself.

And he chooses to simply ignore Tsukasa's lies in favor of believing his own interpretations, which is obviously the truth, and grows seemingly more hotheaded over the allegations of falseness in fairies. How dare a non-believer say it out loud like that! At this rate, he was asking for Tinkerbell to die!

Image

"Shhh!" Leo groans and elbows him, huddling up more in his hoodie when even just that movement allows the cool air to breathe against his neck. Curse his weakness to the cold. "My trip isn't the lost cause, you are! Fairies are definitely real - just because you haven't seen one doesn't give you the right to deny their existence!"

Oh. Oh wow. Phoenix never knew that this kind of assurance could do wonders to his own confidence. He smiles, letting the teen drag him up and gets to his feet again. And he laughs, if only at the other’s remarks.

“It’s okay!” He finally blurts. The lawyer hastily grabs his jacket from the ground and dusts it off. Then he continues speaking. “My suit is fine. Let’s focus on your phone first– and.. uh. I’m not sure if we should take Shrek along.”
He thinks about it a little more.
“Doesn’t he live under this bridge? We can come back with food to feed him, but he looks well fed already…”

"Your suit sucks! If I'm getting a new phone, you're at least getting something that doesn't make you look like a hobo, even if you are one!" Leo declares, and although he doesn't really care if anyone sees him walking around with someone of this class, he still feels bad for the poor sap! Penniless (he could relate), running from a sheep, covered in slobber of said sheep... he couldn't turn away a man in need!

Probably.

"I guess so..." Disdainfully, he looks towards Shrek, who is already getting up and looking with pleading, beady eyes towards his bridge, as if to ask permission to go back. Leo is sure he isn't actually doing so, but the thought is nice. "Okay, Shrek! I don't speak sheep but I know the language of the universe and aliens, so maybe we can find a common ground! Say it with me too, Nixxy!"
