body swap - senku, gen, kohaku, ryusui

REQUEST: Hi, an interesting/unusual request. A body-swap AU with Dr. Stone characters and their s/o (or friend, platonically I mean)? How would they react and try to reverse it?

SENKU ISHIGAMI:

-He's bordering on insane disgust and fear and also immense enthusiasm and curiosity to figure out how such an insane phenomenon exists and took place.

-At first, he's freaked out. Rightfully. Confused out of his mind, probably something that happens just as suddenly as the petrification.

-So he has his little moment of confusion at first where he's asking all the standard questions, most likely in his mind: What's happening? How did this happen? Why do I look like this? What happened to my body? Am I dreaming? Ow, that felt real. 

-Once he runs into you wearing his body, he's even more freaked out. Now he's thinking some more. 

-For the most part, then, he's determined to come up with some kind of answer as to how the swap took place and how he can reverse it. He handles it scientifically, of course. Coming up with hypotheses, running whatever tests he can think of, monitoring your states. 

-He might consult various sources, such as textbooks, similar experiments conducted in the past and theories on such a phenomenon, and may even head into fiction territory for ideas. 

-He might make a couple of comparisons to media he likes, similarly to how he does with video games. 

-But overall, he does NOT find the experience fun. The challenge, sure, the mystery, exciting. But don't you dare try anything dumb while you're in his body or he'll lose it.

-Will spend most of his time exhausted and yelling at you if you are the type to goof around in such a situation. If not, he'll probably urge you to help him in his efforts to reverse such a swap and ask you to cooperate in any sort of monitoring. 

-Depending on how long it takes to reverse, also, he feels SUPER uncomfortable being addressed with your name and treated as if he were someone else. And he also feels super weird watching people come up to you while meaning to talk to him. 

-If it were pre petrification, he'd also probably hate going through the pain of pretending to be you in order to prevent suspicion on how weirdly supernatural this was and to avoid any other obstacles. But if it were post, he'd have no qualms telling people about it, and even consults them for help.

GEN ASAGIRI:

-He's flustered about the whole ordeal to say the least. 

-He's the one the most worked up about the whole thing, never entirely relaxed the entire time he's preoccupied in your body. 

-He doesn't really know what to do with himself. He can't even find it within himself to be sleazy; the whole thing was another level of absurd. (And seeing his own face watch in disgust was also a whole other level of embarrassing).

-Like Senku, he's obviously freaked out, but unlike Senku, he spends more time being horrified than actually thinking of the cause behind the phenomenon.

-You have to take a good while to actually calm him before either of you can progress to actually coming up with theories on how such a thing could have happened, but being consoled by an out of character version of himself just puts Gen even more on edge.

-Once you manage to move past the initial shock, however, Gen does his best to try to think alongside you in what could have caused the swap and what could reverse it.

-But then...oh, who was he kidding? He's no medical man, no scientist, what can he do? So he has these moments of helplessness and panic in waves. (Which only end up agitating you further, causing you to cry out to "do something, magic man!" and it ends up stressing him out even further).

-The two of you are truly lucky if you have the Kingdom of Science by your side at this point, because while Gen can and will hypothesise what happened, he doesn't really have the means of testing them. So while he's still worried, he undergoes all the questioning and experiments Senku and the others have for him about the swap. Anything to have him back in his own body.

KOHAKU:

-Before meeting Senku and getting involved with modern science shenanigans so heavily, she'd probably believe the phenomenon was some kind of ailment or sorcery. 

-Which, can you blame her?

-Also really freaked out by the event. Maybe not as expressive as Senku or Gen would be about it, but she's definitely weirded out to see what should be herself staring back at her. 

-First thing she thinks of doing to reverse the swap is to try scratching your skin off, clawing at it, or doing something physical to shed the skin and return to hers. But upon your panic (and seeing how it doesn't really do anything), she eventually stops.

-Her train of thought then leads her to believe that an evil force is at work, and is particularly hostile towards the two of you. If that's the case, she's doing her best to hunt a physical foe to defeat.(She may even ask Kinro and Ginro to be on guard just in case it returns and decides to curse someone else).

-If both are in vain, however, she'll possibly try consulting Ruri or one of the village elders to see if they have any experience with the phenomenon, or if it's mentioned in any of the 100 tales to gain some further insight on how to reverse the swap.

-If the Kingdom of Science has been established by this point, however, she works closely with Senku and the rest of the science team to figure out what happened. She may not be able to handle too many technicalities, but she'll gladly cooperate with any trials to get to the bottom of what happened.Feels weird seeing herself act so uncharacteristically, however, and so does everyone else. 

-But there was also something strangely fun about being in someone else's body. She might joke around a little bit by playfully mocking your mannerisms, just a little bit. All in good fun. 

-Overall, she has complete trust in the science team to figure it out, so she's not too stressed. Which just leads her to be surprisingly chill about the ordeal.

RYUSUI NANAMI:

-Arguably the most chill about such an event. Maybe even a bit too chill, similarly to Kohaku. 

-Of course, he panicked about it. And surprised. Anyone would be. He'll go through the same song and dance Senku did with all his questions, and when he finds you, he'll also interrogate and bombard you with questions about what you think happened and if you felt or experienced anything strange at all.

-Once the panic dies down, however, he's getting to work trying to figure out how to reverse such an event. I can't tell whether he'd be similar to Senku pre petrification in hiding it, or if he's just kind of shameless. Post pre-petrification, however, he also doesn't mind confiding in the others about the phenomenon and asks the science team to help reverse it (especially for your sake, if he notices any high anxiety on your end).

-Besides not doing much else differently from the others with undergoing tests and questioning (and maybe taking on a more active part in figuring out a solution), he finds the experience also somewhat exciting with how nonsensical it was. He's having some sort of fun experiencing life through your senses, your own eyes and ears and mouth. 

-Though he undoubtedly misses his own body, and wants it back just as eagerly as you may want it. He reassures you in a boisterous tone that you have nothing to worry about, and the ordeal will be resolved quickly. Though in the meantime, he tells you, you should cherish the opportunity to live as such a handsome dude such as himself!
