Of the remaining functions left to test, Jaune decided that the life swap option interested him the most. He'd already seen physical changes after swapping hair with Blake, and while a body or wardrobe swap was certainly a more extreme change than that, he felt it wouldn't exactly be as surprising. The life swap was a completely different story. While he had seen small mental changes after swapping names with Blake, having the entire world see him as a different person would be an interesting without a doubt. Sure, it would make meeting up with Ruby and telling her about the remote a little difficult, since he'd have to convince her he was really Jaune if he didn't swap back first, but he wanted to try it out regardless.
Now it was a matter of deciding who he should swap with. He didn't really have anyone in mind, he just knew he wanted to try out the life swap, and he had already left Blake behind. Perhaps he should just have a walk around and see who he could find. Perhaps one of them would catch his fancy.
As Jaune mulled about the courtyard, he saw a variety of people, both students and faculty, both known to him and unknown. Thanks to the upcoming Vytal Festival many students from other kingdoms were staying here at Beacon for the time being, allowing him plenty of choices. Many of the students walked together with who he assumed to be their teams. That made things a little awkward for Jaune. If he swapped lives with someone amongst their team, he'd immediately be forced to try and act like whoever he swapped with to avoid suspicion, even if he knew nothing about the person he was swapping with. It made swapping with someone who was by themselves a fairly appealing option, as it would give him some time to get used to who he was first, but swapping with someone in a team would let him immediately see whether or not they saw him as the person he swapped with.
While all of this was related to swapping with students, there were also a few teachers around the courtyard, perhaps heading to another class, or perhaps heading back to their office to do whatever it was teachers did when they weren't teaching. While it would be odd swapping with someone a decent amount older than him, and the teachers at Beacon had more responsibilities to take care of than the students, Jaune was already starting to get a few mischievous thoughts. He could just imagine how good of a prank it would be to go see Ruby while he was in a teacher's life, and act like she was in trouble for something. The look on her face would be priceless.
Either way, Jaune was spoiled for choice when it came to who he could swap with. After scanning the crowds, he decided he'd try swapping with... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
