left for dead

leo. 18. never have to worry about electricity bills again.

It’s good that I know I can bribe you with food and the pouty face. It’ll come in handy. Sure, sure, whatever you say. Well, there’s always the possibility that we will end up in jail, but if we do the plan correctly, I’ll have the whole world in my hands and no jail for either of us. 

[leo-knox]

You can bribe me with enough food, that's a key word. Your pouty face is debatable. Wait, wait - jail? I'm not cut out for the jail life, teenybopper. I'm gonna need some blueprint plans here so I know I won't end up in the slaughterhouse here. C'mon, a guy like me isn't made for jail, just look at me!

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

I don’t know, I’ll think of something. It might involve food. We both know? I don’t think that’s true at all. Oh, really? I didn’t know. Then again, I don’t know much about what partner-in-crimes do. Yeah, we just take over the world, duh. That’ll come in handy with the guards at the White House.

[leo-knox]

Anything that involves food - more specifically food in my stomach - then I'm in. I know that you know that I'm awesome deep down Macookie, and you just don't wanna admit it. Your plan is sounding less and less valid than I thought it would and now I'm definitely having second thoughts about this world domination thing, especially if it gets me in jail.

A Leo Knox moodboard [1/2]

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

I can if I make sure you don’t talk about it ever. I think it’s more that we’re stuck in a house together, but I’ll humor you and say it’s because you’re awesome. No, no, I’m not that sketchy. I didn’t know there was an oath for this sort of thing. Right? I’ve got one electric manipulating person on my side, I’m sure it won’t be too difficult.

[leo-knox]

And how do you plan on doing that? You don't have to humor me when we both know the real reason is because I'm awesome. Partner-in-crimes have to take oaths all the time, it's like a standard routine thing. Do you have a plan for this world domination thing, being the brains and all? I mean, seriously don't depend on me too much because the most I could probably do is electric zap and tickle someone at this point.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

I don’t think anybody wants that. You did not just say ‘drama llamas’. You’re a dork, why am I friends with you? I swear on all things delicious, I will not throw you under the bus as your partner-in-crime. I guess not. That seems like an appropriate title for you, so deal.

[leo-knox]

Can't always have what you want, m'dear. You're friends with me because I'm awesome and the fact that we might be stuck in a house together may or may not be a factor as well. Alright, I'll take that oath then - you don't have your fingers crossed behind your back, do you? Awesome. Now we seriously need to get you into being the world leader so I can be the pizza king.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

Exactly, which is why you don’t need to tell us all of this again. I’m seriously hurt that you would accuse me of such a thing. Then it wouldn’t be as big as both of them combined, though. Plus, you’d go through your food stash in a week and I’d have to keep refilling it.

[leo-knox]

We might have to rehash it, just in case. Don't need any drama llamas around here, okay. I'm gonna need to know your loyalty in order to accept you as my partner in crime; it's code. Yeah, well refilling my food stash won't be a problem when you're a world dictator, right? Seriously, you could just make me the pizza king and I'll be alright.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

How do you know that?  You’re the brawn of the whole operation, though, so all I need you to do is follow the plan. That’s good enough, I suppose. I’ll have all the best junk food in the world stockpiled, so you can help yourself. Don’t eat all of it, though, because it’s my stash, too.

[leo-knox]

How do you not? We've all taken Sex Ed, okay. How do I know that you won't throw me under the bus, hm? Don't you think that when you're the world dictator you can afford to have two junk food stashes; one for you and one for me?

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

I don’t need my hormones to be trained. Sure, sure, but everybody knows the brains of the operation is the most important part. Okay, that’s somewhat reassuring. Don’t spontaneously get a huge surge of power and fry my brain, alright? You can’t rule the world with me, that’s the point of a dictatorship. I have to keep my assistant fed, right?

[leo-knox]

Everyone needs their hormones trained, okay. Your brain might be somewhat important, but you can't carry out half the schemes without me. No guarantees, although I promise I won't have a moment of psycho killer madness and kill you when this experiment carries out. Fine, I'll let you rule the world so long as I get good food. None of that vegetable rabbit food.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

Oh, god, gross. Why do you do this to me? Great job at pretending to not be all excited that I’m your partner-in-crime. I mean, who wouldn’t be excited? I’m starting to get worried about this. As long as you don’t have enough power to seriously maim me, I’ll go through with it, but only then. That’s how it’ll start, and since you’re my partner-in-crime, you’ll get to be my assistant or something. Honestly, everything would stay the same except I’d get more food,

[leo-knox]

It's for your hormonal control training, Teenybopper. Please, we all know that having Electric Boogaloo as a partner-in-crime is probably the best thing in the world and you're dancing in your head right now. I mean, I don't know how much power I have right now but I probably won't be able to fry anyone anytime soon. Wait, I'm your partner-in-crime, not your assistant. I'd be okay with your world domination so long as I get some food out of it too.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

That is an image I did not need to picture, thank you for that. I think there isn’t a long one, if there is even one, but for the sake of it, I’ll be your partner-in-crime. Okay, I trust you, so don’t go and zap me whenever we do this little experiment. Yes, I’m using my pouty abilities for evil. I’ll rule the world.

[leo-knox]

You're very welcome. Think of that the next time you try to think dirty. Yes! I've got a partner-in-crime! I mean, yeah, that's cool. Okay, I promise I won't zap your trust away. It'll be like a little tickle more than anything, maybe. No guarantees if I can't control it. I knew it - ruling the world and putting up posters with that evil pout everywhere. What an evil dictator you'll be.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

Oh, yeah, it’s definitely not. I’ve never seen a nun beat a kid before, though. Then again, I’ve never seen a nun. Is there a huge line of people just waiting to become your partner-in-crime? I won’t have to be on a waiting list, right? Yeah, sure, that’s what it is. We should, but if you get recharged, don’t zap me or anything. We shall see, Electric Boogaloo, we shall see.

[leo-knox]

Nuns are more aggressive than they'd like you to think. They're ripped underneath those gowns. ..There may or may not be a long lineup but the point is it's better sooner than later, right? No promises - don't give me a reason to zap you and you won't be zapped. There's no need for you to use your powers for evil, Macookie - you've got something sinister planned, don't you?

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

You’d get beat? That sounds pretty harsh. That’s very loyal of you, actually. Maybe I’ll rethink my decision of not becoming your partner-in-crime. It’s obvious why I separated you from the rest of them. That’s not going to put me off from doing it, you know. I just got you to accept my wicked nickname for you.

[leo-knox]

Well, it's not like reading 50 Shades of Grey is acceptable in a church. You better rethink your decision because it's a spot for one and who knows when it'll be taken. Is it because I'm electric and everyone's just hot or cold? It is, isn't it. You'd probably just recharge me or something; we should test that out, actually. That was a one-time thing, so you shouldn't expect anything like that to happen again.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

You win some and you lose some, what can I say? How do I know you wouldn’t throw me under the bus if we ever got caught? I thought that would be pretty obvious. I bet you that I could. You might not feel it as much, but I’ll zap you. Well, I don’t have dimple, so looks like I have to stick with using the pouty face to get you to do things for me.

[leo-knox]

Of all books, though. I'd get beat for reading that kind of stuff. I'm your partner-in-crime and although I may have questionable motives, I would definitely never throw anyone under a bus unless I knew I was going down with them. What's obvious? I feel like I'm missing something important here. Your little zaps would probably just give me more power or something, actually. Hey, your little pout isn't gonna get me to do anything. I've got a resolve of steel.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

At least I was half right. I feel like you’re going to set up something where I accidentally kill somebody and then we’re officially partners in crime. I mostly mean you; everybody else is pretty nice. It’ll be soon, I assure you. Those types of zaps are fun and I can always do them back to you if I have socks on. It just makes me hungry, so I guess it’s a good nickname. Does the pouty face actually work on you?

[leo-knox]

But you were definitely off with the 50 Shades of Grey part. That's the hard way - the easy way is for you to just accept my invitation to be my partner-in-crime. Hey, what makes me separated from everyone else? You can't just zap the electric man, okay. Even with socks and carpet. It goes against physics or something. It might. A little. Not as well as my dimples though.

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

An electricity manipulating dork? How would I commit a crime unknowingly? Right, well, tell me how well your dimples work when you’re convicted of murder. Hopefully the people I’m stuck with will learn to love me, or at least deal with me. One day, I’ll come up with a plan that you won’t see through. Would it be like the zap you get when you have socks on and you rub your feet against carpet? Hey, you’re calling me Macookie and Teenybopper. Now you’re just being rude.

[leo-knox]

I might be an electricity manipulating dork, but definitely not one who reads 50 Shades of Grey. You'd be amazed at how many ways you could play a part in a crime without knowing it, Macookie. By 'people I'm stuck with', would you happen to mean us? One day, but it's definitely not today so I'm safe for now. Is that a zap request? I might be able to do that - no guarantees. Oh please, Macookie's a cute nickname and you know it. Okay, okay I'm sorry Macookie - I'll accept Electric Boogaloo - no more pouty faces. 

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

Really? I genuinely thought you’d be into them. I don’t think I’d willingly commit a crime, though. I’m just saying, if you murder somebody, I don’t think you’ll dimples will prove your innocence. At least now I feel like there a good amount of people to love. Watching you fail in video games is the perfect way to get you, I’m surprised you figured me out. You’d zap me? That’s a rude way to go about things. Friends aren’t supposed to judge each other, Electric Boogaloo. Hey, that nickname has intelligence.

[leo-knox]

Seriously, what do you take me for, woman? You might not do it willingly, but you might do it unknowingly. You never know the magic of the dimple 'till you put them into action, m'dear. It's easier to find people to love than people that love you back. I'm telling you, I can see right through your schemes Macookie. Can't fool me with your innocence anymore. It'd be like a tiny zap; nothing big, I swear. Well, you're making it very hard for me not to judge you with that nickname. Hearing it makes my IQ drop a few points and I can't afford that right now. 

[makoto-jaeger-blog]

I don’t know, whatever you want. I bet you’d be into Twilight, or 50 Shades of Grey. Friends commit crimes with each other? I just don’t believe that your dimples have that sort of power. Yes, true, but I don’t need everybody to love me. Just a few people would suffice. How’d you know that was my plan all along? Well, no, I’d definitely see it coming, with clairvoyance and all.  Yes, Electric Boogaloo. Don’t judge, it took some time to come up with. That’s what I think whenever I hear your puns.

[leo-knox]

I am most definitely not into either of those - seriously, what kind of person do you think I am? Yeah, it's called partner-in-crime, duh. You have no faith in me and it hurts a little, Macookie. A few people to love would be nice, but we don't always get what we want, y'know? I know you too well, teenybopper - you're out to get me and my eyes are peeled. Nah, I'll be too fast for you and zap you before you can even blink those eyes. I'm judging you so hard right now, I might explode. Yeah, but my puns have an element of intelligence in it.
