Track 2: Well, this is awkward.

ACTION: THAT CAFE WHERE RURI WORKS

[Ever since waking up in his bed safe and sound, Yosuke has been more than confused. How can death really not matter? What can they do, when the town can turn people against each other so easily? Did he really take a bullet for Chie?

Wracked by confusion and uncertainty, Yosuke isn't sure where to turn. Souji is the obvious choice, but with Chie involved... he needs a little time before he seeks out his partner. Ultimately, he decides that the best course of action is to try and take his mind off of things for a while.

So, making good on his promise, he wanders the city until he finds what he thinks is the cafe Ruri told him about and walks in the door.]

Lets see, I think this is the place...

"I'm sure there are, you probably just aren't looking in the right places. Have you considered trolling the top secret government think tanks for dates?"

[princeofjunes]

... well, not until right this second. I guess I'll get on that when I get back.

"Or you know, maybe video arcades I guess. I liked going to those when I could."

[princeofjunes]

[He laughs a little, kicking back in his chair.]

If only. The town I live in now is so small that we barely have a department store, let alone a video arcade.

"Well, you are close to a city, right? I mean Japan isn't terribly big and your name is Japanese."

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I guess, but I don't get a lot of time to really get away. Between school and work, I'm surprised I get much time to myself at all.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"What about at school then? Maybe there's a computer lab?"

[princeofjunes]

Nope, I wish. There's only a handful that I've seen around school - the teachers get them, and I think there might be one in the A/V room.

Sorry Ruri, looks like you're the only cute gamer I'll get to meet.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"In this town? Hardly, and I'm not terribly cute."

[princeofjunes]

Mmm, I don't know. I'm pretty sure you're cute.

[Flirting: the best way to take your mind off your problems!]

"You would be the first person to say that who wasn't trying to flatter me into giving them something then."

[princeofjunes]

That's probably because I'm just better than everyone else.

"Either that or you wouldn't believe me if I said that I was a princess that stands to inherit over a billion Euros."

[She says that with her usual deadpan, but something in her eyes glimmers slightly]

[princeofjunes]

[He's a bit taken back, but he tries to keep up a cool front at least.]

I don't know, aren't princesses supposed to be snobby and look down on regular guys like me?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I never said I was very good at being one."

[princeofjunes]

Just to review, you're a rich princess genius in the military who is cute and also enjoys video games.

Ruri, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to seduce me.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't want to get in between you and your girlfriend from home."

[princeofjunes]

[WHY, RURI. HE WAS DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB AT FORGETTING. All that flustering comes back in a second.]

She- she's not my girlfriend! We're just friends, really!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"...Does she have a name?"

[princeofjunes]

Seriously, there's no one to have a name. If I had a girlfriend, I'd be the first one to brag about it.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well what is your just friend's name then?"

[Ruri peers at him, smiling slightly]

[princeofjunes]

[He gives a small sigh.]

Didn't we already talk about this? Her name is Chie, and she's not my girlfriend. Then I called you cute, and somehow we got back to here.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, you can't expect a girl to spend all her time on the defensive. If you'd like I can probably arrange a private table for you two some time."

[princeofjunes]

Are you kidding? She'd probably call me a creep for coming to a cafe like this. She'd say I was just staring at the girls the whole time.
