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...

[She shrugs]

"Mine is the 7th. I figured it'd just pass like always. Time is kind of odd here, but, I'll remember to buy you a soda on the 22nd."

[princeofjunes]

Sounds good to me. I'll try and make sure I have the money to do the same for you.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"You don't have to... But thank you."

[princeofjunes]

Hey, no need to thank me. It's the least I can do after all you've done for me.

[She gets a nice big grin.]

Can't have people saying I'm a jerk. Well, more than they already do.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps if you acted like this to everyone they wouldn't say that."

[She nods a little]

"Its almost charming."

[princeofjunes]

Charming? Now there's a first.

As crazy as this sounds, at least this place has more to do than where I came from. I don't get bored, so I stay out of trouble more I think.

Or maybe I'm still just getting settled in. Hard to say.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"That's terrifying to think of actually. This place has almost nothing to do. Generally its up to the residents to find something to pass the time. Luckily some of them are fairly creative."

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I'll probably agree once the "new town I've been abducted to" smell wears off.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"So once the summer hits and you realize you have no air conditioning."

[princeofjunes]

... crap, I didn't even think about that. Guess I better enjoy it while it lasts.

As much as anyone can enjoy dying.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I guess that's the good thing about having half your room taken up by a super computer. It has its own air conditioning unit."

"Maybe I should host a party or something in the garage. Air conditioned video game one. No... Nobody would go for that."

[While she's deadpan, its fairly obvious she's teasing now]

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, that sounds lame. But, as your friend, I'd go. You know. Just to support you.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Large groups make me kind of uncomfortable. I doubt I'd do something like that. Still if you want to play video games and I'm not working, the invitation is open."

[She shrugs a bit]

[princeofjunes]

I think I might need a copy of your work schedule. Except pretend I said that in a way that doesn't sound creepy.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't think there's a way that that doesn't sound creepy. With no school, I'll be working when I'm asked. I think that there was this thing in japan in your time called a phone. They may have it now."

[princeofjunes]

Sorry, I didn't know we were in the era that pre-dated work schedules. Truly these are the dark ages.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"My work schedule rotates heavily around when Scott is being a loud idiot."

[princeofjunes]

Scott? I don't think I've met any Scott yet. I guess he's who I have to thank for this place?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"He lives in my house and occupies the father role. He's loud and kind of immature, but not a bad person."

[princeofjunes]

I know he's not really your dad, but something about him hiring you to walk around and be eye candy is weird.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't run this place. Mr. Japan does. I'm not entirely certain he knows I'm doing this."

[princeofjunes]

Mister... Japan?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Yes. He says he's the embodiment of the nation of Japan, and I have no reason to disbelieve that given what I've seen here."

[princeofjunes]

... I guess of all the questions I have, figuring out how a guy can embody a whole country isn't high on the list.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"That was my thought. Of all the things in this city that there are to loose sleep over, that is a rather inconsequential one."
