Track 03: Happy Birthday, Yosuke

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: 947 Beulah St - Morning (Housemate, anyone passing by who wants to check out the commotion)

[It hadn't exactly been a year since his last birthday, but today was June 22nd. He wasn't planning on making his birthday a big deal, but apparently the town had other plans - like having him wake up in yet another strange house. This time, though, there was a woman in his bed. Next to him. One that he had children with, if the photos in the room were to be believed. Some might call having a completely subservient woman in your bed a godsend - Yosuke was nearly as freaked out as his first day in the town. Not even bothering to change out of his pajamas, he scrambled from the bed and out of the room.

Which brings us to the current time - a confused Yosuke, sitting on the curb in front of his brand new house, trying to get a hold on his brand new adult life.

Happy 18th Birthday, Yosuke. Welcome to adulthood.]

Okay, calm down. That zombie... 'wife' probably didn't do anything to me. Probably.

[He groans]

What a way to start a birthday.

PHONE - Early Afternoon - Filtered from Drones

So... this hasn't exactly been a normal day, but I guess there's not much I can do about it.

Anyone know a good place for a party? Might as well try and make today not suck somehow.

Then you should be fine, as long as you don't tick off your zombie mom. Not much I can do there.

[roadroller]

Well, I've dealt with her this long, so I'll be fine on that front. ♪

[princeofjunes]

Okay, as long as you're sure. I mean, I know we're not actually family, but I'm not crazy about seeing you get in trouble with the drones.

1/2

[roadroller]

[That's sweet, but...]

Hehe. What kind of trouble do you expect? All they do is half-assed scolding sometimes. ♪

[roadroller]

[however, a serious thought soon occurs.]

Oh, but ... If I turn into a drone myself, I've set up some counter measures. My files are backed up on that computer. ♪

[she gestures to the aforementioned PC]

All you have to do is get it to Ruri-chan. Do you know her? ♪

[princeofjunes]

[Minato, Souji, Death, Rin... is there anyone in the town that Ruri doesn't know?]

There's only one Ruri in town, right? Cute girl, works at the cafe, dresses like a maid?

[roadroller]

[Ruri-chan is the networking master...]

That's the one! ♪

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I know her. I can take it to her place if that ever happens.

[And then Yosuke casually admitted he knows where she lives]

[roadroller]

[Rin's not suspicious yet, since Ruri invites a lot of people over for video games and computer stuff.]

Good, thanks. I haven't gotten droned yet, though, so in all likelihood you won't have to do anything. ♪

[princeofjunes]

Well, that's a relief. And if I ever get droned, feel free to ignore me and not eat your veggies.

[roadroller]

Heheh, I will! ♪

Besides, I'm a robot, so I don't really have to eat anything I don't want to eat. ♪

[princeofjunes]

Oh yeah... I forget that sometimes.

[roadroller]

Even though I was just talking about my backup... oh well, it's all part of the magic. ♪

[princeofjunes]

Hey, it's been a rough day! Lets see you wake up in a new house and remember that your not really daughter is actually a robot.

[roadroller]

Pfft. What do you mean it's been a rough day, you just woke up!

Your day will probably be fine once you put some real clothes on. ♪

[completely missed the point...]

[princeofjunes]

[Yep. She did. But there's no point in arguing about it.]

Why, are your days always that much better once you get dressed?

[roadroller]

My outfits are pretty awesome. ♪

[princeofjunes]

[He sighs, but then manages a smile]

I guess it'll at least be funny, being the only adult wearing a school uniform.

[roadroller]

[oh, they gave him his school uniform instead of street clothes? That sucks. She pauses for a moment, unsure what to say.]

... Hehe, don't let them take that away from you! You're still young! ♪

[princeofjunes]

Hey, they went out of my way to send it to me, so they better not try and take it!

It's my old school uniform. The one from back home. It's actually not bad - I'm pretty comfortable in it.

[roadroller]

Still an improvement then! ♪

[princeofjunes]

Huge improvement - my uniform has a place for me to stick my player! And my knives!

Besides, my headphones just look weird with the clothes Mayfield has.

[roadroller]

Your knives? ♪

[what is this, Yosuke does not look nearly gangster enough.]

[princeofjunes]

[Oh yeah, he probably shouldn't throw those into casual conversation. Oops.]

Well, I could give you a big, long, awkward explanation, or I can just say they're for self defense. Up to you.

[roadroller]

Well now I'm curious... ♪
