Track 04: Nobody Told Me

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: The Record Store - Morning/Afternoon - Open

[All things considered, Yosuke is enjoying his new job at the record store, familiarizing himself with the music and keeping the records spinning. If you're in the market for some music, come on in and shop!]

ACTION: John Doe Park - Evening - Open

[Yosuke is sitting on a park bench, headphones on as he looks at the ground, despondant. He'd been wondering why he hadn't heard from Chie lately and wanted to make sure she was going to his (late) Birthday Party, so he'd gone after work in search of her.

He hadn't been prepared to see his friend all dressed up and flirting with the drone boys. No training, no kung fu, no arguing - done through and through.

He's not sure how to cope with that. He doesn't even know how long she's been this way. So he's simply sitting there, drowning his sorrows in the music and trying to cope with everything.]

Mm....

[Well Yosuke's instincts were right about her tastes.]

Maybe this time I should pass... ♪

[princeofjunes]

[He had a feeling. Fellow musician's instincts, maybe?]

Maybe just this once. For the greater good, right?

[roadroller]

Really? ♪

[princeofjunes]

[Sigh]

Just this once.

[roadroller]

Hehe. I still need to browse though. We'll see! ♪

[princeofjunes]

Just let me know before you go!

[roadroller]

Well, duh. It'd be shoplifting otherwise, right? ♪

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, and the last thing I need is my daughter getting arrested. I'm not paying bail.

[roadroller]

Yeah? Well if I go to jail and you don't get me out somehow, you're definitely gonna get it after I come home from digging out with a spoon. ♪

[princeofjunes]

[It's all he can do to not laugh]

Hey, don't talk to your dad like that! I'll ground you or something!

[roadroller]

What is this dad stuff? ♪

I thought we agreed that you were going to be Yosuke-niichan! One day at work and you age 20 years?! ♪

[princeofjunes]

Right, like either of us really took that seriously. I think I just creeped myself out saying that crap.

[roadroller]

Of course not! ♪

[although imagining him rapidly aging gave her the idea of dying his hair gray someday. If he deserves it.]

[princeofjunes]

[The odds of him deserving it are incredibly low. Probably]

Seriously though, if I'm your big brother, then I shouldn't be bailing you out.

I should be in there with you, right?

[roadroller]

[no, that's her twin's job.

But honestly, she misses that more than anything else.]

Yeah, you should. ♪

[princeofjunes]

Well, there you go. Don't go getting arrested without me, then.

[roadroller]

Heh... ♪

[she looks distracted for a moment. Damn it, he really shouldn't be reminding her of Len like that. They're not even alike at all and Yosuke's not as cute either! It's just because she hasn't seen him in so long, right? She's just going crazy.

Anyway, after that brief moment, she decides she doesn't need to buy a record after all]

Ok, gotta go, Yosuke-nii! I'll see you when you get off. ♪

[and with that, she's bounding out, tossing a wave over her shoulder]

[princeofjunes]

[Well, that was sudden. But he still smiles and waves after her]

Alright, see you at home! Later!

[roadroller]

Later!

[the door slams unintentionally.

...yeah she's gonna be so impressed when he comes home all beat up....]
