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.]

I see you got the job! ♪

[Rin holds out a candy bar for him. She was bored so she decided to bring snacks over. Yup.]

[princeofjunes]

Yeah! Lucky us, huh little sis?

[Hell yes candy! He takes it with a big grin]

And you were right about the discount. We'll be rolling in music before we know it.

[roadroller]

[ehehe he called her little sis. She thinks maybe she'll call him Yosuke-nii sometime. :3c]

Super lucky! ♪ We're ahead of the game!

[princeofjunes]

[Om nom nom candy. This is turning into a good day!]

Anything you want me to bring home when I leave today?

[roadroller]

Dunno... let me look around first, I guess. ♪

[she's not going to do that yet though, cause she has her own candy that she's unwrapping]

[princeofjunes]

[Wait, crap, he should probably clarify that]

Nothing too crazy though! We still need to save money for a stage, don't forget.

[roadroller]

How could I forget? ♪

Besides, don't you only sell records? ♪

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, but knowing my luck the one you want will somehow be the most expensive one in the store.

[roadroller]

So what you're saying is none of the gold ones. ♪

[princeofjunes]

None of the gold ones if you want that stage anytime soon.

[roadroller]

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. ♪
