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.]

If we keep this up, that anyone will bearly get the point to this thread

[ Souji tries standing up--but nope, that doesn't work. He falls to his back, wheezing to catch his breath. His body just quakes with pain. His face feels warm and sticky--probably from the blood--but despite all that he just smiles wryly, staring up into the sky. Didn't this happen too, back in Inaba? ]

Yeah. I needed that.

They will not be prebeared

[princeofjunes]

[Yep, it's history repeating all over again, and he can't help but laugh - then immediately swear at how much laughing hurts. At least he managed another draw when it really mattered]

I think I did too.

Still... glad to have you back, Partner.

I've been bested in the arena by the beary best in unbearably bad bear puns! I yield!

[ Souji forces himself to sit up. Wow how can this hurt even more in the morning this is pretty bad right now. ]

I'm so glad I can see you again so soon. Just wish it were on better circumstance.

[ He stands up and Souji swears he nearly passes out from the pain, but he finds himself steady, eventually. He offers his hand to Yosuke. ]

It's okay. Bear in mind your grizzly defeat and make a senseitional comeback.

[princeofjunes]

[Thank god for that hand, because Yosuke is fairly certain he wouldn't have been able to get up on his own. Breathing - let alone talking - still hurts like he can't believe, but he seems to be staying upright more or less]

Yeah, no kidding.

... sorry for blaming you, man. That wasn't fair.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ He slings Yosuke's arm over his shoulder and helps him back to the park bench. ]

We're all on edge.

[ He sits down besides him, wearily. It's a peaceful moment, never mind their bloody welts and already swollen parts. ]

[princeofjunes]

[Yeah he probably won't be heading home for a while]

I know we're all making the best of a bad place, and I know you trust us to handle our own lives and we have to let you do your own thing.

I guess I just still see you as our fearless leader who keeps everything together, you know?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

The fearless is a bit much.

[ Souji chuckles and winces from the sharp pain in his gut. ]

But thanks. I don't want to let anyone down, but there are some strange things here in Mayfield.

[princeofjunes]

There's a lot of good things too, though.

... well, good people at least.

If it weren't for all the stupid crap, the people here would really make me like this place.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I hear you.

[ He stands up again, though not without sharp pain to his gut again. ]

Let's go home, before we bleed out on the street.

[princeofjunes]

[Well, it's not like breathing is going to get any easier...]

Yeah, alright. Wouldn't want to stay out and worry Rin.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ He takes Yosuke's hand and helps his partner back up on his feet again. ]

Rin?

The blonde or the twin tails?

[princeofjunes]

[Yay standing upright!

... wait, tails?]

The blonde. She's my fake daughter.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Rin Hatsune.

[ Souji chuckles. ]

Small world.

She can be handful, but she's very nice.

[princeofjunes]

Tell me about it. I already promised we'd build a stage in the house.

I totally derped there. It's Rin Kagamine. wtf @ Rin Hatsune that's Miku lolol

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's ambitious. She'll get the heads up on Miku.

...

Rin was one of the first people I've got to know in Mayfield.

Pffft, it's okay I wont tell

[princeofjunes]

Yeah? I talked to her my first day too. She's pretty cool - she treats me like an older brother now.

... crap, she's gonna let me have it when she sees me like this.

BEST PARTNER IS BEST PARTNER

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ He realizes it too that she would let him have it also. He also realizes that Rin has a steam roller. ]

... Let's say we fell down some stairs.

THE BEST EVER

[princeofjunes]

... you really think she'll buy it?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Maybe. She thinks I'm pretty silly and a little clumsy.

[ And boy are you clumsy Souji. ]

[princeofjunes]

Then we just might get away with it. Way to be clumsy, Partner!
