Track 05: Small Town

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: EVERYWHERE - ALL DAY - EVERYONE

[As Yosuke's settled himself into Mayfield, he finds one question gnawing at the back of his head.

Is this place really that bad?

Sure, there's the dronings and the weird things that happen, but day to day everybody's able to go about their lives - maybe even find things to do that make them happy. They bring bits and pieces from home and make connections with other people. They can even meet people they never would have at home. Does the good the people make in this town outweigh the bad the town tries to bring them down with?

He's curious. Also, it's a great excuse to take a day off and wander around the town, so that's exactly what he does - he sets out and walks, with no destination in mind]

(( OOC NOTE: He's literally just walking around town today, meeting people, talking to people, whatever. In your reply just note where they're meeting; the park, a store, outside someone's house. It doesn't matter where, just give me a heads up. Thanks! <3 ))

Well, I'm always up for a game of cards or a game of chance.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't worry about it.

[He smirked, spinning the lance around a few times in one hand.

If you were in the way, you'd know by now.

[princeofjunes]

[And now that he's using words Yosuke understands, things are less awkward! Yay!]

Oh, so you're a gambler? That's pretty cool - I didn't think this would be a big gambling town.

But man, making monsters fight each other? That almost sounds like something out of a video game.

[princeofjunes]

Mind if I ask why you're training? I mean, is it just to stay in shape, or are you worried about everyone in town going crazy and murder happy again?

[princeofjunes]

Card games aren't really my thing, but a game of chance? Sure, I'll try it.

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making yourself sound foolish.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Both. I'm still nowhere near the kind of power I'm supposed to have, and it's really starting to get annoying. I got killed on the first day of that mass murdering shit, you believe that?

If anyone from back home knew I died from something as simple as a knife to the chest, I'd be laughed out of the country.

[What is taking death seriously, I don't even.]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Are you willing to make a bet?

[princeofjunes]

[Well once you die and come back to life death sort of stops mattering]

A knife, huh? Sounds pretty rough - at least I got sniped from out of nowhere.

It's less rough on yourself when there's nothing you could have done, you know? I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly bulletproof. [And if you are, it might not surprise him]

[princeofjunes]

[He laughs out loud - oh, silly kids]

You either haven't been here long or don't get out much.

Look for my house - the one with the steamroller in front of it - and then get back to me on that.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Nothing I haven't done a couple times before. It just bothers me that it was over so quickly.

...well, if you want to be all technical, I kind of should be. [Protection against projectiles was a very useful skill for a Servant to have, after all.] Still, that must've sucked.

[princeofjunes]

A bet, huh? What are we betting on?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

If you can beat me or not.

[princeofjunes]

[He sighs and shrugs]

It did suck. Watching you train is making me realize I'm getting out of shape.

I used to fight stuff almost every day, you know? Here I'm just... here.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, but beat you in what?

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Yeah, join the club. It gets so damn quiet around here half the time that I'm starting to think I'll just go crazy. The hell am I supposed to do if I'm not fighting?

Call me Lancer, by the way.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, dice maybe? What would you like to do?

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

[She glances over at him and smiles.]

I'd love to. What about the others, though? It doesn't seem fair to leave them behind...

Around some house

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

[Because there's always some place for SHIKI to stalk, I just haven't thought of which one yet. Yosuke can find him suspiciously loitering around a house, peeking in windows from afar once in a while.]

[princeofjunes]

Yosuke! Nice to meet you, Lancer.

Well, I've found that flirting with girls and promising crazy things to people helps - I have to build a stage in my house sometime. And a job is alright, I guess. But you're making me want to add working out to the list.

[princeofjunes]

They're all pretty cute, right? I'm sure someone will take them home sooner or later.

[He has the sinking feeling he won't get out of this conversation without taking home a puppy]

[princeofjunes]

Sure, dice sounds fine. At least there's not as much strategy to that as cards.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Girls are usually a pretty good distraction. And now that you mention it, I guess having a half-decent job is a pretty new experience.

[Lancer you might be the worst bartender ever, shut up.]

...I could probably give you an idea how to use one of these if you're interested.

[Because what the hell, he had time to kill. And Yosuke seemed like a pretty okay kid.]

[princeofjunes]

[There is absolutely nothing about this that doesn't look sketchy, and it's his duty to stop it! Or something like that]

Hey, are you looking for something?

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

Do you think so? So they'll all have homes?

[Oh that makes her so happy. Look at her beaming at you, Yosuke.]
