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 ))

[Outside of one of the houses is a little girl playing hopscotch. There is a slightly worn teddy bear sitting on a nearby lawn chair positioned so he can watch.]

[princeofjunes]

[That is absolutely adorable - and a little heartbreaking when he considers that a tiny cute girl is trapped in the town. That's not right]

Now that looks like fun.

[She stops and gives him a shy smile.]

Do you want to play?

[princeofjunes]

[She kind of reminds him of Nanako-chan and what harm could it really be?]

Sure, if you don't mind, but you might have to teach me how.

[Well, that's a pleasant surprise. It's hard to get big kids to play games sometimes.]

Okay!

Don't worry, it's real easy.

[Pointing at the hopscotch board on the pavement.]

You take a little rock, then you throw it, like this.

[She does, and it lands on the first square.]

Now I gotta jump over that on one foot, and then keep jumping all the way to the end and back. On the way back, I can pick up the rock. Then I try to throw the rock into the second square. Whoever gets the farthest wins.

[princeofjunes]

[Yep, she absolutely reminds him of Nanako-chan. And with that in mind, he feels all warm and fuzzy inside.]

Alright, I think I get it. You want to go first?

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[The first square is always pretty easy, and she manages it with only a little wobbling.]

Your turn~!

[princeofjunes]

[His balance is usually spot on and today isn't much of an exception, but he tries to wobble some for her benefit - he's not out to make a little girl cry here. Still, he finishes without any real trouble]

Hey, this is pretty fun!
