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 ))

Yeah, it's inconsistent but it looks like that's what causes the move sometimes. I know another guy that suddenly moved and became a father too.

[princeofjunes]

At least I know my 'daughter', but it's too weird to treat her like that. She's more like a little sister.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

Why bother? There's no punishment for not treating anyone as if they were family.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I know. But she's cool - she really is like a little sister.

Annoying sometimes, and then sometimes kinda cute.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

[smirks] Heeh? Is that so?

[princeofjunes]

Yeah. At least, I think that's what having a little sister is like. I'm an only child, so I wouldn't really know.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

It's kind of like that. What I liked about my little sister was how cute she was trying to catch up to Shikime. The way she struggles, complains, and smiles when she's satisfied with herself just warms the heart.

[His smile was less sinister than depicted in the icon.]

[princeofjunes]

Sounds like you and your sister had a pretty good relationship. I hope I can stay on good terms with her like that.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

[...Haha.]

If she's older than ten, you shouldn't have a problem unless you really mess things up.

[princeofjunes]

Well, as long as I build that stage I promised her, I should be fine.

... long story.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

A stage?

[princeofjunes]

Yeah. A performance stage. She's a singer.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

Heh. You didn't have to do anything, and already you've raised talent in the family.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I guess I'm just that good. Maybe I should go all out and be a stage dad.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

Why not? It shouldn't take much to get her at the top of the charts in a place like this.

[princeofjunes]

If we're lucky, it might be enough to break this place.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

I'd be pissed if all it took was some roundabout way like that. But hey, anything to get people out of here.

[princeofjunes]

Come on. You'd be pissed for a minute, but then you'd laugh about it for a week.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

Haha, you're probably right.

[princeofjunes]

... now I think I have to do it just to see if it works.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

There's no harm in trying. And hey, why not tell me when that girl of yours starts performing? Chances are I'd be bored enough to check it out.

[princeofjunes]

Are you kidding? If the whole town doesn't know, then something went wrong.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

...Huh, that's right. It should be easy enough to tell if something popular is happening now.

[princeofjunes]

Not even that. If the whole town didn't know, Rin might have a fit.

[forgottenshiki.livejournal.com]

It looks like you'll have a lot on your plate trying to please her.
