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 ))

Around the same time as I did, then.

I don't think it's so bad. I... don't think I'll ever feel that comfortable in this place. It's too different from where I'm from.

[princeofjunes]

I don't know. I mean, you get a few things back, make a few friends, and suddenly this place isn't so bad.

I... I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

... No, I can see where you're coming from. It's probably easier for people like that.

... My home isn't like this though. This is more like the homes of Iron--- [... He needs to get out of that habit.] Zexen. It reminds me of where Zexen's people live.

[princeofjunes]

You... mind explaining what a Zexen is?

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

It's not really a what more like a where. Um...

They live in stone houses and their soldiers were iron armor, so there was a time when we referred to them as ironheads. They have confusing and overly complicated systems and their council can be pretty rude. [... Wait, that makes them sound like bad people.] But Zexen--- well, Brass Castle--- has a lot of nice people there! It's by the sea, so the breeze is good too.

[princeofjunes]

Oh, alright! I think I get it.

So you're used to living somewhere a little more... natural?

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

That's right. [...] How about you though? Did you live in a place like this?

[princeofjunes]

... yeah, actually. It was a lot like this. More modern though, this is kind of old fashioned.

[He thinks for a moment]

Well, the part where people went crazy and started killing each other? That's new.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

This is considered old-fashioned? [His life is so backwards.]

... That's definitely new. I've never seen it happen that way before.

[princeofjunes]

Where I'm from, yeah. Technology is really far behind here, but I guess it's not that way for everyone.

If you're used to nature though, this place must have been a pretty big culture shock for you.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

It's all really strange to me--- especially the television. I really don't know how they did that.

It... really was. I'm still getting used to everything.

[princeofjunes]

Well, don't get too used to it.

With a little luck we'll all be heading home soon, right?

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

Hopefully! I miss seeing Fubar and the others, so it would definitely be nice to get home soon.
