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 ))

[If it wasn't abundantly clear before that Lancer isn't a normal bro, it is now. But Yosuke isn't exactly a complete regular guy himself]

I have long range skills to use too.

... well, normally anyway. This place hasn't been nice enough to give those back yet.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

I'm still missing a hell of a lot myself, unfortunately.

[princeofjunes]

If you're supposed to be bulletproof, this town is probably too scared to give you back all the good stuff.

At least you've got the lance.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

That sure as hell wouldn't surprise me. I like to imagine I can be pretty damn scary given the opportunity.

I got lucky, this one came from a good friend of mine not long after I got here. It's not the one I usually rely on, but it's a good weapon.

[princeofjunes]

Well, I'm sure as hell not in any hurry to get you mad and find out.

Did that come from the blacksmith guy in town? A friend of mine got him to make a bunch of weapons.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

More than likely, yeah. Friend of mine named Garviel got it from someone a week or so after I'd shown up here.

[princeofjunes]

Probably the same guy then.

At least we're lucky enough to have someone like that in town.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Not that I can't fight unarmed, but it's a hell of a pain. I'd rather have some kind of weapon in my hands.

[princeofjunes]

If only there was someone to even fight.

If we could just beat someone up and go home, we could've left this place weeks ago.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Maybe there is and we just haven't found them yet.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah?

If you find 'em, let me know. I'll lend you a hand with that any day of the week.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. But you might have to get in line considering how many people will be out for their blood.

[princeofjunes]

Can't I just cut into line behind you? You know, back-cut.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I could let you do that. I'd probably have to let a friend of mine in second, but we could always work something out.

[princeofjunes]

I'd be alright with that - as long as there was something left by the time I got a shot.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Can't promise that much, kid. Guess we'll see when we get to that point.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I guess that was asking a lot.

At least leave me a puddle of goop to spit at or something.

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

I;ll see what I can do, I guess.

[princeofjunes]

Guess I can't ask for much more than that.
