Track 07: Dirty Little Secret
ACTION: THE RECORD STORE - ALL DAY - OPEN - TRUTHFIELD: LEVEL THREE
[It didn't take long for Yosuke to notice something horribly wrong earlier in the week. Rin was acting weird, the entire town was making unbelievable phone calls, and though people weren't dying as far as he knew, the town was messing with everyone again. Uneasy at both the prospect of hearing everyone else's business and revealing his own, Yosuke took a different path and buried himself in his work. The record store was usually slow, and thankfully whatever was affecting the town had yet to hit him full force.
In a lot of ways it was like his first month in Inaba. Next to no one to talk to for one reason or another, and no choice but to bury himself in his music and work. Still, as lonely as his strategy was, it seemed to be working. He'd avoided nearly everyone and everything successfully, and he felt vaguely proud of himself. With any luck, he might be home free soon.
He certainly felt different as he went into work on the weekend. Probably just a side effect of the isolation, right? What could possibly go wrong now? He'd be fine. He was sure of it.]

"...damn, loud stuff really is another 30 years away... Wonder if this is as stupid a plan as it seems..."
no subject
Hey! I know most of the music sucks, but you need help with anything?
no subject
no subject
There's not much, but I think there's a few rock songs we can find. They're the ones I usually put on when I try to forget that I flirt with everyone because I'm so lonely!
[And then he stops dead. Shit.]

no subject
[What. What. NO. Stop that! He takes a deep breath and calms himself down]
Right, so. It's this Elvis guy. He's pretty good.
no subject
no subject
[That one's not as bad as the others, so he lets it go]
Wait, you met Elvis? You're joking, right?
no subject
"Yeah, met Elvis, and a buncha other guys. You meet a lot of weird folk when you're patrolling the time lines. You really don't want that job..."
[Facepalm]
"Right... Look... Uh, can we not mention that last part, this town is making it hard to do anything under cover."
no subject
This town makes it hard to do anything. Except look at girls in bikinis you can never get. That part was easy.

Hmm... I wonder what I should get...
no subject
Need help with something today?
no subject
[ HIs voice is so powerful it probably rattles Yosuke's chest a bit. ]
no subject
Have anything in mind? Or just something to take your mind off life?
no subject
[ He smiles, his craggy face looking a bit gentle, for a moment. ]
no subject
Alright, let's start with a few questions. Fast tempo? Slow tempo? Something to get a girl in the mood? I mean, not that I'd know anything about that - the only one who will even give me the time of day I keep blowing off.
[He cringes and takes a second to compose himself, really hoping the rest of the day is quieter]
Right, so... tempo?
no subject
no subject
Oh, but I'm talking about Ruri! She actually seems like she likes me, but even though I totally like her too I keep ignoring her because I can't get this other girl out of my head.
... [He groans]
I'm usually not this open about it.
no subject
[ Is Garviel about to kill Yosuke? ]
I see. You should act honorably towards her. She has suffered much at the hands of the foes of her family, and she still feels the need for vengeance. If you wish to reach her heart, you must be prepared to help her carry the weight of grief.
[ Garviel is indeed the daddest space marine. ]
no subject
Oh, I've been honest with her! I'm not going to be dishonest or lead her on or some crap. And she still flirts with me! It's crazy!
... honestly I think she deserves someone better than me. Someone who can just give her what she needs without any of my wishy washy crap.
[He will be mortified about this later, but for the moment - even if what he's saying isn't voluntary - it's a bit of a relief to get it all out]
no subject
I can say this though: Nobody deserves anything, or rather, nobody receives what they reserve. If you are comfortable reaching out to her, you should do so, with bravery and honor.
no subject
You've never had feelings for a girl?
Ever?
