princeofjunesACTION: 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.]

Date: 2011-07-20 05:57 am (UTC)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?

Date: 2011-07-23 07:20 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-07-23 07:33 am (UTC)[ 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. ]

Date: 2011-07-23 09:47 am (UTC)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
Date: 2011-07-24 05:08 am (UTC)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.

Ever?

Date: 2011-07-27 04:23 am (UTC)So, what does it feel like? When you're around her, talk to her, whatever it is you're doing when you feel it.

no subject
Date: 2011-08-03 03:54 am (UTC)It's closer to... excitement. You're so excited to be around them that your body reacts. You can't get them out of your mind - that sort of thing.

Date: 2011-08-03 09:37 pm (UTC)Is it really that bad a thing?

Date: 2011-08-05 01:19 am (UTC)I'd think you'd be twice as eager to defend humanity if you're in love with someone. You know, wanting to keep them safe, all that.

Date: 2011-08-05 09:37 am (UTC)You guys sound like you're supposed to be the elite of the elite, right? So instead of being selective and only picking the people who will put humanity first, they make a stupid rule and screw over everyone. It's like a teacher punishing the whole class because one idiot made a stupid joke - nobody wins, not even the teacher.
