Track 08 - I'll Be There

Hey guys, it's Yosuke. I just thought I'd check in, see how everyone's doing. I know it's been sort of rough lately, so...

[PARK - EVENING - OPEN]

[He's been coming here a lot lately. It really isn't a bad place to spend time. The park is usually nice and peaceful, and it gives him plenty of time to think. To reflect on his time there, to figure out what he wants, to try and piece together what bits he's learned about the town. Really, he can think about whatever strikes him that particular day.

Today it seems the focus is on himself - him, and the choices he's made recently and not so recently. Decisions he's made, decisions he hasn't made. Time he's spent waiting. Other people he's heard about. Is he really doing what's best? If he has to be stuck in this town, doesn't he deserve to be as happy as he can be? Is he doing what he can to that end? Is the road he's on the right one - hell, is it even going anywhere?

Too bad there are no easy answers.]

[Of course not! Partner's just good with his hands!]

See? I knew you were cool, Minato.

Been up to anything fun lately? Or just computer games now that you have the chance?

[princeofjunes]

Here's a free lesson to get started - flirt all you want, but if you get a girlfriend, stop hitting on other girls unless you want to fight with your lady all the time.

[princeofjunes]

NO! Why the hell would I call a lizard a-

Never mind that, why the hell was it underground! And why did it look like it wanted to eat me?! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

[doudemoe]

Nah, no games yet. I'll have to talk to Ruri-san about it.

[Unless you like minesweeper. (And no word about the results about the vs match between him and Minako.)]

I'm fine I guess.

[Not really all that fine, he checks Naoto's drone regularly. BUT NO ONE HAS TO KNOW.]

[princeofjunes]

I'll bug her about it if I see her before you get the chance! I run into her a lot - but I guess going to where she works all the time might have something to do with it.

[princeofjunes]

You sure?

I've been a little worried about you, man. I haven't seen you much.

[kickassncrafts.livejournal.com]

I've been around, maybe we just missed each other.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, maybe.

You know I'm a dad now, right?

[doudemoe]

Really? I don't see you too often.

[kickassncrafts.livejournal.com]

[Way to say that in the worst way possible.]

You're what?

W-we ain't been here that long I-I-I mean--

[ Millie sure likes to come down to the park. It's all fun, lots of fun things to do - and hey, look, Yosuke's there, just as he was once before! And seeing him, she gives him a wave and calls out. ]</small. Hiiii, Yosuke!

[She nods a little looking down a bit]

"I more miss the Ramen cart but... Even at home that's long gone."

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

Simply testing your sense of alertness. The town could, ah. Spring much worse than killer crocs on us at any moment, after all.

Krookodile happens to live in the desert. It swims through sand, you see.

[princeofjunes]

The ramen cart?

Sounds tasty. Maybe when you get bored of the military, you should start your own Ramen cart.

[princeofjunes]

I'm not saying I specifically come on the days when there's not many guys, but...

That's totally what I do.

[princeofjunes]

Alertness my ass - did you even know I was over here?! It probably just got away from you, and now you're trying to sound cool and explain it away.

I thought all these things were supposed to answer to your beck and call?

[princeofjunes]

[It was intentional, Kanji. You just fell into Yosuke's trap.]

Yeah, the town made me the dad in some house. On my birthday.

A month ago.

Seriously, what have you been up to? Something's not right.

[princeofjunes]

[There's no way he could ever forget Millie - she leaves quite an impression. But it must have at least been a decent one because Yosuke smiles at her, waving her over.]

Millie! It's been a while! Come on over, we'll catch up!

".....I worked on one before I joined. I played the flute."

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

I don't know about cool a spur of the moment response you understand; it's hardly my fault it hasn't been fed in a quarter of a year.

Ah. Not that they eat humans, but you can't blame it for being grouchy, either.

[doudemoe]

Huh. I should warn the world of your dastardly deeds.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah? Think you'd ever go back?

... or is that pretty much behind you now?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Maybe if Akito and Yurika were still alive...."

[princeofjunes]

Nothing personal bro, but if I saw you during swimsuit week, your skinny ass would distract me from the hot ladies until I force fed you three cheeseburgers. And I'm there for the ladies, not for the guys.
