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.]

I'm doing good! What about yourself?

[princeofjunes]

I can't really complain - I mean, I can because we're all still stuck here, but other than that? It's pretty good.

You keeping busy, King-kun?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It's hard to really keep busy. After all, it gets really boring around here.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, no kidding. Even work gets boring, and you don't have to worry about that crap yet.

What do you usually do for fun, anyway?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Talk with girls, mostly. At least that can take up a lot of time.

[princeofjunes]

I should've known from the pool party that you're a little flirt!

So who do you have your eye on? Someone I know?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Why would I have my eye on one person only?

[princeofjunes]

Because when girls find out you're two-timing them, talking to them stops being fun.

That's what I've heard, anyway.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You seem to know a lot about it!

[princeofjunes]

That's just common sense, man! Girls don't like to be two-timed!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I don't really understand though. They never minded before.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, well, welcome to the modern world, where girls get mad when you date two at once.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You'll have to be my sensei then since modern girls are different.

[princeofjunes]

Wait, seriously? Nobody's ever talked to you about modern girls before? Jeez, you're starting from way behind, Gilgamesh.

[Not that Yosuke is Cassanova, but apparently compared to Gilgamesh he is. What a world.]

But alright! I'll give you a hand.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'll be counting on you then!

[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.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm still safe.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah. And you can probably use your young looks as a weapon - some girls love the little brother look.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I know they do!

[princeofjunes]

See? You're already on the right track. Just remember the no cheating thing, and you should be fine for a while.
