[unswerved]

When: 1 May (IC)
Where: The grocery, game center, ViViD, and around the residential district!
What: Two guys who recently got canon updated are back and are here to make noise!
Rating/Warning: Warning for Yata's language, and Fishy's tsundere attitude.

---

A: TWO BEST FRIENDS GO SHOPPING.
[ tag order will be you > fushimi > yata! ]

[ you're probably out doing your groceries and minding your own business. nothing wrong with that! in fact, that is what everybody is doing! you go buy your fruits on your own, it's not like anybody will judge you even if you put a durian in your shopping cart.

you at least think it's peaceful with how the loudest noise you can hear is the establishment's pop music, but that thought is quickly subverted— ]

There's nothing wrong with pineapples, you stupid monkey! [ says a guy in a beanie and a baggy shirt and shorts. it's like he came from the 90's. he waves a pineapple around his taller friend's face, forcing it on him and then tossing it at the cart.

though his aim's pretty shitty when he's angry… watch out! pineapple coming your way, or it probably ends up landing in your cart?! ]


B: DUNCE DUNCE REVOLUTION.
[ the game center has always been bustling with people—mostly delinquents who skip school and use their monthly allowance on video games. that's what you get for giving free money to kids, ceres! but the employees at the game center don't mind! more business for them. and ever since misaki yata's arrival, he's become a regular customer for stopping by every day and playing a game or two.

and he's mostly known for hogging the dance dance revolution machine all to himself for about an hour or so. and for a few days, the game center's regular hadn't shown up, but he's back now with a vengeance! in fact, the news of him being back spread and now there are a ton of spectators inside the game center and outside. yata's just really good in video games, and rhythm games are even his forte! he's dancing so well and owning every song - anyone would be in awe of him.

after breaking a sweat from one of the more difficult songs, he looks back at his audience and asks: ]

Anyone wanna challenge me? I promise to go easy on you!

[ and to make things even more exciting— ]

If you win, I'll buy you anything you want!

[ YATA, NO. ]


C: TWO BEST FRIENDS PLAY.
[ tag order will be you > fushimi > yata! ]

[ yata's scrolling through the list of missions a particular game has to offer outside of the vivid rooms with fushimi right next to him. they haven't done anything together in such a long time, this feeling is so nostalgic! and it's because of that that yata wants to start teaming up with fushimi right away!! and while it's only been recently that they've acted friendly towards each other, yata knows that the two of them make a great team. so what other mission would they aim for but the most difficult one?

except— ]

Huh, Saru. This one needs at least three people.

[ are those footsteps he hears???? he immediately looks back. ]

Hey, you. Wanna play ViViD with us?

[ yata is totally staring you down. you better come! or if you're a girl, he'll hide behind fushimi before he even manages to say anything. YOU TAKE CARE OF THIS, SARUHIKO.

warning: this prompt may contain vivid glitching that would end up with characters playing dumb games. prepare yourself. ]


D: YATA SCREAMS.
[ being gone for a few days meant not being paid for a few days! and while yata has close to 500 credits on him, he still wants to make as much as he can. which is why he asked the owner of the ice cream shop that he works for if he can do double shifts these next coming days. so it might be daytime, the afternoon, or nighttime, but yata's on his ice cream scooter, passing through every street of the residential district and making a lot of noise. ]

Hey punk! Buy my ice cream, before I shove it in your mouth!

[ though if the person he's about to pass is a girl, he tries to speed up, but it ends in him losing balance and falling off the scooter. oops. ]


E: WILDCARD.
[ got any other ideas? hit me! yata's work includes him working for an ice cream shop, but he's also a frequent vivid player, as well as a delivery boy. you might see him every now and then on his skateboard, doing tricks, too! ]

[dishonorstudent]

Who-- [ Ah, Yata's already hiding before Ryuko can even answer them. And he's hiding behind that guy, of all people! This doesn't bode well for this party. ]

Megane Club President... good to see you're still alive and kickin'. [ Yata also gets a nods of acknowledgment from her. ]

[swordplays]

[Some things never change, so he's barely keeping himself from rolling his eyes as Yata darts behind him at just the sight of a girl.]

He's still not fond of the nickname, but at least he can make an attempt at being civil. Ryuko isn't an entirely useless person, and he knows that she's actually good in a fight, too.] I'm not someone that's going to get taken out that easily.

[Then he's nudging Yata, nodding his head towards Ryuko.] Misaki, use your words.

[unswerved]

[ why does yata have to use his words... fushimi can handle this!!!

this is just the second time he's met ryuko, and the first time was when she was trying to get yata to talk to girls. JUST HOW HORRIBLE OF A HUMAN (???) BEING IS SHE, REALLY? please don't shove a nun his way this time around, ryuko. ]

A- Ah. [ he pokes his head out, still behind fushimi. then he nods back at ryuko. hi there. ] Ma... Ma- Ma- Matoi, right? [ hah!! he can talk to girls after all. ]

Hi.

[majinken]

[it's hard to watch out for flying fruit when you're facing the other way. so naturally, while stahn is tossing a couple of apples into a produce bag, he's not... expecting such a thing.

fortunately (for him, maybe not so much for other shoppers), he's got a sentient sword to watch his back. so when he gets a yelled out warning audible to only him? stahn's quick to whip around and draw said sword. the bag of apples hits the ground and spills (whoops), and he just narrowly avoids concussion via pineapple—

—by way of using dymlos to slice it clear in half.

...oops.]

...Heeeh!? [who is trying to assault him with fruit, anyway!?]

[swordplays]

[Really, fruit shouldn't be flying through the store at all, but Yata's small brain just can't comprehend that. It's actually dangerous to be throwing that kind of thing around, even. Before Fushimi can even do anything, Stahn is taking care of the problem himself, leaving him to stare for a few moments before he remembers to close his mouth. Those are some good reflexes.

He does click his tongue, though, because of course it just has to be Relentlessly Helpful Sheep Shearer, who is now standing among the world's worst fruit salad scattered around in the floor.

Stahn is clearly able to handle flying fruit attacks, and seeing a guy whip out a sword is... fairly normal, actually, so Fushimi looks away from him long enough to stare daggers at Yata.]

What are you doing?

[unswerved]

[ WHAT PART OF THIS IS NORMAL. first of all, you don't bring a sword with you to the grocery!?!?! and second, you don't bring out said sword and use it on FRUIT.

yata's just about to yell at fushimi, already showing indignance with how he stood, when he notices that the guy who started playing human fruit ninja was stahn. sorry, fishy. imma let you finish, but stahn is one of the coolest people of all time. OF ALL TIME! ]

Sorry about that. [ he looks embarrassed now. but at least he waves at stahn??? look at this guy. tossing pineapples in the air, and ignoring the repercussions as if it were nothing. ] I was aiming for our cart.

a;

[mombastic]

[ Maybe some other shoppers in this scenario will have Matrix-type reflexes to conquer (or at least avoid) flying pineapples. And Otome's reflexes are typically good enough to be aware of things being flung in her direction.

So sadly. No, today, she is being hit in the back of the head with a pineapple and bracing herself with one hand on the orange display. ]

[swordplays]

[This is exactly why things only get dropped into carts. Otome is tough, he's aware of that, but that doesn't mean that a surprise produce attack isn't going to do any damage. Especially when it's such a heavy object. Luckily [?] the pineapple was one of the smaller varieties.

Still, he's pushing past Yata with a muttered "You idiot," to hurry over to Otome; he's not about to do something crazy like touch her, but he will kick the pineapple away, leaning in close enough to try and get a look at her face. Concussions aren't a joy to have, and he's more worried about having to take someone to the hospital than Otome possibly being upset at the moment.]

How bad is it?

[unswerved]

[ THINGS COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE. yata is normally cool with hurting people, even though it may be an accident, but to hurt a woman???? dear god. DEAR MIKOTO. why!!! yata's about to apologise when he just stands there, waving his arms about as he shouts random words. or what sounds like words, anyway. ]

A- Ah. Crap! [ it's like he just committed a crime with how much he's freaking out about this. just look at this blubbering guy. he's backing away a bit, feeling absolutely guilty.

let's be real, though. if otome was actually otoko, he wouldn't feel so bad. ]

S- SORRY! [ you go, yata. might as well speak through the speakers around the grocery while you're at it. ] I didn't mean it!

c;

[discard]

No.

[Seeing as how you've already nailed plenty of people with pineapples (you fiends), instead you get the pleasure of Leon's company in ViViD. Maybe.

I mean, if you can get him to go along with you guys, but it's Leon, so... you never know. As much as he doesn't mind Yata, he's immediately staring down Fushimi behind him because.

Ugh. That guy.]

[swordplays]

[Wow, yeah, Leon isn't the only one that doesn't want to team up with a sour jerk. He'd rather play a difficult game alone than have to deal with Leon's rudeness. Not that he's helping with the situation much, automatically clicking his tongue and giving Leon an unfriendly look of his own.]

That's fine. There wouldn't be any point to having you along in the first place.

[unswerved]

[ what's with you two. ]

What're you talking about? He's a pretty good fighter, [ yata tells fushimi. then he looks back at leon. he's not going to plead or anything, but he does ask leon to reconsider. ]

C'mon, man. Don't be a sour puss.

[ though if vivid ends up glitching and they end up having to play space jam or something, then that's an entirely different story. all three of them are going to be absolutely Useless. ]

C

[theshiningone]

[Rejoice, two losers. For another loser has arrived and is completely oblivious (or he's flat out immune) to Yata's little death glare there.]

Kyaaaa! ♥ Two senpais have noticed me!

[He's looking stupidly cheerful and energetic here. As scary as ViViD was... He also got a great amount of entertainment out of it. This was even more fun when you had some people to play it with.]

I'm up for forming a party. However, we gotta form a team name and victory pose first. [It's a huge 50/50 if he's being serious or just joking around.]

[swordplays]

[Why... why did it have to come to this. He's quickly learned that Hiro has no problem with being as embarrassing as possible, but so far it hasn't been around too many other people. This is just great. Only muttering about it can fix these sorts of issues.] Who's noticing you, you were just walking by, it would be hard not to notice.

[Those are terrible ideas too, so he's scoffing at the very idea.] We're not doing any of that.

[unswerved]

[ okay. yata is definitely s nerd and is all for team names and victory poses, but that shit'e reserved for fushimi and homra. he doesn't even know who this bunny guy is?? PLEASE. ]

What. What kind of dumbass idea is that?

[ when yata calls something dumb, you know something is wrong. ]

C

[dirtdevil]

[ he should have known taking a shortcut through the game center would only end in suffering. really, what was he thinking? two minutes in and someone's already trying to get him to jump into that stupid—

...wait. he recognizes that voice. that dumb kid from the library who thought he was going to kill him. and that other guy from the library is there with him... the one who said he was above cleaning up all those books. un-fucking-believable.

he stops, turns, and glares. are you talking to him? ]

Are you serious?

[swordplays]

[It only takes a moment to recognize the grouchy passerby. The aggressive cleanfreak from the library, who Fushimi doesn't actually want anything to do with since he's so uptight. Even if they did play, he would probably complain about everything anyway, and who wants that?

The glaring isn't really having any effect, but that's no reason not to be a jerk right back at him.]

Obviously someone like you isn't going to be any good. Forget it.

[unswerved]

[ ah... it's the guy who called yata dumb. HE'S NOT WRONG, but he is also very insulting. that said, yata doesn't really know much about him, and it's not like this rudeass tiny punk left much of an impression. so he's going to listen to fushimi. and if the president of the megane club thinks levi isn't worth their time, then he probably isn't.

Why are you even here if you don't wanna play the game? [ so aggressive. at least he hasn't cursed at you yet, levi. ] What a waste of time.

a;

[topscores]

[OK BUT HE WAS JUST TRYING TO DO SOME HARMLESS SHOPPING AND NOT TERRORIZING ANYONE FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE...

A pineapple goes sailing past his head, and his eyes go wide as he moves his head out of the way.]

Hey!! Are you trying to kill me or something?!

[swordplays]

[Maybe this is karma for all the times Nice has been a lazy bum...? Maybe not. Either way, since nobody actually suffered any damage from flying fruit, Fushimi is clicking his tongue at Nice. It was incredibly stupid of Yata to throw the pineapple in the first place, but really, this is just being dramatic.]

What kind of person would you be if you let a pineapple kill you?

[unswerved]

[ YATA WAS AIMING FOR THE CART. SHUT UP???

yata doesn't even feel remotely sorry for almost hitting nice, but he does scratch his head and gives the most halfhearted apology ever. at least you get one, nice! ]

Oh... sorry about that. At least you didn't actually die.

[ he's so comforting. ]

A.

[makigumo]

[ Excuse you, Shihoudou never minds her own business! Not when she can mind other people's business instead, because that's much more fun! Even when it's in a store that she's skipping around in.

She grabs the pineapple due to reflex, looks at it in amused surprise, and then gets ready to throw it right back at them. ]

Hey Crow-chan! Think not-slow!

[swordplays]

[As if it wasn't bad enough to be arguing over food with Yata in public, now that he's decided to throw the produce around, that crazy woman has decided that playing catch with it is a good idea as well.

If Yata's not fast enough to dodge it being thrown back at him, then really, it's his own fault.]

D oh my god yata.

[fortheprincess]

[ It's nighttime and Hak's heading home from doing some alcohol grocery shopping and he doesn't really have a fondness for ice cream or anything like that. Yona's probably more into that stuff than he is, but there's no way in hell that Hak's gonna buy any from little Small Fry over here calling him a punk. ]

Huh? [ He turns towards the sound of that annoying voice and he's clearly unimpressed. ] Shove it in my mouth, eh? I'd like to see you try.

:')

[unswerved]

That's what I said!

[ he tries to be as intimidating as possible, but all hak is seeing is a small bike pedaling closer and closer. the bell attached to it is also ringing. ]
