---

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! ]

[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.

[dishonorstudent]

Yo.

[ YATA HOW DID YOU GET WORSE SINCE LAST TIME THEY SPOKE... Ryuko looks at Fushimi again, lowering her voice a little. ]

Is your girlfriend gonna be alright with this?

[swordplays]

He's-- ["An idiot, a total virgin, not my girlfriend,"] going to be fine, he just has to stop acting like a child.

[To help with that, he's sidestepping away from Yata, leaving him in full view of Ryuko. Put on the big boy pants, man.]

[unswerved]

[ fishy, you don't understand. this woman is terrifying! and yata's shorts totally count as big boy pants. they certainly scream "man" more than your skinny jeans, taylor swift. ]

A- Are you gonna play... [ may as well ask if she wants to join, right? he just doesn't have to talk to her or anything. though maybe spending some time with her would help him get over his nerves. ]

[dishonorstudent]

It's a 3-person game, ain't it? Sounds like you can't start it without me. [ Yeah, she's in. How can she say no to mindless violence? .....Assuming that's what they'll get in this level. ]

[swordplays]

That's settled, then. [Now that they've gotten that much out of the way, he turns back to the ViViD machine, scrolling through the three-person missions himself in case Yata's too braindead to do it.]

[unswerved]

[ HIS BRAIN STILL WORKS, OKAY. it's just. . . very slow.

he does give way to fushimi, though. there's a bunch of ridiculous sounding missions, all with five-star difficulty, but the one at the top, with exclamation points and a red background is some quest in a dungeon to find five "one-winged angels" and defeat them. ]

Ah. Here.

[dishonorstudent]

[ She... peers over Yata's shoulder. Good job being taller than someone, bro. ]

...One-winged angels? Geez, who comes up with this crap.

[swordplays]

[Of course Yata has to go for the biggest and most difficult choice. Still, if it's going to be that tough, the rewards might not be too bad. Ryuko's not terrible in a fight either, so why not.]

Honestly, this better be worth it.

[unswerved]

It's a hundred credits if we win it, so it's definitely worth it.

[ he'll need all that money for the mobile games he plays. and he can buy a lot of ugly jackets with it, too! so it's a great deal! and while yata's never seen ryuko fight, she seems like a tough girl who can handle her own, anyway. so let's GO!!!!

the scenery changes and they find themselves in a grassy plain. it's like it's fresh off the sound of music! there are some sheep grazing here and there, and some tiny monsters come out of their hiding if they step on the right patch of grass.

this particular dungeon might seem peaceful, but yata's too hyped up. he swings his metal rod around like a baseball bat, hitting the air in front of him. ]

Alright! Let's do this!

1/???

[dishonorstudent]

I'm on it! Let's go, Senketsu!!

[ Ryuko pulls the needle on her red glove, allowing her outfit to draw blood from her.

WAIT SHIT-- ]

[dishonorstudent]

[ --YATA DOESN'T KNOW-- ]

[dishonorstudent]

[ --ABOUT HER OTHER POWER. ]

[dishonorstudent]

[ FFFUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK ]

done.

[dishonorstudent]

[ Yeah, too late. She's already synchronized with Senketsu, revealing more than the poor virgin can probably handle. ]

...W-Where's the enemy? [ PLAY IT COOL. ]

[swordplays]

[Well. Well.... this is clearly over before it even really begins. He doesn't even click his tongue, it's far too late for that. Between Ryuko's outfit and Yata's complete and utter inability to handle being reminded that yes, female anatomy is a thing that exists, there's no chance of this not ending terribly.

You're on your own, Yata, because he's already getting out of the way of his inevitable ridiculous freakout.]

Don't.

[unswerved]

[ FIRST THERE'S THAT BLINDING LIGHT. ]

Aghkgk!! What in the—

[unswerved]

[ he's so ready to react violently, vocal chords 100% prepared, when ryuko apparently changes clothi... ng... ]

Watch it! You could've blinded someo. . .

[unswerved]

Huh?

[ why. why is she suddenly showing her tits. also WHY IS SHE NOT WEARING PANTIES??? ]

[unswerved]

[ LOUD AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE CHIHUAHUA NOISES!!!

until he decides to just run away, leaving both his weapon and skateboard behind. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT SHIT ANYMORE. and as he runs away, he's screaming: ]

Why is she— Where are her— I saw it... I saw her— her— [ he stops in his tracks and quickly covers his mouth as he gurgles. ]

[dishonorstudent]

Oh, you gotta be-- I'm right here, DUMBASS!! What's his problem?!

(( Senketsu: ...Perhaps we should power down for now. ))

[swordplays]

[Don't facepalm don't facepalm don't facepalm. He watches Yata go like the dumbest wind-up toy ever, suffering from the natural secondhand embarrassment that comes with being friends with him.]

He can't deal with your... [He makes a gesture at her... everything without looking directly at any of it.] Misaki's got a very small brain, and he's afraid of girls, so he doesn't know what to do with himself right now.

[Not that he's going over to comfort or even mock Yata, of course. He's still not sure if Yata's going to lose his breakfast or not and he doesn't need that grossness in his life.]

[unswerved]

[ lucky for all of them, yata manages to hold it in. gross. so no hurling today! once he's caught his breath, he slowly looks back at the two people he left behind.

shit, she's still almost naked!! WHY. this is worse than scepter 4's tsundere woman! ]

Put some clothes on!

[dishonorstudent]

Hmph! Who made you the chairman of the disciplinary committee? I can wear what I want and this is my strongest form, so deal with it, Misaki Yata!

[ Not that... she appreciates the erotic attention this outfit garners, nor does she pay mind to any attempts at shaming her. Embracing this form is empowering, while feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment results in Senketsu drinking more blood in order to maintain this synchronization. We can't have the latter lest Fushimi wants to carry two passed out party members. ]

[swordplays]

[All he wants right now is to log out. So, so badly. But leaving these two fools would be a terrible idea even if he could, so he just clears his throat very loudly.]

Stop it, both of you. Misaki, quit acting like a virgin, and you stop antagonizing him. We should be able to get through this with a lot less yelling.
