Who: Yoichi Kuramochi

basesteal & Various
When: Various dates... Throughout July
Where: Various
What: Kuramochi's out and about
Rating/Warning: PG-13 bc Kuramochi is a potty mouth

[ A; shop area ]
[ Kuramochi wasn't involved in whatever a handful of people went through, but with the weird elemental effect thingy going on, He's a little more moodier than usual. He needs distractions, so he decides he would go acquire a CYbuddy.

What specific animal he should get, though, was still up in the air as he's now at the shop, gazing at all the choices. He wants something cool-looking, but he keeps glancing at the tiny cheetah one sitting off to the side... ]

[ B; working ]
[ It's one of those days where the other person who was supposed to be working their shift doesn't show up. Kuramochi was supposed to take off early, but now he's stuck acting as the store mascot for the entire day. He's tired from not getting proper sleep, so this mishap is making him grouchier than usual.

Thankfully, no one needs to hear him talk or see his glaring face while wearing the mascot suit, but if he gets stuck with moronic customers trying to mess around with him, he'd end up giving them a kick or two from behind...

Feel free to call out on his rude behavior while he's on breaks. ]

[ C; baseball practice ]
[ It's been a month since he first ended up in Cerealia. And during that month he's gotten a chance to work up his own schedule for training even without a baseball team to have proper practice with. He's been having morning and afternoon runs, as well as swinging practice whenever he doesn't have anything going on aside from his various part-time jobs.

From time to time, his CYbuddy would be nearby distracting him from his practice as it attacks his leg. ]

...Hey! Watch it!

[ Closed to Zono sweated; apartments, early July ]
[ When Yoichi first ran into his teammate, he wasn't sure if he'd end up in the same place after the ViViD. For all he knew, the whole encounter might have been the virtual reality, just like with the senpai yelling at the fellow vice captain. So Yoichi was definitely surprised to see Zono still around even after the ViViD event ended. And naturally, he offered to share the apartment space. He didn't exactly go to contact Miyuki about it, but with how they ended up in this strange place, Yoichi figured the captain wouldn't disagree with this. Since he hasn't taken a look at the contacts list, he doesn't know Seido's captain no longer is around in Cerealia.

So now they're at their apartment, letting Zono in as he opens the door. ]

Here's where we're stayin'. The Cerevice kinda does everything with the layout shit, so if you got some specifics we can change around once Miyuki comes back from wherever the hell he's at.

[ Or Wildcard! ]

[His compulsion to call out to the dude getting mauled (okay, mildly harassed) by his . . . that's not a cat . . .

Aaanyway, his compulsion to approach this guy isn't far removed from the compulsion that leads him to hang around the baseball fields some days in the first place. He likes being outside, he tells himself. He's bored, he tells himself. It's not because I wanna play baseball or anything! he tells himself. And yet here he is anyway, taking yet another walk that just happens to have him in the vicinity of the batting cages, again.

It doesn't mean anything.

He could totally choose not to engage with some dude who obviously likes baseball, too, but that isn't the choice he makes. He's drawn to say something, no matter what he wants to think the reason is. Admittedly, a guy taking swings with a miniature cheetah hanging around him? Is a much better reason than he might have made up himself if he needed an excuse. It's, like, an actual compelling thing to discuss!

So he veers in that direction, crossing his arms as he gives this bizarre scene a once-over and snorts.]

Dude . . . you oughta be thanking that thing. You've got the choice here between friggin' baseball and a tiny cheetah and you're standin' here with a bat in your hand! It's, like, an intervention!

[Kenta's been trying to come to terms with what seems to be his new life. Almost everyone here is a stranger and while the people he's met so far seem nice enough, none of them are familiar. It just makes him extra glad for friendly familiar faces, and that's how he's choosing to class Kuramochi at least. Miyuki's a whole other thing but Miyuki's also conspicuously absent from the apartment.

Well, more or less. Kenta'd think Miyuki was just another game-induced hallucination or simulation if not for the poster of him in the apartment. Kenta glances between that and Kuramochi as he takes in the rest of the apartment.]

Even for Miyuki, that's ridiculous.

C; pre-Interlude
