open!
Who: Yata
rollin & you!
When: at various times between December 13 and 15
Where: various
What: Yata sucks at gardening, looks for people to play vivid with, has a tendency to run into people with meet cutes, etc.
Rating/Warning: PG because of language
a; it sounds like a joke; "a thug walks into a flower shop..." (shopping district)
[ Someone like Yata into indoor gardening is a rare sight, so he is met with a few raised eyebrows as walks down the streets with a pot of forget-me-nots in his hands, wilting due to reasons one can already guess from appearances alone. He seems particularly worried about his current predicament though, and if you're close enough, you might hear him talk to himself. ]
Where the hell is the plant doctor? Do those even exist? Why are flowers so high maintenance, anyway? [ No, Yata, you're just wrong. He sighs. ] I'm so dead...
[ He's this close to just asking Totsuka.
OR! You can find him at an NPC-run flower shop, (but not the one Vietnam works at!) fidgeting awkwardly. ]
b; it feels like he waited nine long years (game center)
[ There's a holographic display advertising the new available scenarios in ViViD! One of them is called Last Legend XXV, in which up to four players can explore an open-world environment, fight monsters and complete quests as they go on a mission to seize their kingdom's crystal from the clutches of their enemies! New features include the ability to switch weapons during battle, vehicle travel... and camping...? Another is called Zokuzoku Remembrance, a new action/romance (!?) game that will get your heart pounding in more ways than one. It seems to be a straight up beat-'em-up game, but the ad also says you have to "fight for your love". What does that mean? Yata sure doesn't know. The last one is a more musical game called Star Show! in which you can sing, dance and fight aliens as an intergalactic super idol. While Yata has some reservations regarding the selection, he's just happy to see games he already knew about up there. ]
Hehe, I tested some of these! Man, the new Last Legend looks cooler now that it's finished...
[ OR! If you're alone, Yata might catch you looking at the display instead. Which ad is your character looking at? He'll definitely have something to say about it. ]
c; he'd punch them for you if he knew how to drive (anywhere)
[ Maybe you're busy on your Cerevice, texting your friends and browsing the network. Maybe you're way into this song on your music player, or need to get something that flew out of your grasp and onto the street. Maybe you're just a little out of it today. Whatever the reason, you're about to absentmindedly cross the road. However, a hand forcefully pulls you by the collar, the back of your shirt, or your wrist; and in the short instant it takes the traffic lights to change from red to green, a group of motorcycles zoom past you at an incredible speed. You're safe, but the voice behind you seems to be angrier than you should be. ]
Assholes... Hey, you okay?
[ Whether he looks frightening or genuinely concerned is a matter of perspective. (It's the latter.) ]
d; wildcard
[ Hit him up anywhere! He's most likely up and about, doing odd jobs, breakdancing for money, shopping for Christmas gifts, walking to the infirmary with injuries or skateboarding anxiously. Whatever, these are just a few ideas, GO CRAZY. ]

a; and the thug meets a lawyer
You don't need a plant doctor. You need to use your head. [His stare shifts to the flowers.]
there's a punchline here somewhere
I watered it everyday! [ Er, wait. Not past tense. ] Water. It's not dead!
[ He doesn't actually know if it is. ]
I hope it doesn't involve the thug punching the lawyer
that would be very ironic
The lawyer will just punch the thug back with a criminal charge
and not even an ace attorney can save him...
Oh well, try to plead for a lower sentence, thug-san
Seven years later, Yata escapes from prison--
TO EXACT REVENGE...or IDK just see if HOMRA's still hanging aroun

Oh Crow-chan! Such concern for an old turd like granny! No need to worry, though~
[ Because, you know, she's Granny Shihoudou. ] You coming to visit your dear granny? You could have just told me~! [ She won't wait for a reply, just pick Yata up under an arm and cross the road the way she had originally planned. Despite the traffic. Because it's totally normal to jump over and on top of said traffic, like they're a normal path, right? ]

I apologise, thank you Yata-san.

[that unfamiliar voice belongs to a scruffy-haired magician-- an occupation which is evident by the way he tucks a deck of cards and a few colorful scarves into his pockets before addressing Yata-- just finishing his last arcade performance for the day. his gaze flickers from Yata, to the holographic display, and back again]
How'd you manage to land a gig like that one?
no subject
You know how they let you pick a job when you get here? [ On his fingers, he lists off his options. ] Delivery boy, ice cream truck driver, ViViD game tester. Anyone would pick the last one, no question.

a: Attack of the Cute Highschool Girls
But Shiho is still home and anywhere she was Kaoru wanted to stay).
Still, they should get out from time to time, right?
Kaoru turns her head though when they walk past a guy talking...to his plant?
Okay. Whatever, she's seen weirder.
She stops though and turns around completely and grabs the guy's sleeve.]
Hey, I don't know a plant doctor but I know someone who's the next best thing. [She looks back.] Right, Shiho?
no subject
So she's not protesting at all as they go out to explore the Shopping District. They had credits to spend, after all.
She would have walked right past the guy talking to his plant though, because Kaoru....people talking to plants could be crazy!! (This doesn't count when they're talking to the squirrel back home because the squirrel could actually talk back.
Too bad she can't say no to Kaoru. (And she suspects that no one can.)
Still, she needs to give him a very skeptical look for being a plant-talker.]
Eh? Well....sure, I guess.

He sticks out like a sore thumb with his priest robes, height of six feet, and blue hair down to the ground. He turns to Yata with a solemn nod of his head. ] ...I am fine. Thank you.

Rather than staring at one of the many displays though, it seems to be staring right at Yata. ]
ah...
Hm, what's this? A new gimmick?
[ Why is it standing so still? Yata quickly closes the distance between them and does more than stare. In fact, he leans in to inspect every detail of the mascot, trying to look into its... dark, soulless eyes... ]
It gonna dance or somethin'? Probably a new robot...

Do you think the final product is good?

Either way, with his interests intact, it went without saying that whenever he could find a free moment, he wasted it either in ViVid or the game center, planning what to do next in ViVid. Obsessed? ...Nah. Just Noiz.
This time, though, there's one strange game he doesn't quite understand the purpose of - as indicated by the profound tilt of his head when he regards the advertisement.]
Action... romance? [A contemplating squint.] "Fight for your love"... huh?
[What is this even.]
no subject
Yata puts his hands behind his head and sighs. ]
I don't get it either, but looks like it's popular with the girls. I wonder why? The battle system ain't so bad.
[ YATA... Oh, but before this guy gets the wrong idea—! ]
Ah, I tested this one before they released it, so don't get any ideas! [ No one cares. ]
