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. ]

Hooooh, lucky. Out of those three options? It's barely even a competition.
[who wouldn't want to get paid to play video games all day gosh]
So which game would you recommend the most?
no subject
[ His hand passes through the holographic ad as he gestures to it. ]
Last Legend XXV! They say it's been in development before I got here, but I got to test out the battle system and it's way different from the last twenty-four. It kinda plays like Empire Arts, but it's got a more Heaven's Edge feel to it, you know?
[ yata what are you talking about ]
... Hold on, I ain't seen you before. You new?
no subject
Empire what and Heaven's huh?
[yeah he lost you there yata]
"New" is one way to put it, sure! [a casual shrug, and kaito stuffs his hands into his pockets] I just got here a couple of days ago. S'not that difficult to settle into weird futuristic sci-fi living, though.

It was 2015 back on my planet. World? Y'know. . . [he waves his hand in a vague gesture] Place where I came from.
'M not expecting the years to line up exactly with everyone I meet here, though. Heck, some people probably come from worlds where they don't even count the years, right?
sorry this is late! was busy with finals
[ ... 2015, and he looks human. He's pretty sure they're from the same blue planet. HE SQUINTS. ]
Wait a minute. If Earth's gone, how the fuck are you here?
no problem! PUNCH FINALS IN THE FACE-- I mean
The same way you're here? Heck if I know how it works! How many Earths d'you think exist in all of the universes represented in this city?
no, that's pretty much what i'm gonna do
[ It's like in those American comic books. ...He doesn't want to think about it! ]
Well, anyway. [ He points at the display. ] You playing?
excellent show those finals who is boss!1
'Course I am! I haven't give this thing a whirl since I got here a few days ago.
[and there's no better time to try something out than the present]
will do!
[ Yata tends to charge into things alone, though... ]
no subject
So they say. [already digging through his pockets for some credits]
I'm almost a little jealous we didn't have video games like this back home. . .
no subject
[ Robots don't try to kill you back home... ]
no subject
[he hasn't been here long enough for that]
I'm pretty attached to my home world, anyway.

[lifts a hand in a mock salute in greeting]
Just Kaito is fine with me.
no subject
[ And in they go to ViViD! There's a list of scenarios available; all they have to do is tap and pick. ]
You ready?
no subject
Ready as I'll ever be! Press the start button and let's get this show on the road.
no subject
[ He hits "START" and their surroundings immediately transform. It looks like they've landed themselves in a place similar to 19th century London... With 21st century cars. Unfortunately, they don't have one, which is why stealing one is their first mission. ]
Grand theft auto already?
[ He's complaining now, but at the same time, he's looking around for a nice car on the road to grab. ]
You know how to drive?
[ It's. It's just a question. ]
no subject
[he's also keeping his eye on the people, because getting caught stealing a car is something nobody wants to happen]
Sure I can. [he probably knows how to hotwire a car too, honestly]
Why, you can't?
no subject
[ He's fidgeting as he says that, though. ]
That one, up ahead.
[ He nods his head toward something in the distance. It's a sleek, red car possibly worth billions in real life. But it's moving fast! The plate number tells them it's owned by someone high-profile. ]
