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. ]

Oh, that one's fun on multiplayer!
no subject
Really? I've never heard of this game before...
[ she's not sure if she trusts herself with a dancing game though. ]
Which one is your favorite?
1/2
no subject
I, uh, tested it. Before. And stuff.
no subject
Ah, I think I've heard of something like that back home! It sounds similar to those mass multiplayer online games.
[ it's funny how she's never had time to play them much despite how much time she spends on the computer. life is hard when you're in SEES. ]
These cost credits to play, right? I think I'll give that one a try.
no subject
Wait, hold the phone. She wants to try it? Alone? Or... with him!? He's confused. Maybe she'll walk away soon. He'll find out by then. ]
Yeah... Fifty per play. Um... you're new, right? I'm Yata.
no subject
Yata-san, right? [ adding the -san because even though she doesn't really know how old he is, he kind of reminds her of shinji so. you know. gotta show the thugs some respect. ] It's nice to meet you! I'm Fuuka.
And yes, I'm new. [ but ah... this is a little nerve-wracking... ] Um, if you have time, would you mind maybe giving me a brief tutorial? I'm sure I'll be able to pick it up quickly, I've played a little back home, but I figured since you've tested them you'd be the one to ask...
[ is that too forward?? she hopes it's not. if anything the worst that could happen is he'd say no, so... it's worth a shot. ]
no subject
Me?
[ He points at himself in disbelief. It catches him off-guard because, what? A girl other than Saya and Yang wants to play ViViD with him? Why!?
No, now's not the time to complain. He's technically her Cerealia senpai! He should be helpful and show her the ropes. ]
I mean, yeah! Yeah, I can... do that. F-Fuuka-san. [ Just making sure he got her name right... ]
no subject
she's a little taken aback by his disbelief at first (should she have clarified more??), but she relaxes with a grateful smile once he agrees. ]
Okay! Thank you, Yata-san.
[ just gonna go dig in her wallet for her card... ]
Um, so I just use this, right?
no subject
[ It might look like he's angry, but he's only frowning in embarrassment. He'll just walk ahead. ]
... C'mon!
no subject
[ she scurries over to follow him, trying to steal glances at his face and wondering if he's mad at her. maybe he's just really embarrassed? he seems flustered...
which is great, she supposes, since she's always nervous around strangers too. ]
Thank you, again.
no subject
Mm. No problem.
[ If his cheeks are red, he swears it's just the cold. Don't think he isn't conscious of what's happening around him, though. ]
... Hey. What're you lookin' at? [ He sputters. ] Don't look at me!
[ Because he's only getting more and more nervous by the second. ]
sorry for the wait!
S-Sorry! I just... [ just what? ] Um, I mean, did I say something to make you upset? I didn't mean to offend you.
[ how does she thug. even shinjiro isn't really like this. what does she do.... ]
no subject
Ugh, i-it's not like I'm mad. You didn't do nothin', so uh... Don't worry... and stuff. [ A beat, then he raises his voice. ] Look! We're here.
[ HE'S GETTING IN, BYE. Fuuka should follow. ]
no subject
[ if he's sure! but ah, he's already getting in. fuuka hurries along behind him, sticking her card in the slot to start the game. hopefully yata won't have to carry her too much. ]
no subject
...
[ That's weird, why is it still loading? Yata's getting fidgety. ]
Hurry up, dammit...
