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. ]

[ Scoffing, she twirls the microphone in her hands, clearing her throat to prepare herself. While she's not all that confident in her dancing due to having no experience in it, her singing is decent enough to get high scores when she goes to karaoke.
The dance doesn't seem to be anything complicated- the game works similar enough to games she's seen back at home - Just Dance, anybody? - but it wasn't as if she played games like this before, if at all. They seemed to be games that you wouldn't want to play with yourself, that you'd want to play with friends, after all.
So she didn't bother.
But while her singing's not bad, she's not doing so hot on that front. While she's not doing terribly, she seems to get some of the hand gestures wrong as well as some of the turns.
What a pain. She's not going to give up, though!! ]
no subject
Until he opens his mouth to sing.
It's not exactly recording artist material. Or karaoke material. Or... lullaby material... When a laser cannon hits due to his failure, his side of the stage flashes red, which makes him go— ]
Shit!
[ Before they sing a duet for the chorus. At least he knows the tune to this one. ]
no subject
And then they get to the chorus. Alright, this shouldn't be too hard. As long as she knows the lyrics and the melody, this should be a cinch! And she's even matching tempo quite nicely.
Not bad. ]
no subject
[ He'd shove her, but she's not Fushimi and he's not a total asshole.
Everything fixes itself during the chorus. Even Yata doesn't sound so bad despite his lack of vocal talent... until the boss appears. The squid-like alien mothership looks ready to fire its cannons at them at any moment, but Yata follows the rhythm perfectly and notes well enough to rank A by the end of it all. A, not S—his singing is what's stopping him from being a true idol master. ]
no subject
Inaba herself seems to have gotten a pretty decent score to get an A herself -- it's not a high A, considering that she flubbed the dancing (a little) but her singing was top notch to make up for it -- but it's enough. Gritting her teeth in frustration, she can't help but sigh when it's all over. ]
Damn it... [ Clicking her tongue indignantly, she can't help but be a little frustrated. ]
no subject
[ Yata's only a little more annoyed than Inaba, kicking the hologram in frustration before walking it off in circles. As it turns out, Inaba's score at singing is better than his. They beat the aliens, so the NPCs tell them it's okay! But he can't let it go. ]
Hey, two out of three!
no subject
[ Although she gives a dubious look at Yata as she gives several breaths in and out. She's somewhat exhausted from that, not used to strenuous activity. But she is stubborn. She doesn't care that the NPCs are fine with all of this. To her, that doesn't matter. ]
Okay, but this time I'll max both things out. I'm pretty sure I've got the hang of this.
