Date & Time: January 7, late morning
Location: city outskirts
Characters: Yosuke Hanamura, Misaki Yata and (later) Kougyoku Ren
Summary: A loser wants a loser to meet a loser.
Warnings: losers and some swearing

[ At around 9am, Yosuke and Yata will get this message: ]

Hello! Will you meet me at the city outskirts at 10? I have something to show you☆

[ At 10, not in 10. Don't rush.

Should they arrive, however, Kougyoku is nowhere to be found. Maybe she's running a little late? No, she's just hiding behind some trees in a forest, close enough to listen in on their conversation. See, she has never introduced friends to other friends before, so she figures that having them meet on their own is the best way to do it...

Ah! Is someone coming? Kougyoku peers in from her hiding spot to see who it is. ]


( OOC: Tagging order is Yosuke > Yata > Kougyoku, but she won't be showing up in a long while so go ahead and skip her for the time being! )

[ How is he still surprised at this happening.

... Kou-chan, what did I say about hiding in weird places?!

[ He shakes his head and sighs, eyes on Kougyoku after Yosuke asked the million dollar question. This was a really weird meeting. ]

[redsea]

[ She turns away as she stifles her laughter. Poor Yosuke...

But then they figure it out and now she's a little embarrassed. They were supposed to go with the flow, it made better sense in her head... ]

Yata! [ Hits his arm! ] Don't tell Yosuke about that!

...I didn't know how to introduce you, and I was afraid of what would happen if you didn't like each other. And I [ looks away again ] wanted to watch.

[juneshero]

Hiding in weird places? [then he winces when Kougyoku hits Yata. Welp, forget bringing that up again]

... You could have just introduced us? I mean, I'm not picky. [though Yata looks and sounds like he's from a gang. It's fine though; Kanji was the same way and look at how he turned out! What a bro]

Wait. [Yosuke turns red because WATCH WHAT?! A fight where Yosuke gets his ass grassed? frantically whispering no homo] What is there to even watch!?

[battering]

[ Wow, harsh. Yata rubs his arm when she hits him, even though it's really nothing major. ]

Wouldn't it have been worse if we didn't like each other and you didn't come out fast enough?

[ He doesn't want to scold her too much, though... and they're in front of someone else and he's too shy to pat her head and tell her it's okay, so he settles for the next best thing-- ]

Haaaa, whatever, I guess it doesn't really matter now! Your plan ended up working since Yosuke and I are friends now after such a short time. Right, Yosuke?

[ read: if you don't agree and end up hurting Kougyoku's feelings, i'm gonna punch you in the mouth. ]

[redsea]

Mm... [ They had a point. It was just her being dumb again. Also she wanted to watch them be friends but that was embarrassing to say. ]

Really? Is that true, Yosuke? [ ...yeah, she's hoping for a yes. ]

[juneshero]

Wha-? Of course. [he wasn't paying attention - learn to read the atmosphere, Yosuke! - but he was as much of a loser with regards to friends as Kougyoku was so really]

I mean, I've had weirder starts to friendships. First time I met Partner was when [uh...] he pulled me out of a trashcan I crashed into. And now we're best friends.

[YEAH, LOSERS]

[battering]

[ They were stuck in a triangle of loserdom and there was no getting out. ]

That's almost too weird... mm, but not a bad thing either! [ shrugs; friendships happened in a bunch of different ways, so who was he to judge if Yosuke liked to crash into garbage cans? ]

[redsea]

[ Kougyoku covers her mouth when she laughs. ]

Haha, yeah! Yata and I became friends because of a misunderstanding, but it worked out.

I'm glad you're friends now. It would be awful if you didn't get along... See, Yosuke, I knew you could do it! [ Because this was all really a plan to help Yosuke make friends in the first place. ]

[juneshero]

Knew I could do what?

[HE HAS FRIENDS!! They're just... not here. And he's kind of useless without the protagonist's reassuring presence]
