►Phone 「 768 Bunker Street ∆ Morning 」

So, anybody doing anything fun for the summer? ...Not that there's really much to do in this town, but eh. I bought of couple of huge watermelons the other day. I've also got some leftover fireworks and booze from the fourth of July, apparently. Maybe we could have a mini-yard party? I mean, there's no way we

Action 1

[princeofjunes]

[To be honest, Yosuke has no idea why he's even here. There's things for him to celebrate, sure, but he's in no mood to do so. Especially here, with a droned Naoto lurking around somewhere.

And then there's Adachi.

Just thinking of him for too long makes Yosuke feel sick. So why even show up at his party? Deep down, he knows the answer - because Souji trusted him, and now he doesn't have Souji to lean on. He just hates admitting it, so he'll eat some watermelon and try to look inconspicuous.]

[iheartcabbage]

[Given recent events, Adachi really didn't expect any of the Inaba crew to show up. Well, what was left of them. So part of him is actually happy to see the kid, while the other part is... pretty unsure on what to think or do. Should he say something, or should he just leave the kid alone? The question nags at him until he finally says something stupid.]

Good stuff, huh? [And award for most awkward conversation starter goes to...]

[princeofjunes]

[It's pretty clear from the way he looks at Adachi he still doesn't know what to think of him. On the one hand, it's hard to distance Adachi now from Adachi the insane bastard.]

[But Yosuke's been here a few months now, and really, Adachi hasn't done anything to get his notice in a bad way. He's only been straight with them, as far as he knows. Souji risked letting his guard down, and they're equals.]

[Right?]

... it's not bad, for this place. [A sigh. Even if he can try to get past their history, he still doesn't have a clue what to say to Adachi]

So... nice party.

And due to stupidity I completey missed this notif. ffff.

[iheartcabbage]

I guess, If you can really call it that. At least some people seem to be enjoying themselves?

[...You know, he really shouldn't even be bring this up. But it's going to keep bugging the hell out of him if he doesn't say something.]

Look, if I'm still giving you or any of the kids any bad vibes... I'll stay out of your business. The last thing I want to do is make an uncomfortable situation worse.

Tis all good!

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke looks almost relieved that Adachi's the one to have brought it up.]

No!

... no. You're not. Which makes me mad because I want to just stay angry at you for being a murdering bastard. [He sighs]

But you've actually been a decent guy while we've been here. And I might not want to believe you've changed, but. I think you actually have.

[iheartcabbage]

Yeah, it's still a huge mess. For a while there, I was starting to get pissed that you kids didn't even want to give me a chance. But, at the same time? I tried placing myself in your shoes. It makes all the difference. I'm just some crazy asshole who murdered two people for no reason. I mean, murder is wrong in the first place, but then I didn't even have a god damn reason. I just did it.

[Just gonna lower his head now. His can of beer is already empty and he really doesn't feel like getting another.]

I think that's why he's haunting me. Every night since I got him back, I've been dreaming of him. He doesn't really do anything other than stare at me. And I mean, you kids saw him. He's... pretty damn creepy and intimidating. He doesn't want me to forget. ...Not that I ever could in the first place.

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke didn't know Adachi's been haunted by his persona. Then again, there's a lot that Yosuke doesn't know about Adachi, especially considering he never gave him a chance.

... what the hell is he thinking, giving that bastard a chance?! Dammit...]

Alright. I'll just get it out there.

I can never forgive you for what you did. Ever.

... but I won't ignore the fact that you're trying to change. And when this place has so many of us droned like now, I don't want to see it take another single person. Not even you.

So I'll try to treat you like a person and not a giant ass. Just don't expect it to be easy, alright?

[iheartcabbage]

[Hey, he wasn't going to complain. It was better than being constantly hated, after all.]

Yeah, I understand. And I appreciate it. So, how about another slice of watermelon?

[princeofjunes]

[It's not the brightest smile, but Yosuke finally lets himself show one as his mind and body relax from that torrent of emotion]

Sounds good to me. Even this place can't ruin watermelon.
