[Minato was never one to ignore rumors--and that is what brings him to go seeking out others. He often talks to people; it's no trouble to try to find new people to speak with.
[ He is quite different, really. There is something of an air about him, never mind the flower tucked neatly into his uniform. Of course, Jun may love people, but that doesn't mean he's fond of being around them.
... Nevertheless, he puts on a smile. ]
Is there something you need?
[ He finds himself wondering... what is this boy's dream? Surely, he can find out easily enough. ]
[ He gives a small chuckle of amusement. Deny it? Of course not. But he won't outright omit to not knowing it; after all, he's a resident of Sumaru city. If you don't know the latest gossip here, you're deaf. ]
Rumors travel far more quickly in Sumaru than some cities. The people enjoy gossip, even if they pretend they don't... but as there have been more than a few of late... well, it's hard to know which you mean.
[First Strega and their occult nonsense, and now rumors about this Joker-sama are starting to spread, even here on Port Island. Yukari can't decide which is more annoying, really, but she knows it's got something to do with the visiting student from Sumaru. It couldn't be a coincidence, right?
She's walking along, grabbing her stuff out of her locker after Archery Club. Maybe idly thinking about what she'll have for dinner, whenever she makes it home...thinking about whether this new rumor would make their job harder or easier, fighting Shadows in Tartarus--
And then she sees him.
That is him, isn't it? She recognizes most of the faces that show up around Gekkoukan...but not his. Not quite, anyway, so she assumes it must be. She studies him for a while, observing out of the corner of her eye without saying anything at first...]
[ He certainly is an odd one, this boy, wandering about a bit and looking at some flowers? Not many boys are the type to do that.
In fact his appearance might remind you quite a bit of Minato's, though things are decidedly different in parting and coloring when it comes to his hair and eyes. He also happens to have a flower in his shirt, tucked safely away.
This girl probably had a great deal of dreams. Yes, the best ones were usually always teenagers.
But there would be no way of knowing how useful she would be or if he could gain more from Port Island without approaching the people here, would there? So he approaches Yukari and offers her a flower of his own--jasmine, to be specific. ]
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but notice you were watching me... though if I may hope, the flowers are far nicer to look at than me, so perhaps you were enjoying them as I was?
[ His tone is not flirtacious, rather, it is closer to gentle and curious and polite. ]
In truth, she does not notice the flowers. Not until the boy brings them over, holding one out in front of her. It actually surprises her at first, and she stares as if she doesn't know what to do--but she recovers quickly enough, and takes it in her hand.
You would've thought it poison, the way she looked at it. But she sniffs it innocently, casting him a casual glance.]
...Maybe. Am I supposed to be impressed you noticed?
I can promise you there's nothing poisonous about Jasmine. It's actually meant to convey cheer and grace, or that you believe the person you've given it to has those qualities... when it comes to flowers, there is no need to impress someone. I think they're impressive all on their own. They don't need me to show you that.
[ By which he means he has no intent of flirting with you, Yukari, and is merely gayer than a certain district of California striking up conversation.
... He can tell, this is a young girl with dreams and ideals. Perhaps one he might find useful. Port Island was an untapped area, after all. His expression is cheerful-seeming, though... you probably get the feeling this boy isn't very average. Quite unusual, really. One wonders what he's thinking, but he merely motions to the flower he gave Yukari. ]
I haven't visited Port Island before now, but it's nice here. ... Of course, I still think the local flora deserve your attention more than me, but I'm going to guess you wanted to ask me something, like the others?
[ yuno gasai isn't very interested in rumors - but this one was holding her interest for some indeterminable reason. certain things about it pinged her, or so you might say, and that was probably what initially set her off on this test.
a cell phone-
a game-
these were like keywords for her. would it work if it were her cell phone? she isn't sure, but it's worth a try!
the call, the incantation... the steps were simple enough, but the result-? regardless, she did have something to wish for. ]
HERE'S JOHNNY--floralfacsimileNovember 21 2011, 06:28:29 UTC
[ As the rumors hint, the Phone dials, when it should not.
A few seconds later, it even picks up. But there is no voice on the other end, no; there is silence... even as he appears right behind her, out of thin air. A strange genie indeed, perpetually smiling... you'd best tell him your dreams, Yuno, or you may find yourself disappearing forever. As it (?) speaks, it's voice seems to... echo unnaturally around the room. ]
I am the final Trump Card of those who have emptied their deck of playable hands... those whose anguished dreams remain unfulfilled... Joker.
[ And then he is in front of her, a teleportation occurring. This is obviously something (someone?) not normal. Possibly even inhuman...
There is a flourishing movement, a sort of almost-bow. ]
You have called me here... now, tell me your ideals...
lmskldjfl i had HERE'S JOHNNY-- in my inbox for the longest time freaking me outlovecrazyDecember 4 2011, 23:52:37 UTC
[ ah-! it worked! something she hadn't been entirely expecting, but also something she hadn't ruled out. the man before her is masked, but she doesn't care about that- it's not about who's behind the maks, but what they can do ... what they can do for her. a trump piece in this game-
ha, he'd even said it himself. ]
I really only have one interest- I want to be Yukiteru Amano's bride.
[ straight to the point- she really doesn't want to waste this man's time, after all. he didn't seem the type to appreciate that- she could be wrong, but she really doesn't want to test. especially when her words are honest- she really only has one interest... ]
