Hey guys, it's Yosuke. I just thought I'd check in, see how everyone's doing. I know it's been sort of rough lately, so...

[PARK - EVENING - OPEN]

[He's been coming here a lot lately. It really

Park

[tenebrousking]

[It is, perhaps, less peaceful than Yosuke may hope it to be. He probably doesn't want the round to be rumbling under his feet, at any rate, but it unfortunately begins to do so sometime during his meditations.]

[princeofjunes]

[No, the rumbling ground usually isn't on the list of things he wants, and the boy practically leaps off the chair, looking around. Is it an earthquake? How likely are the trees to fall and crush him? Why does this crap always happen to him...]

[tenebrousking]

[His guess is fairly close to the mark, though luckily, it isn't an actual earthquake. No, just a 200 pound red alligator breaking out of the ground somewhere nearby and grinning viciously.

Yosuke doesn't seem to have much luck with Grimsley's Pokemon.]

[princeofjunes]

[His jaw simply drops at the gigantic alligator as he stops and stares. It doesn't seem like something the town would do, so he's not terrified enough to run or fight it - but seriously.

A GIANT RED ALLIGATOR?!

What is this. What is his life.]

phone

[kickassncrafts]

I'm fine I guess.

[Not really all that fine, he checks Naoto's drone regularly. BUT NO ONE HAS TO KNOW.]

[princeofjunes]

You sure?

I've been a little worried about you, man. I haven't seen you much.

[kickassncrafts]

I've been around, maybe we just missed each other.

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, maybe.

You know I'm a dad now, right?

park

[bridesearching]

[ Millie sure likes to come down to the park. It's all fun, lots of fun things to do - and hey, look, Yosuke's there, just as he was once before! And seeing him, she gives him a wave and calls out. ]

[princeofjunes]

[There's no way he could ever forget Millie - she leaves quite an impression. But it must have at least been a decent one because Yosuke smiles at her, waving her over.]

Millie! It's been a while! Come on over, we'll catch up!

[bridesearching]

[ And she comes over, glad to see that he looks happy from what she sees. The prospect of catching up sounds exciting, too - it has been a while!

So, when she finally reaches him - ] Have you been up to lots? How are you??

[princeofjunes]

[Oh Millie, cheerful as last time! Is she always this way? Yosuke hopes so - and he hopes she never changes. The world needs more bright spots like her.]

I'm good! You know it feels like I've been busy? But it's been the same boring crap mostly - a lot of dull work.

What about you? You look good!

[femtags]

Don't worry, Yosuke, I'm fine! I'm a lot tougher than I look!

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, I know you're tough! But even with my headphones, you're not invincible.

You sure there's nothing bothering you?

[femtags]

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't!

There are some things that are bothering me but...there are still some things that I have to figure out first.

[princeofjunes]

Well... look, I know I'm probably not the best person in the world to talk to.

But if you want it, I'm here for you. Okay?

[flameyedhunter]

Of course I'm fine you moron

[princeofjunes]

Well, it's not like I was that worried about you.

But while you're here, you sure there's nothing bugging you? I know I'm not the best person to talk to, but I thought I'd offer.

[flameyedhunter]

Pfff, so there was someone you ~were worried about?~

[princeofjunes]

Is it so wrong for a guy to worry about his friends? I know a few people have had a rough couple weeks, so I thought I'd try and give everyone I could a hand.
