[nipzips]

oh yeah that's why i always see you walking about in morioh and doing random crap

must be nice to have so much free time

[penpoint]

I understand it might be hard for you to know what it's like to be good enough at something that you get to take some time off.

[nipzips]

[ WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that stings even worse because he doesn't actually have anything he's good enough at to brag about. ]

i'm only 16!!!!!

[ that's his excuse anyway. ]

[penpoint]

And I had manga at 16. Maybe someday you'll find something you're good at.

[nipzips]

[ He's good at beating the crap out of assholes!!!! But no, no, he won't say that. It's not something to be proud of. ]

... i bet i could kick your ass at games

[ He actually doesn't know if he could or not. He's not fantastic at games. Hopefully, Rohan is worse. ]

[doreimi]

Oh! Be careful, did it get you?

[Suddenly, competing priorities: save the cats, but also worry about Josuke and his freshly-swatted hand.]

I don't have a bandage...hang on, maybe I at least have some tissues...

[She unshoulders her backpack, digging around in the pouches until she finds a half-empty travel pack of Kleenex and offers it to him.]

[grilletto]

well i figured it didn't need to be said
but just in case, you know?

i'm glad someone else sees it my way, there's no point in going cheap when it comes to clothes
you're not just paying for the name or the style, but for the quality
it's about quality!

[penpoint]

Do you think I'm going to gamble with you?

[nipzips]

yeah man!! and if you buy that cheap shit then it just tears or something, then aren't you just wasting your money anyway?? might as well get the good quality stuff from the very beginning


-- i mean, i could probably fix any torn clothes, but the principle's the same [ itt:two broke boys justify their lavish choices. ]

[nipzips]

it's okay to admit it when you think you'll lose

not even you can win it all, rohan-sensei

[ Rohan was being childish before. He's allowed to be childish now. ]

[nipzips]

[ The triple moon must be messing around with him right now, because there's a part of him that wants Reimi to tend to his scratch for him. Josuke shakes his head and accepts the tissues. ] It's fine, just a little scratch.

[ He takes the offered tissue and presses it against his small wound. ] I probably gave the guy a scare. I don't really know how to handle cats -- not even Stray Cat seemed to like me that much when I'd visit Okuyasu at his place.

[ Josuke's never kept a pet, so he doesn't have much experience handling animals. ]

[doreimi]

[WHAT A GOOD NEEDY BOY. That probably refers to Josuke, as opposed to the cat.]

I've only ever had Arnold, but I think cats are kind of particular. You can't just reach for them and expect them to like it. You have to let them warm up to you first.

[She crouches down as if to prove her point, near the cat but not quite looking at it, keeping the majority of her attention focused on Josuke to stay nonthreatening in the cats' perception.]

It's not that different from dealing with somebody really tsundere, honestly!

[...no wonder josuke isn't that great at it...]

[nipzips]

Tsundere ... [ He doesn't read manga so it does take a few seconds for him to remember what that means. ]

Oh yeah. People who are nice but don't act that way, huh? I don't get those people. If you actually are a nice person, why not just act like it?

[ But maybe he's far too straightforward and honest about his feelings to really understand such people. Josuke gives another glance at the cat, who hisses at him immediately. He then purses his lips in a small sulky expression and backs off a little, letting Reimi take the lead in this. ]

[doreimi]

[C'mon Josuke get with the PROGRAM]

They might be afraid of having their feelings hurt, you know. A sensitive sort of person might put up a cold front to keep people at arm's length in the beginning, but then let them get closer over time.

[She steals a glance at the cat out of the corner of her eye, gauging how far away it is, and tries to hold still as best she can.]

Like the cat. He might be a perfectly nice cat, but right now he's got no reason to trust us, and we're a lot bigger than he is. It's hard to blame him for being suspicious. He doesn't know we're trying to help him.

[nipzips]

[ It was hard for him to understand those people, but her explanation makes sense. Josuke can't say he relates that much though, because he's self-assured enough to brush hurt feelings off easily.

He turns to the cat now, and it hisses at him again. ] Guess you're right. I must be as big as Mt. Fuji from that little guy's perspective.

[ He knows he's tall and broad. ] How do we get them outta that box then?

[doreimi]

Well, they have a little food left, so they're probably not hungry right now, or I'd say we could try to lure them out that way. Right now I'm just hoping they'll get curious and start trying to see what we're doing here.

[While Josuke's cat continues to be wary of him, the orange cat pokes its head out of the box, intrigued by the commotion, and after a minute or so, starts to inch out to try to investigate what might be going on.]

Shhh. Don't startle him...

[nipzips]

R-Right. Uh, I'll try not to move. [ Since he assumes he's going to mess things up if he does. He's never been good with animals and doesn't really know much about how to deal with them. Stray Cat doesn't seem to like him that much back home, and the only reason Police likes him is because he's too old to have enough energy to be hostile at anyone. ]

What should we do? [ Pick the kitty up once it's comfortable enough? ]

[doreimi]

Mm. We'll probably need to find something to carry them in. I guess we can take them to my apartment? Arnold will be okay with it, I think. At least for a little while.

[Painstakingly slowly, the orange cat creeps closer and closer, until eventually it's close enough to lightly sniff at the air close to Reimi and Josuke.]

A backpack probably wouldn't be good for something like that...

[penpoint]

I don't think I'll lose. [ He's not anything special at games, but he has to be better than Josuke, right? ] But no thanks, Josuke. If I lose stuff here in a fire, I'll have to have Chroma to replace it.

[ He worked hard enough to get what he had! And in case Josuke was curious if he was still salty. ]

[nipzips]

[ Will he ever not be salty, tho? ]

what the fuck?? i'm not planning to set your shit on fire! that wasn't even my fault

[grilletto]

i knew i liked you for a reason
i think we've got a lot in common, it's kinda nice

[nipzips]

i feel ya dude

not a lot of people can understand. my mom always gets on my case for the stuff i buy

[grilletto]

if you're spending your own money
it shouldn't matter what you're buying with it

[nipzips]

Crazy Diamond could probably carry the whole box with them inside, but I don't know how much they'd like that.

[ Not at all, Josuke. They would not like that at all. Crazy Diamond would just get scratched, and that means Josuke would too. Hmm. What to do about this? Josuke looks around, before he spots something in the alleyway and makes his way toward it. There's the sound of one of Crazy Diamond's 'DORAs'!

When he returns, he'll be pushing what looks like an empty baby carriage. Clearly one that was thrown away. ] What d'ya think? It was all busted up, so someone threw it away, but one touch from Crazy Diamond and it's as good as new! [ A beat, then to himself: ] Though, it's kinda gross to be touching trash.

[ He thumbs at his handiwork, giving a little wink and looking very proud of himself. Please praise him!!! He wants to be told he did a good job :( ]

[nipzips]

yeah that's exactly what i'm saying!! it's not like i make her buy shit for me

[ granted, he begs and whines sometimes, but ... Mista doesn't need to know that. ]

anyway, i'm thinking dude ... since you gotta feed your stand for some reason [ yeah, he totally wants to see that. ] and we both can appreciate some high quality goods, we're gonna need lots of chroma, y'know?

don't you think we oughta form a relationship that'll make both of us happy? [ he's fairly oblivious to how questionable that sounds, sadly. he just wants a chroma-making fwb to hug, hold and carry around. ]
