Who:Okuyasu Nijimura and Josuke Higashikata
Broadcast: Open, Video
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: RIGHT NOW!!

[The video starts out with a very… distraught looking japanese school boy, who… actually looks kind of like a punk. Face marks, dollar signs on his chest, the words BILLION and MILLION on his sleeves…

Yeah. He looks like the kid of guy you don't want to meet in a dark alley. But that is all looks- because right now he looks like he's in near tears. To his right is another school boy about the same age as he is, his face only really showing up on the edge of the screen, but the pompadour on his head is taking up a lot of space on the feed above both of them.]]

They have vanilla!

Dude-

They have chocolate!

Hey-

They have spicy chili!

Man, chill-

Where is the strawberry flavor?! How am I supposed to deal with this, every morning, having only chocolate ice cream?! How am I supposed to start off the New Year this miserable??

[OKAY RELAX PAL, the other schoolboy moves closer to grab his shoulders, giving him a few shakes.]

Hey, c'mon! Don't freak! I'm sure they have strawberry somewhere. We'll...we'll just ask, alright? Chill out.

[So...he looks directly into the camera.]

Hey, yo, so...little help on the strawberry front? We can like....work something out, cuz we're new so we don't got any cash or nothin'.

( She holds up her hands in a slow down, stop motion. Honestly, it's hard for her to say. Augments or not, a lot of the credit system here is bizarre, what they each get depends on factors of entertainment that make no sense, and there's no way of knowing if the shopping network thing is valid or not. She'd prefer an honest to goodness market anyday. )

All right, all right, I'm not so sure? There's the shopping network thing that makes my head turn. As for dirt, maybe through there, too, and you'd want fertilizer... I think. Mandy always did, in the herb garden.

( Wracking her brain trying to think this through. )

I don't know if you'd have better luck at our next way-station or not. As for who's been growing vegetables, she sometimes wears this large bone mask, and she has freckles?

( ... for the life of anyone, her name just isn't coming to mind right now since I can't remember if they ever got to introductions )

[tfwnogf]

Way-Station...

[Another space thing. It's only beginning to kick in how far away he is from home.]

Bone mask and freckles? I guess I'll keep an eye out for her...

[Okuyasu sighs and leans on his hand, giving a glance over to Josuke.]

Hey so... there's really no way for us to talk to the people back where we're from, right?

[rebella]

No one seems to have found a way to do so, yet. I wouldn't say it's impossible... only very unlikely.

[tfwnogf]

This really isn't good... Josuke's mom is gonna worry about him, and I have to take care of my dad...

[rebella]

I'm sorry. That's a difficult situation to be in. I'm not even sure that... it's possible that our time here on the fleet passes differently than our time back home. I've heard something like that, and Nunnally might know, with how she was sent back home then brought back here the other day.

[tfwnogf]

What, we're doing time travel too? Aren't there like, rules against that? Like it's just something people aren't allowed to do??

[rebella]

( She lifts her hands up with palms shown as she shrugs. )

If it were magic, I'd say it's the big kind you wouldn't want to mess with, since it'll have a big effect somewhere else in the universe. I don't know if technology has the same give and take.

[tfwnogf]

Magic, huh...

[Maybe this is the work of a Stand, after all...? People who can't see Stands could contribute the way they work to magic, anyway.]

Hey, you ain't seen anyone around here doing like- weird stuff, right? Like doing things they shouldn't be able to?

[rebella]

( Like turning moose into rabbits or magicking them into walking away or managing to get a metric ton of freaking bobblehead ostriches on board??? Nawh that's all normal )

I think any answer to that depends on what I consider to be what someone shouldn't be able to do, versus what you believe. Have I seen incredible things here that I wouldn't back home? Oh yeah. Yet it's normal for them, so...

[tfwnogf]

I'm not talkin' about like, being able to do a flip on a skateboard or something. I mean like something really not normal! You'd know what I mean. Like if someone could... I dunno, turn into a pair of shoes or something.

[rebella]

... No. I haven't seen someone turn into... shoes. A moose into a rabbit, yes, but not shoes. It's not that it's impossible, it's just...

Who'd want to be shoes?

[tfwnogf]

A moose into a rabbit? Where'd you see that??

[Shit, there totally are Stand users!!]

I dunno why he wanted to be shoes, he just really wanted Josuke to get him out of there or somethin'? I dunno, I never asked him about that, or why he turned into binoculars. That guy was weird...

[rebella]

( #miscommunicationgold )

On the last planet. Ah, you... had a friend who liked being used?

( what are binoculars???????? but really turning into shoes to get out of there sounds like a moron fairy move did he know a stupid fairy or something )

[tfwnogf]

I don't know what his deal was! He said he was an alien and lived in magnet clouds- [Magellanic clouds, Oku] but I don't think he was, but then he just like, disappeared??

[rebella]

... Where? Back into space?

( Magnetic clouds sound so strange )

[tfwnogf]

I dunno! I never saw him again after a while. Sometimes I don't really think he's from space, but then he ate those tissues...

[Yeah, surprise. Same guy Josuke is talking about.]

[rebella]

( What a strange... strange friend you both had... )

Do a lot of people turn into shoes where you're from, or was he one of the only ones?

[tfwnogf]

He was the only one, and he kept saying he wasn't from Earth!

[rebella]

Then maybe he was telling the truth?

[tfwnogf]

Y'know, I hadn't really believed him at the time but... now that I'm actually in space...

Hey, Josuke! Do you think Mikitaka was really was telling the truth?

[retrovert]

[She'll probably still pick up on Josuke in the distance calling back, despite being off-screen.]

Well, actually being in space does make it more convincing. But...considering the circumstances [STANDS] he still might just be going through that, uh...middle school thing? Where teenagers think they're super special, like thinking they have anime powers or something...

[Which is ironic considering they...do...but let's pretend for a second they don't.]

[tfwnogf]

Dude, he was like the tallest middle schooler I ever saw.

[retrovert]

He's not in middle school! It's just what they call it, cuz that's around when it starts. Middle school...symptom? Syndrome? I can't remember. I heard some teachers talkin' about it once.

Maybe it was even about him and I didn't know at the time...

[tfwnogf]

Whatever, he was way too weird. I bet there aren't even really any magnet clouds up here to begin with.

[retrovert]

Man, weren't you paying attention? They weren't magnet clouds.

They were magellan clouds. Y'know, like the band?
