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'.

Yeah? Wait, I think I talked to him earlier...

Did he mention any fits of bad luck?

Nah, he just told me he'd give me some money to upgrade the ship.

There you go! You're on your way to strawberry flavor already.

It's gonna take time, though. For being in some like, future sci-fi place, it's really shitty.

Mm-hm. I think that might be part of the point of it all!

Take heart, anyhow. You can change your situation.

Yeah, guess it's better than a place where I couldn't work with anything at all...

My thoughts exactly!

What's your augment, kiddo?

Uh, security, I think. I guess it's better than like... pilot or something.

I wouldn't say that. All the augments have their uses, and I don't know how many pilots we have floating around...

I know they're important, but I'd be a really bad one!

Ha, lucky for you they didn't make you one then!

We have plenty of security officers, anyhow, but they're useful in a pinch. So, welcome to the fleet!

Whoa, whoa, hold up. Bad luck?

We ain't on some like...unlucky ship or somethin', are we?

I don't think so, but you'd have to ask longstanding crew members. I only keep track of my own ship's misfortunes! Which haven't been numerous.
