a: cookie disaster

[ Upon leaving the research center after being briefed via PowerPoint presentation, you'll find a robot that looks like a salt and pepper shaker tailing you, and offering you a fortune cookie! What a cute little robot. It's just so bad that it the cookie gives you strange fortunes like "Someone has Googled you recently". Creepy, huh?

But whether or not you read your fortune out loud, the robot seems to be very, very intent on helping. It follow you around and offer strange, and possibly dangerous advice. Your fortune said "You're allergic to the last thing you ate"? Well, the robot will offer to cut open your stomach to remove the food out! It cares. And this robot will chase you down, threaten you, shoot you with its laser eyes, or all of the above! Apart from that, it's definitely very noisy. Sorry, it's not sorry about how loud it is as it announces to you and to every passerby that "You will spend the next five hours sitting on the toilet"!

(Feel free to think of the most mundane or crazy fortunes and helpful "solutions!") ]

b: error in transporation

[ The metro-rail is basically what everyone who doesn't want to walk uses to get around the colony. It's usually a convenient means of transporation, but with the population growing, the rides start to get crowded! Lucky for you, today isn't one of those days. There aren't a lot of people riding the trains today, and there are probably just three or so people in each cart. You can sit down, and you don't have to smell the person who's invading your personal space because of how crowded it is!

Hold on tight, though, as the train comes to an abrupt stop! The conductor gets every passenger's attention through the intercom right away, and explains that there's some trouble in the next stop that services will be interrupted until further notice. Basically? You're stuck on the train until whatever problem there is is solved. Hope you have nothing important going on!

Well, of course you don't! You just arrived, after all. ]

c: obligatory horror option

[ After being briefed, of course you'd want to find a place to settle down in. Thankfully, the CEO and CERES is generous enough to provide you all with housing, and free rent for two months! Just how swell is that? But upon claiming an apartment of your own, you'll slowly notice that things aren't… how they should be. You blink, and you find the figure of someone who you never ever want to see before you. It's a faceless being, but their other physical characteristics sure are there. You blink again, and they're gone.

You don't feel safe. You start getting paranoid. What if something else happens? Maybe you should find another place to sleep in tonight. Knock on your neighbour's door, or wait outside your building to see if anyone will pick you up.

Or you could always be brave and spend the night at your own apartment. You'll find the lights flickering on and off even though you've switched them off already; the doors opening and closing on their own; the furniture suddenly not being in its place as if someone was dragging them around the house. It's definitely causing a lot of disruption so late at night, and it's not just you who can hear it. Your neighbours can hear the strange noises coming from your apartment, too. ]

d: vivid
✧ ViVid info

[ You thought you were done with ViViD for the day, but for some messed up reason, you clicked on something you weren't supposed to, and you're back in the game.

Your mission? Form a party of two members or more, beat the boss before it beats you! Yes. The boss is a butt with a tongue. It attacks with its tongue by either impaling the character/s, or by releasing pink hairs into the air which will fall all over the stage and causes confusion for a short duration of time.

The mission begins once you've formed a party! Good luck, and don't let love be over! ]

[ who the fuck are you calling short

...is the message Yata tries to convey as he glares at his new albeit unwanted acquaintance. Yata's shoulder supports stiffly, waiting for the right moment to shove it off. Not in front of the ladies, though. Never in front of the ladies. After exchanging glances among themselves, the girls giggle before calmly tell both boys that they wanted to go to a creperie with Yata. The chocolate crepes he buys all the time look really delicious! ... Or so one of them says as they give Yata a mischievous look. He can feel his cheeks heat up. ]

I-I never told 'em anything about— Wait, how do you know that!?

[ The same girl leans in with a knowing smile, prompting Yata to scurry and hide behind Oikawa. ]

[look in the mirror and it all becomes clear

Still, he ignores the glares (they're nothing new, try smacking him and we might get somewhere) but really there's no need for any of that when the girl's really do put all their attention on Yata. His own smile is growing more strained by the minute, and it's only because he doesn't know anyone here that he manages to pull off keeping up appearances.]

Then why don't we all go together?

[Because he sure as hell needs to work out how this chump is getting more attention that he is??????????????]

[ Wow Oikawa, that is actually a great idea—

"Haaah? I don't really want to go with you, though."

The remark from the rude girl in the back throws the group in a panic. The other girls try to convince their friend otherwise while apologizing to Oikawa. It's not immediately clear, but it looks like they're hesitant to take the tall newcomer along.

"If she doesn't want him, I guess it can't be helped..."

"Right?"

"That's why I told you we should've dragged beanie guy in the first place! Use your assets!"

"What!? That's easy for you to say!"

Things like that can be heard as they (loudly) discuss the matter among themselves. It's making Yata uneasy. Just when he hears them say something about tying Yata up, he interrupts. ]

I-I ain't going... if he ain't coming!

[ He doesn't like this guy, but he doesn't want to be left alone. Help. ]

["Hah, I really don't want to go with you though." Something sticks in his throat for a moment, similar to the irritation he felt when Karasuno's manager had ignored him before too. He's not used to it, he's used to being the one crooned over and this is hardly doing anything for his lack of self worth.

Still, the smile on his face doesn't waver, even when he shifts his arm to grip Yata's shoulder instead. His fingers dig into the muscle and bone hard. That sure is a threat.]

I'm just offering my friend support, he gets very shy after all.

[ Yata bites down hard on a yelp, because who is he to make a sound when he's had worse? But for this guy to make fun of him and threaten him in the span of a few minutes... He has no idea what this guy's problem is, but he has a feeling he shouldn't expect much from him, either. The girls seem amenable to this arrangement, but as soon as their backs are turned, Yata gives him a sharp elbow in the rib as he harshly whispers, ]

Make 'em go away already, you damn pretty boy!

[His problem is a dumb one, that's what his problem is. Either way, they're agreeing and that's a start. They can follow the group of girls quietly--or at least that's how it should be until he's yelping from the abuse, one hand rubbing his side.]

Ow! What was that for?!

[Don't worry Yata, this suave facade is a lie.]

I'm just not going to lose to a shorty like you!

[Ah... it's all out on the table. Besides, it doesn't help that there's a carrot top shorty back home that seems to keep getting in his way too. You're in this together.]

[ Woah, it's a complete 180. Yata shouldn't be too surprised given the nuances in Oikawa's behavior earlier, but at least he's being honest now. ]

Lose to... Huh?

[ He doesn't understand. Also, don't lump him together with kids who can't pee!? More importantly— ]

Who's a shorty!? I'm gonna kill you!

[ He shakes his fist at the boy like the delinquent he is and... ]

Edited (realizes a typo 1000 hours later) 2015-04-14 03:11 (UTC)

[ ...slaps him hard on the shoulder when a girl looks this way. ]

Haha, ha! You're hilarious... man....

[ They're such good... friends........... ]

["Honest" isn't always the best policy though, especially when you don't have someone to smack you upside the head and tell you you're being an idiot. Still, the fact that a tiny chipmunk of a man is shaking his fist at him and telling him that he'll kill him is quite amusing -- or it would be if said tiny chipmunk hadn't just stolen a group of girls' attention.

Rude.]

I can understand having a complex about it when you're against someone like m-- [He cuts off suddenly though, just as the girls turn around and Yata is slapping him on the shoulder. He grimaces, trying to hide it behind a smile and a laugh of his own. He gives them another wave, following by a nice dramatic pause.]

I was just telling him a story about the time someone I knew was hit in the face with a ball.

[It's going to be Yata next.]

Hahaha, wasn't that you?

[ It's a thinly-veiled threat. Like hell he'd let that happen!?

The girls ask them to hurry up, but Yata waves back sheepishly. The last thing he wants is to be stuck in a crowd of teenage girls. ]

No, I'm good...

Edited (html..........) 2015-04-14 14:42 (UTC)

Don't be silly, Shorty-chan. A Captain of the volleyball team couldn't have that happen to them.

[Except it has......................................

Either way, it's only when the girls sigh and whine at Yata to join them that he tilts his head, looking down out of the corner of his eyes. This time when he speaks his voice is much lower.]

The one with the pink bow is pretty, you're really not interested?

[Starting to think you're gay, bro.]
