[Hey, Portians. Yosuke is done hiding behind the voice function, seeing that his face isn't uglied up that badly these days. In fact, if you ignore the big cast on one arm, he looks pretty much like the usual old Yosuke. Albeit, he hasn't touched up the roots of his hair (oh look, he's a brunette after all) which is definitely weird for him, he looks cheerful enough.]

[You've missed these up the nose shots while he finds the camera angle he likes, admit it.]

Hi, everyone.

I wanted to thank the people who helped with the Open Mic night, and everyone who turned up for it too of course. It was a pretty good success! Because some money was made, I have good news to announce.

The Cat's Eye will be open now every Tuesday and Saturday, all day long. Our manager Raul Creed-san isn't available for comment, but I promise you that I'm the executive type of dishwasher, and I'm authorized to make this sort of declaration.

We wanted to kick off this Saturday with a special menu, but since we haven't found a cook yet we might need to take a rain check for that. But I promise I make really great coffee, and our beautiful barmaid Nill-san will keep your glasses full.

Um, about that. Does anyone have some cooking experience? If you don't mind...let's say "growing with a business" it should be a great second job! I promise, the boss isn't a huge jerk.

Anyway, besides that there was one thing. I uh...I guess I need to learn a few things about accounting and that sort of stuff. Since I haven't finished high school, and I don't really want to, is there a way not to bother with university? Aren't there some technical schools around, maybe? That way I don't have to waste time learning.

...Extra things, I mean. Uh.

Thank you for your time! And we appreciate your continued business while we find out feet again.

[He'll just finish this with a bright "Thanks for Shopping at Junes!" smile. Yeah, that should do it.]

Maybe I just don't see the point. There kinda isn't one around here, you know.

[sequincy]

Even more reason for you to involve yourself in something. Work towards something.

[inthejunk]

Towards what? I'm just gonna forget it again anyway. It's a waste of time. I might as well just have fun, right?

[sequincy]

[because it will lead you into trouble again]

Because you have potential for more than mindless activities.

[inthejunk]

Potential?

[Well, that's a new one. In spite of himself, he actually cracks a smile.]

You sound like that therapist they made me see, dude. Is someone going around handing out manuals on what to do with high school drop outs these days?

[sequincy]

I'm not being flippant. I mean it. You have the potential to do more with yourself than you are now.

[inthejunk]

You think I should go back to bagging groceries? I was pretty good at that.

[sequincy]

Do you really think that's all you're worth?

[inthejunk]

[Oh, man. Do you have to say it so directly?]

Dude, there's no future here. We've already covered it.

[Not that he wouldn't be bagging groceries at home too, but no one there ever seemed to mind.]

[sequincy]

Have you ever seen Shikamaru or I reducing ourselves because of this place? Every world has meaning while you're still a part of it.

[inthejunk]

I don't even know what he does. Just that he doesn't want me to know.
