[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.]

...Remind me to take you to the arcade later.

Alright.

[He pauses, then shoots the older teen a curious look.]

Hey, Yosuke? What's an arcade?

It's...a surprise. Don't worry, you'll like it.

[The last time he heard that, he ended up working in a brothel so here, you get all his unsure facing.]

Alright, I guess.

[He pauses, blinks, then goes right back to the original topic. He's just going to ignore the part where you said it was decided already.]

So? How much earlier do you need me there?

[Eyeroll.]

It's really hard to convince you to have fun, do you know that?

Sorry. [He's clearly not.] But you're not the first person to say that.

[It reminds him of Mikage, and even of Frau, but those memories don't exactly soften his expression. Much.] I still have difficulty... understanding the theory, I guess.

Probably because there is no theory. You just do it, and it feels good.

[He just shrugs a bit. He still thinks it's easier said than done.]

So?

What time should I come in? Or do you need help now?

Right now I'm watching cartoons and trying to psychically make someone drop their chips when they walk out of the conbini across the street so I can go steal them. Like a seagull or something. So unless you're better at psychic coersion than me its probably best for you to just stay home.

I've never tried psychic coercion, but I can use a controlled touch of zaiphon to knock the bag out of their hand... if that wasn't stealing. [He just shrugs at that and starts moving down the hall.] I don't think I've ever watched... cartoons? But I can bring you some chips if you want.

I can be there in about thirty, give or take.

...You can what?

Be there in a half an hour, roughly.

[...]

What?

No. The thing you said before that.

[He blinks, frowns, then asks slowly:] ... you mean about using zaiphon?

Yeah, that.

Zaiphon is mana, the life-energy that's in everything... some people from my world can manipulate it in different ways but we basically give form to thoughts and emotions. Like this.

[And here he lifts his free hand, lets, a line of blue-black script in his own language curl around his hand effortlessly. He tilts the NV and with a flick of his wrist, sends it shooting over to splash up the water in Tolly's dish, splashing the cat's face just a little bit.]

See?

[Yosuke's eyes widen. Woah. Cool. And yeah, that would totally work for stealing chips alright.]

Where'd you learn to do that?
