[Anyone familiar with Souji Seta's apartment will recognize where Yosuke is immediately. He's sitting on the bed, which is unmade in a way it never would be if Souji had anything to say about it. There are cups of tea sitting around too, abandoned and forgotten. For all of that, Yosuke doesn't seem relaxed or well-rested. He just looks a little mussed and out of it.]

I'unno 'f anyone. Uh. Who needsta know. But somebody...he had a job. So-so, 'f you worked with him he's not playin' hooky, alright? I waited t' make sure. A while. Long time. 'Cause he wasn't answering, so I-um.

Anyway, 'm doin' this wrong. I just mean-um. Mean that Souji Seta is gone. Is all. So, please excuse him from work.

[Sorry, Portians. He's usually friendler, really. It's just been a bad month. Wake him up when September ends?]

(OoC: For people who don't know, Souji Seta is Yosuke's canon best friend and was his sole cast mate. Who also made the mistake of giving him a bottle of vodka to celebrate his 17th birthday. Whoops.)

Yosuke. [ This is her understanding face. Buffy worries about him still. ] Are you gonna be okay?

Re: video. private.

[inthejunk]

Okay?

[He seems utterly lost at that question. But he nods, anyway. Yeah, sure. He'll be okay. Whatever the right answer is in this situation, that's what his answer is.]

Do you need anything? [ He doesn't seem as broken up as she was when Angel left, but she can tell he isn't all fine and dandy, either. ]

[No one understands this more than Gilbert, bro. He's just no good at expressing it.]

How long has he been gone?

Re: voice;

[inthejunk]

All day.

[That might not sound serious to some, but Gilbert is the kind of guy who will realize just how much fretting and grieving and misery someone can cram into a single day when their important person disappears.]

voice;

[retraced]

['All day' may as well mean 'forever' when it comes to someone that important to you. Saying 'I'm sorry' is such a useless thing in that case.]

You're at his apartment now?

[reassures]

[So, hey. It's maybe an hour or two after that initial post, but here Nill is, slipping inside the apartment, which she locks behind her, just in case the landlord shows up or something. Finding people via telepathy is pretty hard, but she managed it.]

Yosuke.

Re: action

[inthejunk]

[A few hours later, Yosuke isn't in any better shape than he was when he made the post. In fact, he's in arguably worse shape. He's on the floor of the kitchen, unconscious. It's easy to tell he's no expert at drinking, because the bottle? It's empty.]

[reassures]

[...He didn't. Did he? No-- he couldn't--

forgetting entirely about her shoes, Nill dashes over and drops next to him, checking his pulse first before giving his shoulder a shake.]

Yosuke?

[summing_it_up]

[Oh gods. He doesn't know what to say at first, but after a minute, he tries something.]

...Man, you look, ah, terrible. [Beat.] No offense.

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

Oh. [Which isn't much of a response, admittedly. Yosuke shrugs, some sort of half apology.] Seemed best to do it now 'nstead of waitin' for people to...to...you know. Best to say it now.

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Oh Yosuke, I'm sorry... [She doesn't know who Souji was, but that his disappearance has such an affect on Yosuke is all she need to say the sincere words.]

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

Thanks.

[The reply is more confused than genuine. He knows that's what people say when other people's friends go home. It's just that now that someone is saying it to him, it sounds completely absurd.]

[ex_prodigism243]

[ Oi vey, he remembers you. ]

I'm sorry for your loss, Hanamura-kun.

Re: video;

[inthejunk]

Yeah.

[It's not the most intelligent of answers, but there's the distinct possibility that he's had a bit too much to drink already. He frowns a little, then remembers himself and nods politely instead.]

Yeah, 's too bad.

[asano_san]

[Keigo is filled with a sense of utter unfairness at how other people get treated when they talk about friends disappearing. Uryuu was cold and calm, which isn't natural. Yosuke's a mess right now, which is just embarrassing. They get sympathy and he gets people telling him to stop being so damn annoying.]

Are you going to puke everywhere again?

[He'll feel bad later, but right now, he doesn't think Yosuke deserves someone else giving him condolences.]

[inthejunk]

[Yosuke doesn't seem particularly offended by the question. He just shakes his head, and shrugs with the good arm.]

Don' worry. 'M not comin' home.

[mediumdrip]

Oh...

[inthejunk]

[That "oh" sounds disappointed. Has one of Souji's friends finally showed to help mourn him? It's about time. And hey, he knows you. Penguin dude.]

You knew 'im too?

[video]

[rapturescreed]

Yosuke, I realize it may be upsetting that your friend is gone, but that does not mean you do something like this.

Re: [video]

[inthejunk]

[That gets a sort of petulant look, dude. What? he's just trying to let people know that the guy isn't sn irresponsible jerk. And that they should be crying. Everyone should be crying right now, and they need to know it. Huff.]

'S the responshible thing t'do!

[video]

[theshortestbird]

I'm sorry, Yosuke. How long has he been gone?

Re: [video]

[inthejunk]

All day.

[Glumly. He knows it probably doesn't sound long to most people, but it's long enough to turn the whole world upside down, thanks very much.]

video :c

[blondejokes]

Will you be okay?

[ Poor guy; he's either drunk or on his way to getting black-out drunk. ]

Re: video :c

[inthejunk]

[He doesn't seem to know what to do with a question like that. A pained expression ripples across his face, and for a second he's almost positive he'll do something stupid and humiliating, like burst into tears on camera. But he doesn't. He just glances away and clears his throat, then shrugs.]

Um. Yeah. I...he uh. He hadda job so. So thought people should...I thought...they shoul' know. Is all.
