Hanamura Residence

[youraffection]

[ It's a nice, split level house on the more family residential part of town. Perfectly normal and unassuming. Gray and white cover the sides, and short driveway in the front. Anyone who attended Yosuke's Christmas party will recognize it.

Yosuke's parents aren't home. He planned it that way. And despite how some of the circumstances that have led up to this aren't the best, he's determined to be in good spirits. ]

Hey, thanks for coming!

[ There are empty boxes stacked in the driveway and in the front entrance. He's still packing things up, but you're more than welcome to assist. Just throw it all in a box or bag, no organization needed. Feel free to snoop around the house or in his stuff.

Did you end up boxing up some of his clothes? Did you find his porn stash? Or did you find something super gross like purikura with his friends or old yearbooks? Are you packing up his guitars--be careful with those steroes, they're expensive!

And watch out for the singing bass that has Alexa programmed in it. It likes to go off on its own sometimes. ]

En Route

[youraffection]

[ Finally got everything loaded up. Whew! And thank goodness someone has a vehicle. What, did you think they could rent a u-haul? They're under 25, they can't legally. (Legally being the keyword.) Yosuke isn't really taking furniture, anyway. Yukiko's van, dubbed the Mystery Machine, is the main method of transport, but if your character has something to offer they are welcome to.

Are you squished in next to some boxes? Sorry. Hopefully the lamp doesn't poke you in the eye.

The super long (not--maybe twenty minutes, max) drive can be passed by fun road trip games or the radio. ]

Oh, this song is awesome.

[ It might be Nickelback. ]

Narukami House

[youraffection]

[ Now that everything has been all loaded up and transported...it has to be unloaded and down into the basement. Yes, Yosuke is now a basement dweller. And to that end, so is Yu. So that kind of works out.

Have you been to the Narukami house before? Of course you have! They've hosted a few partes and get-togethers in their time. And who could miss out on the copious amount of cats? No, you're not crazy--there really are that many of them wandering around. Just watch out for Manzoku, the cat who looks like he shouldn't be able to walk with that belly. When he sits on you, you're done for.

Though they hadn't intended on decorating, if some guests are feeling extra creative, they're welcome to unpack and arrange boxes without asking. Yosuke just has veto power, later.

As a thank you, they'll be ordering a copious amount of pizza to everyone that helped out. Because that's the way friends thank friends. ]

[redarm]

[Noah, currently pinned between some boxes, will be the one brave enough to say what is on everyone else's mind as Nickelback plays.]

Why are you like this.

[youraffection]

[ LEGITIMATELY what is your problem, Noah. ]

What? It's a good song.

[ Tell him otherwise.

No, really. Go for it. ]

[redarm]

It's...Nickelback.

[He says slowly, like it should be self-explanatory!!]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[maskreant]

It's no problem.

[ He did say that he would support Yosuke and Yu whenever he can!! And if it means helping Yosuke pack and move out, then so be it...! Though Akira kind of wished it wasn't today of all days! He was bullying his boyfriend earlier and that came with some other consequences then has a videogame night after this, but it's fine.

He can handle carrying a couple of boxes, but one box is a tier too high. The fourth and highest box falls, but he catches it somehow with his foot. It can only balance for so long before all the porn scatters on the floor of the Hanamura driveway. ]

Oh.

[deathboss]

[Eventually halfway in moving, a van shows up near the house, a motorcycle leading the way. Michel gets into the driveway before taking off his helmet and giving them a wave.]

Hey! Sorry I'm late, but did you know you can't rent a moving van if you're under 25?! I had to rent these guys out to do the work. I hope you're feeling lazy for the rest of the day!

[alitaba]

[ Why is Futaba even here?? Who knows. She's definitely wasn't here to help with the moving; most of the boxes are bigger than she is. The moral support is incredibly dubious so clearly, there's just one answer ]

...That pose looks really uncomfortable.

[ She's sitting in one of the empty boxes with a few of the cats, snooping through the porn stash. ]

[youraffection]

So what?? Are you saying just because it's Chad Kroeger it sucks??

rude

[youraffection]

[ It's not like they're rushing things due to unforeseen circumstances? Nope, not at all. They just wanted to start May out with things being...kind of the same, but with more of Yosuke's stuff. And isn't that what matters?

He's got a lot of things that he's missed of these past few months. But that one-- ]

...ACK!

[ --that's...that's not one that he really wants to share.

Cue some understandable panicking.

There's some pretty vanilla stuff in there, honestly. And then a lot of...magazines and some DVDs specifically about sexy nurses and doctors. ]

I-It's not what it--

[ Erm... ]

...Who'm I kidding, it's exactly what it looks like...

JEAN CLAUDE VAN-MANUAGIOJAIGJAJ AHAHA

[youraffection]

[ That is legitimately the sassiest moving fan Yosuke has ever seen in his life. He didn't even know that was a category. ]

Duuuude you're a lifesaver!

[ Yeah, he can't rent a van. He looked into it. ]

Wait, you have to rent the guys too?

[redarm]

I'm gonna assume that's a name of a Nickelback guy and go yes. Yes, it's because of that.

[maskreant]

[ Akira expected the vanilla stuff, but he raises his eyebrows at the sexy nurses and doctors. He gently deposits the other boxes by the street for the pick-up truck and boys to get (thank you, Michel). When that's done, he's back to packing this box of porn up. ]

... I won't tell anyone.

[ He says that as he's reading the back of one of these sexy hospital DVDs. What's this one about? ]

[youraffection]

[ Yes, moral support. That's how Yosuke has always seen her...

But, honestly? He's just really glad he's got so many friends around him. He could be upset about his dwindling relationships with his family, but he's got pretty nice ones going with these people instead. ]

...What?

[ Social links that are soon to be reversed, apparently. ]

...What are you doing!?

[alitaba]

[ Your tiny gremlin cheerleader needed to recharge her tiny gremlin batteries though. ]

Resting. [ obviously ]

Your help did a questionable job of packing though. [ She gestures to the rather eclectic mix of whatever happens to be in the box she's hiding in. It seems whoever packed this seems to have mixed a lot of fun stuff along with the more boring everyday stuff. Was it on purpose? We just don't know. ] I figured you'd want these out of sight.

[ Which is surprisingly considerate coming from her. She's also taking the opportunity to judge his choices a little too but it's all about that intention, right?? ]

[youraffection]

It's catchy, okay?!

[youraffection]

You better not!

[ Akira doesn't happen to know that Yu works at the hospital, does he?

Yosuke rushes over to shove this stuff away into the box as quickly as possible. ]

H-Hey! Look--

[ It's about a medical student learning how to give her first full body exam of another...female medical student. ]

--I know you shared your porn with me, but...

[maskreant]

50 Shades is more senseless hand flapping than porn, if you think about it.

[ The amount of times Akira had to change my inner goddess to inner Adonis may have jaded him for life. He's still reading the back, squinting a bit as Yosuke's interests come to light.

Yes.

Akira knows Yu works at the hospital. Slowly, his gaze shifts back to Yosuke. Since there are other people helping him out, he shifts closer to his friend and whispers into his ear: ]

Do you guys roleplay?

[ He actually doesn't want an answer. After asking, he's back to cleaning up. There are still some DVDs and books here and there. Don't worry!! He'll get those. ]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko immediately flips the CD changer over and changes the tune. Without saying a goddamn word.

Nickelback can burn in hell.

Instead you get this.]

This song is so great.

[youraffection]

[ She is his tiny gremlin...which means he won't feed her after midnight. ]

That's not what I'm talking about!

[ And you know it!

To be fair, the original box is one that Akira dropped, so Yosuke just kind of shoved as much of it away as possible. Of course, Futaba would find it. Which is why Yosuke snatches away. ]

Yeah, I do--so why are you looking at them!?

[youraffection]

Wh--hey!

[ Why is everyone so mean??? ]

[burningblossoms]

It's good, Yosuke. Do you disagree?

[Do you?]

[redarm]

If you say so.

[he can't believe this is where Yosuke actually dares to go against popular opinion. He should be proud but...why....]

[youraffection]

Well--yeah it's just fine, but...

[ It feels like a slight! Aren't they all here because they care about him?? ]
