[open] ring ring, bingo?
WHO: Ritsu Kageyama and people who are probably nicer than him
WHERE: All around the city
WHEN: Throughout July
WHAT: Frustrated teen wants answers, does silly things for it; July catch-all, you know the drill!
WARNINGS: None for now!
[ My plotting post for bingo help is over here! ]
i. At least they're not grayberries
[ On the university school grounds of Apprassage, Ritsu mans a respectably built stand of questionable legality. He's fairly certain he can get away with it even with age alone, his professor guardian may have lost his memories of Retrospec, but was supportive in Ritsu's inexplicable one-day business venture. ]
Blueberry juice.
Freshly squeezed.
We have ice.
[ Now that sure is a passionate sales voice, yessir. Also before anyone asks, it's a Royal We. ]
ii. The hero nobody deserves
[ Some kid in a mask stands... uhh. Not that tall. Not that proudly. Maintaining a cross-armed pose lacking in passion. But the summer wind blows, and his cape dramatically flutters. He really hated he got a task like this in summer. He'd hate it all other seasons too but now the weather would be against him as well. Should've checked the forecast, should've picked another day. Wished he had money for sunglasses instead of goggles.
... Should concede and open up that umbrella, now before he gets sunburn. And maybe the shade would make him slightly harder to recognize. Ah, who was he kidding. He looks like some lost kid who wanted to celebrate Halloween a full couple months early. ]
Hey, you.
[ There's a point now, sorry if you were trying to ignore him. ]
Tell me, what do superheroes do?
iii. Maybe impossible
"Flash mob"...
[ Echoing the text on the square as he's seated at Tribunal Terrace, there's a frown on Ritsu's face even more intense than his usual one. He goes ahead and watches a video, shaking his head in defiance after a couple seconds. He's seated outside so the lack of earphones shouldn't bother too many people, but some might've still heard a pop song or Broadway that they knew. ]
No way. Definitely no way. A musical isn't any better. I can't do this kind of thing even with a team. Did anyone else get this kind of assignment? There's no role I can fit.
[ Could always be Robert during Enchanted, does that count Ritsu? Watching on, his will seems to be wilting, and his brows remain furrowed. ]
... Is this supposed to be music?
[ Well, even if you can't help him with such a monumental task, you can still take those as fighting words. ]

[ ... and... on cue, his does too. too much force. ] ... This ice cream is really strong.
no subject
Except... when he gets to the stand he freezes in place, staring at the bent spoon. A feeling washes over him. Relief? Adequacy? But why.
Then the guy just. Takes it and hands him a new spoon while he's distracted. ]
Um. Wait I...
[ ?????? in a face. Both his and the guy's faces. Ritsu's been lingering here so long Shou probably has caught up to him by now. ]
no subject
... he waves a hand in front of ritsu's face. ]
Brainfreeze already?
no subject
[ EXTRA DEFENSIVE HUFF while he dons his signature frown of denial. ]
I mean, just because you weren't going to play fair, doesn't mean I wasn't... of course...
[ So why is your voice shrinking Ritsu. ]
Ahem. Back to it then. [ He'll even wait for you to get your spoon!! See how polite and by the rules this whole thing is. How boring. ]
no subject
it takes a lot to distract shou from ice cream, but ritsu acting shady is a good distraction. he grabs ritsu's wrist, stares him dead in the eye. ]
If something's up, tell me. Like... [ glances down... maybe it's not the spoon? ] Do you actually hate this flavor, or something?
no subject
but uh
his concern is kind of moving?? best friends are nice to have huh ]
No, nothing like that. I think... I got one of those weird memories, with zero context. It's not a big deal, Suzuki.

[ Ritsu sighs. "Something about spoons" though. And carrying one with him at all times. What the hell was up with you past(?) self. ]
So are we going to get back to that ice cream, or are you holding it hostage now until I tell.
no subject
buut ritsu just about gives him the idea, thanks ritsu. he holds the pint up over his head--well, he's shorter than ritsu, ritsu can fetch it back, but his smirk just practically dares him into it. ]
C'mon, I'm curious now. And nosy. Spill the deets.
no subject
[ Add needlessly persistent and charmingly annoying to that list! Ritsu huffs for a moment before... playing along because he doesn't feel like being undignified over ice cream today. In his hero costume.
God why was this day like this. ]
It's like a lucky charm.
no subject
... Being defeated by ice cream?
no subject
For some reason, just. I remembered I liked keeping a spoon with me, if I could help it.
[ Ritsu's sweating profusely, not facing Shou's expression and unsure if he should be anticipating a loud bark of laughter or a deadpan "THAT'S IT?" ]
no subject
he doesn't quite understand and isn't sure if he wants to (lies, he wants to). ] Ritsu...
S-should we eat ice cream with a fork instead? [ HE'S PROBABLY trying to be considerate or making fun. or both at the same time. ]
no subject
[ Except he will. He so will. ]
no subject
no subject
[ HE JUST WANTED ICE CREAM ]
no subject
With ice cream that strong, you might just break my nose. That's not very heroic of you. [ acts of violence from the city protector? for shame...! ]
no subject
You'll be at fault for my turning renegade, how troubling. Maybe you're the criminal I have to apprehend after all for instigating my turn to darkness.
[ Why did this sound so rehearsed??? ]
no subject
he tries not to laugh, but he doesn't try very hard and eventually just shaked in stifled giggles, then laughs out loud. ] R... Ritsu... you're the edgy kind of hero after all... a real anti-hero type...
But that's fine, I accept! Come to the dark side, I have ice cream, and whatever. We could take over the city together.
[ actually, right after saying that, he frowns. that's basically what his father's trying to do... but it's only for a second, then he shrugs, playing it off. ]
no subject
[ Even with the sheepish glance away as Shou patronizes him... Yup, Ritsu caught that shift in expression. ]
It's not the heat getting to you, is it?
no subject
If I pass out from heatstroke, can you princess carry me to the clinic?
no subject
We should get back to the shade.
[ HIS CONCERN IS LEGITIMATE ]
