destinystrings | [OPEN] Snowball Fight!!

Who: Yosuke Hanamura and you!
Where: Any city districts, late afternoon
Summary: So it's snowing everywhere!! You know what that means right? (And if you don't, Yosuke will quickly teach you.) Yes, that's right. Snowball fight. He will be instigating pretty much anyone with a snowball to the back. Character reactions ensue!
Warnings: Snowball violence?

Wow, Yosuke hadn't seen this much snow in a while! It'd been a few months- from his perspective, about five, considering the weird jump in time that came from coming to this world- since the last drifts of snow had fallen on Inaba. What made the snow here especially cool, though, was the way the city made it look, especially at night.

But the best thing about snowy days, by far, was getting off of work early and being able to just run around in it. Sure, it was a pain in the ass to have to literally drag his bike through the snow, and sure he might've looked like a dumb kid romping through it, but hey, he was going to enjoy himself!

And of course that's when he got the idea- the terrible idea that came from just not caring that he looked absolutely ridiculous running around in the snow- to start some snowball fights.

He's not really paying attention to who he's hitting so whoever you are, whether he mistook you for someone else, whether he was aiming for someone else, or whether he just doesn't care, you are now getting a snowball right between the shoulder blades.

How do you react?

Oh, but she is still sad about it.

In fact the mass of snow she has is a bit too large for her to throw accurately.

... The snowball misses so badly and she looks so upset that he can't really bring himself to toss another one her way. Whoops... He lets his new snowball drop back on the ground.

"Hey, is something wrong? I didn't mean to make you upset."

She blinks, as if she's surprised by something. This young man talking to her sounds so much like someone she knows...

"...Haseo?"

She figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Even if she was here as her character there was no guarantee that anyone she knew could be here from their other lives, their 'real' lives... even though it was unlikely.

"I was just never any good in a snowball fight, is all."

Yosuke blinks. "Uh... Sorry, my name's Hanamura Yosuke. I don't know anyone named Haseo..." He rubs the back of his head a little, wondering if he looked like someone she knew.

"We don't have to have a snowball fight, I just thought it'd be fun, cause of the snow and stuff..."

"Oh, sorry... Haseo is someone's online game character. You sound so much like him I thought you might be..."

"Well, you're not really hurting anyone, so it's fine. I just thought you might have been trying to make fun of me..."

"Oh, and call me Atoli."

"Oh, that's kind of funny. Nah, I don't play any online games, sorry, our internet wasn't really the greatest where I lived anyway. It's nice to meet you though, Atoli." Yosuke smiles at her. "I swear I'm not making fun of anyone, I'm not that kind of guy. I just like having some fun is all~"

"It's all right, I believe you! I was mostly just surprised..." she says, returning a smile of her own.

"I think it'd be meaner if I let you know that I was about to hit you with a snowball before I did it," he laughs, giving her a wink.

"That could be true..." she said in return, realizing that it was. Too often people would call her out on her untrendiness, driving a wedge between them, creating an impossible gap.

"I'm still sorry I hit you at all, though, I was just trying to have some fun." He smiles at her. "So do you play online games a lot? Is that Haseo guy a good friend of yours or something?"

Atoli's face and eyes practically light up.

"Yes, and he's a really good player! He actually won an Arena championship not too long ago, and it was his first time entering!"

It was a couple months, from her perspective, that counts as 'not long'.

"I usually play one-player games on consoles or whatever, I've never actually played an online game before, but that sounds pretty awesome, like it'd take a lot of skill!" He doubts he'd be able to win something like that on his first try.

"He has a lot of experience for his level."

She elects not to mention the thing she's seen. Who would believe an ability like that even existed?

You know, except everyone here.
