[ The video comes on and it appears to be neatly propped up on a desk. He's spinning a pen between his fingers. It's clear he's sitting at a desk, given by how much you can see of him. He's never posted to the network before. ]

A couple of you may know this, but I am a manga-ka at home, and obtained a physical copy my series about a month ago. Not long ago, I did get a publisher and I'm able to get additional prints of it so that I do not have to lend out my only copy.

[ But that is only partially the point of this post. ]

I'm in the process of developing a new series. There's only so much to work with within my own experiences. I've drawn many pieces of scenery here, filled up sketchbooks with pictures of Prismals and Moonblessed alike.

[ He sets his pen down on his desk, and stops playing with it. ]

So that's where I come to you. I'd like to hear stories about your life prior to here. Whether that is an interesting story or fact about you or the world you come from.

[ Oh, yeah. ]

And, one more thing. I guess, since I'm feeling generous. If anyone would like to see if I drew them - just let me know. I'd recommend posting a video. I draw what I like so there's no guarantees, but it's possible.


[ ooc; i'm happy to have had him draw p. much anyone who would be spending regular time at the park, especially if they sit still for a few minutes when there since that's where he draws most his inspiration from! ;) ]

Wait, really? You drew me? I was expecting to get shut down ... [ He was expecting to get shut down immediately but this is a GREAT outcome. lol maybe rohan doesn't actually hate him after all haha aint that wacky ]

I've never been drawn before. You got the sketches still? [ He wants to see and maybe oogle himself a little, no biggie. ]

[penpoint]

[ Not like he kept the pictures... baka!! There's definite annoyance in his tone when he speaks. ]

I might have one of them. If I didn't already shred it.

[ J/K he has all of them, and he's going to regret letting Josuke take a look through the sketchbook, isn't he? ]

[nipzips]

I can totally see you shredding it too.

[ It would be disappointing but not at all surprising. He doesn't actually know if Rohan intends to show him his sketchbook or not, so he just ... waits for the other guy to move, peering at the sketchbook in his hands. ]

So ... [ Are you going to show him loser ]

[penpoint]

[ Rohan shifts through the pages to find the one picture of Josuke in a sketchbook that he knows only has one, because he doesn't. Want. Josuke to know there's more than that. He'd have to die. Or kill Josuke. Finally he holds up what is probably the best of the drawings, and hopefully enough to satisfy Josuke. ]

I didn't shred it, it looks like.

[ See? ]

[nipzips]

[ He is seeing, and liking what he sees! Then again, it's an objective fact that Rohan is an amazing artist. The guy got rich from doing art, after all. ]

Whoa, that's amazing! You really captured my good side there! When did you draw that? I didn't even know you were drawing me ...

[ He just really enjoys the fact that he was drawn, and is maybe oogling the picture a little. ]

[penpoint]

[ He's noticing that Josuke is kind of...oogling. And sets the sketchbook down. What the heck, dude. ]

I draw very quickly, you likely wouldn't have known. And it's not as if you're difficult. Your head is about 80% hair.

[ Hah. Yeah, he'll say that from the safe distance over the network. ]

[nipzips]

[ He is his father's son. They are both vain. This would be a pleasant conversation if not for Rohan's comment about his hair. While not technically an insult, Josuke is so sensitive to comments on his hair that he certainly takes it as one, and that familiar scene plays once again. ]

Hah?! The fuck did you just say about my hair?! [ Only this time, thankfully, he's behind a screen and not within punching distance of Rohan. ]

[penpoint]

I said [ there's basically 0 hesitation because they aren't in the same room, and now he could ] I said that your head is about 80% hair. Would you even need a helmet when riding a motorcycle or does your hair fulfill that role for you?

[nipzips]

Bastard ... I'll kill you for this. [ His phone gets thrown across the room with a force so strong the impact puts a big crack on the screen. Josuke then walks over to where it is, and only his feet are visible on the screen. ]

COME OVER AND FACE ME! I'LL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR DAMN BODY!

[penpoint]

[ Just there's a lot of laughing, and then - suddenly, it cuts off. Yes, he hung up on Josuke after pissing him off. That sounded like the right thing to do. ]

1/2

[nipzips]

[ With Josuke in his furious, raving state, it doesn't even occur to him that calling back is an option. His object of anger has disappeared from the screen, and this is clearly his cue to take out his aggression on the phone instead. ]

Where the fuck did you go?! Who the fuck gave you the right to hang up on me?! Come and face me, dipshit! FUCKING FACE ME!! [ With his stupid strength he starts stomping on the phone, cracking the screen further. However, the person he really wants to beat the shit out of doesn't even know that this is happening. ]

cant believe the thread ended like this

[nipzips]

[ When Josuke does come around, everything's in a bit of a haze, and his phone and some furniture around him is busted up. All that is fixed with little effort or fuss (but some wasted chroma).

He stares at that phone, wondering if he should call Rohan back, but decides that -- fuck that guy, they're better off not speaking after all! In fact, the less they interact the better, because it rarely ever has a good outcome. ]
