[open] The S.S. Panic Blues

[neetfreak]

Who: Jyushimatsu and YOU
What: Jyushimatsu tries out his new job, and explores the new planet!
Where: all around the ship, the new planet
When: first half of May 2016
Warning(s): Jyushimatsu. also there's some violence!



A - Residential Area - Day

[with encouragement from Choromatsu, Jyushimatsu has decided to try working on the ship. without an allowance from their parents, it's the only way to earn money. and while everyone seems to be taken care of when they are on the ship, in regards to food and shelter, there are always other things humans want. things like extra clothes, or alcohol, or gambling cash. have you guys seen the night entertainment area? Jyushimatsu wants to spend hours there!

so, he looked for a job that seemed... reasonable. he doesn't want to work too hard, but he's all for being physical. he knows he won't be good at jobs where you have to work with people, like retail or hospitality. so it seems like the only viable option is something behind the scenes. and, boy, did he find an easy job. leaving garbage at peoples' doors? he can totally do that!

maybe you'll see him running through the residential area dumping trash in front of apartment doors. is that... why is he doing that? he's even wearing a uniform for it. or maybe you're his partner, and you notice his abundance of energy. he moves pretty fast]

Muscle, muscle! Hustle, hustle!

B - Residential Area - Night

[the days may be fun, and filled with things to do, but it's when the night comes that loneliness begins to creep in. Jyushimatsu misses his parents, and his brothers. he's so thankful that Choromatsu is here with him, but things... just aren't the same. they aren't even rooming together!

when he can't sleep, Jyushimatsu gets up to wander the residential area. he doesn't have money, so he can't go play in one of the other areas, so he's left alone with his thoughts. bad thoughts. bad thoughts about his brothers. what happened to them? why aren't they on the ship? what about their planet? he's having a difficult time coping, and he's usually so cheerful and happy. this depression doesn't suit him at all, but he can't really help it.

he finds a bench to sit on and plops down into a boneless lump. ugh, he just wishes he could sleep. actually, he wishes his brothers were here. especially Ichimatsu. perhaps if Ichimatsu-niisan were on board, he'd at least be able to sleep better]

C - New Planet - Day

[the captain said to be wary of evil scientists! that sounds... sufficiently creepy. but Jyushimatsu has explored a lot of the ship by now, and he's feeling antsy, so it's time to go outside! he eagerly awaits for the door to open, bouncing in place. and then he's met with... the wasteland. and suddenly the ship seems like a lot more fun.

but if other people are going exploring, he might as well, too! he's good at finding things to do, and has a positive attitude. so he'll make the most of it. the first thing Jyushimatsu does when he gets outside is run around the ship. yaaaay! running! it's been too long since he's had a wide open space to run in. and after running, it's time to practice his swings. yes, he stands in the same spot for hours just swinging his bat]

6,587! 6,588! 6,589...! [he needs something else to do. help him!]

D - Wildcard

[do you have another prompt you want to play with? slap it down!]

[Hope you have some good footing there, Jyushimatsu, there's a giant robot falling from the ship feet first, and it crashed hard into the ground near where you're at.]

[Inside the Zeta Gundam, Kamille cursed his lack of back thrusters. The balance of the MS was all off now, he could barely get this thing to walk properly!]

This is going to be hell to retune properly. [Looking up, he noticed Jyushimatsu off in the distance.] Is that-?

[neetfreak]

[whoa! when the robot hits the ground it causes the surrounding area to shake. Jyushimatsu falls to his knees, planting his hands on the ground as he... slowly turns to stare at that robot.

holy crap. what was this? a g**dam anime?

only once the ground stops shaking does he get up and begin to make his way over to the robot. he has no idea who is inside, but that really doesn't matter to him. what matters is the big frikken robot]

What the heck!? That's so cool! So cool! Oh my god!

[zetahatsudo]

[Yes, actually, but shhh.

Kamille opened the cockpit hatch once he moved the MS into a kneeling position, and poked his unhelmeted head outside to confirm-] Jyushimatsu? What the hell are you doing down here?!

[neetfreak]

[oh! it's Kamille! Kamille is the pilot! Kamille actually owns a goddamn robot. incredible! he has the best roommate ever! Jyushimatsu lifts both arms to wave at him, sweeping hugely]

Hi, Kamille-kun! I'm playing baseball! [by himself. actually, he's just swinging his bat. he doesn't even have a ball or mitt]

[zetahatsudo]

[Oh dear god, it's like dealing with the orphans again-]

How-no, never mind that! Why are you down here?! Didn't you read up on this place? It's dangerous to be here!

[neetfreak]

Dangerous? [no, he didn't read anything, obviously.

still enthralled with the robot, he reaches over to run his hand over the smooth surface. this is absolutely amazing! at least he's not focused on the wasteland anymore]

[be_acknowledged]

JYUSHIMATSU GET BACK HERE DON'T JUST GO RUNNING OFF ONTO SOME STRANGE PLANET!

[The ever fretting green bean runs after his brother, panting when he catches up.]

Didn't you hear the captain? Don't you SEE this place? It's not safe out here! ...What are you doing?

[neetfreak]

[Jyushimatsu has stopped running to pull out his baseball bat. then he turns to Choromatsu, smiling happily] I was gonna play baseball! But I thought exploring might be fun, too!

[he doesn't seem to register the panic in his brother's voice]

[be_acknowledged]

[Baseball? Here? REALLY?]

Can't you just play baseball on the ship? It's big enough. Anyway, maybe we should leave exploration for people who actually do fighting and things? There's supposed to be monsters and kidnappers here...

[neetfreak]

[you can't play baseball indoors, Choromatsu! that's irresponsible! do you really want to be around when Jyushi breaks something?]

Ehhh? Monsters and kidnappers? No way! [he sounds... more intrigued than scared, honestly]

[be_acknowledged]

[He nods.]

Exactly! It's a huge problem for normal people like us. We should just stay on the ship until they take us somewhere safer.

[neetfreak]

[and you know what? Jyushi's gone. like. he walked away right after he was done speaking. he's also heading further into the wasteland as opposed to back to the ship]

Whooo! Adventure!

[fortunette]

[ Marinette was walking around, practically spacing out. She still wasn't used to this place and was sort of hoping it'd turn out to be a really weird dream or something, but that didn't seem to be the case. With her hands at her side, she was just trying perk herself up and make it through the day.

She noticed Jyushimatsu running by, but before she could even say anything, she took a wrong step on some trash that he dropped and completely fell onto her butt with a loud scream. ]

[neetfreak]

[whoa! that scream echoes throughout the hallway, catching Jyushimatsu's attention easily. it's... a girl screaming, and so he drops everything in his hands and goes racing back to where the sound was]

Miss! Are you okay?

[fortunette]

[ She winces a bit and rubs her backside. She didn't realize she fell quite that hard. ]

I'm... fine I think?

[neetfreak]

[oh, she fell! Jyushimatsu removes his gloves and tucks them under his arm, then he's offering his hand to help Marinette up, if she wants it]

I-I'm sorry! I didn't realize I dropped anything! [what a careless fool he is, dropping trash and causing cute girls to slip on it. that's not cool! this girl is a kid even!] I'm really sorry!

[fortunette]

[ She sees his hand and reaches up to grab it with an embarrassed smile on her face. ]

It's alright. This happens to me all the time.

[neetfreak]

[up we go! and she isn't mad, it seems. thank goodness! Jyushimatsu's panicked expression settles into a nervous smile]

Really? You fall a lot?

[kusogaki]

[ Maybe Kagura DOES notice Jyushimatsu's abundant energy as she stops her casual wandering and watches him fling trash at unsuspecting doors. Maybe not.

She does, however, sidestep over to one of the piles to find a soggy paper plate covered in old liquid cheese and tomatoes. She picks it up and launches it at him, because he's obviously playing the time honored game of trash-tag. And he's really good. This might actually be a challenge! ]

YOU ARE IT!

1/2

[neetfreak]

Huh? [Jyushimatsu turns just in time to have the paper plate smack him in the face. ew. but as it slides off of him, he doesn't look grossed out at all. in fact, he looks happy!

maybe a little too happy]

2/2

[neetfreak]

[he's it, huh? silly child, you've opened a can of worms. you're dealing with a master, here, and he's going to show you just how to play trash-tag.

after a few seconds of standing there, Jyushimatsu springs into action, building a fort from nearby trash. he moves with speed that is only possible in some gag anime, quick as the Flash. and only once he has erected his monstrous fort does he start hurling garbage at kagura.

bombs away!]

[kusogaki]

[ YES! THIS IS THE MATCH SHE'S BEEN WAITING FOR. The true test of the king or queen of the residential district. She turns into a motion blur that would make Goku proud as she starts to dodge the trash!

Sure, there's a hit or two... Something that might have been spaghetti pegs her in the leg. A can of creamed something catches her shoulder, but it's not enough to stop her. ]

Heh. You're good... But not good enough.

[ She begins to run toward him, dipping low at each rancid pile in front of the doors to grab a disgusting item and hurl it at him. ]

[neetfreak]

[there can be only one ruler! and Jyushimatsu was here first. he's not about to give up his cushy position (even though he doesn't get anything). the item she threw comes up and blows off one of the towers of his fort, causing the whole building to tremble]

NOOO! [dramatic reach for the fallen tower. then he's turning to the girl again, huffing and gnashing his teeth] HRGH! Chew on this!

[now Jyushimatsu tosses chopsticks, firing one right after the other. they imbed in the ground like daggers]

[kusogaki]

[ NO-- SHE CAN'T LET THIS GUY WIN. She grits her teeth, zig-zagging through the rain of chopsticks. She's almost out of the danger when one bounces off the ground and SHE'S HIT.

She shrieks as the force of the hit makes her do a 180. She brings her hands to her face, trembling. ]

N-n-n-no!! Call a doctor, yes?!

[ When she turns to face him again, she has both hands covering one eye. The chopstick is poking out from between her fingers, and something red is running down her cheek ]

[neetfreak]

[oh crap. did he actually stab her? well, what did he think was going to happen, flinging used, sharpened chopsticks at a young girl? Jyushimatsu panics for a moment, but then a thought occurs to him.

back when he used to play this game at home (which is part of a flashback that doesn't even exist), Osomatsu always liked to pretend he was injured so that he could take the winner's trophy (again, this never happened). Jyushi slams his hands down on the garbage brick in front of him, pointing an accusatory finger at her]

OBJECTION! [...] Ah, no, wait. That's wrong. [???] You think you can trick me? That's gotta be ketchup!
