⚓ first crash; video

[unbreakably]

[ Hey guys, have a guy with ridiculous hair over the communicators today. He looks a little hesitant, as if he's not used to talking to a lot of people like this, but.. whatever, he's going to do it. ]

So.. uh, I know there's a lot of confusing shit going on, but I just realised there was something I forgot to ask the first day. It was sort of important, so I'm just gonna ask it now..

Do people back home notice we're gone? I mean, that's gonna be a problem, y'know! My mom's gonna flip, she'll murder me if I suddenly disappear! [ Or.. well, the reason is more like.. ] .. and I don't wanna worry her. [ Cute, Josuke. ]

[ Josuke's just gullible. Or rather, he has strong emotional reactions to everything.. ]

Of course I'm gonna do that. They already told me I'm a Weapon, I just gotta figure out how to transform into one and then I'll be right there. It's about protecting people, after all.

[anpan_tan]

Yeah, it is. And transforming is not as hard as you would think, just ask for someone to frighten the hell out of you, and you're there. It worked perfectly for me.

[unbreakably]

... So it's a little like curing hiccups?

[ No, it's nothing like that, Josuke... ]

LOL

[anpan_tan]

Huh?

Nonono, it does not cure anything, it causes changes in your physical body and you suddenly turn into your Weapon form, just like when you slap someone instinctively to defend yourself. Yes, it's kind of an instinct, I guess.

[Yamazaki would gladly hiccup throughout the rest of his life if he didn't have to turn to a sword again!]

[unbreakably]

But that's way awkward if we transform everytime we get shocked! I mean, I don't wanna walk around in the hallways of the apartment buildings and turn into a weapon just since something decided to fall down hard all of a sudden or whatever! [ Or in even more awkward situations.. ]

[anpan_tan]

It's not just the apartment, kid. On the street. In the bar. When you're with your friends. During job interviews. Everywhere

[Yamazaki mutters in light despair. Usually transforming doesn't work like this, but Yamazaki's life is about turning to a sword and back for about a few months now.]

[unbreakably]

EVERYWHERE?!

[ Way to freak out a new person. ]

So I always gotta watch it?! No way, that sounds like way too much of a pain in the ass...!

[anpan_tan]

Everywhere...

[Yamazaki still can't fully accept the things happening to him.]

That's why you should go to the Morning Training. There you can find a mentor who could teach you how to survive Death City.

[unbreakably]

Dude, sounds like I have no choice for sure.. [ You succesfully frightened him, Yamazaki. ] I don't wanna embarass myself in public here all the time, everyone will think I'm crazy!

[anpan_tan]

Believe me, it is a good choice. Morning trainings are very useful for newly arrived people. [He didn't meant to frighten Josuke, he just wanted to help him. And he believes he did it. But don't worry over local persons opinion about your mental health. There are lots of crazy people here, you won't be too outstanding.

[unbreakably]

Are you saying you would be okay with it if people thought you were crazy?! I sure as hell ain't, I'd already feel bad if just a few people thought that-- that's since I'm not crazy to begin with..!

[anpan_tan]

[...]

Many people already think I am crazy and I don't have too much problem with it. It's a bit hard at the beginning, but later you won't even notice that people think you're a madman.

[Yamazaki is just awesome in encouraging people!]

[unbreakably]

....

[ He.. just.. blinks.. Josuke is trying to figure out what is even up with this guy as he stares. ]

Do you got a few screws loose up there for real or what?

[anpan_tan]

.....

[Yamazaki gives Josuke another radiant smile]

No, my girlfriend says I'm normal...in the world I came from it was normal to be like this...

[unbreakably]

I'm pretty sure I never want to visit a world full of loons like that..

[ Thankfully he only has to deal with one. Right? ]

[anpan_tan]

It hurts!

And I'm glad I don't have to visit a world where chickens like you come from...

[Yes, yes, Yamazaki is the only loon around, Josuke is safe.]

[unbreakably]

[ .. Oh. Oh wait. Nobody just calls Josuke a chicken and gets away with it. Even though her seemed pretty friendly before, there's a glint in his eyes now.. ]

What did you call me, punk?

[anpan_tan]

[More negative CR, great. Yamazaki is a socializing expert.]

Chicken. Are you denying it right after stated you were afraid of being thought of an idiot?

[unbreakably]

There's a difference between wanting to keep a good reputation and being a coward, asswipe..! [ Josuke is friendly up until the point where he's insulted, basically.. ] If you wanna go, I'm ready anytime!

[anpan_tan]

And what do you call it when you're afraid of giving up your good reputation, then? [It's no question that Josuke's right, but Yamazaki's such a stubborn jerk sometimes I do want to go! Let's go to have a drink and talk about being chicken and idiot...

[unbreakably]

.. Wha-- no, that's not what I meant by wanna go! I mean outside to fight, asshole..! No one calls Josuke Higashikata a chicken and gets away with it, got it?!

[anpan_tan]

Huh? I'm not going to fight you. You're not here to fight me but protect this city. Besides you just called me asshole, so we are even now. And if you don't want free drink any my sincere apologies, it's good for me.

[unbreakably]

Man, what kinda moron are you?! Are your brains completely screwed up or what?!

[anpan_tan]

I'm a police officer kind of moron. And you?

[He'd really like to know.]

[unbreakably]

[ ...

He's speechless. Just.. completely speechless. He has a feeling he'll just never understand this guy. ]

Nevermind, you must not have brains at all up there!
