first at-bat [video]

[yoghurts]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

[ take one for the team, mion... ]

I don't think it's a good idea to tease her too much... [ you have to do it just the right amount. ] Oh, that's a good idea. Lead the way, Shion. [ he's counting on you... ]

[ gives him an excited thumbs up. she's got this!! you can depend on her forever zodion-kun, don't worry. ]

Did they assign you a house?

[yoghurts]

[ he smiles back and returns the thumbs up, albeit a bit goofily. because that's just how he rolls. ]

That's right... what was it again? Oh, yeah, "Hel." Sounds spooky, doesn't it?

[stungun]

Hel... [ he's nothing like the Hel people she knows........... ] I guess it sounds cool, though...!! "I'm in hell!" "I'm in Loki!" See which sounds more awesome?

[yoghurts]

[ he can sense Death. ] It does sound kind of flashy, doesn't it? Maybe a little too flashy for me. What about you, Shion? Does that mean you're in this Loki place?

[stungun]

That's right... Don't listen to what anyone tells you, Loki is a great place.

[yoghurts]

...do people say something different?

[ shion why are you in the trickster house... you seemed like such a nice, straightforward girl. o_o ]

[stungun]

Of course. They're just jealous, though. Loki and Sigyn are the best houses!

[yoghurts]

They must be. Sigyn sounds really nice, and Loki has to be special too if you're there.

[stungun]

... [ a-ah...?! ] Satoshi-kun is too nice...

[yoghurts]

Really? Did I say something strange?

[stungun]

N-no! [ she had to fiercely defend her honour now, despite being completely enamored with him ] Ah it's... just really good to see you! I'm just recovering from the shock, you see.

[yoghurts]

Oh, I guess you probably weren't expecting to see me here, huh? [ in more ways that one... ] Sorry for just popping up unannounced. I'd have warned you first, but I don't think I could do that here.

[stungun]

[ ugh, why is he so sweet. she wants to laugh at him, but can't. ]

Hee, don't worry about it. As long as you're here, it's all fine!

[yoghurts]

[ it's okay, you can laugh at him if you want... ]

I'll try not to cause you too much trouble.

[stungun]

[ HAHAHA.... no she can't this time :'( ]

Cause me trou-- as if you could! I can handle anything, don't worry. You're a breeze after Satoko.

[yoghurts]

After Satoko?

[ blink. ] What do you mean? [ when have you ever had to take care of satoko, shion... other than throwing her around and stuff anyway.......... ]

[stungun]

[ ........................she'd....never hurt satoko................. moving on!!!!!!!! ]

Ah... Mion and I took her to the pool one day! [ covers up like a boss. ] It was a lot of fun, but she sure doesn't like sunscreen.

[yoghurts]

Oh, you did that? Yeah, she can be a little... [ spoiled. ]

But I'm glad you did! I'm sure she really had a lot of fun. I really appreciate it. [ he's not going to think too hard about when that would have actually been possible in the timeline, mostly because thinking too hard about things isn't something he really does... ]

[stungun]

[ she's so glad that the boy she likes is a simpleton... oh but he's being nice again, jeez... if anyone sees her like this, they'll think she's a whole other person!! some one who can be affected by such cute statements and--

...damn. ]

It's no problem! One day we'll all go together, okay?

[yoghurts]

[ hm... she doesn't seem any different from the usual shion to him. even if he thought she was mion for the majority of their time together. ]

Alright, that's a problem.

[ he pauses, before adding with a slight smile and a nod.] It's a date. [ just, you know... one between friends where your little sister is there too. ]

1/3

[stungun]

[ ah he agreed, how wonderful!

and-- ]

2/3

[stungun]

[ d...d....da...te............?!?!?!?! ]

3/3

[stungun]

[ get a grip sonozaki. but she can't help it... she's happy... uwoo. ]

That... that sounds great, then!

[ she's okay with satoko going too, though... that would be even funner... ]

[yoghurts]

[ uwoooooooo. ]

It'll have to wait until we get out of here though, huh?

[ can't go without satoko after all... yep........... ]
