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.

[takebow]

Hey, that's definitely worth a shot. Plenty of people know how, I'm sure.

[yoghurts]

Then I'll go around and ask. It might be a lot of fun... that's probably what people need around here.

[takebow]

[She laughs a little.] Well, I prolly can't play... But, I'll watch for sure.

[yoghurts]

Why can't you play? [ o_o ]

[takebow]

Well... cuz, I never have before. And don't girls play softball instead anyway?

[yoghurts]

Oh, that's true. Maybe we'll play softball instead then. There are a lot of people that don't know how to play... but learning how is pretty fun! If I can find a bunch of beginners, you should try playing with them.

[takebow]

Well, a bunch of beginners is what it won't be so hard to find, is my guess... But, sure, Houjou-kun.

[yoghurts]

That's true. It's probably easier to find people like that, huh? The tricky part is just getting them to say yes.

[takebow]

Well, ya got one, at least... I'll ask a couple people if you want. I dunno, maybe my boyfriend would be interested.

[yoghurts]

Oh, you have a boyfriend? Then he should definitely be interested! I'm sure he'll want to impress you.

[takebow]

Haha... I don't think he has to impress me anymore. But, it still might be something fun to do.

[yoghurts]

He doesn't have to, but he probably still wants to anyway.

[takebow]

W-Well, maybe. I wouldn't complain.

[yoghurts]

That's just how guys are.

[takebow]

... Do you have a girlfriend, Houjou-kun?

[yoghurts]

Eh? Ah, no way. There's no one interested in me like that. Hahah, I never had time for that sort of stuff either.

[takebow]

[then who's that girl in your icon]

... Well, you seem to know a lot about it anyway.

[yoghurts]

[ a nice friend. ]

You think so? I'm just saying stuff any guy would think.

[takebow]

[WOW she's gonna be heartbroken]

No... Definitely no. You're doing a lot better than most guys already.

[yoghurts]

[ he doesn't know any better okay... ]

You think so? Hm... it's probably just a lot harder when you're actually involved.

[takebow]

Huh... Maybe. I don't think it's that complicated, but... maybe I'm just lucky.

[or maybe she doesn't understand how little guys understand...]

[yoghurts]

Well, you like your boyfriend, right?

That's all that really matters.

[takebow]

....

Yeah. You're right.

[Slightly somber pause. DEAD GUY WALKING

But then--]

But, anyway. What house are you in, Houjou-kun?

[yoghurts]

Oh... um... Hel!

What about you, Yukari-san?

[takebow]

.... Hel House, huh?

[THE WEIRD HOUSE. yeah she's a little house-racist.]

I'm from Freya.
