VIDEO ► no "good deed" goes unpunished

Yosuke Hanamura shared a video.
02/15 near Recolle High


[ The first thing that should be obvious to anyone viewing this video is that Yosuke Hanamura ([personal profile] youraffection) is not alone. The second thing may be that he is having a very bad day. It’s a shot of him literally tied to the bottom of the school’s flagpole with several layers of rope that Eleanor Lamb ([personal profile] notyourutopian) has just finished tying off. Standing off to one side is Yukiko Amagi ([personal profile] burningblossoms), holding up a small sign stating: 'Local Boy learns a valuable lesson about consent.' She doesn’t say anything yet, but there’s a grimly satisfied look on her face as she looks at the camera.

Yosuke groans, trying to duck his head and hide his face. But let’s be real, who else would it be?

Eleanor gives the ropes a firm jerk once the knot is tied, to make sure they won't come loose without help, and then steps a bit to the side, her hands on her hips as she not-quite-glares at Yosuke. ]


So, Yosuke. What have we learned today?

[ Yosuke grimaces, what’s left of his dignity probably properly trampled under their shoes by now. ] Are you kidding me...?

[ Eleanor glances from him to the camera to Yukiko, then back to him. ] The sooner you answer, the sooner this is all over.

[ Yosuke sighs, hanging his head. ] "Ask first"...

Mmhmm. Ask first because...?

Because if I don’t someone’s going to steal my phone and take embarrassing videos--hey, wait--are you live streaming???

That's not it. And don't worry about the camera, just answer the question.

Oh man, this is... [ Grumble, grumble. ] "Ask first because..."

[ Yukiko steps closer, eyes fixed on Yosuke’s as he hesitates, her mouth set in a dangerous line. ] Because why. No mumbling.

[ Boy is Yukiko scary when she’s...Yukiko. ] B-Because no girl should ever be forced into an awkward situation, romantic or otherwise??

Good! Perfect, [ Eleanor claps her hands together. ] I think this was a good learning experience for everyone, right? Okay. I guess we're done?

Yep! Time to head home. Wanna hit the bakery on the way, Eleanor?

W-Wait a sec! What about me!?

That sounds great, Yukiko. We've certainly earned it, [ Eleanor completely ignores Yosuke, instead moving to pick up her backpack from where she set it nearby. ] Don't forget to leave the sign.

Great. I’ll drive then. Let’s go. [ Yukiko sets the sign down by Yosuke's feet and gets her own bag before the two girls disappear off-screen.

The sound of footsteps provides a telling beat to Yosuke’s subsequent shouts after them. And, naturally, he’s left alone with his shame. If alone also means whoever is watching this. ]


You’ve gotta be kidding me...!

[ But then, suddenly, a possible savior arrives. A Karkat Vantas ([personal profile] alienates) approaches Yosuke and stops, right in front of the camera. He looks backwards, stares directly at the screen for a moment, before just shrugging to pull out his own phone to take a picture of Yosuke. He then walks over, pats the guy on the shoulder, and just fucking leaves. Just kidding. Yosuke is still boned. ]

[Judging by his comments, he can tell that he's serious regarding his love life.]

Augustine Sauveterre Maybe you shouldn't give it up because of one misfortune...
Augustine Sauveterre I mean, there's always next time.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

I haven't actually been on a date in ages but it felt fine.

[ and there's a small pause of a few seconds before this next following message rolls in ]

Souji Narukami Plus, I'll still be your friend

Keigo Higashino well, that's good
Keigo Higashino but you're not getting off the hook

I thought so, but I just wanted to hear you say it.

[A sigh. One of relief, but also of annoyance. Despite being a teacher, he generally doesn't like disciplining students because he's afraid it'll either be too tough or not tough enough. Hence why he'll just send someone to the office or bring them down himself. Having plenty of students be intimidated by you certainly helps keep them in line, though.]

So. You essentially pulled a prank on some people and they returned the favor in kind. Is that right?

BE HIS ~FRIEND~ YOOSK

Augustine Sauveterre Just... keep trying until you get there.

[He seriously needs to work on his advice more. Especially to unlucky guys like Yosuke.]
tarotcards: (souji2)

DIE FOR HIM NOW PLZ

[personal profile] tarotcards 2017-02-22 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Souji Narukami Well, there's always a start of something new
Souji Narukami We could begin the world's first hermit society where everyone lives in their own caves but occassionally come out to pick up their order from Amazon
notyourutopian: (Harumph.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-02-22 08:34 am (UTC)(link)

Minako Arisato hey don't let it get you down
Minako Arisato it's social media, people will forget
Minako Arisato or at the very least only remember if there's ever the mention of the word 'flagpole' somewhere
Minako Arisato will your dignity feel better if I drop off a couple cupcakes with you?

You're welcome. Would this mean that if we did have another blind dating event, you'd voluntarily sign up for it next time?
notyourutopian: (Restless Nights)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-02-23 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really certain.
