047 [fourth of july action spam!]

[twinknife]

[Damn this city gets CROWDED during a festival! Peeling out of the crowds below, Yosuke starts picking his way up the hillside, guitar-shaped hardcase in one hand and a plastic bag full of beer swinging from the other. The crowd is still sparse this far up, as the sun is only just beginning to set, and people are still too preoccupied with catching the tail end of the daylight hours to bother worrying about fireworks.

Which is what finds Yosuke standing at the crest of one of the highest hills in central city's famous park, in the shade of a morose-looking willow tree. With a shout that disrupts some of the other early birds scattered sparsely around them - mostly families and couples snuggling on blankets - he waves down the hill to his partner, who is currently carrying the other half of their gear.]

Hey, over here! This spot's perfect!!



((ooc: at the fireworks tonight? Feel free to run into these dips. Friends of said dips, feel free to drop by and hang out!!))

[The gray-haired boy doesn't seem like much of a talker, but he does have a very welcoming presence. He's also supporting a blue glowing raver-necklace that makes him stand out even more against the advancing dusk. He follows Yosuke's gaze to the girl, and offers her a faint smile.]

[She does indeed notice the glowing necklace, but doesn't seem put off by it. Rather, she seems more...curious.]

Hey. What is that?

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

[Lifts a hand, waving it once in greeting as she approaches. He gives a glance to the girl, and then back to his glowing necklace. He quirks his lips at her and gives her an ironic smile.]

Just a piece of glowing jewelry.

[And before she can say anything else, he's slipping it from around his neck and handing it to her.]

[I lack a proper "surprised" icon for this]

[Well, that was surprising. Lilu's not used to receiving gifts from strangers. (Except stones, and other not-nice-things.) She hasn't received a proper present ever since she was a kid, so she felt...]

Huh? I didn't ask you to give it to me.

[Souji just gives her a shrug. The loss of his glowing necklace doesn't seem to phase him. Small things here and there were just details in his life, and he found that if he offered them to others, that things moved a lot more smoothly.]

I can get another one if I want it. Besides, it doesn't last that long, and you look like you'd enjoy it.

[princessof-ruin.livejournal.com]

It won't last long, huh.

[That saddened her, since it was a pretty necklace.]

Can you make it last longer?

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

[The gray-haired boy gives her an awkward look, glancing between the necklace in her hand and her face.]

Not past tonight.

[twinknife]

[Popping up suddenly between the two! Forgot he was here, didn't you.]

Actually, I've heard if you keep 'em in the freezer, you can get a few more hours of out of it.

You just have to wait til the glowy... gooey stuff freezes, and then snap... it...


[Yosuke's well aware that he sounds far too knowledgeable about this sort of thing, so he just quits while he's ahead, letting his sentence trail off and falling sheepishly back to picking at his guitar.]
