01: Reality $ TEXT
[Okuyasu opts for a text message rather than a video as 1) it's kind of easy to figure out after some practice - it's like a computer, only the keys don't get stuck and 2) he hopes fewer people will recognize him from the tiny icon.]
you know after the past few days i think im finally getting that this is all real
that im not dreaming that i woke up in outer space and went to a planet where magic is real
does that make sense?
i guess what im trying to say is i suddenly realize that i was sleeping in a real bed in a real house and ate real food
but at the same time i cant completely accept it yet
and its confusing
i know it sounds pretty dumb but thats how I feel

I meant that it sounded like formal wear, though. The sort of thing you wear to a big party, y'know?
[ Hunk's spirit will leave his body if he sees Okuyasu wearing this to a formal event. ]
no subject
Okuyasu huffs.] That's my pride as a delinquent on the line. If I'm wearin' that outfit on the street, I'm not gonna get into fights that'll ruin it, duh.
[He would if Josuke had Crazy Diamond around to patch it up before anyone noticed.]
Besides, the only parties I'm gonna go to are birthday parties.
no subject
[ And then his eyebrows raise. Birthday parties? Oddly specific. ] ...And don't they tend to go to wild, dangerous parties? [ It's weird enough that Hunk's starting to think that Okuyasu isn't much of a delinquent at all. He has to stop himself from saying "like in the movies," because Okuyasu could respond in a weird way. ]
Like in the movies. [ Welcome to the final frontier. ]
no subject
Petty theft is more fun when you have superpowers.] And I get into fights whenever I feel like it. Delinquents don't follow the rules of society!
[In Japan, that can be as minor as modifying their school uniform. Just being "different" is enough to draw attention, and if it makes Okuyasu tough so be it.]
Man, my big brother never let me go to those sorta parties alone. There used to be all sort of crazy shit goin' on in Tokyo, but Morioh's so small it's almost sad. [He leans back on his chair.] But I got new friends, so I don't care anymore. Besides, how'm I gonna have a job if I don't finish high school?
no subject
Finishing high and getting a job doesn't sound like something a delinquent does. [ And he's got a bit of a smirk, because he knew Okuyasu was a good guy. ] What kinda job are you looking for?
no subject
That's 'cause they don't got anything to worry about. How're they gonna keep being punks if they don't have money? [Snort. Yeah, they need to look cool, but they should do that without breaking the band.]
I dunno. I guess some construction company will hire me if I'm strong enough.
no subject
You can do anything you want here, and you want to lift heavy stuff? [ He's a bit condescending. You can't really get a better job than Defender of the Universe, after all. ] With how you reacted to my cooking, you could probably make it as a food critic.
no subject
Nah, I was just excited. I'm better at the stuff that doesn't need much thinkin'. [He props a foot on the seat of his chair. Casual, rude sitting. See, he's a punk!] I'm strong, and there's nothing illegal about doin' labor.
no subject
You're still a pretty unique guy, Okuyasu. [ He's not gonna call him weird. Nope. ] Are all delinquents like you? [ Because Hunk's a bit too straight-laced to know otherwise. ]
no subject
no subject
A yankee? [ Blink. Blink. Staring. ] I thought you were from Japan, not New York. [ Did he miss something? Probably. There's a lot going on with this guy... ]
no subject
He pout.] Not yankee the American, ain't that obvious? Yankii like dressin' like an American. It's real popular with delinquents.
...Do Americans really call themselves Yankees?
no subject
But yankee and yankii sound basically the same, and if yankii is dressing like an American, then what's the difference? And- [ He stifles a laugh. Very poorly. ] What do you think Americans dress like?
no subject
no subject
[ Hunk's from far enough into the future that Austria's just a footnote, but he's one to focus on details, so. Onto the next: ] What kind of magazines did you read?
I'm dying
[Therefore it's not much of a stretch to refer to him as American. God, he feels so proud for figuring that logic puzzle.]
Like, the ones they got at convenience stores. They have a ton of articles about Americans and movies and shit. [They're all celebrities, though.]
S A M E
And if you go west for long enough, you end up where you started! [ And Hunk whines for a moment, before steeling his resolve. ] Have you ever even had a cheeseburger? Apple pie? French fries?!
If you wanna be a Yankee, you gotta eat the food. [ It always comdz back to food. ]
no subject
[He pulls his feet on the chair, wraps himself with his arms defensively.]
I had a cheeseburger when I lived in Tokyo. And I had French frieds. [He shared with Keicho after a tip to McDonald's. They don't have American chain restaurants in Morioh.]
no subject
One cheeseburger. Was it good, or was it McDonald's-tier? [ He is, of course, thinking of American McDonald's, but still. ] And no apple pie, either?
[ Hunk might be mentally sketching a trip to MogDonald's sometime soon... ]
no subject
It was good. [It was dinner.] McDonald's ain't shit. Just didn't have apple pie 'cause you get those in bakeries.
