[some open prompts] What a Way to Make an Entrance

[relieable]

WHO: Osomatsu and various, and YOU
WHERE: the Eluvio, Bajikan
WHEN: during the fleet's orbit of Bajikan
WHAT: Osomatsu appears! he makes new friends, finds his brothers, and has a grand old time on the planet where dreams come true...?
WARNINGS: swearing, substance use, and adult themes, probably. shouldn't be too bad


I) before Mar 8 - Eluvio - Shopping Centre [ota]

[so, this was it. outer space! Osomatsu has barely been on the Eluvio for a day, and he's already searching for a bar. he's got a lot on his mind. he's wondering how exactly he arrived... sure, there was a presentation, and some kind of explanation, but he had barely listened, because it was boring. and he couldn't understand the parts he did listen to. so he's left wondering why, and how. and if he'll ever get home.

at the same time. he's in freaking outer space! that's cool as anything! it's cool enough to almost make him forget about the crap he was going through at home. yeah, where his brothers all left the house...

it's been weeks since he's seen Choromatsu, and a little less time since he's seen the others. and he knows at least one of them is on this very ship, since one of the crew members made a comment about him already going through orientation. he doesn't know which brother it is yet, but he's going to find out.... mmmmaybe later. because he's not certain he can deal with it right now.

he wants to get drunk first! so Osomatsu is looking around the Shopping Centre, since he was told that was where he would find food and drink. he's passed a couple bars already, but he hasn't seen one that strikes his fancy yet. he pauses outside one of them, rubbing his chin in thought]

How's the food here? [he'll ask to anyone that's nearby]

II) Mar 9 - Eluvio - Black Market [ota]

[ha! a black market! on the fleet! no way! the rumors were right. it has all sorts of fun things to play with! your character maybe told Osomatsu about this place, or even escorted him there, because he wouldn't have been able to find it on his own. now you... can't stop him... he's rushing from stand to stand, looking at all the neat weapons]

Man, this is so cool! [we're all just waiting for him to say, what does this button do, and blow up the ship... better keep him on a leash, or something]

III) after Mar 9 - Bajikan - Avaritia [closed to Dorothy]

[when learning about the different districts of Bajikan, Osomatsu knew almost instantly that he wanted to go to Avaritia. legal gambling? casinos? seriously?! how could he pass that up? he doesn't have a lot of money, but maybe he could win some...

he breathes in the air, feeling great. it smells like fresh cash, and it instantly clouds his head with the desire for more, more than what he has, more of everything. he's not paying attention to anything happening in front of him while he's walking, because his gaze is pulled in every direction. so he runs right into a young lady. whoops!]

A-a-ahh! Sorry! Are you okay?

IV) mid Mar - Bajikan - Ira [ota]

[as much as Osomatsu loves Avaritia, he wants to check out some of the other districts, as well. he visits each of them, stays longer in some than in others. and then he finally finds his way to Ira. Ira makes him feel... complicated. his thoughts return to his brothers, and how they left him, and he becomes angry. he wants to fight.

maybe your character sees him trying to pick on someone twice his size. maybe Osomatsu is trying to get you to fight him! whatever the case may be, this NEET is way out of his league, but he's upset. he'll take on you, and you, and, what the hell, you, too! he's going to pretend you're Choromatsu and punch you in your stupid face!]

V) mid Mar - Bajikan - Acedia [closed to Karamatsu]

[someone finally managed to pull Osomatsu away from Ira. that... that was rough, man. h shouldn't have gone in there. how nice it is, once he gets to Acedia, where he feels so peaceful. he wants to relax, spend the rest of his days here.

at some point, or another, Osomatsu finds an opium den. and he decides to crash there for a while. he's lounging on a big red pillow, in cozy pajamas, inhaling the drug from a pipe and wondering what he's been doing with his life. this place... maybe he should stay here! no one would force him to get a job, he could be free and everyone would be nice and friendly... yeah, sounds like a good idea to him...]

Comments

[relieable]

[oh. so they were going to talk about this. Osomatsu almost feels sick for a brief moment. he stays calm, thanks to the air and the opium. but still... rough subject]

Hey, hey! It's in the past! [he grips Karamatsu's shoulder, gently shaking him. Osomatsu is a lot more angry about the subject than he can portray right now, but that's probably good. as long as they stay here, he's not going to be mad] You and I are here, now! Together again! Pretty soon, we'll all be together again!

[glitterpants]

_{[ And just like that? All is well. Karamatsu is a little ditzy when it comes to reading the atmosphere, so okay. All is well and that's great. We won't speak of how he betrayed loyalty to Osomatsu to go out and live his own. Awesome. Cool.
Karamatsu agrees, though, especially after seeing what can happen on this ship. ]}

It's better like that. I'm upset we are away from our home, but..
I believe we all can make a good living here until we can get back.

_{[ He believes there's a way..
And look, there's finally a smile, eyes half lidded as he feels himself completely mellow out. ]}

[relieable]

[this won't be the end of it, probably. but, for now? all is well! Osomatsu laughs, pulling his hand back and rubbing under his nose. Karamatsu looks much better with a smile]

You think we're gonna be able to get back home?

[glitterpants]

I know so.
I have faith in us, my brother.

_{[ He turns to look at Osomatsu, his smile only growing slightly.
He's relieved his only big brother is finally here, even if that means he's away from home as well. ]}

[relieable]

[aww! don't smile at him like that! it's too cute! it's too bad Karamatsu's face is all banged up. but still, it's a nice moment...

he finally tears his gaze away from his brother and flops down into the cushion]

I'm not sure it's faith in us that's gonna get us home, Karamatsu. When I got here, the video said something about our arrival being caused by "anomalies." [Osomatsu makes quotes with his fingers] That makes me think it's their fault we're here.

[glitterpants]

_{[ then almost instantly: ]}

We should kill'em. Put an end to it.
_{[ oh..... is that.. even possible...... what.. ]}

[relieable]

[w h a t]

...Yeah, but. Which them? We don't even know who's responsible. It's definitely their fault... I just don't know who they are. Yet.

[what are they even talking about]

[glitterpants]

This place isn't safe, and I'm angry that we've been brought here in such an unhealthy environment.
I've been thinking a lot about it, and I wonder... I wonder if...
_{[ a dramatic pause. ]}

We've all been lied to.
_{[ Karamatsu, please. A lot of people have been thinking this already— that maybe all of this is a set up and not by random. Maybe they were brought here specifically to die. ]}

I am losing faith in the crewmen, captains, and pilots on the Eluvio after what I have seen and experienced. Is that wrong of me?
_{[ oh god, guilt again.. ]}

[relieable]

[heeeeh... even if other people are thinking this, Osomatsu hasn't talked to them. he's only talked to Karamatsu, and Dorothy about... whatever is happening. he pushes up on his arms]

I don't think it's wrong. I've only been here a little while, and I don't have faith in 'em. After what you've gone through, I would think you'd be upset.

[ah... Osomatsu wasn't going to bring that up... he quickly tries to change the subject]

But, I mean! We can hold out a little bit longer, right? See if this crew is really all that bad. It's been kinda nice meeting people, don't ya think?

[glitterpants]

_{[ Osomatsu is so.. optimistic and carefree. With what all that has happened, it's.. refreshing.. and his presence and happy words are enough to get Karamatsu to relax, along with the air and the drug he's taking, he feels the need to agree. ]}

Ah, yeah.. perhaps you are right.
It has been.. incredible meeting people, my brother.

_{[ A pause. ]}

I wish.. people liked us sooner than this.
_{[ AW. ]}

[relieable]

[AWW... that's one way to bring down the conversation again! talk about a buzzkill]

...Don't worry about that. [he sits up, reaching for the pipe] It's our time now, Karamatsu. We're gonna be so popular, we know what to do with all our new friends!

[glitterpants]

Tch. I know of several things I would like to do with a few of them.
_{[ BE GOOD, YOU TWO.. ]}

[relieable]

[whoa! TMI, bro! or not really. nothing's TMI for Osomatsu, probably]

Oh, yeah? [he grins, leaning in a little] Like who?

[glitterpants]

_{[ they're both gross..????
anyway, he's at ease and feeling great, he'll spill it: ]}

Hmph. Very well, if you insist so much. _{[ he's.. hardly insisting at all.. ]}

First off, there is a princess aboard the ship, she is the princess of my heart: Princess Allura.
Carolina-san, a person with a cold exterior, but she cares, I promise.
Sombra-san, a gorgeous and mysterious flower, covered in many thorns. Do I even dare?
There is also Miss Dorothy... I appreciate her... enthusiasm.

_{[ there's more, there are, but he doesn't know them very well.. he just knows they're cute, pretty, badass, or some sick combination of all. ]}

My treasured Karamatsu Girls.

[relieable]

Whoa! You've met that many already? [sounds like girls galore over here! and they all have such sexy-sounding names... Allura, Carolina, Sombra... and of course, Dorothy] ...Do any of 'em... like you back?

[glitterpants]

_{[ well, at that question...
Karamatsu leans back against all of the pillows, dramatically silent for awhile, and then: ]}

They are all playing hard to get. Heh. It's absolutely adorable— I'll never grow tired of the whims of a mysterious lady. ♡
_{[ NO THEY JUST DON'T LIKE YOU. ]}

[relieable]

[ah... that sounds normal. Osomatsu's almost relieved. he lets out a chuckle and flops back onto the cushion completely. yeah, let Karamatsu think he's got a gaggle of girls. that's his dumb, painful brother]

Me neither, pal. Me neither. [now all Osomatsu had to do was find a girl of his own]

[glitterpants]

_{[ he's so relaxed and so... high..... he just starts going on... ]}

Ah.. especially when they kiss you.. and touch you.. and go on a date with you, but decline your interests later.
_{[ somebody's a little salty, but he says this with a drunken smile.. ]}

[relieable]

[w h a t .

Osomatsu sits up again, tilting his head. because Karamatsu can't mean...]

Hold on. You... got to kiss someone? [please tell him he heard that wrong]

[glitterpants]

_{[ His cheeks brighten and burn, memories flooding through his mind. ]}

Hmph. Of course~ There was plenty of kissing.
Did you not visit Luxuria yet, Osomatsu-niisan? The women there are.. very eager. About everything.
Everything.

[relieable]

[........]

S-sure, I visited it! But I... uh. I didn't see any eager women. [maybe because he was spending his time in the viewing rooms, watching porn. it didn't even occur to him to try looking for the real thing. or, maybe it did. maybe he was just nervous]

[glitterpants]

Perhaps it is because your attire is so bland.
_{[ SHOTS FIRED. Wear things more flashy, big brother!
it's okay they can insult each other as much they want here, the calming air will keep them from getting too riled up. ]}

[relieable]

[FRYSQUINT boy you're lucky we're not in Ira]

....I guess so...

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Karamatsu just laughs— legitmately laughs at Osomatsu's response. Talking with him has been such a positive feeling, and this calming air.. this.. stuff they were smoking. It's exactly what he needed.

He slumps sideways against his big brother, much too relaxed to care about anything, closing his eyes. ]</sub>

Things will be better with you here.
_{[ Karamatsu was one who was for independence. It felt good to get away from home, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't miss them after they all moved out. ]}

[relieable]

[ah. first Karamatsu insults him, then he says something completely nice? he plays dirty! Osomatsu would punch him in the face were he not drugged.

...he can't stay mad at Karamatsu when he's being cute! ugh! sometimes he hates him, but then loves him all the same]

Things are always better with me! I'm the party, dude. [his eyes slide shut and he leans back into Karamatsu. fine, then. he'll forget that he called him bland. just for now] Actually, I'm just happy to see you again.
