I guess it's that time again, huh?

[Despite being dressed in a stark white shirt, matte black tie, and lacking his usual over-the-top effects, Josuke's face is lit up like the sun. He waves at the camera, giving the people he's speaking to his undivided attention. Behind him, people dressed similarly amble in the direction of Heropa's police academy, most seeming to pay him no mind, but a couple of the younger adults stopping to wave at the recording camera as some people can't help but do.]

There's a lot of new imPorts showing up. Think I even saw some heading to the houses near mine. Reminds me of when I got here two years ago...it's kinda hard to believe I'm going on the third year already.

[He scratches at the back of his head and then shrugs.]

Can't say it's been bad, though! I've met a lot of great people and had a lot of fun. But things can get sort of wild around here, you know? Which is what I really wanted to talk about. As amazing as this place can be...there's a lot of shit to watch out for and people to be wary of.

[Not naming any names, of course. Not yet.]

But don't worry. It really does get easier, and you're not alone.

[With a toothy grin, Josuke gives the camera a thumbs up.]

Anyway...I'm probably in for a long day here, but I'm thinking of catching a movie later. Any of you wanna come along, maybe make some friends and get to know the ropes a little, you're more than welcome!

Josuke, eh?

[So this will be random.]

Think I got a dick pic conversation meant for you the other day.

[ghoulking]

[ OH MY GOD ]

[unbreaker]

Oh my god!

[Josuke's reaction mirrors Kaneki's, only he hasn't the grace or presence of mind to keep it internalized...]

That's...yeah I...I think it's been sorted out by now! But I'm real sorry about that!

[As if it's even his fault.]

[catchacold]

Don't worry about it. So you're a dick pic expert?

[No, he doesn't assume so, he just assumes this is a chance to troll.]

[Josuke makes a sound like a broken radio.]

No! It's not like that at all!

[monge]

Monge~ That sure is nice of you to introduce everyone to the ropes, zura! You never really think about it, but ropes need friends too, zura.

[Komasan has never seen such kindness towards inanimate objects before.]

[unbreaker]

That's not...

[No, you know what? Why crush the yokai's dreams?]

...y-yeah, you're right. [Such sad why me laughter.] They can't tie themselves, after all.

[monge]

Being a rope must be so hard, zura...

[Thank goodness for people like Josuke.]

M-Maybe I can bring some ropes to the movie, I bet they'd really like that, zura.

[unbreaker]

Hey, if you do, they'll probably need a drink and a snack, too. Maybe...licorice?

[You know, because it's rope-like?

...or would that be too cannibalistic?]

On second thought, maybe just stick to popcorn.

As long as we don't see that World War Two one, I'm up for a film. They probably got all the details wrong anyway.

[ why yes, the Doctor has invited himself along to the movies. ]

[unbreaker]

If I wanted a history lesson I wouldn't go to the movies!

[Kids...]

I'm thinking we check out one of the latest action flicks! I'm kinda feeling the martial arts genre. Whaddya say, Doc?

video;

[helpline]

I think there's nothing wrong with the martial arts genre—that sounds perfect. Especially if there's some sort of ridiculous punching whatever.

video;

[unbreaker]

It's not martial arts if there isn't ridiculous punching! And we're not paying if it's not what we want!

[Is he...suggesting sneaking in?

Nah, couldn't be!]

[byblow]

Are they very hard to catch?

[ The movies. Fast? Big teeth or claws? Will they need traps? Help him. ]

[unbreaker]

Yes. Extremely. The good ones, anyway.

[Tickets sell out, seats fill up, it's a real pain in the ass!]

[byblow]

I see. [ He does not see. ] What do you do after you catch one?

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

What kind of movies are you even into?

[ Video ]

[unbreaker]

Oh, all kinds! I love action and martial arts movies, and you can't go wrong with a good comedy!

[To say the very least. Because, honestly, Josuke will watch just about anything that's entertaining. Even cheesy B-rated films. Especially the really old ones. The 'vintage' variety.]

I guess the right romance flicks aren't half bad, either! But no matter what, if I'm watching something it's gotta have a great soundtrack. If it can't even get that right, then what's the point, you know?

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

Romance flicks, really? Those very sappy and overused ones? [ AH he might be teasing ]

[oceanthief]

I want to see the one about fighting with blood.

[first of all, Lapis, what the fuck. secondly, you're going to be in for a big disappointment with the sort of misconception that title's foisted on you.

she seems so ridiculously serious about the whole thing, though, that it's a little comical. it's an expression more apt for deciding on whether or not to lay siege to the enemy's capital.]

video;

[unbreaker]

The one about fighting with...

[Oh.

For crying out loud, Lapis!]

...ooooh, that one. Yeah, that looks pretty wild, doesn't it? I was hoping for something with more martial arts, but there's probably a lot of kickass stunts in that one, too!

[oceanthief]

I just want to see what you're actually supposed to use the blood for.

[although she guesses if things get really violent then that's fine, too. it made the novelas on Notflix pretty exciting, so it should still hold true for a movie in theaters.]

[glowsferatu]

I'm not sure if you'd like the sort of movies I do, or maybe I'm just far too picky about the movies I want to see. There was one that sounded rather delicious from its title, but it turned out just to be another dull "rise of the underdog against all odds" boxing movie. Then they had a cartoon I thought might be good to bring Ashiah to, but the trolls looked all wrong, and I don't know why I expected anything else from a human-produced film.

I'm probably just not fun company at the cinema.

[unbreaker]

Theaters aren't the only way to watch movies. They're not even the best way! If you know what you like and you can watch it from the comfort of your own home...well, it doesn't get better than that!

But you know...if you wanna take a chance and come along anyway, I'm sure it'll be nice to have you. And Ashiah, too! Although I don't think we'll be watching anything appropriate for her age...

video.

[glowsferatu]

It's all a bit of a tossup, then. Either hunt down a babysitter, or take the risk with whatever's selected. But then, her birthday's coming up, so maybe I should take her for something.

Anyway, you're looking snappy! Off to class?
