he did, but still...
i'm contemplating things i'm afraid to text you because i feel like you'll storm over to make sure i'm still alive. does that seem emergency-ish or do you think it'll pass with time?

because i figured that would help you gauge if this is legitimately an emergency or not

[ He takes a breath when he finishes the song, and then quickly jumps forwards, the composed air of him gone. ]
Wh-what did you do that for?! I'll get a towel--weren't you already hurt?!

Oh, a towel would be wise...I am sorry about the mess.
[ He's only half paying attention, too transfixed by his arm, covered in blood but completely unharmed, like a masterful Halloween costume. It's a striking image...
Yusuke is looking a little pale, and maybe that's making his judgement poor (or maybe that's his default). He goes for.his phone, with blood still damp on his hands, to take a picture of the bizarre lack of carnage on his other arm. ]
Of course not, I would have been taken a much more urgent tone if I had been.

[ He's jogging back with pursed lips, cleaning up and handing another few towels to Yusuke and expecting him to cle--did he just... ]
Why are you taking pictures...?! I didn't think it was a serious injury... you should warn me before you do something like that, my training just kicked in...!

I did not want to interrupt.
[ Yusuke puts the phone down on the table and takes a hand towel to wipe up his arm. ]
It was not my intention to startle you, but now you know that it works. That should grant you peace of mind. You won't have to test it for the first time during an emergency. I would say that is worth a bit of bloodletting.

| | I would've been fine if you interrupted... [ Hajime just heaves a loud sigh, peering up to make sure Yusuke's cleaning himself up. Jeez... it's hard to level an unimpressed stare at Yusuke, but Hajime's doing it. You can almost hear his judging. ] ... thank you? Kitagawa-san, you're... really something. |
I do not cut myself open because I enjoy it. You need to be familiar with the effectiveness of your powers for when something happens.
[ He can feel the judgement! Good thing he is completely sure that he is right, Hajime can overreact if he pleases. ]
They are remarkable. You should be proud.

[ Yeah, Hajime's keeping that level stare. He's learning from Yuri, it seems. It falls away much quicker, though, and he heaves a sigh, pushing back some of his hair as he gets to his feet.
Yusuke obviously isn't going to budge on that, so... ]
I'm not sure how to feel about your praise... isn't it a waste that I'm not using them as much, if they're so good? Maybe I should rethink my goal...

[ Yeah, he's used to not being taken seriously. ]
Mm, but I won't be if I get serious about being the best idol I can be. I wouldn't want to make the audience feel something they shouldn't... and if my emotions got out of hand, they might not trust me to do something else, since there's more friction between imPorts and civilians now.
I wanted to help anyone fighting in battle when I first got here, but since I can't fight... I figured it wouldn't be a good idea. If I'm a good support, though...

[ Hajime rubs the back of his neck, looking at anywhere but Yusuke. ]
We're taught some self-defense at school, and I was... not very good. I've been working on my upper body strength, though~ I was hoping to try and get into the karate club! But... well, I was pulled here before the new year started.
I don't have any time to try outside of school, I have my siblings to take care of and live shows... so I just haven't had time.

You don't have them to take care of here.
[ Blunt. So blunt. Sorry he's like this. ]
You have all the time in the world now. I could show you some things, if you wanted.
[ Yusuke doesn't look like much of a fighter...but he's secretly the high crit rate big gun on his team. JRPGs, man. Even if he's thin and unimposing, there's a sincerity and intensity that might make the offer convincing. That, or the way his reaction to chopping himself up was artistic curiosity and not shock and terror. ]

[ To this, Hajime blinks.
... and then gently reaches a hand out to touch Yusuke's forehead, the other hand on his own, as if to make sure he doesn't have a temperature. A very PA way of saying 'are you crazy?' ]

Um, well... I don't really know your abilities, Kitagawa-san.
Could it even be something I could learn?
[ If he's being serious... it's always the quiet and kind of eccentric people who have the wildest powers, right? That's what he knows from manga, anyway. ]

My own world is closer to this one than it is to Yuri's.
[ Which says nothing about his powers at all! ]
I have skills outside of my powers. I am not a martial artist, I am a swordsman, and an excellent shot, at well, though I haven't had the time to practice much, lately.

A... swordsman?
[ Hajime cants his head, gears turning in his head, though he grimaces a bit. ]
Ah--I wouldn't... I don't want to use anything like a gun, it's not... [ He lets out a soft puff of air, looking a bit uncomfortable. ] You really have a sword?

Of course...He's uh--He approached me to get information. Continuing the OTO case.
[Much as it might help Constellation, there's no denying that OTO was something that needed to be dealt with.]
But--I said I came here with a plan. Ready to hear it?
