Event Five.





So here I’ve stood for forty years
In dark and dust and creaky sounds,
Waiting for her to say, “Turn around.”
This might not be just what she meant,
But me – I’m so obedient.





t first, it seems a little too simple for a true test of morals. Don't eat, don't take, don't look? The most basic of requirements. And with guides, it isn't too difficult at all to avoid those obvious pitfalls.

At least, until the Town's suddenly far, far too empty, almost eerily so -- until there's nobody there but your fellow reds, or blues or yellows, in a town that is far too big for just a portion of the people there.

And that's when the true test starts. Good luck.

[ After spending a total of 2 days in Red Town, where his time was occupied primarily with searching for his non-Red homies and resisting the expensive shoes and socks that keep appearing to him, Josuke finally succumbed. All it took was one bottle of hair gel. One bottle. Not even the expensive kind, either. One bottle.

After the minute of body horror as he feels himself disappearing, the drama at least seems to be over, because this next town he's in happens to be exactly the same. No, he didn't hella die because of hair gel. That's really good to know.

When he sees the familiar head of miscoloured hair (why is Okuyasu a deviant-art OC), Josuke's practically dashing toward him, too ecstatic for words. He's less dramatic and loud as he was when Okuyasu fucking died in his arms, but it's close. ]


OKUYASU! What the fuck, man?! That's where you were the whole time? You asshole! [ Intense dash-hug. Here we go. He's even happy to see the stupid-ass frog.

Also, Okuyasu might notice that Josuke's hair is down at this point. The pomp was strong, but not strong enough to last more than a week without gel. ]

josuke must be the host of such an event......

[Okuyasu has bounced from one mostly-empty town back to another in record time, so he's not any happier to be out of blues only-ville when he gets back and still no one is there. It sucks! He's been sulking! So much that when he finally sees someone he gives a shit about coming toward him, he doesn't even notice Josuke's hair... looks like such shit.... so sad.

Anyway, it's the dude!!!]


Josuke!! What the hell do you mean, the whole time?! I've been looking for you for two days, you bastard!

[Get over here and get noogied mid-hug, you jerk!!!]
nipzips: (it's been 97 years why am i not done)

yes, please rsvp

Oof -- Hey! The hair! Ah, what's the point anymore ...

[ His hair is already down. It's not like he has a pompadour to protect from Okuyasu's aggressive noogies. He's pretty long on the top too, so now that hair is just tumbling over his eyes and he looks like an emo, probably. ]

I've been looking for you! Ugh ... [ So noogied. So misery. And he's also way closer to Eminem than he wants to be. ] I-I'm glad nothing actually happened to you.

[ Because? It's only been a few months before he saw Okuyasu die. The memory's still fresh. Don't do him like this, homie. ]

[He's a sad little boy getting an aggressive noogie because he deserves it, one hundred percent. For sure. And because Okuyasu doesn't know what to do, really, when he hears that tremor in Josuke's voice over him - the same as when he, you know, died.

He made stupid jokes back then, but in retrospect that was pretty weird of him to do?! So. To curtail his stupid joke instinct, he latches on like this, to prove quite undeniably that he is here and he is just fine. And also because noogies are funny.]


I was stuck wandering around with a bunch of nerds and fake food! Some prissy princess even lectured me, man! [huff!—but okay] Are you okay? This ain't the hairstyle of a man who had a good couple days.

[hair is the barometer for stress]

[ Teenage boys don't know how to deal with emotions so they punch each other and make jokes. Very mood. ]

Don't even remind me. [ With the sulky look on his face and the bangs obscuring his eyes, Josuke really does look like an emo kid right now. He lets out a sigh, sweeping that hair back so he can at least see. Yeah, some of the exhaustion he feels is a petty irritation at the state of his appearance, but most of it is a result of the worry that's been on his mind for the past few days. They barely understood this place or how it worked, and it's evident at this point that all the past inhabitants had disappeared for one reason or another. It's hard for the mind not to wander, even more so when he's familiar with the feeling of grief that came with losing a best friend.

Seeing Okuyasu again is like a weight off his shoulders, and it also makes him optimistic for his other friends here. Josuke will stay here latched onto his buddy, but he's finally finding enough energy to crack a smile. ]
I'm fine, dude. It was pretty much the same for me -- Mr. Greed and I went around looking for people. [ haven't threaded it but i assume... that happened .... anyway forces u to CROSS STREAMS ]

[ Okay, the princess comment does make him laugh. ] Did you get your ass kicked by a princess?

[Mr. Greed..........]

Nuh uh! She gave me a hard time, sure, but then she was helping me look for your sorry ass. You're welcome, by the way.

[Not that he found Josuke, but he looked, and so he deserves credit for that. For sure. Plus, this is more socially acceptable joking around, instead of making fun of Josuke for crying or whatever... this is the good end. He'll even cut him some slack on his terrible hair, but at least get some bobby pins.]

You see anyone else when you got back?
nipzips: (come one you stranger)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-30 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah let a guy cry over his best friend in the whole world, god. Don't harass him. ] Thanks for looking for me.

[ He's too tired to be teenage boy-level tsundere right now. Just let him feel soft inside that you bothered to look for him, and pat you on the back, Okuyasu. ]

You're one of the first I've seen so far, but oh -- I kinda bumped into Ochako while I was going around, searching for you. [ The!! Almost-gf!!! This is clearly important enough to mention. ]

[personal profile] pursestrings 2018-05-30 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah... [He yelled at a lot of people for you, Josuke. And went through your stuff like three times. It's fine, though, that's bro behavior. Speaking of that, follow him to his crib now because it's extra weird with statue Iida out front and nobody around. Test of courage!! They are now Walking.

Ah, but Ochako--]
She okay?

[She's not back yet.... he's stressed and keeping it lowkey, it's fine.]

You didn't say anything weird about me, did you?

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-30 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ The thread just started and I cannot promise he didn't say anything weird about Okuyasu ... ]

[ Off to Okuyasu's house they go, even if he's been here every day for the past few days just checking to see if his friend has miraculously returned. He's pretty much got the directions memorized at this point. Josuke gives Iida a bit of a nervous look, still finding him creepy as heck even if the flower crowns do help, but he's seen him too many times to really be scared of him. Poor guy, though. When is he going to return to normal? ]

Yeah, I was sure to tell her about that time you ran into a wall. [ He's joking!! Or is he? we'll find out .... once my thread with ochako progresses further ... ]

She was fine the last I saw her. I started to disappear the moment I [ Awkward pause. ] took that bottle of gel, so it's likely she just hasn't failed the quest yet.

[JOSUKE... the biggest brotrayal in the world!! Luckily he's just glad Josuke is back, so all that sass about Okuyasu running into walls gets him is a nudge with his elbow. Shut up!! Come chill in his house...

also WAIT]


Whoa whoa whoa, what is that I just heard? Gel? Dude?

[Please, explain your folly. In detail.]
nipzips: (SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-31 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoops. Maybe he shouldn't have admitted that. ] Uhh ...

[ He knows he's going to get shit on for this, but is there really a point hiding it at this point? ] Alright, alright, fine. I failed the quest because I saw a bottle of hair-gel and acted before I could think.

[ Watch him crumple to the ground in embarrassment and regret. As if the world wants to shit on him further, his bangs start falling all over his eyes again too. ]

[personal profile] pursestrings 2018-05-31 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[There he goes, a man defeated... Okuyasu sticks his hands in his pockets and looms over Josuke, smug as shit about his hair gel hubris.]

Damn, I dunno whether to be impressed by your dedication or embarrassed to be your friend! Gel... c'mon!

[Now he's nudging him in the shoulder with his knee. Josuke. Josuke. You're embarrassing!!]
nipzips: (shine on)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-06-01 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Josuke being embarrassing is established canon at this point. He's just going to push away Okuyasu's knee. Let a man wallow. ]

Look at my hair, dude! [ It's flopping down again so he haphazardly slicks it to the back. ] Can you honestly blame me?

[ how is okuyasu doing .... does he still have his tiny pomp ... ]
pursestrings: (143)

[personal profile] pursestrings 2018-06-01 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[He has... dutifully slicked his hair back with water, and will likely continue doing that a few times per day. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so it's not really a mini pomp anymore, but the effect is close enough. In any case - he has less hair than sensitive boy Josuke over here, so he's in less of a torturous state.

Josuke gets one more nudge before Okuyasu eases up for real. Ha!!]


This is a trick question? You're not gonna like anything I say to that!
nipzips: (homeboy)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-06-02 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ too bad josuke would never do the smart thing and cut ... his hair ... into something more manageable. so, he'll be cursed to look like this until Mr. F blesses him with hairgel.

anyway, it's time to table the turns!! ]


What about you, dude? If you're here, it means you failed too. What was it that did you in? Did you see a huge plate of spaghetti just lying around?
pursestrings: (181)

[personal profile] pursestrings 2018-06-02 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[time to get gum in his hair so he's forced to try a new Lewk..... like kewl, see, anyway shut the fuck up Josuke!!]

Shut up, not eating for a week [it wasn't a week] is way harder than your thing!

[GRUMBLE MUMBLE....] It was ice cream.
