[ The video starts with a boy in a baseball cap, wearing a bright grin and lifting a hand in greeting. An I-come-in-peace kind of greeting. He's in his bedroom, sitting on his unmade bed and while his room isn't messy per se (he hasn't been here long enough to accumulate a mess), there are a few shirts haphazardly draped over the back of his headboard. ]
S'up, Etraya? The name's Junpei Iori! I'm pretty new here. Still getting the lay of the land and all, but uh...
[ He rubs the back of his neck, glancing past the camera for a moment. ]
My birthday's on the 16th. Which I guess is operation day? So I'm thinking of celebrating early. Anyone wanna maybe...hang?
[ God. That feels so pathetic. Like coming on here and pretty much announcing he's a friendless loser. Junpei quickly pivots: ]
Or I guess you could just give some recommendations of good places to check out and party it up? What place has the best food or where can a guy get a good cake...that kinda thing? Yeah, sure. I can probably go find somewhere on my own, but the best reviews are usually word of mouth!
[ Junpei shifts, palms planted on his knees as he leans forward. ]
Sooo, lay it on me, folks. Where would you spend your sweet seventeen in this place?

What-- no! We're not like that!
[It's true but also there's a fluster to his voice, maybe hinting that he does have some amount of feelings for her... but there's no way he's going to talk about something like that right now!!] We're just friends! And she's used to fighting like you!
no subject
Mmmm. I see. We got a case of just friends on our hands.
[ He shakes his head as though this is the greatest injustice. Maelle HAS to see what a swell guy Scott is! ]
Fortunately for you, my badass American friend, I happen to be pretty great at playing wingman. With Valentine's Day only a month away, you gotta secure that date! You don't wanna be stuck hangin' with me that day. That'd be a sad Valentine's for both of us...
[ No dates. No chocolates. Just two lonely dudes, commiserating. ]
no subject
Dude. [Okay, he's got nothing, slightly embarrassed and slightly annoyed about this whole thing, even though deep down, he also kind of appreciates Junpei's whole enthusiasm about wanting to help him. He's just uh, he's totally got this!! But wait he wasn't even thinking about asking Maelle out for Valentine's--]
I uh, we're really not like that, okay? I don't think she even wants to go out on dates!
[......He really isn't sure about that.]
no subject
And have you asked her that?
[ Junpei levels him with a skeptical look. The most skeptical look. And then he holds up his hands, admitting defeat. For now. ]
Look. I won't push it. You gotta go at your own pace, I guess? But I don't wanna hear it if someone else swoops in and takes her out before you get a chance to ask.
[ A pause for dramatic effect. And then Junpei adds: ]
'Course, I'll totally help you kick his ass if that happens. No one messes with my boy!
[ He's got your back, bro! ]
no subject
Look, I have it handled-- I mean. Yeah. I'm just. I don't know.
[BUT OTHER THAN HIS FAILING LOVE LIFE-- he decides to put the topic back on Junpei.] Come on man, aren't we gonna go celebrate your birthday anyway? Before the mall decides to close at this rate.
no subject
[ Junpei frowns. If that's the case, though, yeah! They need to get going. Karaoke isn't gonna sing itself! And Junpei absolutely can't wait to get Scott on a DDR machine. ]
Anyway yeah! Meet ya over there?
no subject
Yeah, see you there.
