Who: All y'all
When: Day 1 – Morning
Where: Everywhere
What: School is in

[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

[ that's an uncannily familiar voice, and Rohan in his science uniform... stops and stares for a moment. it's definitely Josuke but when did Josuke suddenly look like a teenager again?

that is intriguing. ]

Higashikata Josuke. I didn't think I'd see you here.

[ with a certain air of distaste. ]

[ he knows that irritating voice. And as soon as he realizes that yeah, it's Rohan all right, he looks a mix of irritated and genuinely concerned ]

What the fuck are you doing here.

I could ask you the same question! And how old are you?

[ it probably seems like a very off topic question to Josuke but it's very important to Rohan he figures out what's up with this. ]

Are you fucking messing around with me? You know how old I am, I'm sixteen, asshole!

And I'm twenty-seven, so how do you explain that?

[ honestly does not remember Rohan's exact age, but that sounds off ]

Look, I have no clue what the hell is going on, and that's a bit of a more pressing fucking matter here. Listen to me for a sec here, what have your teammates told you?

[ he sighs, exasperated. ]

What's a more pressing matter than you suddenly becoming younger?

I haven't gotten younger.

[ but Rohan saying that pretty much makes it obvious he received no warning ]

No one's told you anything? About games?

.. What kind of games?

And you have gotten younger.

[ he honestly thinks Rohan is just being an asshole as usual, so he just ignores that part ]

I can't tell you for sure, but a shitton of people already told me people got gathered here and divided in teams to play games against each other -- games where you have to murder or kill each other.

You had a really shitty dream before waking up here, didn't you?

[ -- at thait he seems to get thoroughly distracted from his line of though with Josuke's age, mouth parting in surprise ]

I wouldn't have called it shitty.

Are you fucking serious? What dream did you had?

That I was going to get the best research opportunity in the world.

... that's some fucking sick joke. You aren't jumping all over that, are you? We're talking about fucking murder here.

[ HE'S LOOKING AT ROHAN WITH UTTER DISGUST ]

The circumstances have obviously changed a little!

[ with you and manga I can never be sure. But he honestly looks relieved ]

... good. All right, that's what — people have been telling me it's gonna be either we play along and we kill each other, or we're gonna have someone else die on you.

My dream was about my mother.

[ i can research and try to avoid getting myself killed at the same time ]

... I've never heard of a game like this.

Neither did I, but I ain't exactly keen on the whole murder each other deal.

No, you wouldn't be.

Do you know anything else about this place yet?

Only that it's a fucking school, same as everyone else.

... And I thought this place would be boring.

Keep your eyes open. I'll fix you up if you get hurt, you know that.

I won't get hurt in the first place.

Yeah, you do that.

[ he doesn't say anything along the lines of "I'll guard your back" even though he feels like he should. Partly because he just doesn't want to give Rohan the satisfaction of hearing that, partly because he's fairly sure they both know anyway, that they've got each other's back ]

[ he doesn't say anything of the sort either, just giving him another look over. ]

... I'm serious, though. You're younger than you used to be.
