Hey, this is Yosuke. [He doesn't sound too much like he's gritting his teeth - just don't ask how many tries this recording took.] I'm probably in the middle of something right now, so if you want to leave a message, I'll get back to you. Alright, later.

[Beep!]

[Significant pause hanging out, huh? That's far too subtle a hint for Yosuke to pay attention to.]

Mm, that or I just don't know anyone who's heard about it. The closest thing I can think of, uh - well, a few months back when Kanji and I woke up here, there was this festival kind of thing going on in town? I remember a few people playing CDs and stuff, at least. Performing, not so much. And then there's the karaoke room at our place, but that's not the same either. It's too bad, huh? It'd be something else to take everyone's minds off things getting rough.

[He rubs at his neck for a moment - and then, pretty suddenly, something lights up in his face.] Hey, maybe - [But he quickly settles down.] Oh, but I guess it'd be harder to convince people if we can't just point at Rise. Hmm... still, there's gotta be somebody we could rope in who'd go along with it...

[Yes, "we".]

Whoa, wait, I'm a concert promoter now? [She's grinning, not against the idea, but boy, that escalated quickly.] Not even, a talent scout. I'm not qualified for either of those positions!

[Her surprise melts into something more wistful.] It would be fun, though. Worth suggesting, since we can all talk to one another so easily here. Is there anywhere around here that'd be good for a concert? Or even just a talent show, if that's not too elementary school?

[She didn't miss that mention of karaoke, either.] Your place? Do you have a house with friends here, too?

[windbreak]

Ha, that'd be the day. It's better than that! Didn't I mention it before? We got ourselves a whole store, man! ...Well, since the other day, more like a bunch of space plus the stuff that got trashed. But I know that side of the building didn't get the worst of it. [Because he checked. Priorities!] My partner owns the place, Kanji tends to sell the stuff he makes when he's not busy elsewhere... You should drop by sometime!

[That last part rolls off his tongue almost like it was reflexive.]

As a venue, it'd be on the small side... But a venue isn't the biggest problem, right? Like, if there's nowhere else, we could probably bug a few people like Kanji into making a temporary stage here in the park, or whatever. It's about finding enough people to go up on it! Nothing formal or anything, just - finding them.

[He tilts his head.] Eh, I don't know. I guess we've got other stuff to focus on. Maybe I oughta think about it some more.

[She's just becoming more and more impressed.]

You guys own your own business? That's awesome! I definitely wanna see it - shit, if you had electronics there, did they get wiped out too? That'll get expensive to replace.

[She shakes her head at his reluctance.] I say the worse things are, the more people need distraction. I mean, get the city rebuilt and everything, but if it'll hold together long enough for a concert then people will probably appreciate it.

Hey, I didn't say stop thinking! [But he does look considerably more confident after hearing her say it. Well and truly sidetracked, even.] Gotta make sure the timing is right, yeah?
