[ HELLO yamato!!! this fine wednesday ichiro's hanging out in the arcade, actually, playing guitar hero: the arcade version! he seems to be pretty decent at it, even if it is a mockery of true guitar playing, and is bobbing his head along with the music coming out of the screen.
he also absolutely does not see yamato coming in because he's just vibing and playing so here we are. ]

[ did you know the first guitar hero game came out in 2005? yamato doesn't keep up with new games, so he has absolutely never seen this. he hears the music and sees ichiro with the plastic guitar and is ... completely intrigued immediately, wandering over.

That's a game?
[ hi etc ]

Dude, no Guitar Hero? It's kind of an oldie, but it's a good one - lemme finish this song.
[ he's jammin appropriately, and doing pretty well!! (though no full combos, this is not his style of normal rhythm game....) and, as he's working his way through the middle part, he feels it
the stupid urge
to bite, and mutters; ] Oh, come on.

Are they all rock songs?
[ he looks SO excited but also, yeah, yamato's hand is twitching with the urge to sort of-- grab ichiro and chomp down? and he is resisting because please. no. absolutely not. look at the game not exposed skin, yamato.
but he mutters so naturally yamato assumes, wrongly; ]
You're not doing that bad.

Uhhh. [ oh god it's hard to focus on guitar hero and answering questions and the little urge that is going "bite bite bite bite" all at the same time. ] Mostly? They've got different genres of rock, though. Lots of American stuff. You - shit.
[ he misses another note and grumbles, trying to catch back onto his pattern. ] You'll find stuff you like, I bet.
[ he's almost done. almost done. bite bite bite GOD ] Have you -- ugh. Nevermind.

My dad has a lot of American rock in his records too. So probably. [ so he knows some of that stuff, and he is watching ichiro's hands more than the screen. it's entirely to understand how to play and not because nom nom nom nom-- NO. no NOM. what is WRONG with him. ]
Have I what?
Have I what?
Oh, cool. You probably know more than me.
[ he's a rapper not a rocker, but! the greats are the greats. anyway! it's really hard to focus on anything, and he manages to rush through the end of the song. the "SONG CLEAR! message flashes across the screen, and he lets go of the guitar, letting it hang on his shoulder. ]
You. [ ... ] Have you felt like. Weird this week.
[ the urge is still there! bite. bite bite bite! ichiro puts his free hand on his own face. this is the worst. ]

[ yamato runs his tongue over his teeth while his brain goes bite him! bite him! bite him!
he tsks a little ]
... Yeah. Like a weird... compulsion?
[ he runs a hand through his hair and looks at the screen again ]

[ ... yamato steadfastly looks away, balling his hands into fists ]
. . .
Yeah.
. . .
Yeah.
[ oh my god this is the worst possible timeline. he holds out his left arm after a second of very flustered staring ]
. . . Sorry.
[ he grabs ichiro's arm and tries to bite his wrist as gently as his urge will let them ???
HE'S GOING TO DIE OF SHAME ]
. . . Sorry.

[ he also wants to die dw
ichiro's entire face goes red, but he gives up on trying to hold back the compulsion and pulls up his left arm to return the favor and bite. it's not hard enough to leave much of a mark or anything, but there it is.
afterwards he just lets go, and puts his other hand back on his face. and then just leaves it there.
there is a long pause ]
This place is so weird.

[ yeah yamato is still looking away, looking beet red. sometimes you are a pale motherfucker and it's a problem ]
... Yeah. Yeah. [ god please a subject change. please. he-- ] So is that thing two player?
... Yeah. Yeah. [ god please a subject change. please. he-- ] So is that thing two player?
Think bass playing translates to this at all?
[ but he seems up to the challenge, grabbing the guitar thing properly and everything ]
'Cause if it does, I'm trouncing you.

Oh, you're on, bro. Let's do this.
[ yamato probably will trounce him because ichiro is a rapper and a percussionist and cannot play the guitar in real life at all (probably? who knows, watch hypmic joss me like tomorrow) but that's okay. he can't resist the competition! ]

[ how much of guitar playing truly is translatable to guitar hero itself? a mystery. either way, yamato's real disadvantage is not playing a rhythm game before, because it'll take him a second to get into the beat. but, more importantly, he's selecting the song right now ]
Oh, I know this one. Try to keep up?
[ he's picked nirvana's smells like teen spirit, because this is the funniest option in guitar hero after i scrolled for 5 minutes. this is stupid. he may be mouthing the words at times. ]

Hmmm ok
I was wondering cause like
there's no details about it or anything yet, yk? so i was wondering if they got people to play or dj or not.
figured if they need volunteers we oughta step up to the plate so the music's good. lol
[ haha you thought ]

[ i fuckin knew it was this im in tears ]
oh. that's true.
we could ask the dorm heads?
they might be planning to just have one of those shitty premade cd mixes but it'd be cool if we could perform or something.
well, I say that, but I probably can't afford my bass still. (oops.)

vi would probably give us a pretty good bargain. she likes to haggle - we're doing a service so we could get paid with your bass, maybe. or at least a discount :P
i can hook my mic up like a regular mic to an amp at least, just none of its usual tech powers
let's ask, can't hurt
[ music zoned.... ]

but yeah, let's ask viola what she has planned. it's got to be her duty, since it's winter themed, right?

[ somewhere in the void. do not make me question locations anymore my brain is gone ]
Ichiro...
[ it's reflexive when he spots him but hrm. he's not sure what to say. sorry about? your winter? my bad? ]
