[So, you all know those transporters, right? You might have used them to transport from one apartment building to the other... or you might have ended up in the pool.]

[And if you ended up in the pool, you can probably find yourself in the video that was posted anonymously today. Probably no big mystery as to who posted it, seeing as that nice stranger was probably there to help you out of said pool. Obviously he couldn't resist, so it's okay to laugh, right?]

[...the music in the background might be a little too appropriate though.]

[[ooc; Feel free to mix and mingle reactions, or call Yu out on capturing you all in your water logged glory.]]

[Well, at least you didn't have a bunch of succubi try to hit you up.]

[...wait, maybe that isn't worse. Sorry bro.]

I don't think we need that many... unless we were going to do both pools.

Has it only been one pool people are falling in? And I dunno, if the springs aren't very strong, we'd need a lot, right?

[He's no good at estimating, seriously...]

Only one that I noticed, but it might be both...

[He's trying to get off some quick calculations in his head, using that awesome intelligence statistic of his.]

...we should need about thirty-five to forty for one.

..... [Stare.]

Then... I guess we'll get forty... dude, how did you do all of that in your head?

I study?

[You know, that thing they assign you at school? Homework? Yeah, his was always on time.]

But... you don't even know how big the pool is, or how big the springs are...

[Whatever dude, he knows he's not very academic and he really doesn't care.]

It has feet markers along the rim; the shallowest is three feet, the deepest is six.

[He just needs to find some springs, and... oh, look at that. Yu reached down to a shelf, pulling up a massive spring that was almost as long as his arm.]

......... Whoa, holy crap, why do they even sell springs that big???

[And how expensive... he's surviving on a tiny paycheck here, they wouldn't make him a supervisor.]

For people that need them?

[Like the two of them? Also, you don't want to see the pricetag.]

Who in the world needs springs that big, it's not like everyone is a pair of kids buying springs to make a giant trampoline!

[Sorry bro, Yosuke is taking a look at that pricetag and YIKES!] Oh, whoa... maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Yeah... this will take most of our paychecks for the next few months.

[Sigh, and he needs to save up for bigger apartment too...]

Maybe we should just bail... I'm saving up to make sure I can actually eat real food, and god forbid Teddie shows up and moves in with me. Don't you also have better things to be spending your money on?

[Well... it was a nice dream while it lasted.]

Yeah. I need to save up for a bigger place for Nanako and myself.

[That's why he's working three jobs, bro. Sob.]

I forgot you guys need a bigger space... hey, if you want I can help you pay for a bigger place with my own money. I've still got my allowance from the city plus what I make. If I'm not getting anything other than food I'll have enough left over to give to you guys.

No, it's all right; I'm working enough jobs to handle it on my own, eventually.

[He paused.]

...there is something you can do to help me... well, help Nanako. Could you look after her every now and then? I don't want her to be lonely by herself.

[Even if she was used to being the only one home... it didn't mean she always have to be. She didn't deserve to be alone.]

Oh, right, I guess with your jobs you'll be out pretty often. Well I work weekdays til evening, but I'll keep her company when I can. Anything to help out Nanako-chan.

[He gives a small smile.] Hey, have you thought of letting her go to school during the day? They teach all grade levels in the Aquarius district, right?

She's definitely going to school.

[There was no arguing that; his uncle would have his hide if she didn't get an education while she was here.]

That'll work fine on days that I work at the library... I'm more worried about the other days.

I get off of work earlier at Mays than you, I could always go visit her after work on those days. I don't know about the weekend though... what do you even do on the weekend?

[Have a curious and slightly suspicious look.]

[...hurk. Okay, hero; it's fine. Just... no need to get into the details.]

The mornings and Sunday are fine, I just could use someone to check in on her on Saturday nights. I have a job that has me working the graveyard shift.

Graveyard shift?? Geeze, you make it sound like you're actually working in a graveyard. [He gives a small shrug.] I can check in on her whenever, though. [It's not like he went out on Saturday nights...] How late does your weekend job usually keep you?

Until four on Sunday morning.

Holy crap, what the hell job is keeping you out that late??

[Geeze, Yu, was that very responsible with a little kid in the house?? At least she'd have school off on Sundays so he doesn't have to get up early to take her there.]

I'll check in on her and make sure she gets to bed on time, okay? You sure Nanako-chan's gonna be alright with you working so much, though?

[You think he doesn't regret it? If Nanako was not as responsible as she was, no way he would have taken as many jobs as he did. He already felt like he understood his uncle before coming here, but after taking on this much responsibility? He completely understood.]

Thanks, Yosuke.

She should be fine. I make the most of my time with her when I have it.

Well I promise I'll help you out, with Nanako-chan and some extra money, alright?

[He rubs the back of his head a little.] Maybe I should try getting a better job, outside of a grocery store gig. It's not like my dad's the manager at this place, nobody's really relying on me for anything.

You shouldn't give up; you should prove to them that you've done this for awhile. Give them a reason to rely on you.
