[ Why would Yosuke assume that something conveniently themed with the holiday would happen at school with this girl? He wouldn't. He thinks he's already suffering the effects of being way too clingy to his S.O. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, Yosuke.
Her question really doesn't raise any alarm bells. It's funny, actually--it's something that seems like it'd be clear that he's never the person who has someone he wants to buy for. Of course, this time he does, it doesn't matter. Yu is gone and even if he wasn't, he's graduated already. Figures the first year he can he'd--
No. He needs to knock it off.
He shakes his head. ]
Nah.
[ He'll continue taping up the streamers wherever she tells him to.
She's cute, though. Like, really cute, if a little on the quiet side most of the time. Nothing wrong with that. Yu was pretty quiet when they first met, too. He wonders, did they share any classes last year and he just didn't notice? Huh.
Well, she's working hard to make other people happy. That's admirable. ]
I'm sure you'll be expecting a few shipments though, huh?
[Yosuke you've been on Retrospec for how long? Please consider this. Nevertheless Rise doesn't know what's up either and she doesn't know what Yosuke's thinking as she continues directing him and decorating the hallway.
Granted, both the answer and the question surprises her enough that she just gives him a Look, unsure of how to explain it.]
What? Oh, no! No way, I'm just selling them. [...way to sound like an even bigger loser, Rise, geez. But she shakes her head.] I just mean I totally doubt it. And that's okay! We're probably going to run out by the end of the day anyway.
[...anyway.] We need to cover this wall, too. [Thus she tries to walk that way but finds she can't get too far. It's a weird pull that has her stopping halfway, and though there's some invisible force to Yosuke it probably looks like she just stopped moving.]
[ He's allowed to wallow in his own self pity, okay? Besides, he's seen all the weird hearts and flower petals around. Clearly that counts as shenanigans.
Haha.
If only.
Well, he kind of sympathizes with what it feels like to be a loser with no admirers, though he's still pretty sure there are guys around who must have noticed her before he did. Should he buy one for her so she doesn't feel left out? It would've made his day last year, he knows.
Yeah. Maybe he will. Why not?
He opens his mouth to speak but then she just kind of--stands there? Like. Mid-motion. ]
[While the sentiment's sweet, she's clueless and instead she's frowning a little as she tries to move her foot and finds it's not budging at all.]
What? No, it's not that. I can't...move? [Ugh!!! Give her a send to try and move forward but she finds herself spinning her arms to remain upright when she overbalances.] What the hell?
[She watches him step closer and out of instinct she ends up stepping backwards, hopping away from him before realizing she can move again.]
Doesn't look like it. [She'll frown heavily before she turns, stomping away from him in the opposite direction before she gets about ten feet and finds she's stuck again.] It's this way, too! Yosuke, try walking away from me?
The app? [She looks a little more than annoyed then.] Ugh, how can a stupid app attach us together or whatever? It's an app! The powers and stuff, fine, okay, but this is way too much.
[Trying to step backwards!! She exerts as much effort as possible but finds the invisible barrier, flailing a little before falling and losing her balance. Thanks Retrospec.]
[Down they go into a pile of angry limbs. She whines a little and tries to push away, finding she still can't go very far from Yosuke and huffing in annoyance again.]

You okay? Is there a bug or something?

Uh--
[ That's--probably not good??
Yet, as he steps over to her...hey, he can move just fine. ]
What the hell? Well, I can move! Here, is it just that direction??

...What!? It's--it's us??
no subject
What the hell? [She's not sure how she feels about it, but it's not entirely positive.] How is that even possible?!
no subject
[ He's trying to, like, walk backwards but that is so not happening. ]
This doesn't make any sense! It's--
[ ...Duh. ]
Oh shit. This has gotta be Retrospec--anytime something goes bottoms up it always is!

no subject
Yeah, it's--
[ Well, if she's falling one direction then he's getting yanked with her. ]
Ack!!
[ This is wonderfully graceful. Down they go! ]

Does this happen a lot or are we just special?
