[TASK 1] School's Out? {OPEN}
A BMX? That was a sort of bike, right? Itās not exactly the sort of thing that Yukioās into in his spare time, but this guyās face definitely rings a bell. Weird. He has to think about it for a long moment, listening hard to Takumiās explanation, before an idea comes to him.
"⦠Yeah, I think I watched a video of one of the stunt shows you were in online, or something? Was a while ago, and I donāt remember much, but Iām not really into that so that must be it. If I took the time to watch it, it must have been pretty sick, though."Ā he adds, with a grin.
It wasnāt really a surprise to hear that Takumi hasnāt heard of him, either; he doesnāt exactly look like the kind of guy thatās a part of his target audience. Doesnāt matter, anyway ā heās hardly the type to pass up the opportunity to talk about what he does, and his eyes gleam with pride as he talks.
"Heh, same goes for you. Well, the title that the school gave me is āSurvivalistā. I go places and do crap that would probably get most people killed, and come out of it alive. I usually keep video diaries and put āem online, but Iāve done a couple mainstream TV shows. Not really my thing, though. Doesnāt feel real when you have an entire camera crew following you around."Ā
He shrugged his shoulders, as smiley as ever, and drummed his fingers on his sides. Yeah, he could recall times where his stunt shows were manually recorded by other members of his clique and uploaded online. Sure enough that got people noticing him when he travelled places to perform, but nothing too big. It was a wonderful feeling and a rare find for someone who wasn't even in the target audience to recognise him. He felt almost proud.
Halting in his musings, Takumi offered Yukio a smile. "Haha, for real? Thanks, man." he said genuinely, giving him a light punch on the shoulder. It was always such an ego boost, hearing something like that from just about anyone.
Takumi nodded while he listened, noticing how proud Yukio sounded while he spoke. A survivalist? That was pretty cool! He related heavily to the last part; Media attention was definitely something unexpected. He wasn't used to so many cameras and people, having only participated in stunt shows for the local community as well as in other towns and cities prior to bigger things.
"Yeah man, I hear you." he added in agreement, nodding. He glanced around the room. "So like, when do you reckon teachers or whatever are gonna show up? 'Cause I meanĀ man, this openin' don't even have a buffet... I get hungry when I'm bored!Ā Ain't that necessary at things like these?"
It totally wasn't but what did he know.
