the muscle hustle man you never needed nor deserved

[yakyuuman]

Who: Jyushimatsu joins the fray (OTA)
What: Making his grand entrance, looking for his dumb brothers, and doing stupid shit because he's Jyushimatsu and that's all you need to know
When: 10/19 and onwards
Where: Various
Warnings: He's a warning of his own



i; a proper arrival

[ No matter how mundane whatever he's doing is, Jyushimatsu never does it half-assed. He needs to be at least some degree of intense about it. In this specific case he wakes up, and one split second later he's already on his feet, after literally bouncing like a rubber ball, slamming back to the ground with a loud thud.

This is not his home. He's not in a futon, not wearing a pajama, and none of his brothers are around.

He's suddenly invested by a dreadful sense of deja-vu.

A dream in which he was in a deserted island, fighting off a storm while two dragons had an epic battle in the distance. The same kind of dream where he found a baby dragon and named him Homerun King, after which he met Ichimatsu and learned all sort of things that a fleeting dream world shouldn't have so much in detail. Just when he thought he could piece stuff together in his galaxy brain, everything ended abruptly. Then a talking rabbit says all sorts of weird things, gives him some kind of infodrop, and dumps him afterwards.

And now, while he's standing at the temple, with some materials he thinks are his property now, all he can think of is, "I'm back".

Well, no point thinking about it too much. If he really is back to dream island hell, he might find Ichimatsu here. So he picks his stuff and goes off on his own. There's so much explore and see, and he's hungry of both knowledge and food.

He'll be seen around a mana pool, squatting by it and staring into his reflection, his face very very close to the watery surface, like he's about to dip in on his own.

Alternatively, he'll be found by the infirmary area, stuffing his face with mangoes.

Or there's also the Camp BASE, where he gets acquainted with some islanders before going off on his daily baseball practice by using his newly acquired hatchet as a replacement bat, swinging it with not a care in the world. ]

ii; you are not my homerun king

[ Apparently a lot of things happened before his arrival. Things that involved dragons, if he heard it right. Jyushimatsu felt a little like that pizza guy meme, except it's doubtful whether or not it was a popular meme in Japan, but you know, who cares.

He will finally understand the extent of such fallout when he finds a pair of draclings hanging near his new home, in the third islet. And then they find him, too, prompting them to shoot fire before he could even utter a word. Rude much?! After scrambling to escape the attack, he's now perching on a branch of the tree he climbed up on to escape them. It's during these moments that he wishes Homerun King was here. Homerun King wouldn't spit fire and venom in his face! ]

Heeeey! [ He calls out to a random person passing by. ] Please tell me those flamethrowing lizards are gone! I've been here for like, hours?

[ Help an idiot out... ]

iii; have you seen this cat?

[ During his new, fresh routine - which includes running around, swimming, rolling in the dirt, and probably weirding out whoever stands in his path, Jyushimatsu also continues his search for Ichimatsu. He'll walk up to whoever islanders is also some other poor soul thrown off their own world, and waves at them with his long, floppy sleeve. ]

Have you seen my brother? He looks like me but he wears purple and he's gloomy and he also likes cats!

[ That... should do, as a description. ]

iv; wildcard

[ Reach me over at gaiamemories or PM or also the Discord channel if you'd like something else! ]

[ He stretches his arms for a moment, wriggling them like they're made of jello. It's not an uncommon show he puts up in front of people. When he looks up at her, from his very short height, his smile is wide and unaffected by her imposing figure. He's just! Happy to be free!!! ]

It would've been nice if the bunny guy told me that, but I'm new and I had no idea people risk their lives everyday just mingling around here! Trees are the better option for me right now!

[lesbeau]

[Oh yeah, he fully occupies the Goblin Zone. Not that it's bad, it just means her next logical progression is probably getting him a crossbow. Because sure, he needs to be armed. Gosh.]

Oh. Yeah, kinda feel like that should be part of the opening thing. There's stuff that'll eat you everywhere.

[Beau tilts her head at him, like she's considering an earlier proposal.]

You ever thought about getting a crossbow? So you can hide in trees and shoot.

[yakyuuman]

[ Crossbow... his mouth wriggles, true goblin style. Press X to doubt. ]

I'm more of a close ranged guy! My aim sucks! Unless the crossbow is tough enough that I can use it to club enemies when I run out of arrows, I don't see a real use for it!

[ Let him SMASH THINGS! He's a smasher type of goblin! Can't go wrong if you smash! ]

[lesbeau]

[He gets a little nod of respect when he describes his reasoning. Yeah, she gets that.]

Then why were you running? You should've hit 'em. You can't be scared about punching a lizard.

[Look at her muscles, Jyushi! She's punched so many lizards, she's confident.]

[yakyuuman]

Eh?!

[ He jumps, definitely shocked by such revelation of "what could have been" if he didn't climb a tree to save his own ass. ]

I didn't think of that! [ How could a NEET like him ever come up with something so badass?! ] You speak like you punched many lizards before!

[lesbeau]

[A little grin goes over her face as she flexes with her crossed arms. It makes her muscles look bigger if they're like this, and it's most of the reason she does it.]

Punched so many lizards. Pretty much the lizard punching expert. And they don't like getting punched, so. You give them a reason to run off and they'll take it. Or you just hit 'em some more.

[yakyuuman]

[ Muscles!!! Jyushimatsu likes this content a lot! He pumps his sleeve-covered fists. ]

That's some seriously awesome stuff! I wanna see you punch lizards sometime! But the ones I saw were small so I think we should be more gentle with them!

[ He could try punching lizards but only if they can take it...! ]

[lesbeau]

[See, here we go, this is that Good Content. Anyone who appreciates her literal flex is on her good side.]

They can handle it. Just a lizard. Next time you see one, call me and I'll come show you how to hit it.

[Has she given her name?? Debatable. But she will hit some lizards if she finds him menaced in a tree again, regardless of how she arrives at that situation.]

[yakyuuman]

[ He's now utterly excited to see a woman pinch lizard. Hoping that also happens soon, he also realizes there's one thing he should have done probably since he was still hanging onto the tree. ]

Okay! But I think I need to know something like... your contact info first! I'm Jyushimatsu! Who are you?

[lesbeau]

[Oh wait, right, names. Beau tends to operate on the "will tell when asked" standard, so since he's given his she can reply.]

Beau. Pretty sure I'm the only one named that so you can just say it at your rock thing and it'll probably find me.

[She doesn't come from a world with cell phones, so... magic rock. In her defense, it did USED to look much more like a rock...]

[yakyuuman]

It's that simple, huh? Beau! Beau! It's easy to remember! And I'm Jyushimatsu!

[ He's saying it again, because... it's hard to spell, he knows that. ]

Then I'll see you around, Beau! Thanks for the tips about being a badass lizard puncher!

[lesbeau]

Jyushimatsu. Cool.

[She's not hugely a nicknames person, but she is keeping 'Juju' in her mind for this guy. Sounds like something Jester would come up with, and he absolutely reminds her of her. What's with those J name types?]

Go out and punch those lizards with all your might. Or call me and I'll demo it or something.

[yakyuuman]

I think for the time being I'll call you if I need some lizard punching! Got to play the demo first before deciding if I'm gonna like it!

[ Jyushimatsu cackles and then steps back, waving his sleeves widely like he's saying goodbye to a plane. ]

Bye! Have a good lizard-free day!

[ And he bounces off, for new adventures. ]
