a catch-all for the young men of flashstep

Who: the Flashstep boys, open to other Pride members and in some cases to all!
What: the day-to-day lives of Pride's ~~only~~ favourite boyband as well as some performances and events from the album release!
When: the week(s) after the gala! (10/06 - 10/17)
Where: Flashstep penthouse, Pride Records HQ, out and about!
Warnings: it's a boyband ~~and Maxxie is a member~~ - tobacco use in one prompt

The boys are busy with their album release. They're putting on performances, attending event, and are generally being carted around for the benefit of their fans. But they can't be working every minute of the day, can they?

[Prompts for each of the boys below!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Morning, Open to Flashstep/visitors:

[He doesn't wake up until he really has to. The sunlight streams through his window, and he groans. It's nine A.M, and he rolls over and sleeps until ten when his back starts to bug him from being in bed. Trudging downstairs still in his pajamas, he yawns and stretches as he takes a seat at the table and tries to wake up. He'd been out a little late the night before, taking advantage of the downtime.

Eventually, he'll try to go to the kitchen and get some food- of which he trips on something (or maybe someone trips him) and food goes everywhere. His face also gets a nice introduction to the floor.]

Owwwww....

Afternoon, Open to all:

[Showered, dressed, and looking fine, he heads out into the city for some entertainment. There's always events going on in the city, and today is no different. Before he leaves, he may try to convince one of the boys to come with him.]

Dude, let's go! There's this festival down near the beach today! The whole place is gunna be lined up with cute girls-!

[Either way, that's where he goes for the day. Shops line the coast of the beach, and Yosuke is checking out a street artist that's making some sweet pictures from spray paint. You can find him doing that, or checking out any of the street shops. Or attempting to hit on women.]

Evening: Open to all

[Before he goes out for dinner, he decides he's going to live it up a little. He gets dressed into something nicer, because he wants to try out some of those fancy restaurants around here. A five star place, of course! Anyone who's in the penthouse will probably be invited to go along, but the secret is, Yosuke has never been to a fancy five star place before he became famous. In his head, it's going to be suave of him, but it will probably end up in disaster.

Or, meet him there- and watch him using the wrong silverware for the wrong things, and putting his silverware on his plate incorrectly. Doing things that are insulting to the wait staff on accident!]

Night: Open to all

[Going out for a night on the town is his game tonight. Taking sometime to get out of the nicer clothes he put on for dinner, he changes into something more comfortable to enjoy the night life. But the problem is, he's not 21- so he's having a little trouble getting into some clubs.

When he does finally get into one, because the bouncer thought he was cute, he's coming to a surprise that this isn't the kind of club he wanted to go to.

He's in a gay bar, but he doesn't know it yet. Get in trouble with him?]

[Jamie pauses once inside to appraise the bar's decor.] I thought we were gonna have to walk all over town before we got in anywhere. It's got a nice atmosphere, at least.

[He shoots a look at Yosuke that's just this side of "little kid gleefully doing something naughty."] We could get in so much trouble for this, man.

Yeah, it's totally chic in here. I wasn't expecting something like this.

[He takes a look around, the best he can, while trying to navigate with Jamie through a crowd of people.]

And, no one's gunna find out! Even if you take a picture in here, it's so dark in most spots that you can't even see your hand in front of your face.

What, you weren't expecting someplace with actual class to let you in?

[He slips easily through the crowd at Yosuke's elbow, weaving between the other patrons. Being small comes in handy sometimes.]

I hope so. Then again, it's gonna be kinda hard to meet anyone and have any fun if it's this dark.

[He laughs, right back at Jamie like a little kid. He doesn't think that's going to be a problem.]

That's where you're wrong, bro! The bar up there might be packed, but we can squeeze in there and check who's all parked at it! There's bound to be girls there!

[He says as he makes his way there. He's pretty scrawny himself, being able to make his way through.]

[Jamie grins back, trying to make it look indulgent, like Yosuke is such a dork, but he's excited too. It's been a grueling few weeks and he's more than ready to cut loose and enjoy himself.]

Hey, why are you on the prowl anyway? What happened with that Flowers Over Bones chick? [He nudges Yosuke as they approach the bar.] She turned you down, didn't she?

[He pushes past people, making sure Jamie was in tow, not wanting to go up there alone per se.]

Uh, no, of course she didn't turn me down! I totally have a date set up with her later! [God does he look so proud of himself.]

But it's not smart to put all your eggs in one basket! And besides, it doesn't hurt to at least look!

It won't hurt as long as she doesn't find out about it. I heard chicks don't like that kinda thing.

[Alongside Yosuke, Jamie hovers at the edges of the throng surrounding the bar, trying to look cool and disinterested. Being a sixteen-year-old, however, he fails and is totally obvious in his attempts to check out the crowd.]

I don't see very many girls here, bro. Maybe they're all at one of those other clubs that wouldn't let us in.

She won't find out. The city's huge, and as long as we don't blow our cover, no one will find out. Not the news or anything.

[Yeah that's not how that works. But he scans with Jamie as well, and he does see a lot of guys in here. There are some girls, but they don't seem to be all that interested. They're dancing with each other, or some are with other guys already.]

This blows, are all the girls taken? Oh! [His eyes follow over to the bar. There's two girls right there.]

Bro! Let's go introduce ourselves!

[Jamie follows Yosuke's gaze to the two ladies sitting together at the bar. They do look pretty hot, and they seem to be the only ones here so far that haven't been swooped down upon by some other guys.]

Yeah, okay.

[He bobs his head like he is totally down with this plan of action but makes no move to actually go over and talk to them.]

...I'll follow you.

[He happily leads the way, sliding up next to them at the side of the bar. There are two free seats, thankfully, and he pops himself up onto one.]

Helloooo, ladies! You guys enjoying your night so far? I'm Yosuke, and this here is Jamie. We're just two guys looking for a good time tonight!

[The smoothest. The two girls look at the boys, expectantly, especially at Jamie.]

[Jamie manages to get himself up onto one of the damnably high barstools without making an ass of himself and gives the girls a suave nod and his most dazzling smile.]

Hey. Some club, huh?

[He doesn't sound half as nervous as he feels. Thus emboldened, he continues.]

I have a feeling we're going to have the best time here tonight. Right? [He grins meaningfully at Yosuke.]

[One of the girls giggles as Yosuke nods to Jamie, and the other asks a question in a somewhat sassy, alto voice.]

Aren't you two just sweet! Do you come here often?

[Yosuke grins at Jamie, as if to say "victory!", before turning back to the girls.]

No, hah, this is the first time we've been to this club! Thought we'd try a different place tonight, you know, than our usual. That last club was a total snooze. [He lightly jabs Jamie with his elbow. Right, buddy?]

[Jamie replies without hesitation, like he and his pal here are completely in sync.] Totally. I like the looks of this place a lot more. [He cranks up the charm another couple notches, leaning in toward the nearer of the two girls to fix her with a smoldering stare.] A lot more.

[The woman titters in delight. Her companion turns to Yosuke, batting her lashes flirtatiously.]

So how about you? Like what you see?

Totally! [He says quickly, with a lot of earnest.] Why don't we have a little fun tonight, shall we?

[He offers a hand to her, standing up from the bar stool. She takes it, to lead Yosuke to somewhere a little more private in the club. The other woman will follow suit, to make this a double date, asking Jamie:]

How about you? You're not going to get left behind, now.

[It takes pretty much all of Jamie's self-awareness to not giggle like a moron at her invitation. Instead he suavely mimics Yosuke's actions, slipping from his seat and offering the woman his hand to follow the other pair.]

I wouldn't dream of it. [Charming smile cranked up to eleven.]

[Yosuke's new friend twines her fingers with his as she leads him to the fringes of the crowd.] So tell me a little more about yourself, handsome.

Oh, you know, just living the dream! Youuuuu ladies ever hear of Flashstep?

[He asks, trying to play it cool. The other two join them at their side, Jamie's "date" also listening in.]

Ohhhh, are you boys from that group? I couldn't tell in the light! You look so much younger than I thought...

Not too young for the company of two gorgeous ladies like yourselves. [Jamie is astounded at how easy this is. It's like spouting bullshit to talk show hosts, only with the possibility of hanky-panky at the end! He's starting to wonder what he was so afraid of earlier.]

[The woman hanging on Yosuke looks intrigued.]
Real live celebrities, huh? This must be our lucky night! [She and her friend giggle and exchange delighted looks.]

You know, [He says, slyly-] we could snag those seats over in the corner there and get to know each other a little better!

[He points over to a few loveseats in a corner. The girls agree, and start to follow them to it. The one tugs on Jamie's hand, as they walk over and take their seats. Yosuke will plop himself down happily, grinning ear to ear.]

[This is like second base or something, right? This is totally second or third base, sitting next to a girl in a darkened corner. Jamie slides into the seat next to his new friend, debating whether or not to try slipping his arm behind her yet.] You can start by telling us your names and what kind of drinks you like. [Wink.]

[Yosuke's date flashes him a smile.] I'm Tabitha, and...I prefer my refreshments strong and musky. [She finishes in a seductive growl that suggests that maybe she's not only talking about alcohol. Just maybe.]

Oh man, I can't believe this is happening!!!

[He just says that right out loud. Just comes straight out of his mouth.]

I can totally get you one of those! [Which is his first mistake. He can't buy alcohol. Not a drop of it. Jamie's date giggles at Yosuke's antics, and turns to Jamie.]

And I'm Henrietta. I prefer mine smooth and silky. Are you boys going to treat us tonight?

Edited 2015-10-20 15:43 (UTC)

[Yosuke man play it cool. The reek of desperation is a huge turn-off to the ladies. Jamie shoots him the briefest of meaningful glares before returning his attention to his date.]

In more ways than one. [He says with a suggestive eyebrow waggle, even though he's not at all sure that this bar will sell them actual booze. They'll figure something out.]

[Tabitha doesn't seem at all put off by Yosuke's...being Yosuke and settles back with a low purr.] We'll let you go ahead and get those drinks ordered, then. Don't be long!

You can count on us! [He stands quickly, motioning for Jamie to follow.]

We'll be right back, ladies~! [He'll drag Jamie off out of earshot of the two girls, only to panic.]

Oh man, what was I thinking!!! We can't order drinks!

Just calm down. This is no time to panic. [Theoretical nookie is on the line here, after all. Cool heads must prevail.]

We'll just go on up to the bar and lay on the charm. Act like you belong here and deserve that booze and they'll give it to you.

[...he's pretty sure, at least.]

Ok. Here goes nothing!

[He seems to puff himself up, and walks over to the bar. Why he has to do this, he doesn't know, but they were both screwed if they don't get the booze. He goes up to it, awkwardly lays an arm on the bar, and gets the bartender's attention.]

Yes, I'd like a couple of drinks, please...just put it on my tab too.

[He gets a strange look, and she asks him for ID. Yosuke doesn't even look nearly old enough for beer. He stammers.]

Uhhhh...yeah, one second-!
