a catch-all for the young men of flashstep

[notahobby]

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!]

Comments

[punchesyu]

[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?]

[mildwildchild]

[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?

[punchesyu]

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.

[mildwildchild]

[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.

[punchesyu]

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...

[mildwildchild]

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.]

jamie is fucking killing me what a gem

[punchesyu]

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.]

fsdkgh

[mildwildchild]

[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.]

i'm trying to eat lunch at work right now but instead i'm in tears

[punchesyu]

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?

yes good (also yosuke you dork omg)

[mildwildchild]

[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!

time to get maxxie in here bwahaha?

[punchesyu]

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!

might be as good a time as any~

[mildwildchild]

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.]

Re: might be as good a time as any~

[punchesyu]

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-!

[mildwildchild]

[Uuuuuuuughh Yosuke can't you do anything right. Jamie saunters up and gives the bartender a confident smile.] Look, we're just trying to show our lady friends a good time tonight. [He gestures with his head toward where Tabitha and Henrietta are waiting.] Help us out here, huh?

[Because if the older and considerably taller Yosuke is getting carded, they will totally give booze to Jamie unquestioned. Yes.]

[punchesyu]

[The bartender only squints harder at Jamie. She makes a comment about Jamie looking like he was still in middle school, waiting for Yosuke to produce an ID...]

I swear, I've got it! I...I must of dropped it! Oh man, help some guys out, would you??? We've got a serious hook up here and we can't mess it up!!!

[He is begging the bartender right now. It's pathetic looking, and she is not going to give them anything.]

[mildwildchild]

[SICK BURN MISS BARTENDER. Jamie's smile stiffens on his face.] 'Scuse me just a moment.

[He turns and grabs Yosuke's elbow, trying to speak in a tone that can be heard over the din of the bar crowd but not overheard by too many.] Dude. Why'd this bar let us in if they're not even gonna sell us any alcohol?! And where the hell is your ID?

[punchesyu]

[He turns his back to the bartender, holding up a finger to her, then speaks to Jamie.]

I have it on me, dumbass! But it's not like I have a fake one! I just figured we got in because the bouncers recognized us or something!

[They're doomed.]

[mildwildchild]

[Stupid cocktease bar Jamie hates you. He sighs exasperatedly.]

Okay, think of something. We're technically overage even if this particular bar doesn't wanna sell to us. There has to be a way we can use that against them.

[Jamie refuses to give up. REFUSES.]

[punchesyu]

I don't know man, is there anything we can really do? You're talking like we gotta get a lawyer here to get them to serve us drinks!

[He's in despair. He screwed it up. Stupid, stupid stupid.]
