OPEN POST: Yusuke Kitagawa (Fox) - Persona 5

[wantsnudes]

Permanently open post! Come help me voicetest/pose for Yusuke's art/feed this starving boy idk. Or if you need inspiration, roll a prompt from the random scenario meme.

EDIT (FEB 2021): Yusuke is vanilla, Royal, or PQ2 compliant! Let me know what your preferences are if you have any. I haven't played Strikers yet, so please hold off on tagging me with any new characters or spoilers for the time being.

[ART WAFFLE INCOMING]

If you wish to convey a larger mass of people, rather than individuals in a portrait, you must be able to show the key identifiers of who they are at a glance. Their clothes, who they associate with, how they carry themselves, and their actions. All can serve as a kind of artistic shorthand.

[Which was why a group of tourists was his unfortunate stalking target just now.]

I wish to be a painter who is able to capture the heart of society. That is why I must study it in all forms.

[afailedmurder]

It's all about an eye for detail, right? That's not so different from detective work.

[Spoken as if he has any goddamn idea whatsoever what Yusuke is talking about.]

[wantsnudes]

[Just smile and nod. It's what their leader does, and it works well enough.]

There's more to it than that, but yes, more or less. [Then Yusuke spots the package of sweets Akechi is carrying, eyeing it curiously.] I take it you've been shopping today?

[afailedmurder]

Oh, yes! I'd heard that a new patisserie was having a grand opening event, and I had a little free time, so I thought I might check it out. As you can see, I had a fruitful investigation.

[please don't ask to eat one please don't ask to eat one]

[wantsnudes]

Ah... I'm quite envious. They must be delicious.

[If it were anyone other than Akechi he might have asked, but instead he just looks crestfallen. Fancy patisseries are definitely on the list of Delicious Things Yusuke Can't Afford.]

I don't suppose they were handing out free samples as part of the event?

[afailedmurder]

Ah... they did, but they're already all gone.

[oh noooo so saaaad don't ask don't ask don't ask these are all for grownups]

[wantsnudes]

I was too late?! If I had only known...!

[THIS IS THE MOST MELODRAMATIC THING EVER, WORLD'S TINIEST VIOLIN, ETC]

Would it be bothersome to try one of yours?

[afailedmurder]

[god damn it]

No, of course not. I have this whole big box, after all.

[...but maybe this can be salvaged?]

Actually, do you think the others might enjoy them?

[wantsnudes]

[Score. Sometimes Yusuke's stomach has to come before his pride/suspicion/downright hostility, and this is one of those situations.]

W-well, yes, I imagine they would. Ann is very fond of sweets in particular.

[afailedmurder]

Perhaps I ought to bring some to our next meeting.

[wantsnudes]

[Redeem yourself for the takoyaki theft. You can do it, Akechi.]

Be sure to bring something for Morgana, as well, or he will never let you hear the end of it.

[afailedmurder]

[You mean the time that all of you poisoned me???]

So... a cat treat?

[wantsnudes]

[If you'd just let Haru poison herself and be happy, things wouldn't have to end that way.]

Or fish. He's particularly fond of sushi.

[afailedmurder]

Sushi, huh? Is it really all right to spoil him like that?

[IF I'M GETTING IT IT'S COMING FROM A SUPERMARKET]

[wantsnudes]

[He nods.]

If the rest of us are indulging ourselves, it's only right that Morgana receives his share. He's a valued member of the team, after all, not our pet.

[afailedmurder]

...Yes, of course. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

However, since I already bought these, don't you think it would be fair for someone else to pitch in for the sushi?

[wantsnudes]

Hmm... I'll suggest it to the others, and we can surprise him with it.

[Translation: Yusuke is too poor to just buy it himself.]
