[ Ah, from Osaka division. He knows Samatoki and Sasara had a falling out. Which can only mean: ]
What? Where, he's here? [ Jyuto's uncertain of whether Samatoki wants to sift through his feelings or just forget about Sasara. He moves to take a seat on the couch. ] —Don't tell me he approached you. [ What a mess. ]
[ It's fine, he figures Samatoki's just upset. The yelling is unwarranted, but if Samatoki doesn't get it out this way, he's more likely to take it out somewhere else. ]
It doesn't seem as if there's any kind of filter on who makes it through. At least you won't have to willingly interact after this, right? There aren't any formal division battles. [ But he wonders if Sasara's mere presence is actually the source of Samatoki's anger. He and Sasara were friends, before. ]
Maybe he'll learn to come around and apologize. [ Isn't that what Samatoki actually wants? ]
[ It's not as bad as how much Samatoki detests Ichiro, at least, but still bad. It's not difficult to make Samatoki angry, so anybody who so much as slaps his arm is bound to become an enemy.
Still. ]
Like hell am I gonna talk to him again.
[ Okay, maybe he will, if only to piss Sasara off. You know, the same way he does Ichiro with his cocky comments about the boy's shit rap or his shit brothers. He'll need to start coming up with insults now, like how Sasara's rap now won't ever compare to how he used to rap before when he was with Samatoki. That'd be good. ]
Next thing you know it's those bitches from Chuuoku showin' up.
[ A lengthy pause, then a snicker. He's grinning on the other end of the line now. ]
I'm not sure how I'd be expected to react in that situation. The idea of a work superior showing up here to yank my leash doesn't sound like a fun time. ...Not that I'm not even sure there would be a leash to yank anymore.
[ An odd situation indeed. He can hear Samatoki smiling, though, so he's happy for that. ] I actually mentioned to Ramuda at the Christmas party that a rap battle between us and Fling Posse may be fun. They're the only other division with a complete group, so it seems like equal ground. What do you think? Of course, I'd like to ask Riou too, but... you are our leader.
[ He'll talk about Jyuto's policework later. He's a little curious how the man's conversation with Ramuda went.
Though Samatoki should probably warn Jyuto not to get too close to Ramuda at some point. He's not really sure why either, but it's what Jakurai advised him. ]
Okay, but what will we give them in exchange if we by some freak chance find ourselves losing? I can't imagine them agreeing to that unless they get something similarly as extreme as a reward.
Not at all. But it's unlikely they'll accept the offer if we don't at the very least humor the possibility. They're just as confident that they can win.
Noted. [ A small beat... Samatoki seems to be in a better mood now. Jyuto wants to make sure. ] Where are you right now, working? Let's grab dinner together after your shift.

What's going on?

[ But Samatoki doesn't give Jyuto time to read the text. He's calling as soon as he sends it. ]
Hey.
[ He sounds pissed. ]
no subject
Hey. [ What's this about? He's in such a hurry to get in touch. ]
Is something wrong?
no subject
[ His voice is gruff, and the name leaves the rapper's mouth like a growl. That's all he says, though, more pissed than in the mood to talk.
He's in the back of the cafe right now and is on the phone. He'll get back to work later. ]

[ Jyuto merely asked an innocent question, but Samatoki's yelling at him, anyway. ]
This place just keeps makin' shitty people show up!

That'd be good. We have turf advantage.

Are you interested? I can reach out to him, if you'd like.

I get out at around 5. I'll see you then.
