012 ★ Video (Filtered away from Kaneki)
Alright, I need a little help.
[Josuke is quick to the point when he addresses the network today. He may be at home, wrapped comfortably in a fuzzy blue throw blanket patterned with white stars and appearing for all the world like he's refusing to budge from his position on Heropa #004's couch, but he's nevertheless a man on a mission.]
See, I've got this friend...
[Ah, there it is. The reason for this Saturday afternoon interruption.
Josuke's even kind enough to include a picture! One he likely printed off his phone, but at least the face of one Ken Kaneki, blushing and embarrassed for some reason, is visible for all to see!]
...you probably all know him, so you know he's the kinda guy who worries more about other people than he does himself! And with Valentine's Day quickly approaching, it'd be a real shame if someone as smart, kind, and good-looking as Ken spent the day all by himself, right?
Which is where you guys come in!
[As he sits up, Josuke drops the TV remote off his lap and inevitably unmutes the television set in the room which...seems to be playing some kind of telenovela? Sure, why not. At least we know where he got this wild idea from.
After a moment of scrambling to mute that again, because Spanish expletives and jealous screaming is a little distracting, Josuke continues...]
I gotta find Ken a date!
[Because that's what good friends do.]
Or better yet, a bunch of dates! Because you can't find the one if you don't put yourself out there. So, which of you lucky people wants to sign up for an all-expenses-paid evening of fun with one of America's finest?
Come on, don't be shy!

He ask you to do this for him?

[Straightforward and honest. But he's not done there.]
ken's not the kind of guy who'd ask. ever. even when he needs the company. and he does.
[He won't say it, but he doesn't need to. Anyone who knows Kaneki knows that he's as lonely as they come.]
i figure this is pretty harmless. a coffee date or some mini golf, you know?

Ken was one of the first people I met here. We've been friends a long time.
[Longer now than some of the very best friends he made back home, which is to say...Kaneki knows exactly the type of person Josuke is. Embarrassing shenanigans are in the description of being his friend.]
Whether he just makes new friends on these dates or finds someone he likes that likes him back...that's up to him. But he can't keep pushing people away. If you're real family, you should know he needs a push sometimes.
Leaving him to be on his own isn't going to help, it'll make him worse.

[Daryl doesn't sound anything like a blood relation to Ken.]
voice; private
Hold on...you think I was gonna set him up on blind dates? That I wasn't gonna tell him anything at all? Give me a break. I'm not cruel!
voice; private
[Grumble grumble]
voice; private
I mean, if I went to him without even saying anyone was interested, of course he'd have to say no. He wouldn't have any idea he had options!
voice; private
[Huff huff grumble grumble the wind is clearly going out of his sails]
voice; private
[Good thing Josuke has enough steam for the both of them.]
So...you know anyone you think he might like?
voice; private
[Why would you even ask that?]
voice; private
Huh. Alright...well, you wanna help scout some cuties, at least?
[A beat and then he adds...]
I mean, you're concerned about him, right? Might be nice to pitch in a little. You seem like the kinda person who can scare off the losers.
[That's...a compliment. Probably.]
voice; private
[Looking for others to set someone up with... People could decide for their own damn self.]
'Sides, I got no clue what kinda person he's into. Not my place to be lookin', neither.
voice; private
[Josuke sighs heavily.]
...I really do appreciate you looking out for him, though. Thanks.
You're...?
voice; private
[He says it firmly, defensively, before realizing the man was asking for his name. His tone changes to something almost cordial, if reluctantly so.]
Daryl.
voice; private
Right. It's nice to meet you. I'm Josuke.
voice; private
He talks about you, too.
voice; private
[There's a bit of a laugh on his end before he sobers and continues...]
He's mentioned you too, though.
[The once, anyway. When Kaneki was moving out of their residence, he'd let Josuke know where he was going and who would be there.]
voice; private
I guess. Said you ate a lot.
voice; private
[Not it isn't. Not entirely.]
He's a really great cook, you know?
voice; private
...you know you can come over and visit him if you want to, right?
voice; private
If you'd be up for that.
