[ They've made it through their boss fight! Miraculously. And while Elysium is typically covered from head to toe, it unfortunately wouldn't take much convincing after the first suggestion for him to ditch his shirt. So here he is now, sans top, idly hanging one of the fruits of their labour between his thumb and index finger, gently swaying it back and forth like a metronome. It's their magnifying glass. ]

This thing couldn't have come any sooner? Imagine if we had it for the party.

[ As light as he's trying to keep conversation, it's tough, voice slightly strained. Occasionally, he finds his hand drifting up to rub at his neck, almost as if checking for something that isn't there. Eugh. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[HE DOESN'T LIKE ANYTHING THAT JUST HAPPENED. HOW BEAT UP DID HE EVEN GET AS A NONCOMBATANT. HIS INJURIES!!! But he is happy with their haul, at least... Just ignoring the creature they just fought and the weird feeling of gentle suffocation and tummy pats to put his shirt back on and card through their items.]

Wow...! I can see how people get really messed up in these things. We better be able to use these for something good after all of that trouble!

[He is a genius so he's sure he can do SOMETHING WITH THEM. Imagine he can't. Very funny.]

What was up with your bust, too?

[LOOKING AT TOKINAGA. WHY DOES HE THINK TOKINAGA KNOWS.]

[vacuous]

What do you mean what was up with it?

[ HE DOES NOT CONTROL THE BUSTS. ]

[artificialsweetener]

What was up with it...

[DON'T JUST REPEAT THE QUESTION.]

[vacuous]

Maybe it was upset you guys tried to abduct it? I think I would be.

[ And then it teleport jumpscared them at the door. ]

[transmit]

So it took after your feelings…

I thought it would've liked to be with the cats in the manor. You don't think so?

[artificialsweetener]

It could have been less upset... We didn't even do anything to it yet...

[HE'S SAD. HE WANTS TO EXPERIMENT ON THE BUSTS.]

[transmit]

He's always so calm… do you think it could be a reflection of his inner self? I thought of all of ours, his would've put up the least resistance.

[ Also looks at Tokinaga wondering if he is in denial. ]

[artificialsweetener]

Woah... [They're just both looking at Tokinaga now.] You might have a point! His inner self is full of surprises!

[transmit]

[ Tokinaga watch party… their lab specimen… ]

You feel it too? That he could probably stand to cut loose more often?

[artificialsweetener]

[THEIR LAB SPECIMEN.]

He could, he could! Oh, but you know - even though he may seem like someone who organizes their sock drawer, he actually loses his socks all of the time!

[vacuous]

You'd want to use it at the party...?

[ He is not shirtless. It will take a few rounds of suggestion for him to do so at this current point, when hes covered collar to toe and even extra, considering he comes with an eyepatch and gloves. ]

That aside, are you alright? That thing...

[ This goes for everybody. ]

[transmit]

Well, yeah? If everyone's busy drinking, who'd think of blaming lil ol' us? [ US… ] That, and the wider net I cast—… well, that's not important.

What's important is that we all made it out pretty safely! I almost thought we were goners when it turned out Yosuke and I were the only ones to hold the line. [ A light little laugh. ] Looks like we're going to need to bust out some more papers as warnings, señor.

[ I forgot to note that I rolled a fuckin 18 for injuries, so. There's that. Unfortunately, this is where I also need to link another visual as neat rows of protruding crystals line his waist, arm, and shoulder—so no one's gazes will have to stray far from the light of god in order to see them and/or comment if they really want to. dies. ]

[vacuous]

That's good that you can still think of having fun.

[ Though, he loses a bit of colour at having the fact that he's a non-combatant brought up. His best attempt was intimidation on grounds of having a big-ass gun with a tranq, and maybe is a decent blunt weapon besides. ]

Sorry, I can't move really all that well, so the best I can offer is holding up the rear...

...Um...

[transmit]

Oh, that wasn't meant to knock you. Without everyone involved, we wouldn't have gotten half as much out of this as we did. If anything, it just emphasises the need for a buddy system more than ever.

[ He reaches out to also pat Tokinaga's shoulder, and finds… that it feels kind of nice? Huh? So now he's just holding onto it. Okay. ]

Or was there something else on your mind?

[aerodynamic]

[ okay you all can argue about tokinaga's bust and everything and not wear shirts, he does not care. somehow he walked out of this boss fight without any injuries which is wild?

but that's probably because this is the first time he's actively used his persona in a fight here, which for anyone who has not seen it it's this thing. and because he used takehaya susano-o in a fight... once they're all out of danger and recuperating he sort of just collapses on the ground. sp... low... ]

Why in the hell do these things get weirder and weirder? [ he sounds both annoyed and disturbed though. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[SOMEHOW I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT THIS IS HILARIOUS. Dahut will scoot over and put a hard candy into his pocket helpfully.]

When you're feeling better, let me interrogate you!

[He's just kidding probably... In verbiage, not in intent...]

[aerodynamic]

[ it's so big... also don't put the candy in his pocket, he's grabbing it to put it in his mouth instead to try and regain his energy even while he's wilted on the ground. ]

What kind of interrogation? [ he has gotten the sense dahut is not kidding, so here we are. ] Think I could ask you a few questions myself.

[artificialsweetener]

[LISTEN he didn't know if Yosuke wanted it right away, maybe he wanted to save it for a powerboost later...]

I want to talk about your whatever that thing was back there! A power? [FASCINATING.] We can trade, if you want.

[vacuous]

[ Thinking about how if he were twelve years old he'd be soooo envious of Yosuke-kun and his mega cool summon but now he's an adult whos seen the horrors

It's still kind of cool, honestly. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ from where he's facedown on the ground: ]

Tokinaga-san... why is this man everywhere.

[ i think he would at least recognize obikawa from tokinaga's initial memory and such. ]

[vacuous]

Which man?

[ That was like three people in one and a tail that he doesn't know is also a man (gender neutral). ]

[transmit]

[ the way i opened this expecting my disco frog completely forgetting they had other personas HELP

But he just squats next to him like a gremlin and gently pats his shoulder. Pat pat. ]

That thing you summoned back there——that was the Persona you were talking a while back, yeah? Is that how you imagine yourself, or is that how you want to be…?

[ kids these days are so fascinating ]

[aerodynamic]

[ i miss jiraiya every day but unfortunately he max-bonded with yu.

anyway thanks, he will roll over a little to get a better look at elysium even if he doesn't quite sit up yet. ]

Yeah. Takehaya Susano-o. I've summoned him a few times since we've been here and used some of his abilities, but nothing quite like this so far. [ exhausting... ] It's nothing like that though, I'm not sure why he looks that way. This is the third time he's changed.

[transmit]

[ i'm sorry but just the visual of yosuke's corpse in the background while dahut and elysium menace tokinaga is so funny.

Still, he's here to check in on Yosuke in full now. He's presumably figured out the touchy effects by this point, so he lets his fingers curl and rest over Yosuke's shoulder.]

They've even got names? That's impressive. [ wishing so bad i played a real world character who'd be savvy enough to ask him if that's an oc. ] You really did pull through and save our asses, though. Without you there, we wouldn't have made it out as unscathed as we did.

[ Granted, with Dahut being a genius, maybe they could’ve jury-rigged something with the environment and turned the tide that way, but the fact that everything actually worked out? Incredible!! ]
