[ 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.

[aerodynamic]

[ trade what?? this is what he wants to ask, but he sort of goes "okay, weird research kid" and goes with it. it's not like he can lie about it anyway. ]

A trade, sure. But yeah it's a power. It's called a Persona, not many people have them. My friends and I do but we haven't told anybody else either.

[artificialsweetener]

[TRADE QUESTIONS, LISTEN HERE.]

Wow... There are a few of you here in that kind of weird situation, huh? The "it's just me or me and one random guy and no one else in the whole world" thing. Did your power get delivered to you by a strange and energetic entity that doesn't explain things well, too?

[aerodynamic]

[ uh. well... ]

No, ours was different. Have you been talking to Tsukasa?

[ did you meet miku??? ]

[artificialsweetener]

[HE FUCKING DID.]

Mm-hm! I was wondering how common that sort of thing was...

[aerodynamic]

Not that common. Tsukasa's SEKAI is different than what happened for us, but there are some similarities. Our powers are just a different part of us, and usually we can only summon them in a different world.

[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). ]

[aerodynamic]

Your man. [ that's still unhelpful, but he's also pausing as he slowly rubs his neck. ]

That was... so creepy. What the hell was that?! I've seen some pretty freaky Shadows but that was a whole other level. Think it had something to do with why the busts looked so weird when we left?

[vacuous]

Please don't call him "my man", that's going to invite some misunderstandings. But it is weird Obikawa keeps showing up.

[ Haunted... ]

Like it's a strange entity that was the cause for their terror?

[aerodynamic]

We are literally the only ones here. But at least he wasn't a spider this time, even though I'm not sure this was much better. Maybe though. That thing was following us from the time we started walking to when we got to P.E.C.S.

[vacuous]

Even in front of Elysium and Dahut-kun!

[ PLEASE. SOME DECORUM. ]

It was there the whole time? Is that what you were looking at with those glasses?

[transmit]

[ too late he has already taken his notes ]

[artificialsweetener]

[Paying more attention now that he's heard his name over here HELLO??? Are we talking about Tokinaga's man.]

[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!! ]

[aerodynamic]

[ he really took like a ten minute power nap on the floor while elysium and dahut chanted about patterned socks in the background, jesus. the touch would usually alert him a little but... this is okay. sort of slumps into it, but this is okay. ]

Yeah. Jiraiya was first, and then Susano-o, and now him. All of ours have leveled up, too. [ this is his fursona yeah. but he looks a little sheepish, laughing under his breath. ]

I wasn't gonna let you take it on by yourself, man. That's what my Persona's for. You weren't so bad yourself though.

[ sometimes... you can appreciate swordsmen. ]

[transmit]

When you put it like that, you make it sound like a video game. I've seen people fighting with summons before, but none of them look quite like yours.

[ It's so pointy? It could use its body as a weapon all by itself? Wow. Imagine getting bodyslammed by those edges. ]

So! No real injuries? And you're not just bluffing your way through it?

[ He pokes at Yosuke experimentally. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ he pokes back on instinct before he jumpscares himself realizing elysium's still not wearing a shirt. ]

Man, if I didn't experience it myself I don't know if I'd believe it either. But... it's something only we can do and something that made us stronger. [ and he's proud of that. on the other hand, he shakes his head as he takes stock of any injuries (none.) ]

He didn't take any hits and neither did I. [ if the persona had, it would've also impacted yosuke himself. ] I'm just tired. Since he's a part of me, whenever we're in a fight he's using my energy to use those spells and stuff.

[transmit]

[ HELP

He subconsciously flexes the same muscles Yosuke had poked. Hi. ]

Good to hear. Need me to carry you back?
