[OPEN] all of our friends were here
Who: Yu Narukami covenantal & you!
When: IC 7/19 - 7/23, the duration of the event.
Where: Out and about, listed below.
What: Like more than a few, Yu’s coping with dying, the fact that he can’t touch anyone (or anything warm) without seeing a memory, and a ghostly new fox companion that has some ideas of its own (like sharing the plot of Persona 4 with you!).
Rating/Warning: Possible mentions of death and gore.
[ A. when you say you won't forget me ]
[ Yesterday was a long day.
Catching up with his roommates was the hardest. Rise had burst into sobs the moment she'd seen him. Dipper had been cautious and quiet and tried to brace him, which he shouldn't've ever felt like he had to. And Yosuke... Yosuke had been Yosuke, pulling him into his arms and clinging on like that was the difference between life and death, like he could go back and unwrite the explosion that had taken them all out by force of his grip alone.
But he'd learned one thing from Rise and Yosuke, and especially from Yosuke: weird things happen when he touches people, now. And it's not just people. When he'd finally gotten to take a shower to wash off the grime of the prison, it'd happened again. Memories. Important ones.
Figuring out the common link between three wasn't that hard, so today he's outside on his CereVice, making a call to his boss trying to explain why he's not coming to work. It doesn't seem to be going well. He sounds apologetic, but also distracted, which likely explains why he happens to bump arms with you as he passes. This probably wouldn't be a big deal, but it makes Yu miss a step and drop his CereVice as the memory takes hold. ]
[ B. well I can tell you that's untrue ]
[ It's when the fox appears next to his bed that things start getting even stranger.
He spends some time trying to coax it towards him after a brief period of just watching it curiously, and when that fails, he decides to go about his day instead. Despite the fact that getting within ten feet of it gives him a splitting headache, he heads to Ardeo's shrine to see if that will put his fox more at peace, but it doesn't seem to do much of anything. At another time, he tries a cafe, and ends up trying to tempt his fox with bits of food. To any passers by, it will seem as if he's offering food to nothing, though he doesn't seem to mind if anyone stares. ]
I'm not going to hurt you.
[ he says to the fox, which still won't look at him, and in fact tries to duck under a nearby chair. Yu shakes his head and gets to his feet. If anyone's watching, he'll offer an apologetic smile. ]
Sorry about that. He seems pretty shy.
[ C. cause every day since you left me ]
[ The foxes are pretty skittish by nature. Yu's continual attempts at being friendly don't seem to help his very much; in fact, it just keeps ducking away whenever he tries. Unfortunately for Yu, this happens more than once when he's out in public. Though you might hear a wait! and see a concerned looking teenage boy, what you won't see is the fox that's just darted behind your leg and curled its tail around your calf. ]
[ C1. ]
[ Pick this option if you want a good, happy, or light-hearted memory of any kind! These memories can either be from his canon or from Cerealia; feel free to specify which, but otherwise, the memories will be random. ]
[ C2. ]
[ Pick this option if you want a bad, depressing, or painful memory of any kind! These memories can either be from his canon or from Cerealia; feel free to specify which, but otherwise, the memories will be random. ]
[ D. I've thought less and less of you ]
[ By the end of the week, Yu is noticing something very wrong.
There's something he can't remember.
And the only reason he knows that is because of a picture.
His roommates might find him sitting on the couch in their apartment staring at it with a troubled look on his face, but he doesn't stay for very long. A profound restlessness drives him out and into the park, where he wanders for a while, only belatedly realizing he accidentally brought the picturing with him.
Eventually, he settles beneath a tree that's near a pond. His fox is nearby, but not too close, curled up in a tight and unhappy ball. He sits with his legs crossed and his fingers laced, his thumb idly tracing the side of his hand as he stares out over the water. The picture frame is in his lap. ]

Phoenix gave a soft nod in agreement at being glad when this strange thing is over. And a frown forms as Yu asks his question, and he glances at the picture again.]
Yes. Maybe even a little more than a feeling. [He glances downwards as he clasps something in his pocket. A golden locket that he was convinced not to dispose of.] There's a hole in my memories... [So much of the years since his disbarment and even some of the details of that case are a blur.]
...as if a magician made them disappear. And... coincidentally, it all seems to have to do with a magician. [He glances back at Yu and the way he grips that photo. The connection is becoming clearer.] But I'm guessing that it's a feeling you're familiar with.
no subject
Finally, some internal decision reached, he nods, pulling in a breath. ]
It is. This girl... [ Yu looks down at the photo, his expression troubled and a little unhappy. ] ... I should know her. But I don't have any idea who she is, any more than I remember taking this picture. You can see it too, can't you? [ He looks at Phoenix again, level and sharp. ] The strange animal we each seem to have right now.
no subject
The animal... Yes. I have a fox that's been following me around, although I haven't been able to see anyone else's. ...But it seems like something odd involving memories is happening whenever someone touches one.
[He pauses for a moment.]
Do you think that it's connected to the lost memories?
