[ Yosuke Hanamura has never been a morning person. He abuses the snooze button, never less than three go arounds. Except it's not his alarm that's waking him up and he's pretty sure he doesn't need to get ready for school or one of the jobs he's got, not this early...wait, what time is it? The clock by his bedside can't seem to settle on a time and...
Is his...bed...moving?
Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Yosuke pushes himself up and--yes, it sure is. It's jumping back and forth. That wakes him up immediately, and as he looks around his room, the snazzy new decor he'd finally settle on is going in and out, switching between the oranges and yellows to bright pinks and floral designs and-- ]
W-What the hell is this!?
[ Flinging the covers back, Yosuke jumps out of bed, just in time to see the mattress rise off of the frame. Are those...teeth... ]
...Oh you've got to be kidding me...
[ Nope. Nope.
Not how he wants to wake up.
He rushes to the door, but it doesn't budge. So he's stuck in a room with a monster bed. Welp. Hopefully his housemates are around. Yosuke bangs repeatedly. ]
HEY! A little help in here!?
Phase 2
[ Getting out of the apartment when it tries to eat you is an accomplishment. He quickly realizes that being out on the streets really isn't any better. Going to work is really kind of the last priority right now. He's got to find out what's going on. It's not at all comforting that the streets seem to be just as messed up as the apartment. Is that...fire hydrant running away? ]
...This is seriously messed up.
[ The farther he goes, the more messed up it becomes. He nearly dodges a plant that's just as ravenous as his bed had been, doing a great impression of Audrey II. But what takes the cake is the total onslaught of law enforcement stomping around the city. He's a little weary of robots after getting kidnapped and tossed into the sewer, so he keeps his distance. But it would go against his personal code and sense of greater purpose when he sees a pair of copbots accosting someone resisting arrest, someone who had just been walking down the road a moment before. ]
Hey!
[ Yosuke to the rescue?? ]
Phase 3
A: I Am A Shadow, The True Self
[ Yes, something is definitely Not Quite Right. Of course the day had started off fantastically shitty to begin with, so why should it stop there? No, Yosuke Hanamura's life doesn't stop at just freaky and terrifying, it has to go full circle to ridiculous and embarrassing. He starts to feel a little sick, like his stomach is trying to find the quickest way out of his body. Then there are voices, voices he'd heard back inside the TV when he'd only just learned of Persona. That should be indication enough of what's to come, but...
But, really, what can he do? Yosuke is on the fritz. The next thing he knows, his body fades in and out like static on the TV, before he settles into something unimpressive. It's just Yosuke. Yep, just Yosuke. Except his eyes have a golden gleam that they don't normally have, a strange semipermiment shadow cast across his face.
When did this place get so damn boring?
Shadow Yosuke can be encountered just about anywhere, though he'll probably be easiest to find in the Entertainment District, avoiding most of the immediate chaos, but easy to find perched somewhere or waiting in an alleyway. If you're in trouble, he'll be there to watch and offer some snarky commentary. Because that's the right thing to do, right?
Go ahead, entertain him! ]
B: Time To Bare It All
[ Luckily for Yosuke, his Shadow phase doesn't last forever. Unlikely for Yosuke, the glitches still have a wonderful way of messing with you. So in the middle of all the chaos, he feels himself start to fritz out again. ]
Oh shit, oh no. No, no, no, no--
[ He doesn't want a repeat of the other day. No way in hell. Being in public be damned, he knocks his head with his knuckles, watching his arm go in and out with static. No, he won't do this again. He won't! He turns around and bangs his head on the nearest building as a last resort.
That...that seems to work. He evens out. Too bad it hurts like hell. Slowly peeling his forehead away from the wall, Yosuke grimaces. At least...he feels like himself. He takes a look at his hand. Solid. Whew. Except...
...where did his sleeve go? And...the rest of his shirt...? And-- ]
Oh god!
[ Yep.
He's naked.
Suddenly the shadow thing didn't seem so bad. ]
GAH!
[ He ducks behind...whatever is near! A bush, a trash can--of course it'd be a trash can--your bag... He needs clothes. And fast. Please help him. ]
Wildcard
[ Anything not in the above prompts...come at me! ]
