overflow from intro!

[cpt_ressentiment]

► For Yu

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Yosuke is trying to pretend the scoreboard didn't give him a nickname like that... but in truth, he's wondering if there's something else going on with it - is there a reason they're being ranked like this? Just how deep does this go? Things to contemplate. ]

You don't think they'd send bouncing fruit at us and expect us to pick it up... do you?

[ Because he's honestly not sure if he'd put it past them or not. ]

► for Minato

[cpt_ressentiment]

Heh. Good point. Let's just get out of this thing, first.

[ Lack of death is perfectly fine with him, thanks! ]

Well, "ninja"'s not a bad nickname to have, I guess. I'm Yosuke. Nice to meet you. Too bad it had to be while we're dodging blocks...

[ Speaking of! Time to zip out of the way of another one... ]

This thing's not letting up at all!

[moribound]

Nice to meet you too, Yosuke-san. [The blocks are getting faster now but it's nothing Minato's ill-equipped to handle, though he does finger his Evoker, wondering if he should use his Persona.]

Don't see a problem with that, least it's not blocking our conversation. Anyway, ready for the next one?

[cpt_ressentiment]

Yeah, definitely ready!

[ Which is good, considering he has to lead the thing clear across the board! But it's not a problem. He's always been one of the faster people he knows~ He shoots Minato a grin over his shoulder. ]

No problem! Right?

[moribound]

Right. [Yosuke's easy enough to trust with this since he's definitely reliable and fast enough to dodge any block that comes towards them.] Hopefully they'll let us go after this round, then we can continue from where we left off.

► for Link

[cpt_ressentiment]

Whoa--!!

[ He was not expecting that! And his eyes go wide when it happens, as he jerks his hand back, too. He stares at his palm for a moment, then his attention turns back to Link. ]

A glitch? For real? [ He makes a very uncomfortable noise, and a face to go right along with it. ] Y-Yeah, no, it didn't hurt. Just...

[ He looks over at that trash can... reaches down, and his hand goes right through it! But when he tries again, it doesn't. ]

That... is really, really weird, okay?

[72hr]

Y-You didn't have to tell me that.

[Link gapes at Yosuke's ethereal hand and doesn't know what to say. What are you... supposed to do in this situation? This doesn't feel good. Link doesn't like this feeling. He doesn't know what's going on, or how to help him, or how to fix it.]

Can... Can I see it again?

[The only thing to do is... try to learn. That's how he's tackled these situations in the past and that's all he can do now, too. He looks up at Yosuke, his childish face making the question sound more sweet and innocent that Link really is, as he holds his hands out.]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Dude, if Yosuke knew how to fix it, he would be working on that right this very second! But as it is, it not only seems completely intermittent, but also like something he can't do anything about. And geez, if that isn't unsettling...!

He pretty much double-takes at Link's request. ] Wh- seriously?! [ But he calms down in the next instant, with a sigh and a small shake of his head. ] Well, okay, sure. But...

[ So he reaches out, puts his hand in Link's-- Nope, actually, he doesn't, because it glitches right through. Yosuke shudders a little. ]

Oh man, how creepy can it get...!

[72hr]

[Link is trying to contain his own anxiety as he watches Yosuke's hand phase straight through his, but he's also staring down at it more firmly now - not looking away.]

It's... it's okay. Just relax.

[He tries again, trying to grab Yosuke's hand. Still doesn't work... so he moves his hands higher, past where his palm would be, to his wrist. Will this part be completely normal...? What would it feel like? An amputee's stump?]

Do you feel me doing any of this?

► for Yuri

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Sorry, he's just. Gonna stare at you for a second, Yuri. ]

A... goatman and a talking... cloud. [ Beat. ] You're completely serious.

[fatalstriker]

You better get used to it, because it's probably going to get weirder in the future, if they were any indication.

[it's not lost on him that they're probably pretty damn important figures, but ceres never mentioned them so he's not sure yet how the pieces fit together.]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ He's quiet for a second... then he sighs. ]

You know, maybe a year ago, I'd say there couldn't be anything weirder than that. Now? I think I know better. Even if this is a completely different place...

[ He shakes his head. Then he blinks, like he's remembering something, and looks back up at Yuri again. ]

I'm Yosuke, by the way. Nice to meet you. And thanks for the answers, man.

[fatalstriker]

Yuri.

[he offers his own name in return, simply. he keeps this as easy as it gets before shrugging his shoulders. he gets your struggle, yosuke. he really does.]

It's not a big deal. Better you know what's going on right from the start—it makes things easier to get used to. There's no telling how long we'll be stuck in this situation.

► for Athena

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Whoa oh my god she totally just did that!! He does nothing but stare at her in awe for a moment, but once the dust settles and the instant is over, he finds his words again. ]

Holy--! Dude! That was awesome!

[psycholawgy]

[ YES, PRAISE. she lives for praise... her ego gets a bit more inflated at that, and she sets her arms akimbo when she grins at him. ]

Why, thank you!

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Then prepare to eat up all of the praise, because this kid might as well be a little bit starry-eyed right now. ]

Where'd you learn something like that?!

[psycholawgy]

Judo class!

[ she punches at the air. ]

I can even teach you!

► for Rei

[cpt_ressentiment]

Huh? But-... Okay. Heh. If you're sure.

[ He follows, of course, looking around and taking everything in as he goes. This place is... so unlike anything he's seen, and that just further drives home the fact that he's completely displaced. Far from home, if home is even still there. He swallows around a sudden dryness in his throat, tries to shove away any thoughts of home that his mind seems to want to turn to and dwell on at the moment...

And when they reach the shop, well, at least he can focus on that. ]

Hey... did something happen here?

Row Row Fight the Capcha!

[faithfulflame]

[Focusing on that simple question, Rei nods and holds open the door for Yosuke. The insides are clean, but still a little too new looking. Like this was replaced entirely this morning.]

There was a flood a few weeks ago. We're...still drying things out. There was extensive damage, though recovery's been underway for a while. This cafe is the best place still open, though.

[She heads to a seat and takes it, looking him over.]

Hungry?

[cpt_ressentiment]

Whoa. I... guess it floods in space too, huh?

[ Yosuke, kid, you really need to open your mind a little bit better. ... Don't worry about him, he'll get there. Eventually.

He takes a seat across from her, still looking around - but when she asks, he turns to her with a smile. ]

Now that you mention it, yeah, actually. So what's good here?

[ He tries not to stare, he really does, but... he can't help it. And it's not just because he's sitting across from a beautiful woman (obviously that's part of it, but seriously, that's not the whole of it), he just really, really wishes he could remember. Friendships are powerful, bonds are a powerful thing. And sure, it's not his fault, but... why did this have to happen at all? ]

[faithfulflame]

It's...another planet.

[Anyway, well, now that they're sitting and he's just staring at her she shifts a little. This is actually not as awkward as it could be, but it's still strange, that face and that expression.

Turning the menu around, she points to a section of pasta dishes. Just...anything to get his attention off her for a second so she can think. So she can breath, and focus on what needs to be focused on.]

These are all good. And they come with a tea or coffee of your choice. I come here fairly often with my girlfriend.

[She doesn't put a lot of emphasis on that last word, but it's definitely dropped in there for a reason. Yosuke, you were sweet, but you really never had a chance. And it's best to just get any of those thoughts out of the way now, and make it plain too that they were just friends. At least, that's her logic.]

► for Hiro

[cpt_ressentiment]

The weirdest thing I've ever experiened...

[ He pauses... because just how much can he say? Anything at all? Everything? This isn't home, right? So...

Eh, what the hell. ]

Gotta say, the TV world. There's a world on the other side of TVs, and my friends and I went through a TV to rescue people who got shoved in - before they could be attacked by these monsters called Shadows.

[ He takes a moment to deal with a block, then looks back over to Hiro. ] So where does that set the baseline?

[zerotohiro]

The TV world? [Do you see this face, Yosuke? This is the face of someone who doesn't really know what to make of that...but who's experienced some weird stuff anyway and doesn't find it too terribly weird. Just mostly.]

You'll fit right in here, I guess. If you were fighting inside a TV world that would mean your entire genetic make-up is changed anyway in order to survive, wouldn't it? [Applying science to persona never works for anybody, really.] But we've had a couple of monsters show up here out in the colony, too. They haven't really attacked yet, but they were definitely watching us. I came face to face with a couple of them up in the air.

Once you're out of the game everything should make a little more sense at least. [And Baymax is taking care of a block to clear a good chunk of lines. Thank you, Baymax.]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ HE SEES THAT FACE! And since he recognizes that it's not one of immediate disbelief, he's actually pretty relieved. It gets a bit of a smile out of him.

Until the bit about genetic make-up and stuff. He's never thought about any of that. Because, you know, falling into a TV should just be like falling in a hole. Right? ] My genetic make-up is huh?

[ jdfskla Moving right along. Monsters, huh? In the sky? He's a little surprised that Hiro could come face to face with monsters and be okay about it... until he remembers that the guy is riding around on an awesome robot, has been here longer than he has, and seems like he really knows what he's doing. Okay, maybe not so surprising. ]

Watching us? [ Ew, kinda hits close to home - thanks, Midnight Channel stuff. ] What do they want? Do you know?

[ Oh! Thank you indeed, Baymax! He grins, gives the 'bot a thumbs up. ]
