Um...does anyone have any idea what happened? I know that was a loss, but...those things we remembered. D-did that...really happen, somewhere?

[CREEPEES]

U-um, I'm...very sorry for my behaviour over the past few days. It seems like I was on a very strange loss, and...well, that's no excuse, of course. But if there's anything I can do to make up for it, please.

A-and I'm sorry again.

Yosuke-kun...are you okay?

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

I kind of... went insane and stabbed Kallen, but, otherwise? Ahahaha...

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

Y-you...what?!

[ GDIT NOT HER GIRLCRUSH ]

[HE WAS PREPARED FOR THIS.]

S-she's fine! Her friend managed to- mind-control me or something and stop me from really hurting her, and she got healed up quick, and we already talked it out and everything's fine!

[...s-sob.]

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

Geez...and I thought what I did was bad. But, as long as she's okay, it should be fine.

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's a hundred percent and not even really pissed or anything... I guess she figured it was the castle screwing with us.

[wait]

...You did something too?

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

Huh...I would have thought Kallen-san was the type to hold a grudge. But I'm glad you worked everything out.

[ She'd be proud, if she wasn't still freaked out! You're learning, Yosuke. :>

And oh boy. Fatal pause here. ] Um...yes. Just saying horrible things to most people, but...there was one thing, to Souji.

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Considering how we met? Yeah, me too, but she's... really cool, actually.

[...oh lawd this can't end well, but he's too piqued not to hope for ~elaboration.~] Yeah, I, uh... I was kind of weird to lots of people too.

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

Mm, she is. I bet she gave you quite a challenge.

Have we gathered any information into precisely what happened yet? I remember things being...different, back home.

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

I think she was distracted by me trying to attack her friend... [bawww still feeling guilty.]

No, but- yeah, I remember things weird too. It's like I told Kallen, it's like I'm remembering two different versions of 'me' from back home, here.

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

I'd imagine so. Which friend was this?

Mm...can you tell me what you remember? I want to make sure we're all recalling the same thing.

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Not sure, uh... she said his name, I think, but I can't remember. Brown haired dude, about our age?

Um. Before last week? We beat Adachi and Izanami, world was fine. After last week... we never caught Adachi, and eventually the fog went nuts and Shadows appeared in the real world.

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

That doesn't ring any bells...I'll have to ask her later.

[ Hurgh. She was sort of afraid of that. ] That's what I remember, too. Do you think that's really what would've happened, if we'd failed?

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'm curious about what the hell he did to stop me there... it was really freakin' weird.

...I have no idea, and honestly, I don't think I wanna think about it too hard.

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to ask him that, too. It might come in handy if anything more should happen.

That's probably for the best...but still, to think things could go that badly if we failed. I don't think it ever hit me that that much was really on the line.

[Inaba]

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks. I kind of threatened to gut him or something, so I'm just... not gonna bother him for a while.

[ffff] Well... we won. That's what matters. Those, um, other memories are just something to scare the crap out of us, care of ol' Cair Paradisa.

[Inaba]

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

[ chuckle ] That might be wise, yes.

Seems like it. The place really loves picking at our most vulnerable spots.

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

[RETCONS WHAT ARE THOSE. WHAT MAGIC EYE THING MIND CONTROL, DID THAT HAPPEN?]

Yeah. I'll say I'm sorry and... stuff. Laterish.

It does. And I'm tired of it, but, [Can you hear him shrugging?] what're we gonna do about it?

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

[ /RECORD SCRATCH, REWIND ]

Good.

Mm...I've found that just going out and being happy is about as much as we can do against it. What do you say we do that again?

[advisortype.livejournal.com]

Hang out and have fun again? That doesn't sound like a bad thing, nope. ...As long as there aren't any kittens this time.

[fanassaults.livejournal.com]

[ Aww, Yosuke. That earns a laugh. ]

I think we can avoid kittens easily enough.

[ :3 ]

You never know. One might just fall out of the sky or something...
