Hey ... dudes? I'm pretty sure last I checked, there was no way to fit an entire city under our dorm. I mean, a weird desert full of doors is one thing, but this?

[pause while stupei here stands around scratching his hat head for a sec]

Hey, did anyone see where Koromaru ran off to? Tch, friggin' dog ...

Well, it's not like I've been here before or anything.

[and he stops again, clearly hesitant. bars mean alcohol, and - yeah, that's not a fun happy thing for junpei. ever.]

Uh ... hey, are you sure it's such a good idea for us to be hanging around in a bar? We're kinda underage.

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

[ YEAH, ABOUT THAT, TOO. She doesn't know about this, of course, just waving a hand dismissively. ]

It's fine, since senpai runs it. We're gonna go straight into the back anyway.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

[HAHAHA oops. >_<]

Well ... I guess. Since it's Senpai ...

[he's still EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE with this idea ... but it's not like there's anywhere else to go, right? so he'll reluctantly resume following yukari into the bar.]

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

[ Weird...though now she thinks of it, Junpei never had drank in her experience, had he? She always just figured it was fear of Mitsuru.

Oh well. Into the bar! ]

Here we are. The apartment building we'll be staying at is just a block or two away; Horton. We can't go back there right now, but there should still be a room for you between me and Shinjiro-senpai.

[have you ever seen junpei look this jumpy? prrrrrrobably not. he'll be looking around very distracted-like now.]

When can we go there?

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

[ Only when she asks him if her butt looks big in a skirt. :3c ]

I dunno. Whenever all this trouble ends.

It's always pretty dangerous around here, but all these spawn things...entire buildings have been destroyed.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

Man ... suddenly, getting stuck in the dorm doesn't sound all that bad.

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding. Ugh, this place is so annoying sometimes.

[ Back room! It is as you'd expect, a few crates of stuff piled up, food in containers, and a few couches and a bed scattered around. Yukari sets her bow and quiver aside, her back facing him as she checks how many arrows are left.

Why no, she isn't trying to distract herself from Yosuke, of course not. ]

[herp derp completely oblivious. junpei helps himself to sitting on a couch and making himself at home.]

So hey, Yuka-tan, how long've you been here, anyway?

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Way too long. It's coming up on about nine months now.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

Nine months? [scratching the back of his hat head, looking pretty confused.] You sure about that? I don't remember you being gone that long.

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's some weird time stuff going on as well. If I do come back, I'll be back on the exact moment I left...like nothing ever happened.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

So that's like - what? [squints, trying to calculate which month was nine months from the end of march.] Last summer?

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Huh? No, it was mid-March when I got taken from home.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

Mid-March? [hat-scratchin' yeahhh] Wait, what year?

[action] lmfao i can never remember the years

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

...after everything happened.

[action] i think it's 2010 for them too but i'd have to check ._.

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

You mean ... all the stuff with Nyx?

[action] sounds about right!

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. After Graduation Day, when Minato-kun...

[ sdfag just gonna trail off there ]

[action] o/

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

Right ...

[man, now he feels like a jerk for bringing it up.]

So I guess you left before I did. It was March 31st before I left ... like, the third or fourth one.

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Third or fourth one?

But yeah, it was just mid-March then. We were just killing time until the next year of school started.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

The time-skip thing ... like, it was the end of the 31st, right? Midnight. And it's like someone hit a reset button the day, 'cause it was the 31st all over again!

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

...whatever that is, it hasn't happened to me yet. Are you serious?

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

I'm totally serious!

[he looks pretty serious.]

Come on, Yuka-tan. Would I joke about something like this?

[action]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

[ ...he really wouldn't. For all his bravado, Junpei never joked when things were serious. ]

...I think you'd better fill me in.

[action]

[overdoing.livejournal.com]

Well ...

[scratches the back of his hat again. why is thinking so hard.]

OK. So the dorm was getting closed down, right? And Senpai bought us all sushi for one last hurrah, so we stayed up and watched the news, and after midnight, there was this weird ... thing, and then it was the 31st all over again. We thought it was just a glitch or something, but then Aigis' sister showed up from underneath the lounge and tried to kill us all, and Aigis' Persona turned into - well, anyway, she fritzed out for a while. We couldn't leave the dorm at all, and when we got Aigis to wake up again, Lil' Sis told us all that time had skipped and we were going to keep repeating March 31st forever unless we found a way to get rid of the Abyss of Time.

[he pauses to make sure yukari's following thusfar.]
