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 ...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Jeez, I dunno ... the day keeps repeating itself. I kinda lost track of how long ago it was when this all started ...

Well, I definitely don't remember that. It-- hang on.

[ She clicks off the comm, finally reaching Lander. THERE'S THAT HAT and Junpei as well. After losing so many people, she can't help but smile. ]

Hey!

[junpei, of course, has no idea, so he just smiles his usual derpy smile anyway.]

Yo, Yuka-tan! Ha, long time no see.

[he says it in that silly joking way you say to people you've actually seen very recently; for him, he'd seen yukari maybe an hour ago. he doesn't realize it's been much longer for her. he'll eventually wrap his tiny brain around this situation. 8| ]

[ Way, wayyy longer, long enough that she actually came to terms with the fact that she really missed the big idiot. She does restrain herself from hugging him, because ew Junpei, but she definitely looks happier to see him than she ever has before. ]

I know, right? Come on, we've gotta get somewhere safe.

You got your sword on you?

[awww yuka-tan. you really like us. you really, really like us. :3 he'll be following your lead because he has no idea what's what around here.]

Nah, I left it back at the dorm. Figured it'd just get in the way of carrying supplies. But hey, not to worry - I still got my Evoker with me!

[herp derp grinning like a dumbass]

Uh, yeah. About that...

[ She's leading the way back to the Lights in the meantime, keeping a sharp eye out for monsters. ]

What about it? [kind of stupidly ambling along without paying much attention ... like a stupei does]

We've kind of...all got chips inside of us somewhere that limit our powers. Until we get them out, we can't summon our Personas here.

[SCREECHING TO A DEAD HALT HERE]

... What?

Yeahhh. We've just found out where the new chips are, though, so we can get them out pretty soon.

So ... you're serious about us getting kidnapped by aliens?

[which leads to an even more horrifying thought -]

Did they all, like ... probe us and stuff?

[ ...okay now she doesn't miss you as much. ]

No, they didn't probe us, Junpei.

But how do you know? If they put a chip in us ... isn't that pretty standard for aliens? Kidnap, probe, chip ... aww, dude. I feel so violated.

Just take my word for it, alright? There wasn't any probing.

Man, I dunno about this, Yuka-tan ...

[shiverrrrs do not want probing]

Hey, where are we going, anyway?

Back to the Northern Lights. It's a bar.

...and, um, you're probably not gonna believe me. But...Shinjiro-senpai runs it.

[DEAD STOPPING AGAIN]

... No friggin' way.

[ Just a reluctant nod here. Yyyyyep. ]

How is that even possible? He's - we saw him -

[deaaaad bleedin' all over the sidewalk yep]

That's just how this place works, Junpei. The scientists can do that.

[ She glances uneasily down the street; it's way too quiet. ] Come on, we've gotta hurry.

[picking up the pace a little - oh wait. random thought time. if there's scientists and they're bringing people back from the dead ... ]

Did they like ... Frankenstein him or somethin'?

...

No, they just brought him back. Kinda like Recarm.

... Oh.

[herp derp]

So, wait - these scientist dudes have Personas too?

No, they've just-- I don't know. Geez, you're full of questions.

[ But the Lights is getting closer, and she nods him towards it. ] There's the bar. I'll answer everything else later, okay?

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.
