[Shinjiro walks from his closet into the view of the camera carrying what looks like a webcam. He heaves a sigh and tosses the thing on his bed and picks up the device...

...and swears under his breath when he notices it's already on.]

Fine, smartass. You wanna turn on? Tch. Whatever.

[His eyes focus on the feed finally.]

Yuu, thanks. You know why.

[There's another, longer pause.]

So, a lotta people know this place makes you forget stuff, right? What do you guys do to try to remember?

Any of you had better luck findin' stuff to record with?

[He just found out he dies when he goes home. Sadness...sort of?]

Yeah.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[It's cool, bro. Yuu got stabbed to death right before arriving.]

I guess I'll talk to you later. Take care, okay?

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

...Alright.

[Stair-climbing is GREAT for strengthening the legs.]

[He thought about it.]

Mn. [He nodded.] That's fine. If she has more questions, she can ask me.

The way she summoned hers and her experience with Shadows are different. She's also from 2011, but younger than us.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[ouch...]

Yeah...uh, you too.

[At least finding the stairs isn't hard. He heads toward the center of the building (which isn't far, either) and starts heading up.]

...what?

[Don't make me punch you, Aki.]

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[His brow furrows.]

How's she summon her Persona?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[He saw it, saw how she had summoned. Alternate methods of summoning weren't surprising, but still. The fact she had one was surprising enough.]

A card. It needs to be destroyed to unleash it. She's only seen the Evoker in use when I had to use it.

What you did for Ken wasn't just letting yourself die. [She paused. Unless...] Was it, Shinjiro?

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[That's just weird, man.]

Destroy it how? She's gotta take the time to tear it up or somethin'?

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

There ain't no way I'd let anything happen to that kid, Mitsuru. My life don't matter. I ain't scared of dyin'. Dyin' for him...he deserves that much, and more. It's all I got to give, though.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Indeed.]

She shoots it with her gun. I haven't seen other methods used.

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly something hits her. She's silent for a long, long time.] That's it isn't it? Why you took the Suppressants without any regard for what they did, why you went to meet Ken that night, why you came back at all. You wanted to die. It wasn't about saving Ken in the moment, or about giving up your life unexpectedly to protect him. It was what you wanted, wasn't it?

Let's make a bet first. Gonna say...fifteen floors. [More like he wants it to be fifteen.]

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[He scoffed.] That sounds like a lot of work.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say anything for a very long time, and he turns away from the camera, hiding his expression from view.]

I ain't felt alive for a long time, Mitsuru.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[He heaves a sigh, because everything's a competition with Akihiko] What are we bettin'?

[action]

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

Hmm. [He hadn't really thought about that part.]

If I guess right, you make me breakfast sometime?

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

I see.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

But it's effective. The skill names are similar too.

It wasn't just her either. She was part of a team. Like us.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[He gives Akihiko a playful shove.]

That's great, dumbass, but what do I get out of it when I win?

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

...you shouldn't.

[action]

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

[He grins, recovering and trying to do the same back.]

...I don't think you want me to cook you breakfast. Your pick.

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't what?

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

It's effective to shoot a card?
