[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?

Naa. Poison's a bad way to go. [He was grinning, and then he got thoughtful.] You clean my room for a week.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

See. You ain't got no reason to feel that way.

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

The only reason I said I see was because it was the nicest thing I could think of to respond to you with and because there was nothing more for me to say to you.

A week? Then I get breakfast for a week. What's your guess?

She's fast. I haven't asked about the mental strain though if there's any at all.

[That was one possibility as to why it seemed easy or quick to summon hers. Because shooting a card as opposed to shooting yourself in the head? It was a drastic difference.]

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Right. [Well, this was going from awkward to shitty really fast.]

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Deal. And twenty. And whoever's closest wins.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Huh. [Well, that might be something to look in to. If she was able to summon a Persona, and it was easy...maybe he could learn to...]

[she was silent for a second.] Don't tell Akihiko about this. I'm not certain he could take that kind of knowledge right now and he doesn't deserve it. Not after all he went through.

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

Sounds good.

[Fourth floor. HOW MANY WILL THERE BE? NOBODY KNOWS.]

Gotta admit, I never thought to do this. Maybe there are other interesting things up here.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

I never told him, Mitsuru. [And there's a sharp exhalation of breath.] And I never told you either. Just forget it.

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

That's...all I get? A request for me to pretend tat we didn't have this conversation? [She sighs.] Fine, I should not have expected any different.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

It might be a good idea. I've got one for my time here, and one for important things from home.

[Journals, for Mark, consist of filing cabinets full of typed documents, but the suggestion stands.]

You might want to make duplicates of things, too. In case it gets lost or ruined.

She's a good friend. [Not just an ally.] It might be best if we all knew each other.

I've nearly been here a year now, so it's a lot of information.

Do you have time to meet in person?

[Action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

You never thought to see how big this place is?

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Well, you ain't happy either way. Either way, I fucked up, so what's the point in tryin'? [ He scoffs. ] Figured that out a long time ago.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

That ain't a bad plan. [ He'd probably believe it if he forgot it, but it was in his handwriting. ]

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Maybe you invite her, next time we have a meeting.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

First things first. You got a name?

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

[There were so many things she wanted to say, about how much that hurt to hear and about how much he'd meant to her and Akihiko. Instead, she didn't say anything. She just looked down.] Alright.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Alright? Tch, now who's shuttin' down?

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

What more is there for either of us to say to each other? The past is the past, you made your choices.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

All right. [He nodded once. It was a good idea.] I'll let her know.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[ He couldn't argue with that, and he found himself at a loss as to what to say. ] I ain't just walkin' away from you here.
